In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4af4c76f-4369-4803-b0fa-bff3b4276c9c@www.fastmail.com> Can you be a bit more specific what you would like the ipelet to do? One could, for instance, draw a quadrilateral (with the vertical front edge and the two points "at infinity"), and then the ipelet would fill it with a grid, so that you could use it as a snapping layer.

Press "Shift+C" to align the centers of the two objects, then "G" to group them into a single object. You can still edit the label of the node by using "Edit text in group" from the context menu. This works best if one creates the text objects with alignment at the center. You may want to try out the new "move graph nodes" mode of Ipe - it lets you rearrange the graph nodes while the graph edges follow automatically. If you are Tikz user, you may prefer to let tikz draw your graph nodes. You can do that, for instance, by adding the style sheet "tikz-shapes.isy" (in the Ipe distribution). Create a text object (a label, not a paragraph), and in the first pulldown box select "green-disk". The text object will then be drawn as a tikz-generated box. The disadvantage of this method is that the boundary of the tikz-generated box cannot be snapped to. So you would draw your edges to the center of the node, and let tikz draw the node on top of the edges. Feel free to ask here if something is unclear. This is not really documented anywhere yet. I hope to get around to doing that at some point.

Be able to have a snap to grid option on a non uniform grid. Maybe the best would be to be able to have several grids (that you can hide or not) or be able to snap only to a specific grid. For example if I want to draw something on the bottom and on one face of a cube (in perspective) it would be nice to snap to the lower face ''tilded" grid when I draw the bottom part without being "annoyed" by the grid that belongs to the side of the cube. Maybe simply a color code for each grid would be enough... I am not sure I am very clear. Let me know if you don't get what I mean. Thank you very much!

IpePresenter is really just a presenter - it cannot modify the file at all. To add notes to a beamer presentation, you write the notes directly into the beamer source. The easiest way to do this is to define in your preamble \usepackage{pdfcomment} \newcommand{\pdfnote}[1]{\marginnote{\pdfcomment[icon=note]{#1}}} and then you can add notes to slides by saying \pdfnote{remember to say hello} See under III here: http://iihm.imag.fr/blanch/software/osx-presentation/ I really need to add a chapter about IpePresenter to the manual!

If you want to set it up so that new documents get xelatex as the default, set prefs.tex_engine = "xetex" in your prefereces (http://ipe.otfried.org/manual/manual_39.html). There is no way for a style sheet to switch to xelatex (admittedly one could argue that it should be possible, since a style sheet could contain a latex preamble that uses xelatex packages - but it's not so clear how this should work when several style sheets and the document specify different things).
