Using latexify-py to Generate LaTeX Mathematical Formulas in Python

latexify-py is a Python library that automatically generates LaTeX mathematical formulas from Python functions, leveraging LaTeX's powerful typesetting capabilities for complex equations.

Installation

<code>pip install latexify-py</code>

After installation you can verify the version:

<code>import math
import numpy as np  # optional
import latexify

latexify.__version__</code>

The version output is '0.4.2' .

Basic usage example

Define a function that solves a quadratic equation and call it:

<code>def solve(a, b, c):
    return (-b + math.sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)) / (2*a)

print(solve(1, 4, 3))
print(solve)</code>

Output:

<code>-1.0
&lt;function solve at 0x1124f28e0&gt;</code>

Applying the @latexify.function decorator converts the function into a LaTeX expression:

<code>@latexify.function
def solve(a, b, c):
    return (-b + math.sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)) / (2*a)

print(solve(1, 4, 3))
print(solve)</code>

Output now includes the LaTeX formula:

<code>-1.0
\mathrm{solve}(a, b, c) = \frac{-b + \sqrt{ b^{2} - 4 a c }}{2 a}</code>

You can also use the @latexify.expression decorator for similar results, and the library supports many other examples, as shown in the accompanying screenshots.
