Hi Zach,
Firstly, latex creates .dvi images, ghostscript converts .dvi to .ps,
and pstoimg converts .ps to .gif.
The way I get white backgrounds and ensure images have white
backgrounds too, is to add the following to a .latex2html-init file
(which should be in your home directory, or I believe it can also
be in the same directory you are currently working):
$BODYTEXT = "text=\"\#000000\" bgcolor=\"\#FFFFFF\"";
# This ensures that some figures do not end up with a grey background
$WHITE_BACKGROUND = 1;
$LATEX_COLOR = "\\pagecolor{white}";
There was some discussion on this some months back, containing
suggestions that work better, apparently ... but this worked fine
for me. The last line of your .latex2html-init file should be:
1; # This must be the last line
I also have things like:
# If this is set then the resulting HTML will look marginally better if viewed
# with Netscape.
$NETSCAPE_HTML = 1;
and
# Reuse images generated during previous runs
$REUSE = 2;
in my .latex2html-init file. There is a file dot.latex2html-init
with the latex2html distribution ... you can use this as a template
for your own .latex2html-init file.
