SVG2TikZ

SVG2TikZ, formally known as Inkscape2TikZ ,are a set of tools for converting SVG graphics to TikZ/PGF code. This project is licensed under the GNU GPL (see the LICENSE file).

Changes, Bug fixes and Known Problems from the original

• Now images can also be exported to tikz
• Added a variable /def /globalscale to the output tikz document (standalone and tikz figure)
• /globalscale when changed will scale the tikzfigure by transforming the vector coordinates.
• /globalscale when changed will scale the tikzfigure by scaling the embedded images
• The path element was not exported in correct coordinates. This is fixed
• Paths can now have start and end markers. Refer to this to know supported markers
• Added an entry to specify the path to be removed from absolute paths in the images. This is useful to work in a latex project directly

Supported markers from arrows.meta package of latex

In the above key:value pairs, the left side key is the name referred to in Inkscape and the right side value is the one referred to the markers in arrows.meta from latex

Known Problems

• Currently only images that are "linked" in svg are exported. Base64 embed is not yet supported so avoid choosing embed option
• Grouped elements will not work. So ungroup everything
• Transformation like rotation is not working

More documentation can be found in the docs/ directory. Also head over to wiki for some useful information when exporting your svg that contains images.
