Prerequisites: Setting Up for LaTeX Figure Rendering

  1. Install Aspose.TeX for .NET:
    • Add Aspose.TeX for .NET to your project using NuGet:
      dotnet add package Aspose.TeX
  2. License Configuration:
    • Set up your metered license with SetMeteredKey() to unlock all features.

Step-by-Step Guide to Customize LaTeX Figure Rendering

Step 1: Install Aspose.TeX for .NET

Add Aspose.TeX for .NET to your project using NuGet.

dotnet add package Aspose.TeX

Step 2: Set Up Your License

Configure your license to access the full functionality of Aspose.TeX.

using Aspose.TeX;

Metered license = new Metered();
license.SetMeteredKey("<your public key>", "<your private key>");
Console.WriteLine("Metered license configured successfully.");

Step 3: Configure Rendering Options

Set up options for LaTeX rendering. Use PngFigureRendererPluginOptions for PNG output or SvgFigureRendererPluginOptions for SVG output.

PngFigureRendererPluginOptions options = new PngFigureRendererPluginOptions()
{
    BackgroundColor = Color.White,  // Set background color
    Resolution = 300,  // Adjust resolution
    Margin = 10  // Set margin around the figure
};
Console.WriteLine("PNG rendering options configured.");

Step 4: Adjust Parameters

Fine-tune parameters like resolution, margins, and background color for the best output.

options.Resolution = 400;  // High resolution for sharp images
options.Margin = 20;  // Increase margin for better spacing
Console.WriteLine("Rendering parameters customized.");

Step 5: Render the LaTeX Figure

Render the LaTeX figure using the configured options.

FigureRendererPlugin renderer = new FigureRendererPlugin();
using (Stream stream = File.Open("output.png", FileMode.Create))
{
    options.AddOutputDataTarget(new StreamDataSource(stream));
    ResultContainer result = renderer.Process(options);
}
Console.WriteLine("LaTeX figure rendered successfully.");

Step 6: Test the Output

Check the generated PNG or SVG file to ensure that all customizations have been applied correctly.

Deployment and Applications

  1. Web Applications:
    • Render LaTeX equations dynamically for use in online platforms or CMS.
  2. Academic Publishing:
    • Create high-quality LaTeX figures for research papers and presentations.
  3. Cross-Platform Deployment:
    • Use the solution on Windows, Linux, and macOS for consistent results.

Common Issues and Fixes

1. Low-Quality Output

  • Solution: Increase the resolution in PngFigureRendererPluginOptions to improve quality.

2. Incorrect Background Color

  • Solution: Ensure the BackgroundColor parameter is set to a valid Color value.

3. Margins Not Applied
