Sure. The point with the external template is that just the source
format is SVG. The template uses inkscape itself to export an PDF or PS
file without text and a tex file containing the text. Thus, you can use
figures with the respective document font. But inkscape needs to be
installed for that to work (for normal SVGs, you don't need the
template; the graphics inset will do).

Inkscape's internal format is an enhanced SVG that can be read directly
by most browsers. Inkscape has the capability of exporting an image to
an SVG without the extra-specification tags.

If the modern PDF standard can directly embed SVG, then probably it
wouldn't be too hard to show the SVG image in the LyX-created PDF,
without using Inkscape as a file converter. But if PDF can't directly
address embedded SVG, then Inkscape will indeed be needed by LyX as a
converter. It's easy to install free software.

By the way, a suggestion. If you're making diagrams with text, you
might find the text becoming too big or too small for the diagram in
your final output. If that happens to you, the solution is to convert
all text to curves before using the SVG. The upside of this is your SVG
looks in a browser just like it looked in Inkscape. The downside is
that the SVG gets much bigger, and it's no longer text-searcheable or
able to copy from.

Here's my shellscript to convert my SVG text to curves:

==
#!/bin/sh
orgname=$1
basename=`echo $orgname | sed -e's/\.[^.]*$//'`
extension=`echo $orgname | sed -e's/.*\.\([^.]*\)$/\1/'`
if test "$extension" != "svg"; then
echo "Must be extension svg, not $extension. Aborting."
exit 1
fi

newname=${basename}_nf.${extension}
echo Converting $orgname to $newname

if ! test -f $orgname; then
echo  "$orgname doesn't exist: Aborting."
exit 1
fi

inkscape --export-background=#ff \
 --export-text-to-path \
 --export-use-hints \ 
 --export-plain-svg=$newname $orgname 
gpicview $newname
==

No, Inkscape. It's a particular format that is only featured by that
program.

What OS? Inkscape does not yet work on OSX in beta1 (but should work in
2.3.xdev).

     I installed qtdeclaratives-dev, but the failure continues.

     However  find qglobal.h gives

/usr/include/qt4/Qt/qglobal.h
/usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qglobal.h
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore/qglobal.h

  This may explain why the problem occurs.


You are right, I have to look at this more closely. Another thing that I 
do here is to install pkg-config (which helps finding libraries). Do you 
have it?


This may explain why I do not experience the same problem.

1- add float figure.
2- add latex code by Ctrl+L , then past your tikz code inside it.

If nothing helps, you could try to configure with cmake.
(Since qt5 comes together with cmake config files, this may work)

This seems weird. Did you install also the xxx-dev packages needed to 
build a qt program? It looks like the build-essential package installs 
whatever is needed to build all debian packages, but it may be a bit too

Some people advise to install qtdeclarative5-dev, which installs

Cannot get Externam Material: Inkscape figure to work

2017-10-10 Thread racoon 
I just tried the new (experimental) Inkscape figure (or should it be SVG 
figure?)


However, my document failed to compile. On the first run LyX tells me 
that I need to define a converter in the Preferences. Would be good to 
tell me also which and how. I have checked the Embedded Objects manual 
on the feature but couldn't fin help on this. Also, I have Inkscape 
installed but apparently LyX did not auto detect it for the converter.


Maybe someone can give me a hint.
