Emacs package for displaying context-sensitive preview frames at point. The frame updates dynamically with buffer position and hides when the buffer is deselected.
It relies on two helper packages that can be used separately as well:
Provides common interface with various improvement (to temporary file
creation/maintenance) for conversion of dvi previews to other formats like
png and svgm.
Utility for creating and managing temporary frames tied to a buffer.
Clone the repository and add to your load-path:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/repo")
(require 'preview-point)The default configuration assumes that dvisvgm is installed.
;; Minimum configuration to enable point-preview
(setq preview-image-type 'point-dvisvgm)
;; Configuration of preview for optimal behavior -- Optional
(setq
preview-leave-open-previews-visible t
preview-auto-cache-preamble t
preview-locating-previews-message nil)
;; Always use DVI to generate cleaner previews. Requires special handling of `hyperref`
(setq preview-LaTeX-command-replacements '(preview-LaTeX-disable-pdfoutput))
;; Customize behavior of point-preview
(setq preview-point-show-in 'buframe ;; or 'after-string for an inline preview intead.
preview-point-progress-indicators 'faces)
