MacOsX installer: “LaTeXDraw” is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image. You can either try this fix: https://osxdaily.com/2019/02/13/fix-app-damaged-cant-be-opened-trash-error-mac/ or use the binaries (instead of the installer): https://sourceforge.net/projects/latexdraw/files/latexdraw/4.0.0/
-
Characters not supported. Some languages are not fully supported yet (chinese, thai, etc.). To overcome this issue, you can use specific LaTeX packages to work with PDFLaTeX (see the discussion on this problem):
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\newcommand*{\CH}[1]{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}#1\end{CJK}}
\newcommand*{\JA}[1]{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{ipxm}#1\end{CJK}}
\newcommand*{\KO}[1]{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{mj}#1\end{CJK}}- On Linux, LaTeXDraw may not detect (the correct) LaTeX binaries. In fact it is not an issue of LaTeXDraw but a problem with your LaTeX installation. Your PATH is not up to date. See this discussion for a fix: https://github.com/latexdraw/latexdraw/issues/27#issuecomment-623427572
Before reporting a bug, please check the following elements:
-
Make sure you use the latest LaTeXDraw version.
-
Make sure that your LaTeX installation is up to date (in particular for export / compilation issues). In particular with MikTeX, run the update utilities to check that. We already faced errors solved by updating MikTeX.
-
Did it work with the previous release? Please download the previous version and check whether the problem was already here.
-
Do you have LaTeX and some required packages installed? The required packages are:
pstricks,pstricks-add,pst-grad,pst-plot,geometry,pst-tools. -
With MikTeX, check that the auto-install of missing packages is enable. MikTeX can install on-demand (during the compilation of a document) the missing packages. Go in the MikTeX preferences to check that this feature is enable (either 'yes' or 'ask me first'), as depicted by the following screenshot:
-
Did you look at "the current issues" section?
-
Does the problem still occur using the latest development version? (See the root readme file for links).
If you still have a problem, please do the following steps while reporting the bug:
-
Copy/paste in a bug report or on the forum the information provided in the "system" tab you can find here: "Help" menu -> "About LateXDraw" menu item -> "system" tab.
-
Provide either a scenario that I can execute to reproduce the problem, or an SVG document plus some instructions regarding the problem.
-
Be nice. You did not pay for the software and I develop it on my free time since more than one decade.
-
Report your bug on Github.
