# This script converts an SVG image to something that pdflatex can process
# into high quality PDF.
# Usage:
# python svg2pdftex.py ${base}.svg ${base}.pdft
# This command generates
# ${base}.pdf the converted pdf file
# ${base}.pdft a tex file that can be included in your latex document
# using '\input{${base}.pdft}'
#
# Note:
# Do not use this command as
# python svg2pdftex.py file.svg file.pdf
# the real pdf file will be overwritten by a tex file named file.pdf.
