I recently started using org-mode in emacs for my paper writing needs. One problem I have is that when I render latex equation fragments, the resulting inline images are too small for me to read easily.

Is there a way to scale up the rendered images?

    You can try to modify the variable preview-scale-function. It is documented at gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/preview-latex/…

  • @KeksDose I have the problem with the preview in org-mode, so I'm pretty sure this is it (or he wouldn't call them fragments, inline, or mention org altogether).

  • @KeksDose Yeah, its just the preview inside emacs

  • @N.N. I couldn't find that variable in my installation, perhaps because I'm using Aquamacs on the Mac. Perhaps I should have mentioned that :P

I have this in my .emacs:

;; bigger latex fragment
(plist-put org-format-latex-options :scale 1.5)

    But this affects inline and display equations. Is there a way to set separate settings for inline and display equations?

  • For me, this results in an "Error: void-variable org-format-latex-options"

The answer from thisirs didn't work for me. The post is a bit old, so I guess it worked on an older version of org-mode. The following worked for me in Org mode version 9.1.9:

Pressing M-x customize-variable org-format-latex-options brings up the customization editor where I was able to set the scale to 1.5

This is what ended up in my .emacs file afterwards:

 '(org-format-latex-options
   (quote
    (:foreground default :background default :scale 1.5 :html-foreground "Black" :html-background "Transparent" :html-scale 1.0 :matchers
         ("begin" "$1" "$" "$$" "\\(" "\\["))))
