EQN2GRAPH(1) General Commands Manual EQN2GRAPH(1)
NAME
eqn2graph - convert an EQN equation into a cropped image
SYNOPSIS
eqn2graph [-format output-format] [convert-arguments]
eqn2graph --help
eqn2graph -v
eqn2graph --version
DESCRIPTION
eqn2graph reads a one-line eqn(1) equation from the standard input and writes an image
file, by default in Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format, to the standard output.
The input EQN code should not be preceded by the .EQ macro that normally precedes it
within groff(1) macros; nor do you need to have dollar-sign or other delimiters around the
equation.
Arguments not recognized by eqn2graph are passed to the ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick pro-
gram convert(1). By specifying these, you can give your image a border, set the image's
pixel density, or perform other useful transformations.
The output image is clipped using convert's -trim option to the smallest possible bounding
box that contains all the black pixels.
OPTIONS
-format output-format
Write the image in output-format, which must be understood by convert; the default
is PNG.
--help Display a usage message and exit.
-v
--version
Display version information and exit.
