I'm trying to implement the instructions provided on the wiki site for
using inkscape to handle svg figures. I can't seem to get it to work
with Lyx 1.5. I have a feeling there is a little trick or two that I am
missing. Does someone have a verbose set of instructions on how to
implement inkscape, or how to use imagemagik in a similar fashion?
Hello,
i use the following:
1) the two attached python scripts in the users .\script directory
2) in the preferences file add:
#
# MISC SECTION ######################################
#
\path_prefix "<old path>;<path to Inkscape>"
#
# FORMATS SECTION ##########################
#
\format "svg" "svg" "Scalable Vector Graphics" "" "" "inkscape" "vector"
#
# CONVERTERS SECTION ##########################
#
\converter "svg" "eps" "python -tt $$s/scripts/svg2eps.py $$i $$o" ""
\converter "svg" "png" "python -tt $$s/scripts/svg2png.py $$i $$o" ""
3) reconfigure
