## 🔧 Technical Implementation

### **Web-Based LaTeX Compilation**

```python
def _compile_latex_via_web_api(self, latex_code: str, filename: str) -> Optional[str]:
    """Compile LaTeX using web-based APIs."""
    api_url = "https://latex.vercel.app/api/v2"
    
    payload = {
        "code": latex_code,
        "format": "png",
        "quality": 300
    }
    
    response = requests.post(api_url, json=payload, timeout=30)
    # Returns compiled PNG image
```

### **Enhanced Local Compilation**

```python
def _compile_latex_to_image(self, latex_filepath: str) -> Optional[str]:
    """Enhanced compilation with multiple fallback methods."""
    
    # Try local compilation first
    if self.latex_available:
        # pdflatex compilation
        # Multiple PDF→PNG conversion methods
    
    # Fallback to web compilation
    web_result = self._compile_latex_via_web_api(latex_code, filename)
    return web_result
```

### **Dual Output Generation**

```python
def generate_dual_output_figure(self, invention_description: str) -> Dict:
    """Generate both description AND LaTeX code."""
    
    # Step 1: Generate detailed text description
    text_response = self.model.generate_content([text_prompt])
    detailed_description = text_response.text
    
    # Step 2: Generate LaTeX/TikZ code
    latex_response = self.model.generate_content([latex_prompt])
    latex_code = latex_response.text
    
    # Step 3: Try compilation
    compiled_image_path = self._compile_latex_to_image(latex_filepath)
    
    return {
        "text_description": detailed_description,
        "latex_code": latex_code,
        "compiled_image_path": compiled_image_path,
        # ... enhanced metadata
    }
```

## 🎯 Usage Examples

### **Example 1: Basic Dual Output**

```python
from gemini_image_generator import GeminiImageGenerator

generator = GeminiImageGenerator()

result = generator.generate_dual_output_figure(
    "A smart coffee mug with temperature control",
    "technical_diagram"
)

if result["success"]:
    print("📝 Description:", result["text_description"])
    print("🎨 LaTeX Code:", result["latex_code"][:200] + "...")
    if result["compiled_image_path"]:
        print("🖼️ Image:", result["compiled_image_path"])
```

### **Example 2: Patent Architect Integration**

```python
# This happens automatically in Patent Architect
integration_result = generator.integrate_with_patent_architect(
    "Modular vertical farming system with adaptive LED lighting"
)

# Returns enhanced content with:
# - Multiple figure descriptions
# - Multiple LaTeX code sets  
# - Compilation statistics
# - User guidance
```

### **Example 3: Custom Compilation**

```python
# Generate without compilation
result = generator.generate_dual_output_figure(invention, figure_type)

# Then compile manually with different options
if result["latex_code"]:
    # Option 1: Try web compilation
    web_image = generator._compile_latex_via_web_api(
        result["latex_code"], 
        "custom_figure"
    )
    
    # Option 2: Save for Overleaf
    with open("for_overleaf.tex", "w") as f:
        f.write(result["latex_code"])
```
