Hi, I am trying to use a inkscape for creating an images to my presentation, which I am doing in latex. I have encountered following problem that I am unable to solve in a nice way. I have imported a bitmap image into the inkscape, and I need to crop it. I did it by convert it to the pattern (alt+i) and then I have create an intersection with box. This procedure works nice. The issue is that when I save it to encapsulated postscript, this "cropped" bitmap disappears. Is anybody knows why? Is there any method, how I can solve this? I have solve it with make a bitmap copy, but this solution is little bit awkward. I need an eps in order to produce my presentation from latex. Thanks for any suggestions. Tomas Pevny

EPS export ignores pattern fills, that's a known bug.

Probably not quite what you want, but I found a quick and dirty way to *seem* to crop images was to simply cover the unwanted bits with blank white rectanges.

Isn't GIMP a better choice for working with bitmap images?

When you need to crop and compose a bitmap with other elements, certainly not. Even with the EPS export bug, Inkscape is still more convenient because what you crop is not lost, it's just hidden. You can uncrop it, add or move any elements over or under it at any time.

It is great that you are using Inkscape and perhaps you already know what I am about to suggest but were looking for an easier way. It might be a whole lot easier if you were to use LaTeX directly to do the cropping: http://www.wfu.edu/~ekh/graphics/inlatex.html
