.\" ====================================================================
.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" ====================================================================
.
.I eqn2graph
reads a one-line
.IR eqn (1)
equation from the standard input and writes an image file,
by default in Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format,
to the standard output.
.
.
.PP
The input EQN code should
.I not
be preceded by the
.B \&.EQ
macro that normally precedes it within
.IR groff (1)
macros;
nor do you need to have dollar-sign or other delimiters around the
equation.
.
.
.\" FIXME: How old? This text hasn't been touched since 2008 at latest.
.\" Older versions of
.\" .I \%convert
.\" will produce a black-on-white graphic; newer ones may produce a
.\" black-on-transparent graphic.
.
.PP
Arguments not recognized by
.I eqn2graph
are passed to the ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick program
.IR \%convert (1).
.
.
By specifying these, you can give your image a border,
.\" Transparent backgrounds are the default in 2018.
.\" force the background transparent,
set the image's pixel density,
or perform other useful transformations.
.
.
.PP
The output image is clipped using
.IR \%convert 's
.B \-trim
option to the smallest possible bounding box that contains all the black
pixels.
.
.

.SH OPTIONS
.\" ====================================================================
.

.IR output-format ,
which must be understood by
.IR \%convert ;
the default is PNG.
