Export formats
To import TpX drawing into some other program, to
embed fonts into EPS/PDF or to publish drawing on the
Web TpX export capabilities could be used ("Save as.." in
"File" menu). TpX can export to several formats. Note that
most export formats can not incorporate TeX fonts
and formulas (however, see below on "LaTeX EPS",
and derived formats; also note MetaPost which is LaTeX-aware).
- EPS. Type 1 font (.pfb) could be embedded. Set
the path to a font in
"TpX Settings".
- PDF. Currently font embedding is not implemented,
so only Latin characters and Times are supported.
- PDF from EPS. PDF is created from EPS using
GhostScript. Set the path to the program in
"TpX Settings".
- Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). A promising Web
vector graphics format. Needs a viewer. Several popular vector
graphics editors like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator can read
it.
- Bitmap (PNG, BMP). PNG is more compact and could
be viewed in most modern Web browsers so it is recommended.
- Enhanced Metafile (EMF). Standard Windows vector
format. It can also be copied to Windows clipboard and then pasted
into some other program (like MS Word, PowerPoint,
Adobe Illustrator).
- LaTeX EPS (latex-dvips).
EPS produced by running latex and dvips on TpX drawing.
This format allows to include LaTeX formulas and embed fonts
so it is the format of choice for high-quality stand-alone
graphics. Attempt is made to ensure tight bounding box for the EPS.
- PDF from LaTeX EPS (latex-dvips-gs-pdf).
The same as "LaTeX EPS" with additional run of GhostScript to
produce PDF.
- LaTeX custom (latex-dvips-gs-<foo>).
The same as "LaTeX EPS" with additional run of GhostScript to
produce a custom image in a format supported by GhostScript.
This is a format of choice to produce high-quality bitmaps
with LaTeX formulas.
Set GhostscriptCustomKeys to change the device and resolution.
- Metapost program.
- Metapost EPS output (MPS).
- LaTeX preview source.
Parent LaTeX document and other files needed to create
a DVI/PS preview. This is useful for debugging purposes.
- PdfLaTeX preview source.
Parent pdfLaTeX document and other files needed to create
a PDF preview.
