LaTeX formula to image (PNG)

Problem
With LaTeX you produce a nice formula that you would like to crop and convert to an image.
Solution
Let’s see the following simple LaTeX source:
\documentclass{article} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} $a^2+b^2=c^2$ \end{document}
Save it as file.tex
and execute “latex file.tex
“, which will produce a DVI output (file.dvi
). The image conversion is done the following way:
dvipng -T tight -x 1200 -z 9 file.dvi -o file.png
Ref.: I saw this conversion technique in justinvh’s Markdown-LaTeX project. If your goal is to include LaTeX formulae in HTML, try his script.
