very small equations in published HTML

Roy — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 19:04:02 -0500

I've been using the 'publish' feature to create homework assignments for
calculus students and it mostly is great. The only problem is that the images
generated from the embedded Latex are just too small. Is there any way to
change a preference that would allow me to adjust this?

Better equation rendering is on our wishlist, too. As a
workaround, you can go hack the M-file to make the equations
larger.

1) >> edit publish
2) Search for for "fontsize".
3) Change the "22" immediately after to something larger.

I've tried this using R2007b on my Mac Powerbook without
success.

That might be due to the toolbox path cache, if you didn't update it. Since
PUBLISH is in a directory under $MATLAB/toolbox (where $MATLAB is your
MATLAB root directory), if you're using the toolbox path cache, you'll need
to "rehash toolboxcache" to update the cache to reflect the change to
PUBLISH.

Actually, the images themselves are cached. Once they're
generated, MATLAB won't generate them again. Do a "clear
functions" to be sure you pick up the new version, delete
the existing equation PNG-files, and try again.

Yep, that did the trick.

Thanks a lot!
