An extensible drawing editor with Latex text
Drawing editor for creating figures in PDF format.
Ipe supports making small figures for inclusion into LaTeX documents as well as making multi-page PDF presentations.
Ipe's main features are
- Entry of text as LaTeX source code. This makes it easy to enter mathematical expressions, and to reuse the LaTeX-macros of the main document. In the display text is displayed as it will appear in the figure.
- Produces pure PDF, including the text. Ipe converts the LaTeX-source to PDF when the file is saved.
- It is easy to align objects with respect to each other (for instance, to place a point on the intersection of two lines, or to draw a circle through three given points) using various snapping modes.
- Users can provide ipelets (Ipe plug-ins) to add functionality to Ipe. This way, Ipe can be extended for each task at hand.
- The text model is based on Unicode, and has been tested with Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.
