Dear AucTeX developers,
I just started using AUCTeX on my Mac, and I noticed that the preview images
all seemed the wrong size. After browsing a bit through the source code, it
seems to me that the ghostscript resolution is calculated according to the
following formula (l.nnn indicates line numbers in git
854140a32d7918b1013726244c546e762cd80773):
preview-gs-resolution
=(l.445) 1/mag * scale [pts/ptl] * xres [pts/in]
=(l.1389, l.2986) 1/mag * (screen-font [pts] / latex-font [ptl]) *
(screen-width [px] / screen-width [in])
units are in brackets, pts = screen points, ptl = latex points, in = inches, px
= pixels
(screen-width is actually reported as pts on Mac, however the font sizes are
not just off by a factor of 2)
Thinking about the problem for two minutes suggested the following solution:
We would like a letter in the screen font and in the bitmap produced by GS to
be the same size in pixels.
The size in pixels of a screen letter is:
screen-font [px] = bsf [px/pts] * screen-font [pts]
where bsf is what is called “backing scale factor” on MacOS, which is just
pixels per screen point
The size in pixels of the output from GS is:
latex-font [px] = latex-font [ptl] * 1/72 [in/ptl] * preview-gs-resolution
[px/in]
Setting the two equal, we get
preview-gs-resolution = 72 [in/ptl] * bsf [px/pts] * screen-font [pts] /
latex-font [ptl] = 72 * bsf * scale
Comparing this to the first formula for preview-gs-resolution, it seems that
the original assumption was that
bsf = (screen-width [px] / screen-width [in]) / 72 = “physical" DPI [px/in] /
72
which at least on MacOS seems to no longer be the case.
Now, if all other UI toolkits report a physical DPI that leads to the correct
bsf, it might be better to report this directly to Aquamacs, but I thought you
guys might like to know about it anyway to check the situation with other
toolkits.
And here is a preview-get-geometry function that produces correct previews on
my Mac:
(defvar preview-backing-scale-factor 2.0
"Screen pixels per screen point, 2.0 for Macs with Retina displays")
(defun preview-get-geometry ()
"Transfer display geometry parameters from current display.
Returns list of scale, resolution and colors. Calculation
is done in current buffer."
(condition-case err
(let* ((bsf preview-backing-scale-factor)
(prf (if (boundp 'preview-resolution-factor)
preview-resolution-factor
1.0))
(geometry
(list (preview-hook-enquiry preview-scale-function)
(cons (* prf bsf 72) (* prf bsf 72))
(preview-get-colors)))
(preview-min-spec
(* bsf
(preview-inherited-face-attribute
'preview-reference-face :height 'default)
0.1)))
(setq preview-icon (preview-make-image 'preview-icon-specs)
preview-error-icon (preview-make-image
'preview-error-icon-specs)
preview-nonready-icon (preview-make-image
'preview-nonready-icon-specs))
geometry)
(error (error "Display geometry unavailable: %s"
(error-message-string err)))))
Best regards,
Bob
