Rendering Formulas

imageForFormula :: EnvironmentOptions -> FormulaOptions -> Formula -> IO (Either RenderError (Baseline, DynamicImage))

Convert a formula into a JuicyPixels DynamicImage, also detecting where the typesetting baseline of the image is.

type Formula = String

A LaTeX formula, e.g x=frac{-bpmsqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} for the quadratic formula. Do not include any $s to denote the environment, just specify the environment in the FormulaOptions instead.

type Baseline = Int

Number of pixels from the bottom of the image to the typesetting baseline. Useful for setting your formulae inline with text.

Errors

data RenderError

This type contains all possible errors than can happen while rendering an equation. It includes all IO errors that can happen as well as more specific errors.

Constructors

ImageIsEmpty

The equation produced an empty image

CannotDetectBaseline

The baseline marker could not be found

LaTeXFailure String

latex returned a nonzero error code

DVIPSFailure String

dvips returned a nonzero error code

IMConvertFailure String

convert returned a nonzero error code

IOException IOException

An IOException occurred while managing the temporary files used to convert the equation

ImageReadError String

The PNG image from ImageMagick could not be read by JuicyPixels.
