This is a port of Ipe, Otfried Cheong's Interactive Picture Editor.
|
|
|
|
|
Ipe has a very nice integration of LaTeX text and PostScript drawings.
|
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of gotchas that potential installers should be aware of
|
|
|
|

|
|
1) Ipe needs a pseudocolor visual to work optimally. XFree86
|
|
|
|
|
currently only provides this at 8 bit colour depth. If you run Ipe at
|
|
|
|
|
a higher colour depth, it reverts to "monochrome mode", which is not
|
|
|
|
|
nearly as nice. This falling back to monochrome mode is my
|
|
|
|
|
modification, so direct any complaints to me first.

2) The previewing features sensitive to which versions of teTeX and ghostscript
|
|
|
|
|
are installed. They work with the versions listed in the Makefile, but
|
|
|
|
|
I had problems with earlier versions. Ipe is quite useable without the
|
|
|
|
|
preview features.
