ltximg

ltximg [<options>] [--] <filename>.<tex|ltx>

ltximg automates the process of extracting and converting environments from LaTeX file to image formats and standalone files using ghostscript and poppler-utils. Generates a one file with only extracted environments and other with all extracted environments converted to "\includegraphics".

By default the extracted environments are:

preview pspicture tikzpicture pgfpicture psgraph postscript PSTexample

Options that accept a value require either a blank space or "=" between the option and the value. Multiple short options can be bundling and if the last option takes a comma separated list you need "--" at the end. Relative or absolute paths for directories and files is not supported.

If used without [<options>] the extracted environments are converted to pdf image format and saved in "./images" directory using "pdflatex" and preview package for process.

-P, --ppm

-f, --force

-n, --noprew

-r integer, --runs=integer
