Struct Latex 

pub struct Latex {
    formula: String,
    size_pt: f32,
    position: Option<Position>,
    alignment: Alignment,
    inline: bool,
}

A LaTeX formula element that renders mathematical expressions using MicroTeX.

Examples

Basic usage:

use genpdfi_extended::elements;

let formula = elements::Latex::new(r#"E = mc^2"#, 12.0);

With alignment:

use genpdfi_extended::elements;
use genpdfi_extended::Alignment;

let formula = elements::Latex::new(r#"\[E = mc^2\]"#, 14.0)
    .with_alignment(Alignment::Center);

Fields

formula: String

The LaTeX formula source code

size_pt: f32

Font size in “pseudo” points (equivalent to text font size)

position: Option<Position>

Optional explicit position (overrides alignment)

alignment: Alignment

Horizontal alignment when not positioned explicitly

inline: bool

Whether to render inline (within text flow) or as a block

Implementations

impl Latex

pub fn new(formula: impl Into<String>, size_pt: f32) -> Self

Creates a new LaTeX formula element.

Arguments

• formula - The LaTeX source code to render
• size_pt - Font size in “pseudo” points (e.g., 12.0 for 12pt)

Example

use genpdfi_extended::elements;
let formula = elements::Latex::new(r#"x^2 + y^2 = z^2"#, 14.0);

pub fn with_position(self, position: Position) -> Self

Sets explicit positioning, overriding alignment.

pub fn with_alignment(self, alignment: Alignment) -> Self

Sets horizontal alignment (used when position is not explicitly set).

pub fn inline(self) -> Self

Marks this formula for inline rendering (integrated into text flow).

pub fn block(self) -> Self

Marks this formula for block rendering (on its own line).

fn render_to_scaled_svg(&self) -> Result<String, Error>

Renders the LaTeX formula to SVG using MicroTeX and applies scaling. Uses a global singleton MicroTeX instance (initialized only once).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Latex

fn clone(&self) -> Latex

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Element for Latex

fn render( &mut self, context: &Context, area: Area<'_>, style: Style, ) -> Result<RenderResult, Error>

Renders this element to the given area using the given style and font cache.

fn framed(self, line_style: impl Into<LineStyle>) -> FramedElement<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Draws a frame around this element using the given line style.

fn padded(self, padding: impl Into<Margins>) -> PaddedElement<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Adds a padding to this element.

fn styled(self, style: impl Into<Style>) -> StyledElement<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Sets the default style for this element and its children.
