In gridmicrotex: Native 'LaTeX' Math Rendering for Grid Graphics

Build grid children from a MicroTeX layout data.frame

Description

Converts each row of the layout data.frame into the appropriate grid grob (pathGrob, segmentsGrob, rectGrob, textGrob, glyphGrob).

Usage

build_latex_children(
  layout_df,
  total_h,
  depth = 0,
  text_gp = NULL,
  render_mode = "typeface"
)

Arguments

layout_df	Data.frame returned by parse_latex_cpp().
total_h	Total height of the formula (height + depth) in bigpts.
depth	Depth below the baseline in bigpts (default 0).
text_gp	Optional gpar for text grobs (from \text{} blocks). Controls fontfamily and fontface.
render_mode	Character string: "path" or "typeface". In typeface mode, glyph records are rendered via glyphGrob.

Value
