Is there any unix command which provides list of package which need to be included in document for using "chemfig" ? — user1952498, May 14 '13 at 06:03
include \RequirePackage[log]{snapshot} before \documentclass{article} to see dependencies of chemfig in .log file. See snapshot documentation. Have a look at for eg: cgnieder's answer using chemfig. Use options [convert,border=2] to standalone class and run pdflatex --shell-escape chem-file-example.tex to get .png.

Include \RequirePackage[log]{snapshot} before \documentclass{article} to see dependencies of chemfig in .log file. See snapshot documentation for more options.

Have a look at code example by cgnieder's answer using chemfig that uses chemfig and standalonepackage.

Use options [convert,border=2] to standalone class and run pdflatex --shell-escape chem-file-example.tex to get .png.Refer Martin Scharrer's answer to Better resolution of uploaded pictures Q at meta.tex.sx for full steps.
