feature request: TeX render frames

[Tom Berger]

Hi,

first of course I want to say thanks to all developers for such a wonderful program!

Since I often need to use mathematical formulas, I would very much love to have the ability to render TeX (LaTeX) formulas inside Inkscape. Scribus (http://www.scribus.net) uses a render frame, into which the user enters the LaTeX code and which renders to the correct appearance thru TeX and Ghostscript. SInce Scribus also is free software it may be possible that you just copy the code from there to implement a similar feature in Inkscape.

Thank you again and best regards
Tom

Hi,

sorry, no! I didn't know that such extensions exist! It's just what I needed!

Thank you very much!
