Why wouldn't you just save as svg?


If we just talk about an illustration, I would save it as pdf and then 
include the pdf. However, if the illustration contains anything in text, 
then if I saved it as a pdf I would have the text in the font that 
inkscape used. I believe that this looks ugly: Anything in the finished 
document should be in the same font.


So if I use this pdf+latex format, the text will be rendered by LaTeX, 
at the positions specified by inkscape, but using the documents font. 
Also, you can then use LaTeX-Commands in your illustration, for example 
the math mode...


If anyone is interested: something similar can be done with gnuplot, 
using the epslatex-terminal (then you just need to convert the eps-file 
to pdf), and also with dia.

The files are used almost like a normal image. Instead of inserting 
the image (usually inside a float), you insert a child document, select 
the .tex-file, and switch to input instead of include. And then you 
do what I was told before, so that LyX knows where the pdf-file can be

 BTW: Same problem with gnuplot and the eps-latex-terminal... I definitely
 want to use this format, because then I will have all text in drawings and
 diagrams in the font used by the main document.

 Inkscape creates two files: a pdf-file containing the drawing, and a
 tex-file which adds all text to the drawing and also loads the pdf-file. LyX
 seems to ignore the pdf file, since it is not referenced anywhere in the
 LyX-File. As a result, I get an error: foo.pdf cannot be found.

 Trying to use \graphicspath to tell latex where to look for the pdf doesn't
 help: I would have to add an absolute path to the pdf, which is pointless if
 you work on two machines, one linux, one windows... Using a relative path
 doesn't work, because LyX ignores the pdf-file and simply doesn't copy it to
 the temp-folder.

 Is there any way to tell LyX that the pdf-file exists and needs to be
 copied to the temp-folder, so latex can find it?

 Did I miss anything?

Martin,
I had a similar problem and have to thank the latest version LyX 2.0.1 for
solving the issue. This problem occurs when your figure (both .pdf_tex and .pdf)
in a directory (most commonly a subdirectory). To cut it short, let us assume
that the two files are in a subdirectory ./figures (I would recommend to always
use one such name for the directory for the reason to follow). Go to
Tools-Preferences-Paths-TEXTINPUTS prefix: by default the current document
directory is included (the dot .). Add the subdirectory path by appending
;./figures (the semicolon ; is to separate the two paths). I believe this should
solve such issues in he future except in the case that your subdirectoery has a
different name (e.g. ./img) in which case also append ;./img.

Martin,
I had a similar problem and have to thank the latest version LyX 2.0.1 for
solving the issue. This problem occurs when your figure (both .pdf_tex and .pdf)
in a directory (most commonly a subdirectory). To cut it short, let us assume
that the two files are in a subdirectory ./figures (I would recommend to always
use one such name for the directory for the reason to follow). Go to
Tools-Preferences-Paths-TEXTINPUTS prefix: by default the current document
directory is included (the dot .). Add the subdirectory path by appending
;./figures (the semicolon ; is to separate the two paths). I believe this should
solve such issues in he future except in the case that your subdirectoery has a
different name (e.g. ./img) in which case also append ;./img.

Mukhtar

 Hello

 does anyone of you use Inkscape and the pdf-latex-format to create images
 for your documents?

 BTW: Same problem with gnuplot and the eps-latex-terminal... I definitely
 want to use this format, because then I will have all text in drawings and
 diagrams in the font used by the main document.

 Inkscape creates two files: a pdf-file containing the drawing, and a
 tex-file which adds all text to the drawing and also loads the pdf-file. LyX
 seems to ignore the pdf file, since it is not referenced anywhere in the
 LyX-File. As a result, I get an error: foo.pdf cannot be found.

 Trying to use \graphicspath to tell latex where to look for the pdf doesn't
 help: I would have to add an absolute path to the pdf, which is pointless if
 you work on two machines, one linux, one windows... Using a relative path
 doesn't work, because LyX ignores the pdf-file and simply doesn't copy it to
 the temp-folder.

 Is there any way to tell LyX that the pdf-file exists and needs to be
 copied to the temp-folder, so latex can find it?

 Did I miss anything?

 Thanks

Re: Lyx with Inkscape 0.48

2010-10-26 Thread Jacob Bishop 
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:

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.

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.

So I switched back to use 0.47 until today in Windows. In Ubuntu I
have no problems (of course need to modify textext.py)
