Hello everyone,
Assume I have an org-mode file that contains the following:
----------------------
#+OPTIONS: tex:imagemagick
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[siunitx]{circuitikz}
* Test circuit
#+begin_lateX
\begin{circuitikz}[scale = 1.0] \draw
(0,0) node[anchor=east]{$V_{in} -$}
to[short, o-] (4,0)
to[V, v_=$V_{s}(t)$] (4,2)
to[L, l_=$L_m$] (2,2)
to[R, l_=3<\kilo\ohm>] (1,2) -- (0,2)
to[short, o-] (0,2)
node[anchor=east]{$V_{in} +$};
\end{circuitikz}
#+end_latex
--------------------
If my current emacs color-theme background is black, running
org-preview-latex-fragment on the latex block results in all
electrical-elements being invisible (only labels and lines are
visible). The only (poor) workaround I have for this is to add the
configuration option:
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \tikzset{every picture/.style={color=gray}}
Which means that I can barely see the picture when previewed in emacs,
and that it appears in gray on the exported PDF instead of black.
Is there any way that I can make it so that without a lot of "hacks" I
can make the previews appear as white-on-black, and the PDFs print
black on white? Would something need to change with how org-mode
handles previewing to make this possible?
Regards,
Mark

I have the following for when I use org-tree-slide-mode for
presentations, where my colour theme is light text on dark background:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results none
(setq org-format-latex-options '(:foreground "white" :background "black" :scale 3 :html-foreground "Black" :html-background "Transparent" :html-scale 1.0 :matchers ("begin" "$1" "$" "$$" "\\(" "\\["))
org-latex-create-formula-image-program 'imagemagick
org-tree-slide-heading-emphasis t
)
#+end_src
I think the key is the =org-format-latex-options= variable. I have no
idea whether this is used by the exporter or just for previewing LaTeX
in org.

Hi Eric,
I tried modifying org-format-latex-options (and disabling the global
'gray' TikZ setting I had previously had) like you have it, where
:foreground and :background are specified explicitly, but the result
is the same as when :foreground and :background are set to 'default'
-- the electrical components aren't visible.
It seems like what is needed is an extra key in
org-format-latex-options that allows one to add the equivalent of
#+LaTeX_HEADER: options (which only apply when (pre)viewing fragments
within emacs. Or is there some other way to make this work?
Regards,
Mark

Ok, I dug into the problem a little deeper, and it seems that it
really can be considered a bug in the circuitikz code -- in order to
remedy it for the present time, the circuitikz.code.tex file from this
package should be modified, and the line:
\ctikzset{color/.initial=black}
must be removed / commented-out.
Nonetheless, I do think that to make it easier for people to share
org-mode files that use packages that are in some way buggy, having a
way to specify #+LaTeX_HEADER options which only apply when generating
preview images would be useful, so that workarounds for bugginess
could be added on the org-mode side, instead of requiring all
collaborators to patch their buggy libraries / packages.
Regards,
Mark

You can remove offending packages with `org-export-before-parsing-hook'
if you don't want them to be used during the export process.

Yes, but I need the package which is buggy. If I were to remove it, I
couldn't preview latex fragements or export a PDF file.

If you need a package only in LaTeX fragments, you can customize
`org-format-latex-header'.
