I use Lyx to creat documents and use Xfig for the figures in the documents.
I am wondering how well inkscape works with Lyx or Latex. In particular I would like to know if mathematical expressions can be added to a figure using latex notation and have latex ensure the proper display of the equation.
For the time being the best combination of a drawing tool in combination with LaTeX typesetting is Skencil together with the skLaTeX-plugin by Joel Biddier. With the skLaTeX-plugin you can do everything that LaTeX can; by means of pstoedit LaTeX-objects are inserted editable for postprocessing into the Skencil document. Skencil has SVG and bitmap export, too, so you can prepare nice LaTeX-objects for the internet.
Yours sincerely
