Module latex_images 

LaTeX-based image generation processor.

Port of LaTeXML::Post::LaTeXImages (539 lines of Perl). Base class for processors that generate images by running LaTeX + dvipng/dvips on extracted TeX fragments. Used by MathImages and PictureImages.

Pipeline:

1. Collect TeX fragments from document nodes via extractTeX()
2. Deduplicate: same TeX → same image (keyed by processor+type+tex)
3. Check cache for previously generated images
4. Generate a LaTeX document with all pending fragments
5. Run latex to produce DVI
6. Run dvipng/dvips/dvisvgm to produce individual images
7. Parse dimensions from LaTeX log (LXIMAGE lines)
8. Optionally convert/crop via ImageMagick
9. Store results in cache; set node attributes
