the windows version performs rather random with pdf output, probably
some internal messing around with quoting, it renders it useless

Re: [NTG-context] SVG support
I have version:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ inkscape --version
Inkscape 0.45.1 (Jul 26 2007)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
You should consider doing it that way if it works. The PDF final size
for the conversion is the same but the quality is much better. Now all
my final year project documentation is all vector

before i look into this ... what version of inkscape? when i wrote the

inkscape were broken etc)
I've modified the file "graphics/inkscape" (it's a ruby source code). At line 69
was:
resultpipe = "--without-gui --print=\"#{tmpfilename}\" 2#{logfile}"
and now:
resultpipe = "--without-gui --export-pdf=\"#{outfilename}\" 2#{logfile}"
After this, all these lines can be commented out:
# ghostscript = GhostScript.new(@logger)
#ghostscript.setvariable('inputfile',tmpfilename)
#ghostscript.setvariable('outputfile',outfilename)
#report("converting #{tmpfilename} to #{outfilename}")
# ghostscript.convert
#begin
#File.delete(tmpfilename)
#rescue
#end
The difference is that inkscape can export directly to pdf and the conversion is
done much better, with transparencies and all the stuff.
Also, I noticed that at first it didn't work for me because at line 44
(logfile=System.null), I don't know why but this strings is "/dev/null/" in my
system and when executing the command a message was echoed:
"sh: /dev/null/ is a directory" and nothing was produced. Now I've modified the
caller to pass explictly "/dev/null" as logfile (in pstopdf.rb source, line 401)
and now all is working perfectly.
I hope you can solve these little bugs.

Re: [NTG-context] SVG support
It works!! And can be scaled nicely... Thank you very much!!
The other thing I've tried is to move my figures to a subdirectory
called "figs/". Following the wiki instructions, in the preamble I
write:
\setupexternalfigures[conversion=pdf,directory={./figs}]
\starttext
\externalfigure[system.svg]
\stoptext
So, running "texexec --output=pdftex pfc.tex", somewhere in the output
it says:
figures : figure system.svg can not be found
I've tried the complete path, but nothing... any ideas?
Regards,
Zeus.

Re: [NTG-context] SVG support
If you can live without gradients and blur efects, direct PDF export works pretty well (inkscape-0.45.1).

ConTeXt calls ImageMagick to convert SVG to PDF first (there's no native support for SVG in pdfTeX). If you only have a few images, export (or convert) them to PDF - that's the easiest way. If you have plenty of them, take a look at Hans's suggestion.
