README

Imaginator is a ruby library to generate images from LaTeX/Graphviz code in a background job. This library is derived from my latex-renderer library.

Usage

Imaginator.uri = 'drbunix://tmp/imaginator.sock'
Imaginator.dir = '/tmp/imaginator'

Imaginator.run do |server|
  server.add_renderer(:math,  Imaginator::LaTeX.new)
  server.add_renderer(:dot,   Imaginator::Graphviz.new(:cmd => 'dot'))
  server.add_renderer(:neato, Imaginator::Graphviz.new(:cmd => 'neato'))
  server.add_renderer(:twopi, Imaginator::Graphviz.new(:cmd => 'twopi'))
  server.add_renderer(:circo, Imaginator::Graphviz.new(:cmd => 'circo'))
  server.add_renderer(:fdp,   Imaginator::Graphviz.new(:cmd => 'fdp'))
end

...

name = Imaginator.get.enqueue(:math, '1+1')
...
filename = Imaginator.get.result(name)

TODO

• Write unit tests or specs
