But I don't know if you wil find there what you are looking for. Feel free to contribute

General Discussion / Re: Unable to export figures with Latex content
« Last post by Andreas on March 11, 2013, 11:32:24 PM »Did you look into the log file winfig.log? It's in c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\
Perhaps there is something in there.
The correct commands for a file named foo.fig would be first to create the graphics part:
fig2dev.exe" -L pdftex foo.fig foo.pdf
Then to create the LaTeX part:
fig2dev.exe" -L pdftex_t -p foo.pdf foo.fig foo.tex
Note the -p foo.pdf to add the overlay to the LaTeX.
The message about "Untested Windows version 6.2" comes, because Qt 4.8.3 is from 2011. But it should not actually prevent WinFIG or fig2dev from working. However, the next WinFIG will include a more recent version, either 4.8.4 or 5.0.1.

General Discussion / Unable to export figures with Latex content
« Last post by pierre on March 08, 2013, 05:44:00 PM »Hello,
I am unable to export files with Latex code in them. I am running Windows 8, and when I export a file using PdfTex it does not interpret the latex code and the final pdf is not generated. When I run fig2dev from the command prompt I get the following message:
C:\Users\Pierre>fig2dev
Qt: Untested Windows version 6.2 detected!
No graphics language specified.
Does this mean anything? Keep in mind I am running windows 8.

WinFIG and LaTeX / Re: Exported files corrupt/not working.
« Last post by Andreas on March 04, 2013, 08:15:42 PM »However, when exporting a file into LaTeX - it exports it yes, but when I try to open it in LaTeX and run it, LaTeX doesn't like it and won't produce the diagram from the code produced by WinFIG.
Did you look at the code? Does it look like valid LaTeX? What exactly is the error message from the LaTeX interpreter?
Quote
I have also tried exporting to pdf however when opening the pdf after saving it, adobe reader states the file is corrupt and cannot open it.
Please check the FAQ
Q: My exported files are empty and have 0 size.
I guess it's that.

WinFIG and LaTeX / Exported files corrupt/not working.
« Last post by Lewis18 on March 04, 2013, 05:05:39 PM »Hi there. I'm currently using LaTeX and WinFIG for my dissertation as I need a few diagrams and such. I love the program and have been able to make some very nice diagrams successfully and easily.
However, when exporting a file into LaTeX - it exports it yes, but when I try to open it in LaTeX and run it, LaTeX doesn't like it and won't produce the diagram from the code produced by WinFIG. I have also tried exporting to pdf however when opening the pdf after saving it, adobe reader states the file is corrupt and cannot open it.
I would really appreciate help soon as the date to hand in my dissertation is near and I'd really like to use WinFIG for my diagrams.
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit OS. In case that might help.
Cheers, Lewis.
