IguanaTeX Description
Since LaTeX is a Markup language that uses plain text, as opposed to other popular word processors out there that use formatted text, moving text directly from it to Microsoft Office can be quite difficult. Consequently, the same goes if you want to transfer LaTeX plain text directly into PowerPoint.
Requires Microsoft Office to work
To lend you a helping hand comes IguanaTeX, a PowerPoint addin that makes it simple for you to insert LaTeX equations into your presentations.
For the addin to work, evidently, you need to have the latest version of Microsoft Office installed on your computer and, subsequent to its installation, IguanaTeX is integrated into PowerPoint’s ribbon toolbar.
Simplistic and easy to work with
It can be accessed just as easily as any other PowerPoint feature, with a single mouse click on its dedicated tab. Working with IguanaTeX is quite easy as it comes with a straightforward and uncomplicated workflow.
In essence, you need to create a new LaTeX entry from IguanaTeX’s toolbar within the ribbon, and type the equation in the displayed window. If you are sure that your code is valid, simply click on the designated button to compile it.
Type the LaTeX code, generate images and insert them into your presentations
The addin generates images based on your entered LaTeX code, which can be later inserted into PowerPoint presentations. Note that if you need to change something in your equation, you can simply select the image and edit it within IguanaTeX’s tab.
As expected, the equation comes with the same properties as any image inserted into PowerPoint, meaning that you can easily animate, rotate, move and resize it.
Efficient tool for inserting LaTeX equations in PowerPoint
Taking all things into consideration, IguanaTeX is a very useful software solution for users who want to quickly and efficiently insert LaTeX equations in their PowerPoint presentations.
The addin is as easy to work with as it is unobtrusive, with its perfect integration into Microsoft’s PowerPoint.
