DELAYBIND deprecation error

Hi,
unfortunately, I see the following error when trying to render the tex input:

 *** WARNING - the DELAYBIND command has been deprecated, and will be
               removed in the next version. For now you can restore
               the behaviour by using -dREALLYDEALYBIND but if you
               require continued use of this command you should contact

Support for Inkscape 1.0

With the release of the Inkscape 1.0 beta I wanted to start a discussion on what would be required for making this extension work with the new standalone OS X application. Also, are there fundamental changes introduced in 1.0 that require updates to this extension? I'm guessing yes?

So far, the 1.0 experience on OS X seems to be very smooth. It would be great to have this extremely useful extension available as well.

Python 3 port

Hi,

Since Python 2 is now officially dead, are there any plans to port this code to Python 3?

Edit: Looks like the answer is "yes", from PR #27

Change "texlive-base" to "texlive-latex-base" in README?

On Ubuntu 18.04, installing "textlive-base" apparently doesn't install pdflatex.

I'm guessing the same happens in other distros? I haven't checked this, but maybe the README file should be changed/updated?

Issues installing on platform running Python3 ( Text with Latex [GTK3] )

Attempting to solve some problems with installing on Linux x86_64 debian (Mint).

1. instructions don't seem to indicate that the package should be unzipped into the ~/.config/inkscape/extensions directory (eventually figured this out, and solved it)
2. the Extension, as delivered, is **not set up to run with Python3** (which is current, and so it seems that this Extension is not up to date)
3. Solved some installation problems by editing the install.sh file, changing "python" to "python3"
4. Multiple errors generated when calling the Extension within Inkscape; here are some generated from the latextext.py program:

/home/username/.config/inkscape/extensions/LaTeXText-master/extension/latextext.py:472: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
  if self.options.math and latex_string[0] is not '$':

I was able to fix some of these errors, but other persist (due to my poor python3 skills, I guess)

Only render text that belongs to a layer

Instead of rendering all the text in the document, I think it would be more useful if this extension rendered all the text found in a specified layer.

win32.exe

the installer is identified as win64.exe, are there any plans for a win32.exe version?

Compilation fails with "GUI framework cannot be initialized" pdflatex log report

I just upgraded to windows 10 and after reinstalling MikTex 2.9, Inkspace 0.92.4 and LaTeXText I'm unable to compile Latex script in Inkscape. After I click Apply on the LaTeXText window the following error window opens up and no new layer is created:
Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.

This is the log from LaTeXText :

Is this really a problem with MiKTeX? MiKTeX is working fine with Texmaker. Also I'm running the same versions of all of these programs on my laptop with windows 10 and don't have this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Joseph

0 text nodes were found.

Hello

I have problem with InkScape and LaTeXText. After I Run 'Extensions -> Render -> Text with Latex (GTK3)' new layer is created but its blank! If i mark option 'show log messages' i have message: 0 text nodes were found.

I have MikTex 2.9 installed on my windows 8.1

Runtime error on new files. Works with files where applied before

LaTexText worked fine just yesterday. It still does in the files I used it on yesterday.
Should I create a new drawing though and try to run it with the same settings as in the other files it does create a new layer but no text and I get the error message below. I also noticed, that should I copy paste an already Latex-transformed text object in my new drawing, it works perfectly fine again, with the settings presented down below that is. But would I change the font size for example, it again doesnt work.

Installed Inkscape 0.92.4 and MiKTeX 2.9

Use without admin rights

I am working on a PC without admin rights. Therefore, I have to limit the use to portable version of Inkscape (at least zipped version). Now the issue is how to install this extension manually without admin rights. I tried to extract individual files yet there is an issue:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "latextext_gtk3.py", line 6, in
import gi
ImportError: No module named gi"
Is there any possibility to overcome this issue without admin rights?

Running the extension does not render

When I try to run the extension the text is not rendered, but the new 'Rendered Latex' Layer is created. It does not matter if I use 'Text with LaTeX (GTK3)' or 'Text with LaTeX'.

My Installation:

• Windows 10 - 64 bit
• Inkscape 0.92.3
• LaTexText 0.1.1
• MiKTeX 2.9.6642

What I did:

• create new document
• create textobject with $\alpha$
• create new layer called 'Latex'
• move text to layer
• run extension with default options

Since there is no error message I am not sure if there is a bug or if I just set something up the wrong way. If you need any more information just let me know.

