See http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ------- The **svg** package provides an user‑interface for automated integration of SVG graphics created with ***Inkscape*** into LaTeX documents. Therefor the capabilities provided by ***Inkscape***—and its command line tool—are used to export the text within a SVG graphic to a separate file, which is then rendered by LaTeX. The two commands `\includesvg` and `\includeinkscape` are provided as central user‑interface, which are very similar to the `\includegraphics` command of the **graphicx** package. In addition, the package **svg-extract** extends the user‑interface of package **svg** in order to support the extraction of these graphics into independent files in different graphic formats, exactly as they are rendered within the LaTeX document. For the creation of these graphics in the well‑known formats PDF, EPS and PS, LaTeX and possibly conversion tools shipped with the most LaTeX distributions are used. If the graphics are required in other file formats, either ***ImageMagick*** or ***Ghostscript*** can be invoked.
