I get the following error message when trying to get a png from a tikzipicture.

Error message

This is my code simplifyed code (without the actual data)

\documentclass[convert]{standalone}

\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
    xlabel=Number of doctors, % label x axis
    ylabel=Number of MPA, % label y axis
    axis lines=left, %set the position of the axes
legend style={at={(1,1)},anchor=north east},
]
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Thanks for any help!!

  • Perhaps this should be tagged [tag:miktex]? At any rate, the MWE compiles without trouble for me, but then there is no conversion to PNG involved. (And as a Mac user, I am unlikely to be able to help anyhow.) – Harald Hanche-Olsen Jun 05 '18 at 08:22
  • You need to check which external convert application you have. Is imagemagick installed? And if yes how can you call convert? With the old convert or with the new magick convert? Try out convert --help on a command line to find out. In my case I have the old convert and then so I had to use \documentclass[convert={convertexe=convert}]{standalone} – Ulrike Fischer Jun 05 '18 at 08:35
  • Thanks for your answer. I will try out if it works. – Renata Josi Jun 05 '18 at 09:18

  • @UlrikeFischer Shell escape works now. But I get the following error message: standalone Warning: Conversion unsuccessful! (standalone) There might be something wrong with your (standalone) conversation software or the file permissions!] the following solution did not help: (tex.stackexchange.com/questions/205490/…) Any ideas? Add:this was my mwe: [\documentclass[tikz,convert]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (0,0) rectangle (2,1) node [midway] {Example}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}] – Renata Josi Jun 08 '18 at 07:45
  • Did you check which external convert application you have? Did you try the key convert={convertexe=convert} ? – Ulrike Fischer Jun 08 '18 at 07:52
  • SOLVED: \documentclass[tikz,convert={density=300,outext=.png}]{standalone} used this and installed Ghostscript. Thanks a lot! – Renata Josi Jun 08 '18 at 13:29
