Hi all,

Is it possible to convert SVG to MetaPost?

Currently, I have Bash scripts in my workflow to invoke Inkscape (converting SVG to PDF). I don’t like to allow shell access to TeX.

If I can convert SVG to MetaPost, I will gladly Git-track MetaPost files instead of SVG files. That will do away with having to convert SVG into PDF (via Inkscape).

you can check pstoedit http://www.calvina.de/pstoedit/pstoedit.htm it can convert postscript to metapost. So svg->pdf->ps->mp seems to be possible. Of course, I am not sure if it fits in your workflow. -- luigi
