Inkspace v0.48 supports inserting LaTex equations through the Extensions > Render > Latex Formula menu option. For this menu to appear on OSX however, you need to jump through a couple of hoops first. You will need to have lxml and pstoedit installed and configured properly. This can be a hassle on OSX. Here are the instructions which worked for me on OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Installing easy_install (required for lxml)
Installing easy_install >> sudo wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python Installing lxml >> sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" easy_install lxml Installing plotutils >> wget ftp://gnu.mirror.iweb.com/plotutils/plotutils-2.6.tar.gz >> tar -xzvf plotutils-2.6.tar.gz >> cd plotutils-2.6 >> ./configure --enable-libplotter >> make >> su <admin> >> sudo make install Installing pstoedit % Download via http://sourceforge.net/projects/pstoedit/files/pstoedit/3.62/pstoedit-3.62.tar.gz/download >> ./configure --with-libplot >> make >> su <admin> >> sudo make install
You can now try out the following under Extensions > Render > Latex Formula:
Latex formula: $\frac{1}{2}$
Additional packages (comma-separated): amsmath
Hopefully this works for you as well !
