LaTeX Setup

A few requirements are needed before LaTeX outputs can be generated. The first is to have a LaTeX engine installed. LaTeX distributions are largely free and available on many different operating systems. For installation recommendations, see the LaTeX Project page.

The second requirement is to have the tecplot_latex.mcr file correctly configured in your installation directory. Each LaTeX engine will come configured with different ways to parse commands. Details of how to configure it can be found in the tecplot_latex.mcr file. The default settings have been tested with MiKTeX and TeXLive engines. If using the default install options for MiKTeX, the amscls and zhmetrics packages will also need to be installed.

For information on how to load a custom tecplot_latex.mcr file, see Custom Files loaded on Startup.
