How to import SVG in OOo Writer

[robert kessler]

Hello,

I try to import SVG vector drawings in oowriter:

This is my svg file:

In inkscape it is displayed pretty good, see attachment nor4.png,

If I do oodraw file.svg, the objext is only displayed in black and the texts are missing, see attachment oodraw_nor4.png

If I do a Insert Picture from file the result is as in attachment oowriter_nor4.png,

What do I wrong? Is there a chance, that the display and print results are the
same in inkscape and oowriter?
Also I dont understand the role of the module svg-import-1.2.2.oxt, after installing this nothing has changed.

I would be glad I if would get some help or some information, why this is not so easy.

SVG is not supported by the vanilla compilation of OOo from http://openoffice.org. It has been added to several derivates though. I would consider this feature as experimental, not yeat finished, broken, you name it.

[robert kessler]

My question has been only if I make something wrong or if the performance is only thus as it is
and I can not improve something, because there is only a reduced count of objects ready for SVG...
Apperently something of SVG can be understood by oowriter, but not the complete stuff and
at all no text.
But I dont know about the limitations of SVG import in oowriter, and I hoped anybody could tell me
something about this.
I dont demand, that SVG import shall be perfect, because I know, that this is a difficult topic
because the complete SVG language is so huge.

Afterwards I found out that the EPS import in oowriter is much better and therefore the following
solution is sufficient for me:

Doing inkscape -E drawing.eps drawing.svg

and importing drawing.eps in oowriter shows satisfied results.
