I'd like to use some figures made with InkScape in my PhD thesis. What is the best export option for LaTeX?

  1. Save as .pdf / .eps / .ps and attach the generated .tex file to my document. There was a problem (I did some research - I can't fix it) Latex doesn't recognize the text.

\ put (0.07383757.0.37217584) {\ color [rgb] {1,1,1} \ makebox (0,0) [lt] {\ lineheight {1.25} \ smash {\ begin {tabular} [t] {l} d $ d $ \ end {tabular}}}}%

Maybe there is a way to change that?

  1. Export as .png. The resolution of the diagram is unacceptable.

I don't have much time to learn TikZ but my figures are mostly simple diagrams, not sure it's worth learning.

  • Have you checked out the svg package? But I'm not sure I understand the problem you're having with the first option: exactly how are you exporting to PDF from inkscape? Do you not want just to embed the text in the PDF? – frabjous Jun 14 '22 at 04:19

    @frabjous save as copy -> .pdf -> checked: PDF + LaTeX: Omit text in PDF and create LaTeX file. and I use ````\input{name.pdf_tex}``` in figure – Chey Jun 14 '22 at 08:29

  • @Chey people use that method especially in order to have the text excluded so the text is recreated in the LaTeX with a font matching the document. If you want the text just as it is in Inkscape, you can export as a "normal" PDF with File > Export > Single Image > Choose PDF at the bottom, click export. But I'm glad the SVG package worked for you. – frabjous Jun 14 '22 at 13:48
  • package svg also provides option inkscapelatex=false to leave text as it is – mrpiggi Jun 16 '22 at 01:31

  • Would be nice if you could add a before/after comparision to your answer, e.g. by code and/or screenshots. – MS-SPO Jun 14 '22 at 12:54
  • I was using tex export file from inkscape and use \include{}. Now with svg package and TexText I can perform good quality figures – Chey Jun 17 '22 at 19:33
