Re: [Dvipng] Mssive PNGs generated with dvipng

[Paul Mantz]

Have you looked at the bottom of the graphic for for a little '1'?  I
bet what's happening is that you're not suppressing page numbering, so
it's rendering that as well, and not cropping to just the snippet of
text you want. be sure to put "\pagestyle{empty}" in your document to
keep it from rendering.

Best,
Paul
