FYI;

I found that the following setting ELIMINATED all the cropping bars from the math bitmapped images produced

$MATH_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.8;
$DISP_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.0;

In general, the higher $MATH_SCALE_FACTOR , the less the number of these bars. at 1.8, I do not see any. Please see this output I generated using the above settings

http://12000.org/my_courses/FULLERTON_COURSES/spring_2009/MAE_511_advanced_vibration/project/control_inverted_pendulum/index.htm

and click on the link that says HTML generated by latex2html. You see there are no more bars !

May be the above will give some l2h expert a hint where the problem could be?

thanks,

I think your problem is similar to:

[l2h] cropping bars --- problem persists :(
http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/latex2html/2003-February/002205.html


I have find an interesting observation which can give clue to some l2h expert where the problem is.

The number of those bars at the edge of bitmapped images is strongly correlated to the setting of the following 2 paramters on the l2hconf file

$MATH_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.6;
$DISP_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.2;

In particular, by fixing $MATH_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.6, and changing the $DISP_SCALE_FACTOR, I get different number of edge bar show up in the html I am working on as following (everything else is constant)

$DISP_SCALE_FACTOR=1.2,  number of bars =5
$DISP_SCALE_FACTOR=1.3,  number of bars =13
$DISP_SCALE_FACTOR=1.1,  number of bars =64

I also get different number of bars show up when I change MATH_SCALE_FACTOR from 1.6 to say 1.5

The least amount of bars I have found so far (but I did not try much more, getting tired of this) is

$MATH_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.6;
$DISP_SCALE_FACTOR = 1.2;

So, hopefully this gives someone clue to where the problem is. It is clearly in the image conversion/generation process.

And btw, where the bars show up, is random. i.e. when $DISP_SCALE_FACTOR=1.2 those 5 bars that showed up in that case, not all of them show up again when $DISP_SCALE_FACTOR=1.3.

Thank you,
