[Tex/LaTex] Inkscape and –shell-escape with TexStudio

svgtexstudio

My purpose is to show fig1.svg in latex. Here is my code:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{language=Matlab}
\lstset{tabsize=2}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{svg}

\begin{document}

\section{Introduction}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includesvg[width=140mm]{fig1}
\caption{Previous saturated output \label{overflow}}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

I got two error:

File `./fig1' not found. \includesvg[width=140mm]{fig1}
File `fig1.pdf_tex' not found. \includesvg[width=140mm]{fig1}

I followed this URL and everything is right except for

You need Inkscape on your path

You need to run the file with the –shell-escape option enabled

I use texstudio in ubuntu. So should I copy the .deb application on this path?!!! running which file with --shell-escape?

$ texstudio --shell-escap

still is the same!

Best Answer

A thing you should consider, apart from having the flag -shell-escape before the %.tex part, is to have TexStudio installed using apt-get, and not flatpak. If the latter, then the program will not be run at the environment where inkscape is installed. The same holds for inkscape.

Minted – How to Invoke LaTeX with the -shell-escape Flag in TeXStudio

First of all, TeXMakerX is now TeXStudio. If you are still running TeXMakerX then it is advised that you upgrade to the latest version of TeXStudio.

minted uses Pygments of Python for the fancy coloring schemes. You need to invoke the -shell-escape option in order for LaTeX to allow Pygments to be used.

In TeXStudio, click on the following menu

Options > Configure TeXStudio > Commands

and change

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

into

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape %.tex

Edit

As mentioned by tohecz in comment, it is better to make a separate command for this in TeXStudio for security reasons. You can do this by clicking

Options > Configure TeXStudio > Build

and in the User Commands box, click +Add button and add a name for your command in the first cell, say user:graphviz-pdflatex and the command txs:///pdflatex/[--shell-escape] in the second cell.

You can then see the command listed in the menu

Tools > User

Click on the command to run.

Page 2 of CTAN/info/svg-inkscape/InkscapePDFLaTeX.pdf suggests the alternative use of the import package. Assuming all three files (.PDF, .PDF_TEX, and .SVG) are in the same folder as chapter1.tex, then all you need is

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx,import}

\begin{document}
\input{chapter1/chapter1}
\end{document}

and

\chapter{test chapter}

\begin{figure}[h!]\centering
\import{chapter1/}{peeling_flow_constant_width.pdf_tex}
\end{figure}
