IPETOIPE

NAME

ipetoipe − Convert between Ipe file formats

SYNOPSIS

ipetoipe ( -pdf | -eps | -ps | -xml ) [ -export ] [ -from page ] [ -to page ] [ -noshading ] [ -lastview ] input-file output-file

DESCRIPTION

ipetoipe converts between the various Ipe file formats.

-export

do not include Ipe markup in the output file.
Warning: this means that Ipe will not be able to read the resulting output file.

-from and -to

restrict exporting to PDF to this page range. This only works in conjunction with the -export option.

-noshading

do not shade the background of PDF output (if a shading has been defined in the document’s style sheet).

-lastview

create a Postscript/PDF page only for the last view of each Ipe page. This is often convenient for making handouts for slides used in a presentation.

-runlatex

run Latex even for XML output. This has the effect of including the dimensions of each text object in the XML file.

-nocolor

do not use any color commands in Postscript output. This is useful if you are preparing a manuscript for publication where the publisher checks that the figures are grayscale only. Note that this option doesn’t actually verify that the figure contains no color (a figure using color processed with this option will cause a Postscript error when displayed).

-styleupdate

update all style sheets in the document from external style sheet files in the current directory. The external file’s name must match the name of the style sheet and have the extension ’isy’.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

ipetoipe respects the following environment variables:
IPELATEXDIR

the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex.

IPEPDFLATEX

the name of the Pdflatex executable. If Pdflatex is on your path, the value pdflatex is sufficient.

TEXINPUTS

when running Pdflatex, Ipe prepends both the current directory (where Ipe was started) as the directory containing the current document to the TEXINPUTS environment variable.
