You could just go to Extensions->Render->LaTeX. In some versions of Inkscape, as explained here in Inkscape wiki, there used to be a 'built-in support for including a LaTeX formula'. The question is about putting LaTeX math inside Inkscape, not including vector graphics inside Latex! Not to mention that the OPs' question is about Windows, not Linux. Unfortunately, the earlier answers on this page are mostly irrelevant or outdated.

Just make sure you have installed a LaTeX distribution (preferably TinyTeX), Ghostscript, and pstoedit (pdf2svg), and you have added them all to your environment variable path as instructed here. Good news is that the built-in feature is back in Extensions > Render > Mathematics > LaTeX (pdflatex). I'd include any packages affecting the font in your document as the result is a SVG image of you TeX input, meaning that the font will not change if you decide to change your LaTeX-preamble at some point In the box that pops up type you LaTeX code just like you would in a normal document. This blog post solved it for me:Īfter that I was able to select Extensions->Textext from my Inkscape menu bar. Then I installed Pstoedit via the Ubuntu package managerĪfter that I was presented with an Error from some python modules. Installation instructions can be read here.įirst I placed the extension files in the ~/.config/inkscape/extensions folder. Installing it was a bit tricky for me (Inkscape 0.48). Get the Inkscape plugin textext from here.

This means after exporting and including the PDF in your document scaling your graphic will cause the text to scale too -> Possibly undesired effects No problem within Inkscape of course (objects can be edited by selecting them and using the Extensions->Textext menu item). Text becomes a SVG picture and can not be edited outside of Inkscape. Render the code directly in you Inkscape document, including line breaks etc. Tex code can be typed but is not rendered, hence you may need to adjust the x,y positioning values later in your document -> annoying.įurther, no line break is supported and you need to add a parbox or minipage or something later manually Use the PDF+LaTeX export built into Inkscape

There are two ways to include LaTeX input. Here an Inkscape answer (summarizing the comments and some additional info).
