Hi there,

still not quite working :/

here is my little testscript:

http://pastebin.mozilla.org/608410

and here some output:

While the original SVG (generated by Visual Paradigm UML)
http://matthiascoy.de/temp/test.original.svg

looks kind of awkward in Firefox, the "plain svg"

http://matthiascoy.de/temp/test.inkscape.plain.svg

looks very good. So I took that to generate PDF

http://matthiascoy.de/temp/test.inkscape.pdf

and, as you can see, it looks DIFFERENT. Now the PNG/EPS/PDF looks all the same, almost good, but the text inside those UML classes is a little to big.

Hopefully some knows what the problem is :/

Regards
        Matt

Hi again,

I found out, that these two files (or at least one of them) work:

    ~/.lyx/lyxrc.dist
    ~/.lyx/preferences

I put in them the following lines:

    \format "SVG" "svg" "svg" "" "inkview" "inkscape" "vector"
    \converter "SVG" "eps" "inkscape -F -D -z $$i --export-eps=$$o" ""
    \converter "SVG" "png" "inkscape -D -z $$i --export-png=$$o" ""
    \converter "SVG" "pdf" "inkscape -D -z $$i --export-pdf=$$o" ""

and the quality is much better. Now I have the problem, that the pictures are looking "strange".

This is how it should look (svg opened with inkscape):

This is how the PDF export shows it:

And here it doesn't matter if "lyx -e pdf[2-3]?", I've tried them all. What strange behaviour is this?

You probably want to add the option -T or --export-text-to-path to the inkscape parameter list.

With this option, the text is rendered as a part of the drawing. Without this option, the text uses the latex/postscript font and this might have a different size as shown in Inkscape. This is useful when you want to replace the text by latex text/math with psfrag.
