Package: texgd
Version: 3.28-6.1
texgd takes from the environment variable 'texgd_texheader' 'the name of
a TeX file to be prepended before the formula' (cited from man page).
This works well if and only if this file name ends in '.tex'. There is
no reason for this restriction. It prevents effectively using mktemp to
create this header file (see script below).
Note that texgd will produce a result nevertheless, but behaves as if
the texgd_texheader variable had been empty (i.e. the indicated header
file is not included).
Consider the following script, which works well with the first
'TMPHEADER=...' line commented and second not, but not with the first
line active and the second not:
#!/bin/bash
# eqn2png: wrapper around texgd to process multiple equations
# usage: eqn2png example.tex
#TMPHEADER=`mktemp` || exit 1 # can't have .tex extension in template
TMPHEADER=/tmp/header.tex # potential security problem
# without this, the pagenumber appears (far away) as part of the equation...
echo '\nopagenumbers' > "$TMPHEADER"
# bits taken from /usr/share/doc/texgd/examples/, see also man-page
wims_fontdir=/usr/lib/wims/public_html/mathfonts
tmp_fontdir=/tmp/mathfonts
if [ -d ${wims_fontdir} ]; then
if [ ! -d ${tmp_fontdir} ]; then cp -R ${wims_fontdir} /tmp; fi
else
if [ ! -d ${tmp_fontdir} ]; then mkdir ${tmp_fontdir}; fi
fi
for f in "$@" ; do
out=`basename "$f" tex`png
echo "converting $f to $out"
texgd_src=$(cat "$f") \
texgd_tmpdir=/tmp \
texgd_fontdir=${tmp_fontdir} \
texgd_outfile=$out \
texgd_texheader="$TMPHEADER" \
texgd_style='$$' \
texgd_density=1 \
texgd_compressratio='3' \
texgd
done
# end eqn2png
