ipetoipe (1)

ipetoipe ( -pdf | -eps | -xml ) { options } input-file [ output-file ]

ipetoipe converts between the three Ipe file formats XML, PDF, and EPS. Options are:

-pdf

convert to PDF format

-eps

convert to EPS (encapsulated Postscript) format

-xml

convert to XML format

-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.

-pages from-to

restrict exporting to PDF to this page range. This implies the -export option.

-view page-view

only export this single view from the document. This implies the -export option.

-markedview

create a Postscript/PDF page only for the marked views of marked Ipe pages. This is for instance convenient for making handouts for slides used in a presentation. This implies the -export option.

-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).

-nozip

do not compress streams in PDF or Postscript output.

ipetoipe respects the following environment variables:

IPELATEXDIR

the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex.

IPEDEBUG

set this to 1 for debugging output.
