Hello, good afternoon.

Is it possible to write latex text in QSpice?

Hi, Julio.

I’m not sure that I understand the question. Write Latex code to what, from where? Maybe you could clarify?

Hello, good evening.

I want to write some equations to ilustrate whats happening in simulation. Just for documentation, as commentaries in QSpice.

Right-click on the canvas or refer to the menu.

Hi, Julio.

As far as I know, QSpice doesn’t support LaTeX. You have a couple of options:

  • Enter individual elements as comments and move them around to position as desired. Tedious but can be edited in the schematic.
  • Use another program to create the equations. Snip the equation as a bitmap and insert into the schematic. To edit, repeat the process. Note that the pasted bitmap may not scale nicely for printing (it is, of course, a bitmap).
  • Copy the schematic to the clipboard, paste into another editor, and do the markups in that program. Now the markups can be edited but schematic changes will require repeating the process. Also, the schematic bitmap may not scale nicely in the editor.
  • Finally, you can print the schematic to a scalable format (PDF or SVG), import into another tool, and do the markups there. Again, the schematic changes require repeating the print/import but at least schematic elements will scale without pixelating.

A note about the last item: I’ve not tried PDF but there’s a built-in “print to PDF” Windows driver. For SVG, I’ve tried the open source ClawPDF tool (here) which provides an SVG printer driver. That can be imported to Inkscape for editing with reasonable results.

Hope that helps. Maybe someone else will have a better solution.

Hello, thank you. I really apreciate. I will install the svg driver, than I can do things with inkscape.

Hi jgardona,
If you plot QSPICE schematic to .pdf, you can open this .pdf file with Inkscape (right-click and select Inkscape). Delete the filename string at the bottom, lock schematic and add a layer for Latex formulas and comments. Add your equations. In Documents Properties, select Resize to content and save.

Best Regards
Bent
