Hello, I committed a patch to optionally use preview.sty with usetex=True. This is to support a baseline alignment.
A summary of changes:
* added a get_text_width_height_descent() method in the TexManager
class, and modified the agg, ps and pdf backends to utilize this
method.
* added a new rc parameter, 'text.latex.preview'. If True,
preview.sty is used to generate dvi files and baseline information of
each dvi file is stored in a separate file.
TexManager.get_text_width_height_descent() method uses this
information.
* If text.latex.preview==False,
TexManager.get_text_width_height_descent() method uses dviread module
(this is what the pdf backend has been using), but the returned
descent value of the text is sometimes incorrect.
* added an example ("usetex_baseline_test.py" ). The output is
attached with this email.
If you have a preview.sty installed, please test this (set
"text.latex.preview=True" in you rc file) and report any problems.
Regards,
-JJ
