Is there a way to convert line plots generated in ParaView to .tex? I want to have my plots in a tex document and want them to look very consistent with the document. And its a hustle to convert all text formatting to Times in plot when you have a lot of them.

Thanks!

Hello Qutadah !

I am not aware of a method to export to to .tex files but here are some suggestions:

- Most annotations accept Tex code if enclosed in `$...$`. So you can write your titles, text elements, etc. in “math mode” directly.
- When it comes to consistency, a good idea is to save your configurations (font name & size for example) as the default. This is achieved using the disk button which is appears in almost all the menus:

The option to save in math mode I am aleady using, but the option to save configuration I did not know about thanks a lot!

I really hope there will be a future addition to export plots as tex format, it would be much easier and more in line with the tex document.

Thank you !
