formula2eps - a suggestion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes I would like to write a report using Finalwriter which contains
some complicated formulas. Because this is not possible I had to write
the whole document in LaTeX.
Now there are some programms which produce EPS- or IFF-output (MathPaint,
MathScript,...) - but they use an own syntax which is very bad.
Yesterday I tried out MathScript - it crashed. So I wrote this
short and trivial script which does the same thing using LaTeX and
dvips.
This script is meant as a suggestion - not more !
Advantages:
-you can produce *VERY* complicated formulas
-you can use your LaTeX-knowledge and haven't to learn a new syntax
-you can enhance the script to create tables, matrices,...
Requirements:
-LaTeX (called via "virtex &glplain") \_change this to fit your
-dvips (called via "dvips040") / configuration
-68020+
-4 MB RAM (I don't know)
Result:
-an EPS-file at 300dpi which looks professional but you can't scale *UP*
Example:
formula2eps "\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} sin(a_n x)" test.eps
