nil

Documentation

Whether to leave previews visible when they are opened.

If nil, then the TeX preview icon is used when the preview is opened. If non-nil, then the preview image remains visible. In either case, the TeX code appears either below or to the right of the displayed graphic.

If you enable this option, the preview image doesn't turn into construction sign temporarily when you edit the underlying LaTeX code and regenerate the preview; it is just replaced by updated image when ready. This behavior suppresses flicker in the appearance.
