SVG support

SVG support

[Zeus Gómez Marmolejo]

Hi all,

I'm working with Inkscape and I would like to embed some figures 
directly in vector format. How do I do that??

I'm trying this:

\externalfigure[system][type=svg][scale=1000]

But a "dummy" image appears. Is there any svg support in context?!


Regards,
Zeus.

\usemodule[res-08] \setups[rl:manipulate]

\setupexternalfigures[conversion=pdf]

\starttext

\externalfigure[system.svg]

\stoptext

if you're lucky, it works, otherwise you need to look into how rlxtools 
works

If you can live without gradients and blur efects, direct PDF export works pretty well (inkscape-0.45.1).

ConTeXt calls ImageMagick to convert SVG to PDF first (there's no
native support for SVG in pdfTeX).

If you only have a few images, export (or convert) them to PDF -
that's the easiest way. If you have plenty of them, take a look at
Hans's suggestion.

before i look into this ... what version of inkscape? when i wrote the 
code ps was the only way that could be trusted (successive version of 
inkscape were broken etc)

the windows version performs rather random with pdf output, probably 
some internal messing around with quoting, it renders it useless

i've implemented a mechanism to process graphics 'kind of runtime' so that one 
can use for instance svg; think of proper caching of converted images, document 
dependent transformations, etc. For the svg conversion I use inkscape; of course 
it's all subjected to testing -)
