LaTeX support
by Peter on Tuesday 30/Jan/2007, @22:45

Does anybody know, if LaTeX support is planned for KmPlot or Kalzium (exporting molecules).

That would be really cool!

Kmplot would benefit from sharing some code to edit formulas with KFormula from KOffice. It's basically two different implementations that do the same thing. Probably also two different implementations to save them in various formats, parse them and possibly other stuff too.

PS. KFormula does have export to Latex even if I hear that there is a bug in it.

The bug appears to be that it is disabled.

That would only work for 2D-structures, right? Well, if OpenBabel gets this feature I would implement it in Kalzium, yes.

Yes,only for 2D-formulas. Do you know:

Some thing like that would be pretty cool.

Well, Kalzium would inherit this feature automatically if Open Babel had it.

So my best suggestion is to either push for this or find someone to implement it in Open Babel:
http://sf.net/projects/openbabel

The particular file format request looks like this:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1451051&group_id=40728&atid=447448

However, it lacks a lot of detail! If you have a few minutes to flesh out the request, including the "LaTeX" format you want (Fig?) and how this might work, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kmplot will export to an .eps file, and you can include that in a LaTeX file. That's really the best way to get graphics into a LaTeX file anyway.
