I am preparing figures for a publication at the moment. Most of them are a mixture of data (produced in mat*ab\python) and a couple of explanatory cartoons.
I would like that Inkscape automatically updates my plots as I generate them. As far as I can see this is easily achievable if I save the plots into bitmaps (like png),
since on import Inkscape is so kind to ask if you want to embed or link the file. I would like to have the same option for pdfs and eps.
Have I missed this feature or is it just not there?

Short: How do I link eps/pdf files into a Inkscape project for dynamic update?


Sorry if this is a faq, due to the nature of the question it is fairly hard to use search function (or I am just not capable enough)?
Looking forward to for help

Hello:
Inkscape can link png or jpg images, but the same isn't possible with pdf's I think because of the SVG format.
If you want to link pdf or eps files, you can link them as hyperlinks, like in a web page, using html code embedded in the svg code. But the images of those pdfs or eps files won't appear as drawings

Thank you very much.
This was exactly the type of answer I was looking for.
