[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

Hi! I finally got around to push my code to github: https://github.com/acroy/Lasem.jl There is a directory winston, which contains two variants of replacing the Winston text-rendering functions. One version uses itex2mml + MathML rendering provided by Lasem, while the other version assumes tha

I think TikzPictures.jl [1] is what you are looking for, but it does not seem to work with Julia 0.4 out of the box (judging by the automatic PackageEvaluator issue it broke only recently [2]). I fixed the issue (at least I think I did) and it now works as expected so you can get it from my fo

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

I have not tested the speed of lasme, but using it would very likely be slower than the current code since it has to convert tex to mathml and then parse that to render the formula. I guess for most use cases one could optimize this difference almost away by caching the mathml (DOM) or even the

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

I would definitely be an improvement over the current text renderer. By the way, do you have an idea of how will it affect the speed of plotting? On the other hand, what is the main reason for not using the system LaTeX renderer and use lasme (or any other built-in renderer) as a fallback? I

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

So lasme+Winston would look like in the attached picture. There are still some rough edges: I am not sure the alignment and bounding boxes for the rotated text are correct and the fontsize is fixed to whatever lasme gives back (I think it is 10pt). The nice thing is that one could use almost the

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

Hi, I think lasem (https://github.com/GNOME/lasem) could actually be useful until we have our own rendering engine. It uses Cairo+Pango as backend(s) and can actually deal with SVG, MathML and also latex input (via itex2mml). The dependencies are not so horrible (gobject, glib, gio, gdk-pixbuf,

Ok, maybe mimetex is not exactly what we need (seems there is no way to control the resolution of the output image). But it was fun to play with :-) julia> using MimeTeX julia> tex2raster("f(x)=\\int_{-\\infty}^x e^{-t^2}dt",2) ⠀⢀⡀⠀⠐⢹⠉⠃⠀⣀⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⠤

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

Yes, mimetex only produces bitmaps, which is not really optimal. Ideally we want something that yields vector graphics. But maybe mimetex is worth a try anyways ... (as Pawel said until we have something better). Best, Alex. On Sunday, 28 September 2014 14:57:31 UTC+2, Andreas Lobinger wrote:

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

That sounds like a reasonable approach to try. I think one way to do this might be 1. Wrapping mimetex into a package to use it from Julia. Maybe one could turn it into a shared library first (there seems to be a DLL version already)? This might be useful also for other purposes. 2. Find some

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

I found out that mimetex [1] produces images of reasonable quality, is small and has no dependencies. Do you think it could be used as a temporary solution until a TeX parser is implemented? [1] http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html W dniu sobota, 20 września 2014 08:50:38 UTC+2 użytkownik Andre

Paweł, there's no one better than you to do that! Everyone here is a volunteer, and contributing documentation is a terrific way to help out. If you just grep for latex in the Winston source, that should help you find all the relevant information. Best, --Tim On Thursday, September 18, 2014 02

It's there in fine print: The typesetting of MathML is done via a component of firefox and then rendered via Cairo/Pango.

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

Thanks, this is missing from the documentation of the Winston package. Maybe someone should add a short info on the typesetting options, so people won't have to go to the mailing list to figure it out. As for Pango rendering MathML there is an example at the end of the script gallery [1]. But

Well, the PGFPlot certainly produces nicer plots but I can't use them in REPL properly. The function plot() works and displays a plot, but I cannot add any annotations (Axis,Title etc.). Maybe I am missing something from the tutorial you linked to. W dniu czwartek, 18 września 2014 00:01:25 U

[julia-users] Re: LaTeX labels in Winston

Hi Pawel, AFAIK the rendering of the labels is actually handled by Cairo.jl (look for tex2pango in Cairo.jl ). There some TeX commands (\it, \rm, _, ^, etc) are translated into Pango markup format

But it does not look like LaTeX is actually used in this example, especially if you cannot use \frac and other commands. Or maybe this is some restricted version of LaTeX. W dniu środa, 17 września 2014 23:47:24 UTC+2 użytkownik Kaj Wiik napisał: > > Hi! > > It works fine with version 0.3.0 Ubu
