Re: Lots of temporary files when generating png files

[Anthony Rushforth]

@Aaron : Because if I use your command line I get this png : a full page

I want a cropped png, and I found the command line I use in the documentation (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage-big-page#lilypond-output-in-other-programs) :

To produce ‘PNG’ images;

lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts --png myfile.ly

I don't understand why it has to be "eps", but it's the only way I found... do you have another option to get cropped images ?

@David : I'm writing a program that generates html files including images with lilypond scores.

My first attempt was using "lilypond-book" but I need more control (I want to include midi file for example).

I will delete the remaining EPS file from my program.

Regards,

Anthony

Why use -dbackend=eps at all?  There seems to be some spurious options
in there.

I generate transparent PNGs all the time and never have to deal with
extra files.

Here is my command-line:

####
lilypond \
   -dresolution=288 \
   -dpixmap-format=pngalpha \
   --png \
   source.ly
####
