WinFIG and LaTeX / Re: Special + Windows 7

Thanks for the help. Your suggestion did not quite work. What I observe is that, on the command line, if I first change the directory to my temp and then run latex, all works well. However, if I try to run latex from the miktex directory, giving the path to the texclip file, I get the same error that the aux file cannot be written. But the following batch file worked:

cd "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp"

latex -quiet texclip.tex

I saved it to miktex\bin. I hope that removing INFILE and OUTFILE should not cause much trouble. What are the values of these parameters, by the way?

Thanks!

The trouble with running latex oustide of winfig is if the figure has multiple special texts. In this case, if I close the figure and open it again, all special texts are shown the same, equal to the last dvi that was generated outside of winfig.

Sorry, that is not the solution. This only solved a problem I did not know I had. Changing the path allows WinFIG to render the latex formula, but WinFIG still cannot call latex. Essentially, what is happening in my system now is this: I set the characters to special, and then run latex on texclip.tex outside of WinFIG. Then the formulas are shown correctly.

Solution: make sure gswin is in the path. For some reason, this does not happen naturally in my Windows 7. Just change the path environment variable to include the path to gswin.

Thanks for the reply. I granted full control to all users to the Temp folder, but that did not work. I tried changing the latex command to runas /user:Administrador "latex -quiet -job-name OUTFILE INFILE", to make sure that latex was running under the correct user, but it seems that WinFIG did not recognize the command, as nothing happened, not even texclip.log was created. If I run latex from the command line, all works well, though. It seems that the problem arises when WinFIG calls latex.

Hi,

I guess I am having the same problem as Stops1143: essentially, I cannot render special texts using LaTeX on Windows 7. From what little I could gather from the posts in German, the problem is with administrator rights. In my machine, it seems that WinFIG can save to the Temp folder, but latex cannot. Do you know any solution to this?

Thanks.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the reply. That's precisely the window that does not work for me. All the values shown in my computer are zero, and I cannot enter any other value.

Bug Reports / Arrows Size

« on: November 19, 2009, 04:41:30 PM »

Hi,

I'm running WinFig version 4.0 final. I am trying to resize the arrows of a line, but the menu does not let me enter any value different than zero. My figure, as of right now, contains only the line with the arrow at one end.

Very minor: when drawing this line, I had the magnet turned on, to 1/1 grid. The magnet works fine for intermediate points in the line. However, when I right click to finish the line, WinFig seems to ingore the snapping, ending the line wherever the mouse is.

Thanks for the great program.