Grouping the result latex equation

Is it possible to group the resulting LaTeX equation? It is super inconvenient with separate symbols. For example, with rendering $x_l$, I got x and l, in order to move them, I have to manually select x and then l. It will be super convenient if they are grouped by default.

Windows rendering issue

Thanks for building this package, excited to get it working.

I am having an issue when I attempt to render the LaTeX layer:

Additionally, trying to use the other rendering option (Text with Latex) gives me a different error:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "latextext.py", line 13, in
from lxml import etree
ImportError: No module named lxml"

My MikTeX package and Inkscape are all up to date.

Preamble in Windows version crashes

Thanks for taking your time to work on this extension. I am on Windows 10, 64 bit running Inkscape 0.92.2.

In the LaTexText(GTK3) window, I can't seem to open the window/dialog to search for Preamble file directory, as it crashes instantly after clicking it.

tabs in latextext.py

tabs in lines 439-330

The extension runs, but the rendered latex layer doesn't contain anything.

Hi,

I was trying to use this extension. My OS is windows 10, and my inkscape is up to date. I downloaded the required files. However, the rendered latex layer doesn't present anything. Are there any suggestions on what might have gone wrong?

Thanks.

TexText is still alive

Hello,

I would like to comment that the Inkscape extension TexText is still alive and actively developed:

https://bitbucket.org/pitgarbe/textext

It would be nice if this can be noted in the readme. Since the approaches and goals (editing of one node in TexText and a bunch of nodes in LaTeXText) are different to some extend we do not competete.

Currently the 0.7 release is pending as a pull request (see https://bitbucket.org/jcwinkler/textext for a preview).

Anyway, maybe we can bundle our efforts? We are still using pstoedit and need to move to pdf2svg or even better command line Inkscape. I am just figuring out how to achive this seamlessly.

There is also the extension WriteText which is quite similar to TexText.

Thank you and regards.

A little problem

Hi, I'm Carlo from Italy. I'm a teacher.
I try to execute the LaTexText addon but Inkscape's dialog window reports an error:

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Having trouble installing in OpenSuse Tumbleweed (KDE)

Hi,

I can't get this extension to work in Tumbleweed, probably due to a missing package. But the naming scheme is quite different so I have no clue which package to install.
I have run the install.sh, my extension folder contains latextext_gtk3.inx, latextext_gtk3.py, latextext.py and latextext.pyc.
The extension appears in Inkscape but when I try to run it, a small windows opens and closes immediately afterwards.

I have installed the latest texlive distrubtion. Also I'm sure to have installed pdf2svg, python and python2-lxml and a whole bunch of other "python" and python3 packages. python-gi I'm not sure about, I can't find it in my package manager.

Thanks for your help.

/EDIT

I miraculously found the package in OpenSuse, it's called python2-gobject-Gdk.

It seems to be working now, however I get this warning upon running the rendering process, are these troublesome?:

(latextext_gtk3.py:16918): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:41:12.317: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:68:35: The style property GtkButton:child-displacement-x is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version

Support for TexLive?

Try as I might, I cannot get MikTeX to work on my system anymore. I use TexLive now. The LaTeXText extension is great. Is there any way I can point InkScape to pdfLatex in my TexLive install? Thanks in advance.

Error while using \text command inside math mode

Hi,

I get the following error message when I try to use the \text command inside math mode. The extension works otherwise:

Message:
Command "pdflatex c:\users\motion~1\appdata\local\temp\tmplpg5_z\tmp.tex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error" failed (code 1):

Also Inkscape crashes when I use "Text with Latex (GTK3)" instead of using "Text with Latex " only.

I am using Windows 10 and Inkscape 0.92.2 togeher with MikTex.

Extension is not added to inkscape 1.2

Hi,

I try to add the extension to inkscape 1.2 and run the installer, however, it is not shown in the list of extensions -> Render. Moreover, the folder C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\gtk-3.0\3.0.0\immodules is empty. How can I fix it?

Yours,
Valeria

Thank You!

This is not an issue. I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful library (and for a setup file which works on windows)! I remember struggling to install it the last time and now it does it all by itself.

To use this extension you need to put in Inkscape in English, otherwise, the extension does not work

Support display equations in $$ $$ or \[ \]

Thanks for this awesome project. Guess it's helping quite a lot of PhD students who don't have the time to write everything it TikZ!

It would be great to also support display-mode equations, detecting LaTeX code inside $$ $$ or [ ] environments

Text does not render

Hello,

when I try to render LaTeX code I get the following error message:

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Cheers
