Re: [Inkscape-devel] LaTeX Export

Quoting Michael Forbes <miforbes@...734...>:

SVG uses cubic bezier curves but LaTeX only natively supports quadratic curves.

SVG supports both cubic and quadratic curves (the C and S versus the Q and T path operators). See sections 8.3.6 and 8.3.7 of the SVG 1.1 specification.

Inkscape does only support cubic beziers, but it will convert quadratic beziers to cubic if it encounters them. So you can pass the LaTeX quadratic beziers upstream and let Inkscape worry about the conversion.
