Export LaTeX with PGF/TikZ macros

could you please provide a reference to PGF and/or some samples

The PGF/TikZ macros and documents can be download from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/.
Some CPP function to write a figure using TikZ and PGF macros are available from the sourceforge page of the pgf project, in particular to convert "fig" to PGF (see http://pgf.cvs.sourceforge.net/pgf/fig2pgf/)
An other open source converter, coded in Java, is Eps2pgf (http://sourceforge.net/projects/eps2pgf/)
Dia (http://live.gnome.org/Dia/) includes a module to export in LaTeX with PGF macros.

Thanks for the additional information!

I have done some work on a PGF/TikZ exporter for Inkscape. It is not fully done yet, but it is in a usable state:

Cool - when you think it is sufficiently mature, ideally before 0.47
is out, please submit it as patch and we'll add it

Thanks bbyak. I will submit it when ready. Still too many limitations in the script's SVG interpretation...

Kjell,
   I am having a problem with your inkscape2tikz script. When I export to tikz the shapes are drawn upside down but then corrected by setting the yscale parameter to -1. Am I doing something wrong?
