Re: Latex rendered text in SVG images looks thick

The Textext plugin I use converts Tex code into an SVG path and inserts this path to the SVG/Inkscape document. The original Tex code is stored somewhere, so that it can be changed later, but the object itself is a path created with pdf2svg. If I convert this SVG to Tikz, it won't contain the ...

Re: Latex rendered text in SVG images looks thick

That sounds interesting, I might give it a try. However, I would have to remove all text and math elements from the SVG file first and later readd them to the Tikz file "by hand". I'm afraid this would also involve fiddling around a lot with text positions, which is what I wanted to avoid in the ...

Re: Latex rendered text in SVG images looks thick

Hi Stefan,

thanks for your reply. I'm aware of Tikz and I use it for plots (Pgfplots, actually). I know it's a very powerful and versatile tool and allows creating high quality drawings. But personally, I find it too time consuming and abstract for an efficient workflow. Additionally, I've almost ...

Latex rendered text in SVG images looks thick

Hi all,

I create SVG figures with Inkscape containing some Latex rendered text and math. This works quite well, in general. However, the Latex rendered text in the SVG images looks thicker/fatter than the normal running text. My workflow is

Create drawing with Inkscape
In Inkscape, insert Latex ...

Insert space between tick labels and axis in Pgfplots

Hi all,

I'd like to add some vertical space between the tick labels and the axis in a Pgfplots plot. Is this possible?

Background: I have two subfigures arranged next to each other (horizontally) using the subfig package. Both subfigures contain a Pgfplot. The left plot uses a logarithmic x axis ...

Instant Preview of Tikz/Pgfplots figures from external files

During writing the above post I came across the solution and thought I would just share it here in case anyone else has the same problem in the future. The trick is to close and reopen the LyX document after inserting the external file for the first time. In detail:


Create a figure float
Choose ...

Instant Preview of Tikz/Pgfplots figures from external files

Hi all, I think I best start with what I'm trying to achieve before describing my actual problem(s):

I would like to insert Tikz/Pgfplots figures stored in external files into my LyX document. The figures should be inside a figure float and an instant preview of the Pgfplots figure should be ...

Lyx/Biblatex/Biber does not print bibliography

I think the \bibliography command expects the bib file without the suffix .bib. So according to http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex you should either use

\bibliography{C:/Users/margret/Desktop/Dissertation/ibrary}

or

\addbibresource{C:/Users/margret/Desktop/Dissertation/ibrary.bib}

Also, I'm ...
