Has anyone gotten Lyx to work with figures exported from Inkscape using the PDF+LaTeX option? Thanks in advance On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 1:17 PM, Jacob Bishop <bishop.ja...@gmail.com>wrote: I have. This was one of the major reasons I went to 1.6.7 from older versions. It's great not to have to export figures manually in multiple formats each time you make a change, and all that headache. Without more information, it's difficult to provide much help to you. Basically, you have to install Inkscape, make sure it's in the path somewhere (either in the system path or the path prefix under tools->preferences->paths) so LyX can run the image conversion commands, and reconfigure LyX. There is also some help for this on the wiki at: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/UseInkscapeSVGImages Jacob So, after I sent the last message, I felt a little silly as I was realizing that you probably had Inkscape 0.47 working, but had trouble with inkscape 0.48. I gave only general Inkscape information in my last response. I have since gotten things to work with Inkscape 0.48 on my windows 7 machine. I have not tried as of yet on my linux box. I did have one hitch, and it had to do with the textext extension. To work around this issue, there are two things. You need to patch your inkscape python installation with something like this http://sourceforge.net/projects/timink/files/pygtk-2.16_for_inkscape-0.48.zip/downloadand you need to modify your textext.py file as per the instructions here: http://pascalschulthess.de/inkscape-and-textext-deprecation-warning/ As an additional reference, I got most of this information from here: http://bitbucket.org/pv/textext/issue/55/textext-using-inkscape048 After making those modifications, I had no trouble exporting Inkscape SVG graphics. I hope this helps. Jacob
