eqe: GUI image generator from LaTeX input
eqe is a graphical tool to generate an image from LaTeX input. It will save
images to any format supported by ImagMagick. It supports drag and drop to
other applications in various ways.
OpenOffice Impress 1.x accepts drag and drop from
"eqe", but links to
"eqe"'s temporary file. To include the
image inside the presentation, in OOImpress, use Edit -> Links... ->
Break link. OpenOffice 2.x works fine without this workaround.
Inside eqe, click the image to regenerate it. You can also use
Shift-Return, and the Enter key on the keypad.
It relies on eqedit to do the actual image generation.
- --help
- Displays the list of command line options.
- --version
- Displays the current version of
"eqe".
- --verbose
- Displays messages about what "eqe" is
doing.
- --latex-template=<file> [template.tt.tex]
- LaTeX template to use. eqedit searches for the template (by default,
template.tt.tex) in $HOME/.eqe/,
/usr/local/share/eqe/, /usr/share/eqe/. If it cannot be found, it uses a
builtin template. You may specify just a name (searched for in the search
path), or an absolute or relative path to the template to be used. The
template is in a format described in "perldoc
Template::Manual::Syntax" (ie, the Template Toolkit
syntax).
- --eqedit=<eqedit executable> [eqedit]
- Specifies the name of the "eqedit"
binary used to generate images from LaTeX input
("eqedit" is distributed with
"eqe"). Can be an absolute path, or just
a name ("eqe" will search for it in the
PATH).
- --keep-temp [off]
- Whether to keep temporary files. Together with
"--verbose", useful for debugging.
