Inkscape: Vector Graphics For Linux

Submitted by stro on Sat, 2005-02-26 12:43. Inkscape

In this story we'll do a quick primer on how you can get up to speed on Inkscape. Along the way, we'll explore situations where a vector based graphic would be better suited for a job than a raster based picture. In spite of not being an XML or web development expert I think SVG will be important in the future. Read on and you'll see why.

EPS file not working for me

Submitted by Anonymous George on Wed, 2005-03-16 19:23.

I have the latest CVS-head version (as of right now) and have successfully saved my graphic, which has non-transparent gradients, to an EPS file. When I open this EPS file in other viewers, everything is just fine. But then I try to use it with LaTeX. I used LaTeX 2e, which creates a DVI file. Then I used dvipdfm to create the PDF file. When I open the pdf file in a viewer (both Ghostscript 7 and Acrobat Reader 7), I get errors, saying that there was an error on the page with the graphic.

I have to assume that at least Acrobat reader 7 (the latest) can understand PostScript level 3, so what is causing my problem? Is it a problem with the EPS file (i.e. a problem with Inkscape)? Or is it because I'm going to a DVI file first? If it's the latter, what is another way to create a PDF file (I also need to use bibtex) from a .tex file while including EPS graphics?
