* Package name : inkscape-textext Version : 0.4.3 Upstream Author : Pauli Virtanen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.elisanet.fi/ptvirtan/software/textext/ * License : BSD (declared in the textext.py file), also own LICENSE.txt file, which seems to be BSD compatible Programming Lang: Python Description : textext is an Inkscape extension allowing to put editable LaTeX text or formula into the Inkscape figure * Long description from the textext.py file: Textext is an extension for Inkscape_ that allows adding LaTeX-generated text objects to your SVG drawing. What's more, you can also *edit* these text objects after creating them. This brings some of the power of TeX typesetting to Inkscape. Textext was initially based on InkLaTeX_ written by Toru Araki, but is now rewritten. Thanks to Robert Szalai, Rafal Kolanski, Brian Clarke, and Florent Becker for contributions. .. note:: Unfortunately, the TeX input dialog is modal. That is, you cannot do anything else with Inkscape while you are composing the LaTeX text snippet. This is because I have not yet worked out whether it is possible to write asynchronous extensions for Inkscape. .. note:: Textext requires Pdflatex and one of the following - Pdf2svg_ - Pstoedit_ compiled with the ``plot-svg`` back-end - Pstoedit_ and Skconvert_ .. _Pstoedit: http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit .. _Skconvert: http://www.skencil.org/ .. _Pdf2svg: http://www.cityinthesky.co.uk/pdf2svg.html .. _Inkscape: http://www.inkscape.org/ .. _InkLaTeX: http://www.kono.cis.iwate-u.ac.jp/~arakit/inkscape/inklatex.html * Packaging suggestions: Textext consists (currently) from three files: textext.inx, textext.py and LICENSE.txt. Textext may be installed without packaging, by the user him/herself, just by putting the textext.inx and textext.py into the ~/.inkscape/extensions directory. Packaging should be relatively easy, the files: textext.inx and texttext.py should be installed into the /usra/share/inkscape/extensions directory, and LICENSE.txt should be (probably?) installed into /usr/share/doc/textext directory. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
