Create png image from TikZ code. Useful for quickly viewing TikZ graphics. The script is in large part a collection of code I found in the WWW. #!/bin/bash ## usage: tikz2png file.tex ## Remove path and ".tex" from end of first argument. FILE=`basename ${1%.tex}` ## We cd into the destination directory in order to avoid problems ## with pdflatex when the tmp.tex file includes a file with path. cd `dirname $1` ## Create .tex input file. echo "\documentclass{article}\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}\usepackage{tikz,amsmath}\usetikzlibrary{arrows,backgrounds,patterns,matrix,shapes,fit,calc,shadows,plotmarks}\usepackage[graphics,tightpage,active]{preview}\PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture}\PreviewEnvironment{equation}\PreviewEnvironment{equation*}\newlength{\imagewidth}\newlength{\imagescale}\pagestyle{empty}\thispagestyle{empty}\begin{document}\include{$FILE}\end{document}" > tmp.tex ## Create pdf file. pdflatex tmp ## Use supersampling so that text is antialiased. ## density 600=2*300 where 300 is nominal density resized down by 50%. ## This takes longer: -density 1200 tmp.pdf -resize 25%. convert -density 600 tmp.pdf -resize 50% $FILE.png ## Tidy up. rm tmp.* rm $FILE.aux # Return to original directory cd - Changelog
