You need to check few times that it is aligned correctly. (1) select the text, adjust the alignment. Make sure to keep the master copy of your drawing updated in the default SVG format (only save a copy in the EPS+TEX format) to avoid data loss. For this, I type the text, with any required latex symbols as follows, and save a copy of the image as EPS+LaTeX. But I wanted the text to be rendered in LaTeX, such that it has uniform size and style, to match the rest of the document. You can simply add text, but that will get rendered with the image, resulting in any font/size you want. Text can be added in multiple ways using the Text tool. You can start drawing with Bezier Curve tool, organize the drawing by layers.etc You can create a grid, either rectangular or isometric, in File > Document Properties > Grid. Then set the Inkscape canvas size in File > Document Properties > Page > Custom Size.

Therefore, I learnt it to draw the two diagrams in the paper.įirst, find the column/text width of your LaTeX document with \the\columnwidth in points (1 pt = 1/72.27 inch). Inkscape is a professional vector graphics tool, a fully-functional, lightweight, free and open-source alternative to Adobe Illustrator.

Also, the size and style of their fonts do not match the rest of the LaTeX text. LEFT: one I drew with draw.io for our patent, RIGHT: one I drew with Inkscape for my paper
