What is texlive-dvipng
This program makes PNG and/or GIF graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. Its benefits include Speed. It offers very fast rendering of DVI as bitmap files, which makes it suitable for generating large amounts of images on-the-fly, as needed in preview-latex, WeBWorK and others; - It does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. There is a –follow switch that makes dvipng wait at end-of-file for further output, unless it finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI; - 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. - Support for PK, VF, PostScript Type1, and TrueType fonts, colour specials, and inclusion of PostScript, PNG, JPEG or GIF images.
