Hi guys,
I'm back at it. I've had mixed success with Inkscape over the past few months - usually things worked, other times I found workarounds.
But today, it's like I ran into a wall again. I still often work with Inkscape to touch up gnuplot output or incorporate it in other designs. However, Inkscape can't open simple test-cases of gnuplot output right now.
I've reinstalled Inkscape - 0.47-3, released Novemeber 2009. I'm now running GhostScript 8.71. Gnuplot is at 4.4.0.
Basically, I set gnuplot to output an eps file. GSview open this file fine, and output looks reasonable. Inkscape crashes. I convert the eps file to pdf with epstopdf; output looks reasonable. Opening this with Inkscape causes Inkscape to crash. Convert the eps to pdf with inkscapec, no error is produced, and the resulting file does *not* crash Inkscape if I open it up to edit.
Can anyone explain this behavior? I guess I can try running every file that crashes Inkscape thorugh inkscapec, but this could become a real pain.
The attached files - test.plt is gnuplot commands, test.eps is gnuplot output, test.pdf is epstopdf output, test-inkscape.pdf is inkscapec output.
Thanks again.?
