Hello:

I am trying to use an inkscape sketch inside a Latex document. I added some filters like guassian blur to add some shadows to my figure. The problem is that when I export the diagram into an eps file and use it inside Latex, the soft shadows just become hard-edged shadows. I have tried exporting it to a pdf as well, with the same results.

Is there a way I can use SVG directly in Latex (when I tried that, it said bounding box information not found). Because it seems to me that exporting it to some other format causes information loss.

Regards,

I don't know much about Latex, but your safest bet is to convert your SVG's to high-res bitmaps.

I myself do not know anything about latex, but this here may assist you in what you are trying to do. It looks as is you will need some other dependencies but should work for your purposes. Inkscape nabble also provided a discussion concerning this. Also I am not sure if this would suit your purpose, but in inkscape you could save you file as a .tex file, but like I said I know nothing about Latex.
