inkscape-figures 1.0.0

Script for managing inkscape figures

Inkscape figure manager.

Setup

Add the following code to the preamble of your LateX document.

\usepackage{import}
\usepackage{xifthen}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{transparent}

\newcommand{\incfig}[1]{%
    \def\svgwidth{\columnwidth}
    \import{./figures/}{#1.pdf_tex}
}
\pdfsuppresswarningpagegroup=1

This assumes the following directory structure:

master.tex
figures/
    figure1.pdf_tex
    figure1.svg
    figure1.pdf
    figure2.pdf_tex
    figure2.svg
    figure2.pdf

• Watch for figures: inkscape-figures watch.
• Creating a figure: inkscape-figures create 'title'. This uses ~/.config/inkscape-figures/template.svg as a template.
• Creating a figure in a specific folder: inkscape-figures create 'title' path/to/figures/.
• Select figure and edit it: inkscape-figures edit. This depends on rofi: sudo apt install rofi.
• Select figure in a specific and edit it: inkscape-figures edit /path/to/figures/.

Vim mappings

This uses the b:vimtex.root variable in vim to determine the location of the figures directory.

inoremap <C-f> <Esc>: silent exec '.!inkscape-figures create "'.getline('.').'" "'.b:vimtex.root.'/figures/"'<CR><CR>:w<CR>
nnoremap <C-f> : silent exec '!inkscape-figures edit "'.b:vimtex.root.'/figures/" > /dev/null 2>&1 &'<CR><CR>:redraw!<CR>
