| Hi
| 
|  
| 
| I'm trying to get a bitmap of a LaTeX equation. I have successfully used:
| 
|  
| 
| Convert -density 288 -trim test.dvi test.bmp
| 
|  
| 
| However, this gives me a bitmap which is far too large.
| 
|  
| 
| When I tried
| 
|  
| 
| Convert -density 288 -trim -resize 10% test.dvi test.bmp
| 
|  
| 
| All I get is a black bitmap.
| 
|  
| 
| Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it.

Do things in order...
   set density
   read DVI
   resize
   trim

For higher quality use a larger density, and resize smaller.

See IM Examples on postscript
  http://imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#postscript

It is equally applicable to DVI, which is just one step from postscript.
