LaTeX formula rendering. Which pstoedit?
Thanks for the great release. I am particularly excited about
Effects > Render > LaTeX formula
However, it silently fails for me with the autopackage release on Ubuntu (Dapper Drake).
The DVI file and PS files are correctly compiled in '/tmp'. They preview in evince, but are never inserted. If I try to import the resultant PS file, inkscape reports the following error.
Failed to load the requested file /tmp/inkscape-latex.tmp.ps
I presume there is a small inconsistency between the versions of pstoedit. I see the following version string.
pstoedit: version 3.42 / DLL interface 108 (build Jan 19 2006 - release build) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2005 Wolfgang Glunz
What further steps can I take to track this down?
Thanks again,
Andrew
Heh.
I just noticed this option in the menu with this mail. This seems a really interesting feature. For me it doesn't work as well:
(inkscape:28030): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_utf8_collate: assertion `str2 != NULL' failed Extension::Script: Unknown error for pclose : Success
What might be happening? THis is a manually compiled version of inkscape. I have pstoedit 3.40 installed on my slackware.
Cheers Alberto

I am not sure whether it is relevant, but pstoedit does not convert to svg if it was not compiled with plotutils. Unfortunately, it is the case here on Fedora Core 5.

Hi everybody!
I was trying to use the shiny new 0.44 release with an intuos 3 tablet, but I still don´t understand quite well how the input devices config. dialog works, the default options make swap buttons 2 and 3 of the pen (my system´s config), so I assume that inkscape is "creating" its own options for the device, wich I don´t know how to change (the five numbers in the input devices dialog) so that inkscape use the same options as the whole system... the button 1 (left click) works ok... the button 3 (right click) works ok... but when I use the button 2 (center click and DRAG!!!) it works as if I just left it pressed for ever... so inkscape drags and drags and drags the canvas... to stop it, I have to close inkscape!!!
If there is any way so that inkscape respect my system config... or other alternative to pass this bug or config the tablet better please let me know.
Thanks.

Anyway, I think inkscape should give any interesting error message. Also, during configure/make it should suggest the installation of the required tools to make its options to work.

The same error appears on OpenSuse 10.1 with pstoedit 3.44.
Best,

The script uses pstoedit which only produces svg output with the non-free svg plugin. I submitted a version of the script that uses skconvert (from skencil). I haven't tested it with the final version of 0.44 but it should work if you have skencil installed. To use, replace eqtexsvg.py by the attached file.

Yet another vector drawing program. Oh well...

Thanks! I will try that today.

There is a trick that I have used successfully:
* produce whatever you want with LaTeX and then output it as ps, eps or pdf; * use the following sequence of commands:
pstoedit -page 1 -dt -psarg "-r9600x9600" -f sk integral.eps integral.sk skconvert integral.sk integral.svg
These steps overcome the well-known problem of pstoedit that does not convert to svg directly on some installations. Let me finally remark that I am not sure whether the trick works on MS Windows; it is only tested on Linux.

An example is attached.
