Documentation and installation

SVG2TikZ is now available on pypi so you can install it with if you want to use it with a command line. But the inkex package is not on pypi so you need first to add an extra url to repository:

export PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL=https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/40060814/packages/pypi/simple

Then you can install the package:

pip install svg2tikz

It is also true if you install the package from this repository.

All the informations to install (as an inkscape extension) and use SVG2TikZ can be found in our Documentation.

Changes, Bug fixes and Known Problems from the original

V1.2.0

• Adding option to set document unit input-unit and the output unit output-unit
• Now the tikz output used the unit define by output-unit
• Now the default behaviour will read the height of the svg and use the bottom left corner as reference
• This option can be disabled with --noreversey

V1.1.1

• Supporting svg encoded in utf-8
• Simple Symbol handling
• Simple Arrow handling

V1.1

• Publishing the package to Pypi
• Publishing the document to ReadTheDocs
• Fixing the translate error from matrix

V1.0

• Now images can also be exported to tikz
• Added a variable /def /globalscale to the output tikz document (standalone and tikz figure)
• /globalscale when changed will scale the tikzfigure by transforming the vector coordinates.
• /globalscale when changed will scale the tikzfigure by scaling the embedded images
• The path element was not exported in correct coordinates. This is fixed
• Added an entry to specify the path to be removed from absolute paths in the images. This is useful to work in a latex project directly

Known Problems

• Currently only images that are "linked" in svg are exported. Base64 embed is not yet supported so avoid choosing embed option
• Grouped elements will not work. So ungroup everything
