Description Reissner 2007-02-05 21:34:42 UTC

Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-default

Print to file does not merely produce a ps file 
but even an eps file. 
This could be useful (e.g. for latex integration) 
if the bounding box were correct. 
In fact it is much too large in all cases i tried.

There is no need to print to EPS (or PDF) in the current version (Applications 18.12).

KmPlot exports plots in EPS (bitmap, 96 dpi for web view) or SVG (vector graphics). Due to Qt limitations, every single SVG cannot be included into LaTeX using "svg" package. The problem arrives for the functions with high variation in the plot range (cannot be observed for "sin(x)" but breaks the results with "Dimension too large" for "x^5"). But every KmPlot's SVG plot can be converted into PDF using Inkscape flawlessly:

inkscape --export-pdf=MyFig.pdf MyFig.svg

The result of such conversion perfectly fits textbooks (vector graphics). Moreover, current versions of Inkscape (> 0.91) allow conversion SVG into LaTeX directly thus removing the problem of font consistency between the text and figures.

Closing the bug as WORKSFORME
