Using pdfadd to include a graphic into a tex document

Post by paulosousa »

Hello all,

I am trying to make a mathematical graph using http://www.xm1math.net/pdfadd/index.html
(mac os version). By the way, this app only exists on french?
So I think I must convert the graphic I got in a png image and then I can include it in my tex document. Is this true?

Best regards,
Paulo

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

With pdflatex, you can insert png-files, jpg-files and, most importantly, pdf-files. If your program can output vector images, stick with it.

But maybe, you don't want to loose your great TeX typesetting, within the plot and its annotations? Then pgfplots might be of interest for you.

You can have a look at pgfplots.net to see a few examples. Don't miss to viisit texample.net as well, showing you more general drawings.

Best regards
Johannes

EDIT: The program you are linking to is working with/based on LaTeX. Need to take a closer look, but i don't have the time right know. I'll come back on this.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
