This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and
its relatives.
It is intended to produce anti-aliased screen-resolution images as fast
as is possible. The target audience is people who need to generate and
regenerate many images again and again. The primary target is the
preview-latex (X)Emacs package, a package to preview formulas from
within (X)Emacs. Yes, you get to see your formulas in the (X)Emacs
buffer, see <http://preview-latex.sf.net>.
Another example is WeBWorK, an internet-based method for delivering
homework problems to students over the internet, giving students
instant feedback as to whether or not their answers are correct, see
<http://webwork.math.rochester.edu>.
Other applications may also benefit, like web applications as
latex2html and WYSIWYG editors like LyX.
