I would like to give a brief summary of what I have been able to learn I gave a try to inkscape however it seems that the render of latex formula is broken at linux at version 0.45. Last stable version I haven't been able to compile at linux and I can not comment So far, the more promising try have been ipe. It seems that latex formulae can be easily inserted. There are some minor issues that I have to get used, but it could be the tool we are looking for. PyX seems to much low level for my taste. We were looking something more drag'n'drop Before I recommend my colleague to give a try to jfig I'd like to hear from people that have used it if jfig can be used the same way that xfig with the external material inset (taking care of latex formula rendering internally using some python scripts) Other possibility would be cygwin however it will depend on the policy of the system administration where he works. Once again thank you very much for your valuable contributions.
