Hi,
First of all, I really really love inkscape, and am using it for all my technical drawings. If it had support for easily adding text to objects, and connection points, it would be even better ... but I'm sure these things or similar things have already been requested.
I would like to include the attached inkscape .svg file in a latex document. Using the png might work, except that I can't use pdflatex because I am making slides with prosper (which uses eps and is therefore incompatible with pdflatex ...). So I am stuck with eps.
If I export it to eps, it renders badly in all viewers I've tried, whether in eps or pdf form (gsview, ggv, acroread, gpdf).
I can get it to look nice if I import a png into the gimp and flatten the layers in the image, and then export to eps. However, this (a) is somewhat painful (especially for tens of images), and (b) doesn't preserve the image perfectly.
Is there any way to get eps files out of inkscape that the viewers I've listed (preferably acroread) will display properly, without taking the svg->png->eps multi-application route?
Thanks, Chris
P.S. I have gotten nice eps files out of inkscape before, but only black and white ones without any transparency / alpha-channel stuff.
