I remember installing Ghostscript 9, I have these on my machine: /opt/local/share/ghostscript/9.05īut TeXShop I think uses TeX Live (I'm on version 2010), and its manual says:īecause of the importance of Perl and Ghostscript, TEX Live includes ‘hidden’ copies of these programs. You can customize the keyboard and mouse by editing one of the Inkscape configuration files. Hold down Shift and click the button to zoom out. Inkscape will zoom in towards the spot under your mouse cursor.

Now this thread suggests it might be a problem of Ghostscript. Position your mouse over the center of the diagram and press the mousewheel/middle button to zoom in. I can have a red-to-transparent gradient, the same thing happens (renders matte red in the final PDF).

Activating this button during any coying or moving carries the gradient with it to the new location. In the attached screenshot the figure is on the left side (showing the gradient), on the right side it is embedded into the poster (showing opaque white instead). Inkscape provides a toggle button to move the gradients along with the objects. The figures appear on colored column boxes. I am using the `baposter.cls' by Brian Amberg. They appear matte white on the final PDF output (after pdflatex). We can also alter these shapes through some transformations like moving, rotating, scaling, and skewing. These shape can be transformed with the help of solid colors, patterns, and color gradients. When embedding it in a LaTeX document, it has problems with gradients that go from opaque white to transparent. The Inkscape provides various vector shapes (squares, polygon, spirals, and 3D boxes) and text.

I have a figure created with Inkscape as SVG and exported as PDF.
