Hi there,
thanks to Thomas and Eric. I actually found a rather stupid mistake: I was already using a var (for the png filename generation) and the header did not read the next :var. So I added ,fs=fontsize to the first :var and now it works. I will have a look Eric's function of how to get the value of e.g. fontsize and so on (btw, I also need textwidth and textheight from somewhere). I also found a python pgf package but I couldn't figure out fast how to implement that (it sounds as if instead of png a pgf is generated and then everything has the right latex layout, so pretty cool, but it seemed not so easy to implement). So long, cheers! J Thomas S.
