Window 9x/NT

Version november 2000

Erik Van Eynde

KULeuven - LUDIT

Contents

1. Main objective.

2. How we can do it?

Postscript / Ghostview way.

Equation Magic Light V2.2

3. How import this in Corel Draw.

4. Evaluation.

LUDIT/EVE

1. Main Objective
• (La)Tex is a good tool for typesetting complexe formules.
• Now we want to import the same code onthe CorelDraw/Gimp canvas making posters.

LUDIT/EVE

2. How we can do it?
• Ghostscript - Gsview way
• Equation Magic Light way
• Convert to AI format and use of psedit software (we don’t discuss this item)

LUDIT/EVE

Ghostscript - Gsview way
• We start from this LaTeX code-- Foo.tex\documentclass{article} \begin{document} $$\int_{0}^{x} f(y)dy = \sin x$$ \end{document}

LUDIT/EVE

Winedt/Miktex
• Winedt/Miktex installation we run LaTex
• For compile => LaTeX icon -- foo.dvi
• For preview => DVI icon
• For Postscript output => DVIPS icon -- foo.ps
• For invoking Ghostview => Gsview icon

Gsview
• Rewrite the Postscript code to normalised code with File | Convert and select epswritedevice with 300dpi resolution (foo1.ps).
• Create a bounding boxFile | Ps to Epsno flag for automatically creating a BBoxclick on the borders. Now we have created a foo.eps file

LUDIT/EVE

Gsview
• Rewrite the Postscript code to normalised code with File | Convert and select epswritedevice with 300dpi resolution.
• Create a bounding box
• Now you have created a foo.eps file

Equation Magic - Light
• Equation Magic Software
• Two version :
• Light version -- freeware
• Pro version -- shareware
• Open a foo.tex file or Copy/Paste the code. Insert only the mathematical formula !!!

LUDIT/EVE

3. Corel Draw
• Ghostscript / Gsview way import foo.eps on the Corel Draw canvas
• Equation Magic way Copy the formule from Equation Magic and Paste on Corel Draw

LUDIT/EVE

Corel Draw

LUDIT/EVE

4. Evaluation
• Ghostscript / ghostview way
• Pro general way - independent of your Latex code.
• Contra Long wayYou don’t see the formula in Corel DrawFor printing you need a Postscript printer

LUDIT/EVE

Evaluation
• Equation Magic way
• Pro Easy way - Cut & Paste methodYou can generate a LaTeX code WYSIWYG
• Contra Dependant of the LateX codeFor complex formula you need PRO versionIs not a general way - a lot of restrictions

LUDIT/EVE

Evaluation
• Remarks
• For GIMP graphic package in both cases I have problem with internal memory…
• There is a third solution with ps2ai & pstoedit in that case CorelDRAW can disassmble your formula in objects. Each object can be changed (not discussed)

5. Questions, Thanks ...
