Steps of the TeX to SVG Conversion in Java

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

Create an object of the TeXOptions class.
To set the space, or area, where TeX output will be written, set the file system working directory for the output using the OutputWorkingDirectory property.
Initialize save options for the SVG format using the SvgSaveOptions class.
Create an object of the TeXJob class and run the LaTeX to SVG conversion using the run() method.

System Requirements

Aspose.TeX for Java is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

J2SE 8.0 (1.8) or above.

Input file

Upload a file you want to convert

Run code

Output format

Select the target format

                            
// Create conversion options for Object {{config}} format on Object TeX engine extension.
TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.consoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.object{{config}}());
// Specify the file system working directory for the output.
options.setOutputWorkingDirectory(new OutputFileSystemDirectory(Utils.getOutputDirectory()));
// Initialize the options for saving in {{output upper}} format.
options.setSaveOptions(new {{output camel}}SaveOptions());

// Run {{config}} to {{output upper}} conversion.
new TeXJob(Utils.getInputDirectory() + "{{inputFile}}", new {{device}}Device(), options).run();

                
// Create conversion options for Object TeX format on Object TeX engine extension.
TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.consoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.objectTeX());
// Specify the file system working directory for the output.
options.setOutputWorkingDirectory(new OutputFileSystemDirectory(Utils.getOutputDirectory()));
// Initialize the options for saving in SVG format.
options.setSaveOptions(new SvgSaveOptions());

// Run TeX to SVG conversion.
new TeXJob(Utils.getInputDirectory() + "hello-world.tex", new SvgDevice(), options).run();

TeX What is TeX File Format

TeX is not actually a format. It is both a programming language and also an interpreter engine that understands this language. A TeX file is a plain text file created using TeX syntax to be converted to some target format by being processed by a TeX engine. This output document may include graphics, tables, lists, formulas, and equations.

SVG What is SVG File Format

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a Page Description Language based on XML/ It is developed to create two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics. SVG document is a text file that describes images as geometric primitives: lines, curves, shapes, text, etc. The file includes a set of commands, formulas, and numbers to define the vector objects.
