# Features

latex-dependency-scanner is a package to detect all required files to compile a LaTeX

document.

# Installation

latex-dependency-scanner is available on

[PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/latex-dependency-scanner) and

[Anaconda.org](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/latex-dependency-scanner). Install it

with

```console

$ pip install latex-dependency-scanner

# or

$ conda install -c conda-forge latex-dependency-scanner

```

# Usage

The package contains two functions.

## Scan

`scan()` accepts a path-like object or a list of path-like objects which point to `.tex`

documents. The return is a collection of paths related to this document.

```python

import latex_dependency_scanner as lds

paths = lds.scan("document.tex")

```

For dependencies which cannot be found and which have no file extension (like graphics

in `\includegraphics`), all possible candidates are returned.

## PDF

`compile_pdf()` allows to conveniently generate PDFs with Python. The function is mainly

used for validating test cases.

```python

import latex_dependency_scanner as lds

lds.compile_pdf("document.tex", "document.pdf")

```
