Inkscape with LaTeX

Windows 7 (64 bits)

You can write and edit LaTeX equations directly in Inkscape with Textext extension. The last version of Inkscape needs some modifications to be compatible with the last version of Textext [1]. You can find a package that includes theses modifications, but you still need to install several prerequisite packages [2,4]. Therefore I recommend the full portable version bellow [3].

Inkscape 0.48 + Textext 0.4.3 full portable version : download (Windows 7  – 64 bits).
Inkscape 0.91 + Textext ?.?.? full portable version : download (Windows 7  – 64 bits). For this version, copy the preamble in .\share\inkscape\extensions\ relative to the main folder.

How to use: tutorial.
