Hi Dave,
Many thanks for Your quick answer. I checked exporting the labels of selections, where the text export works as expected (SVG attached). For using Paraview SVG export in latex it would still be very nice to have the same export functionality for the cube axes. Should I reopen the former feature-request/fix or open a new one just to keep track in the system should the VTK implementation become stable?
Many thanks for Your help. Roman On 05/06/14 15:40, David Lonie wrote:
Hi Roman, Aha, the cube axis actors are still using vtkVectorText to render the text. vtkVectorText is a text source that produces polydata to forms the characters of the text string, and the actual text information is lost by the time the SVG exporter processes the actors. There was an effort in VTK to convert the cube axes to use vtkTextActor3D, which would allow proper text exporting, but this is disabled in ParaView, and I believe it is only experimental at this point. So unfortunately, this is the best it gets for that particular text source at the moment. Sorry for the misinformation earlier -- I thought you were referring to a ParaView text source, which should export as editable text.

I tried this option, neither disabling nor enabling "Render text as paths" creates an SVG with editable text for me with paraview 4.1.0. See e.g. attached SVGs which show simply a cone where I enabled "Show Axis". Opening theses with inkscape reveals that in both cases the text consist of triangles and not of text objects. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Many thanks for looking into this.

It does work with 4.1 to get the text exported into e.g. an SVG. However, the text is always rendered as paths (always consists of triangles). Is it also possible to have the text being exported as actual text-fields (like e.g. gnuplot does) that can be edited with the text-tool in e.g. inkscape? There is an checkbox in the export options "Render text as paths" (see http://www.kitware.com/blog/__home/post/508 <http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/508> ). It's enabled by default for portability, but disabling this option should do what you need.
