Hello,
some new experiences related to the issue of inkscape's text import and export in EPS format! :-)
To use the SVN version, replace the contents of: share/inkscape/extensions/eps_input.inx with
Soo... after I changed that file, the psfrag part worked again, but the BBox is messed up. If I copy the BBox line directly from the original EPS file to the new one, everything is fine! The size of the resulting image is still slightly different than before the im/export, but I guess I can live with that. It might be adjustable by fiddling with pstoedit. I have to check that, or sed otherwise. Ah, and also the psfrag labels are displayed in inkscape at 10% of the real size (i.e., dots), but that might be a local problem with that font (Helvetica), as marking the label and changing it to something else gives a correct size. The resulting EPS has the correct psfrag label fontsize again, anyway. :-)
However, by now I'm kinda thinking I am going to program the labeling that I wanted to do manually into octave/gnuplot. I don't know what other disasters to expect with this whole conversion stuff...
pstoedit -f sk test_original.eps test_original.sk skconvert test_original.sk test_sk.svg This seems to produce a bit better svg, again with the text not converted to paths.
Yes, that also worked, except that the labels of the x-axis were slighty moved upwards, into the x-axis. :-( Therefore, not an option. (BBox was also wrong.)
That you could manually replace the text (paths) imported by Inkscape by text objects (real text). Obviously one of the above methods would be better.
Yes. :-)
Thanks a lot for your help! Greetings, David
