Hi Fred
I see - I think that idea has come up before. The main problem is that
Veusz's output is created by the Qt engine, so it's not in the right
format to be recognised by LaTeX. Maybe it would be possible to write a
Qt graphics engine which could be used by LaTeX, but I'm not sure how
hard that would be.
Best wishes

Hi Jeremy,
I wasn't suggesting to actually use LaTeX as part of veusz, more to export
files that LaTeX would process. inkscape can export a LaTeX file that is
processed by LaTeX containing all the text in the right position and also
includes a pdf (saved at the same time without the text) also put in the
right place.
The drawback is that the text in the GUI is LaTeX stuff which often uses a
lot more space than the final rendered text, making positioning an
iterative process. This also means that the GUI never shows the final
product, but that is very much in line with the LaTeX philosophy anyway!
;-)
It was an idea. So far I have not been limited by the capability of veusz
when it comes to LaTeX rendering.
Cheers,
Fred

Dear Fred
I have not used LaTeX as it is a massive dependency to include. I also
could not see an easy way of rendering its output in the program, unless
I write or include a PDF or DVI interpreter.
If anyone wants to work on this and has a good idea how to achieve it,
please let me know.
By the way, Veusz includes MathML support, so complex equations are
supported if they are converted from latex to mathml.
Cheers

Jeremy,
Just had a thought, which maybe has crossed many minds before,
including
yours! Why not actually using LaTeX to do the interpretation? This
would obviously only work for some of the exports (using perhaps a
mechanism similar to that of inkscape, currently buggy by the way).
Just my 2p.

have found this behaviour, that I am not sure to qualify as bug. Here

goes: When in the label of a graph I write Latex mathematical
commands,
they are interpreted correctly, but for the commands "\left" or
"\right", which left unchanged. Am I doing something wrong? (which is
probable) or did I discovered a feature/bug by change? To clarify my
problem, I attach an empty Veusz graph with problem in the Y axis.
Notice that the rest of the code is correctly interpreted, only the
command "\right" is left.
I'm afraid the problem is that the latex interpreter only supports a
very limited subset of latex. \left and \right aren't supported by the
interpreter.
