Inkscape+LaTeX SVG to LaTeX image

This page shows how to convert an SVG file x-il.svg from inkscape containing LaTeX special text into a LaTeX image.

If the base file name before the extension ends in "-il" the gxhconvert script assumes the file is an SVG file created by the inkscape program requiring LaTeX to process the texts.

If you want to convert the SVG file into a standalone *.tex file you can process using pdfLaTeX to create a standalone PDF file, see the [Inkscape+LaTeX SVG to LaTeX document] page instead.

Choice 1: Use gxhconvert

Procedure

gxhconvert -o=tex x-il.svg

See the [gxhconvert manual] for a full description of the gxhconvert script.

Further options

Option	Purpose
--eps	Produce *.eps/*.tex file pair for use with latex/dvixxx instead of the default *.pdf/*.tex file pair for use with pdflatex.
--svg-area=area	String. Area to export, one from: drawing to export just the area containing drawing elements, snap to enlarge the drawing area to the next snap grid points, page to export the entire page.
--svg-latex	Required, if the file name does not end in "-il" to indicate the texts must be processed by LaTeX.
