How to Use Output Formats in Python
Aspose.TeX FOSS for Python supports three output formats through interchangeable device classes: PDF via PdfDevice, DVI via DviDevice, and SVG via SvgDevice. Each device is passed as the second argument to TeXJob. PdfDevice and DviDevice return bytes from the run() call. SvgDevice stores per-page SVG data internally; retrieve it with get_all_pages() after run() returns.
Produce PDF
from aspose_tex import TeXJob, TeXOptions, PdfDevice, StringInputSource
pdf_bytes = TeXJob(StringInputSource("Hello!"), PdfDevice(), options=TeXOptions()).run()
with open("output.pdf", "wb") as f:
f.write(pdf_bytes)Produce SVG
from aspose_tex import TeXJob, TeXOptions, SvgDevice, StringInputSource
device = SvgDevice()
TeXJob(StringInputSource("Hello!"), device, options=TeXOptions()).run()
svg_pages = device.get_all_pages()
with open("page0.svg", "wb") as f:
f.write(svg_pages[0])Produce DVI
from aspose_tex import TeXJob, TeXOptions, DviDevice, StringInputSource
dvi_bytes = TeXJob(StringInputSource("Hello!"), DviDevice(), options=TeXOptions()).run()
with open("output.dvi", "wb") as f:
f.write(dvi_bytes)Summary
| Format | Device | Return value of run() | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
PdfDevice | bytes | Portable format | |
| DVI | DviDevice | bytes | Traditional TeX intermediate |
| SVG | SvgDevice | None | Pages via get_all_pages() |
