Convert LaTeX to PNG in .NET with Aspose.TeX

Introduction

Welcome to our step-by-step guide on converting LaTeX to PNG in .NET using Aspose.TeX. If you’re a .NET developer looking to seamlessly integrate LaTeX document conversion into your applications, you’re in the right place. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process, breaking down each step to ensure a smooth and successful conversion.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• Aspose.TeX for .NET: Ensure that you have Aspose.TeX for .NET installed. You can download it from here.

• Working Directory: Set up a working directory for the output. You can specify this in the options for saving the converted PNG.

Now that you have the prerequisites in place, let’s move on to the implementation.

Import Namespaces

In your .NET project, include the necessary namespaces to use Aspose.TeX:

using Aspose.TeX.IO;
using Aspose.TeX.Presentation.Image;
using System.IO;

Step 1: Create Conversion Options

// ExStart:Conversion-LaTeXToPng-Simplest
// Create conversion options for Object LaTeX format upon Object TeX engine extension.
TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.ConsoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.ObjectLaTeX);
// Specify a file system working directory for the output.
options.OutputWorkingDirectory = new OutputFileSystemDirectory("Your Output Directory");
// Initialize the options for saving in PNG format.
options.SaveOptions = new PngSaveOptions();

Step 2: Choose Output Format

Choose the desired output format by initializing the corresponding options. In this example, we use PNG, but you can also explore other formats like JPEG, TIFF, or BMP by uncommenting the respective lines.

// ExStart:Aspose.TeX.Examples-Conversion-LaTeXToJpeg
// options.SaveOptions = new JpegSaveOptions();
// ExEnd:Aspose.TeX.Examples-Conversion-LaTeXToJpeg

// ExStart:Aspose.TeX.Examples-Conversion-LaTeXToTiff
// options.SaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
// ExEnd:Aspose.TeX.Examples-Conversion-LaTeXToTiff

// ExStart:Aspose.TeX.Examples-Conversion-LaTeXToBmp
// options.SaveOptions = new BmpSaveOptions();
// ExEnd:Aspose.TeX.Examples-Conversion-LaTeXToBmp

Step 3: Run Conversion

Initiate the LaTeX to PNG conversion process using the following code:

// Run LaTeX to PNG conversion.
new TeXJob(Path.Combine("Your Input Directory", "hello-world.ltx"), new ImageDevice(), options).Run();
// ExEnd:Conversion-LaTeXToPng-Simplest

And that’s it! You have successfully converted a LaTeX document to PNG using Aspose.TeX for .NET.
