calc2tex

Computing values of formulas and displaying them in LaTeX.

Quickstart

For a complete documentation see the docs.

Requirements

• Python: 3.6+
• LaTeX-packages: siunitx, booktabs, amsmath

Install

pip install calc2tex

Example

Create a input.txt-file containing:

x; x_i; 12; m
y; y_{res};; x**2*3; m**2

Create a start.tex-file which includes:

in = Calc2tex("input.txt", "EN")
in.table()
Some text.
$$in.comp("y")$$

After running following python-script:

import calc2tex
calc2tex.process_tex("start.tex", "output.tex")

a new file output.tex is created which contains:

\begin{table}[htbp]
    \centering
    \caption{input values}
    \label{tab:input_val}
    \begin{tabular}{lcc}
        \toprule
        variable & value & unit\\
        \midrule
        $x_i$ & 12.0 & $\si{\meter}$\\ 
        \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}
Some text.
$$y_{res} =& x_i^{2}\cdot 3 = \SI{12.0}{\meter}^{2}\cdot 3 = \SI{432.0}{\meter\tothe{2}}$$

Issues

• calc2tex is currently in development, so changes will happen in the future.
• a/b/c will not be evaluated correctly, use: a/(b*c)
