Description:
NAME
     dvipng - A DVI-to-PNG translator

SYNOPSIS
     dvipng [options] filename

     dvipng [options] [filename] -

DESCRIPTION
     This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained
     from TeX and its relatives.  The benefits include

     o   Speed. It is a very fast bitmap-rendering code for DVI
         files. On a fairly low-end laptop, it takes less than a
         second to generate 150 one-formula images. This makes
         dvipng suitable for generating large amounts of images
         on-the-fly, as needed in preview-latex, WeBWorK and
         others.

     o   It does not read the postamble, so it can be started
         before TeX finishes. There is a --follow switch that
         makes dvipng wait at EOF for further output, unless it
         finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI.

     o   Interactive query of options. dvipng can read options
         interactively through stdin, and all options are usable.
         It is even possible to change the input file through
         this interface.

     o   Supports PK, VF, PostScript Type1, and TrueType fonts,
         color specials and simple PostScript inclusion specials.

     o   and more...
