DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the klatexformula program. klatexformula provides a GUI
       to easily get an image from a  LaTeX  formula  or  equation.  It  can  alos  be  used  via
       commandline using the options below.

OPTIONS

       -i,--input file
                 Specifies a file to read latex input from.

       -l,--latexinput expression
                 Specifies the LaTeX code of an equation to render.

       -o,--output file
                 Specifies  to write the output image (obtained from equation given by --input or
                 --latexinput) to file or standard output.

       -F,--format format
                 Specifies the format the output should be written in. By default, the format  is
                 guessed from file name extension and defaults to PNG.

       -f,--fgcolor '#xxxxxx'
                 Specifies  a  color  (in  web  #RRGGBB  hex format) to use for foreground color.
                 Don't forget to escape the '#' to prevent the shell from interpreting  it  as  a
                 comment.

       -b,--bgcolor '#xxxxxx'
                 Specifies  a color (in web #RRGGBB hex format, or '-' for transparent) to use as
                 background color (defaults to transparent).

       -X,--dpi N
                 Use N dots per inch (DPI) when converting latex output  to  image.  Defaults  to
                 1200 (high-resolution image).

       -m,--mathmode  expression containing '...'
                 Specifies  which LaTeX math mode to use, if any. The termument to this option is
                 any string containing "...", which will be  replaced  by  the  equation  itself.
                 Defaults to "\[ ... \]"

       -p,--preamble LaTeX code
                 Any  LaTeX  code  that  will  be  inserted  before  \begin{document}. Useful for
                 including custom packages with \usepackage{...}.

       -q,--quiet
                 Disable console output of warnings and errors.

       --lborderoffset N,--tborderoffset N,--rborderoffset N,--bborderoffset N
                 Include a mtermin of N postscript points on left, top, right, or bottom  mtermin
                 respectively.

       --tempdir /path/to/temp/dir
                 Specify  the  directory  in  which  KLatexFormula  will  write  temporary files.
                 Defaults to a system-specific temporary directory like "/tmp/".

       --latex latex executable

       --dvips dvips executable

       --gs gs executable

       --epstopdf epstopdf executable
                 Specifiy the executable for latex, dvips, gs or epstopdf. By default,  they  are
                 searched for in $PATH and/or in common system directories.

       -h,--help Display this help text and exit.

       -V,--version
                 Display KLatexFormula version information and exit.

       -Q,--qtoption qt-option
                 Specify  a Qt-Specific option. For example, to launch KLatexFormula in Plastique
                 GUI style, use: klatexformula  --qtoption='-style=Plastique' Note  that  if  qt-
                 option  begins  with  a  '-', then it must be appended to the long '--qtoption='
                 syntax with the equal sign.
