Did you try \begin{center} ... \end{center} around your formula?

Correct. Maybe it's a bit too hidden, but there are many ways to export files and "integrate" with LaTeX workflows.

General Discussion / Re: another problem exporting to pdf
« on: September 12, 2011, 08:30:14 PM »
ok, WinFIG assumes gswin32c.exe to be located in "C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.04\bin"
Does that folder exist and is this the correct path to gswin32c.exe? Sometimes WinFIG is misled by stale registry entries that are left from previous GS installations that were not properly removed.
For such cases (and to provide an easy fix without the need of fiddling with registry entries) you can also configure the path in the "Preferences" dialog on the "Other" tab. Uncheck "Automatically determine path..." and enter the full path including gswin32c.exe.

Did you install GhostScript as mentioned in the readme.txt and on the "Requirements" page?

You are exporting to JPEG, so you need a GhostScript installation as described in the readme.txt. Did you install GhostScript?
You can check the "About" dialog to see if and where WinFIG could find GhostScript.
If you already installed GhostScript and it still doesn't work, perhaps your registry is messed with entries from obsolete installations:
Read here about how WinFIG determines which GS location to assume: http://www.schmidt-web-berlin.de/winfig_forum/index.php?topic=25.0
Remove all obsolete values.
If you don't want to do that, you could alternatively configure WinFIG to use a specific GhostScript installation by specifiyng the path to gswin32c.exe in the "Other" tab of the preferences dialog.
You could furthermore call "fig2dev.exe -L jpeg inputfile.fig output.jpeg" in the "Command Prompt". This will show you any error messages. Also check the logfile winfig.log in the WinFIG folder for error messages.
By the way, JPEG is not the recommended format for drawings, because it is not loss-less and therefore not suitable for fine structures. Use PNG instead.

WinFIG and LaTeX / Re: include eps in winfig
« on: May 24, 2011, 12:13:39 PM »Benötigt winfig den Pfad zur "ghostscript".exe explizit? In der Pfadvariablen des Betriebssystems ist dieser enthalten.
Der wird aber nicht bei der GhostScript-Installation gesetzt, sondern muß manuell angelegt werden. Das Problem ist, daß viele Anwender nicht wissen, wie man Pfadvariablen setzt und ich es nicht jedem Einzelnen erklären kann. WinFIG versucht deshalb zuerst, den Pfad aus dem Registry-Eintrag von GS zu ermitteln. Das gswin32c.exe wird dann mit komplettem Pfad aufgerufen. Ein Eintrag in der PATH-Variable ist dann nicht nötig.
Wenn es über den Registry-Eintrag nicht klappt, wird der Aufruf ohne Pfad gemacht. Der sollte dann klappen, wenn die Pfadvariable gesetzt ist.

Hello,
perhaps you have some old registry keys left from an obsolete GS installation. It could be for instance
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AFPL Ghostscript
But recently another user had a simlar problem where the registry was obviously ok. For such cases the next release will allow users to specify their GS location in the settings dialogue.
Until then you can still export to PostScript and use GhostScript to convert to PDF. That's actually what WinFIG is doing. If you use GSView as a front end, it's very easy.
btw, it's always helpful for me to know the system environment (XP, Vista, Win7 etc.)

Feature Requests / Re: export tiff
« on: October 12, 2010, 08:43:05 PM »
WinFIG is using the Qt framework and can load and export image formats supported by Qt. I would have to check in the Qt documentation, but I think TIFF is not supported. However, I recommend JPEG for photographs and PNG for schematic or black&white pictures. That should cover all needs.

I just uploaded version 4.6.2, which - I think - solves the problem by using the modified command syntax.
