Steps to Convert LaTeX to PNG Using C++

Aspose.TeX makes it easy for developers to transform LaTeX files to PNG in just a few lines of code.

Instantiate the TeXOptions class.
Specify the file system working directory for the output by calling the set_OutputWorkingDirectory() method.
Initialize save options for the PNG format using the PngSaveOptions class.
Instantiate the TeXJob class with a newly created ImageDevice object and run the LaTeX to PNG conversion using the Run() method.

Get Started with the C++ TeX API

Install from the command line typing nuget install Aspose.TeX.Cpp or via the Visual Studio Package Manager Console using Install-Package Aspose.TeX.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .

LaTeX What is LaTeX File Format

LaTeX is a TeX format if said briefly. LaTeX files are plain text files written in their own markup language. They may require the inclusion of other data like images and/or other LaTeX files. LaTeX provides you with plenty of advanced features to create tables, include graphics, write math equations and formulas, etc. All these features are available in so-called packages.

PNG What is PNG File Format

Portable Network Graphics or PNG is one of the most popular image formats. It gives you really good compression maintaining the high level of quality of the picture. PNG is also one of the best formats for web projects, as the files are lighter and images are easy to scale. One drawback of the format when used on the web is that it is not possible to add keywords to the image directly.
