scitex-tex

LaTeX helpers (export to .tex, compile to PDF, render preview images, vector formatting) extracted from the SciTeX ecosystem as a standalone package.

Install

pip install scitex-tex

API

import scitex_tex as tx

# Convert a SciTeX-style writer doc → .tex
tx.export_tex(doc, "manuscript.tex")

# Compile .tex → .pdf (returns CompileResult)
result = tx.compile_tex("manuscript.tex")

# Render a snippet to a preview image
tx.preview(r"$\sum_{i=1}^N x_i$", "preview.png")

# Format a numeric value with sig-fig rules
tx.to_vec(1.234e-3, sig_figs=3)

Status

Standalone fork of scitex.tex. Only dep is matplotlib (for preview rendering). The umbrella package's scitex.tex import path is preserved via a sys.modules-alias bridge. 128/128 tests pass.
