Insert Latex to Inkscape in Windows

Tags:

inkscape

I have Windows 7 64 bit. I installed these with the given order:

  1. Miktex (Basic-miktex-2.9.4521.exe)
  2. Ghost script (gs905w32.exe)
  3. GSView (gsv50w32.exe)
  4. Pstoedit (pstoeditsetup_win32.exe)
  5. Inkscape (Inkscape-0.48.2-1-win32.exe)

However, I still am not able to see Extensions -> Render -> Latex Formula in Inkscape. What is missing?

How do I add LaTeX to Inkscape?

How to embed a LaTeX equation inside Inkscape. Recent versions of Inkscape (since 0.48?) have built-in support for including a LaTeX formula inside a drawing. It is on the menu bar: Extensions->Render->LaTeX Formula. Alternatively, you can use the textext extension.

How do I install Inkscape extensions?

Reviewed extensions can be installed directly from Inkscape's Extension Manager. To manually install a new extension, download and unpack the archive file. Copy the files into the directory listed at Edit > Preferences > System: User extensions. After a restart of Inkscape, the new extension will be available.

How do I install TexText in Inkscape?

For manual installation from this site: Download TexText-1.7. 0-Inkscape. zip and place its content (i.e. the folder textext with all its files inside) into the Inkscape extension directory. Or load the zip-file via Inkscape's extension manager (experimental).

Okay, after adding miktext, gs and pstoedit to the PATH; it worked fine.

For example, in order to add pstoedit to the path:

Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > PATH > Edit 

Add the following:

;C:\Program Files (x86)\pstoedit;

PS: Don't forget semi colons.

Good luck.
