An img tag, which can be used to retrievethe image, is then returned as the result.In[3]:=Out[3]=MSPFormat@ x + y, StandardFormDBy default, the images are in GIF format. This can be changed by specifying the format as a third argument.Here the image is stored in JPEG format.In[4]:=Out[4]=MSPFormat@ x + y, StandardForm, "JPEG"DIt is also possible, though rather strange, to get a text-based format type (for example OutputForm)rendered into an image.In[5]:=Out[5]=MSPFormat@ x + y, OutputForm, "GIF"DThe width that is used for typeset images is set by the variable $TypesetImageWidth.An alternative way to generate images is with the function MSPExportImage.
