KLatexFormula is an easy-to-use, open source, graphical application for generating images (that you can drag and drop, copy and paste or save to disk) from LaTeX equations.
The software is Qt5-based. It doesn’t require KDE to run.
KLatexFormula also provides libraries, including klftools and klfbackend, which can be used in other programs.
Key Features
- Drag and drop either by dragging the image directly, either by pressing on the DRAG button, and drop the image in another application (OpenOffice.org, Gimp, Inkscape, …).
- Wide range of output formats are supported including SVG, PNG, JPG, BMP, PS/EPS, DVI, ODG, HTML, EMF/WMF, GIF, and PDF.
- Support for high-resolution screens such as Retina displays.
- Formula library.
- User scripts let users add additional functionality such as converting formats into a different format.
- Cross platform support – runs natively on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems.
