IPETOIPE(1)

NAME
ipetoipe - Convert between Ipe file formats

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

DESCRIPTION

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.

-lastview
    create a Postscript/PDF page only for the last view of each Ipe page. This is for instance 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).

-nozip
    do not compress streams in PDF or Postscript output.

-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.

IPEDEBUG
    set this to 1 for debugging output.
