When I try to create a flip flop, I get a failure,

I am using that last version of inksapeLogicGates and inkscapeMadeEasy in Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11).

I am running on Ubuntu 16.04 (?), which is a virtual machine on a Windows 10 laptop, using VMware Workstation 14.1.3 build-9474260.

$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-34-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 27 15:21:48 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linuxi

The traceback is below.

Thank you,

I recently installed inkscapeLogicGates on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 system. I had a hard time getting it to work. One thing I needed to install that wasn't mentioned in the documentation was texlive-pictures. I think it was necessary for pict2e. If this is really needed, it would be nice if it was mentioned it in the documentation.

Thanks for all the work making a good looking symbol generator. I do have a few suggestions though. The scale factor between things like transistors and logic gates seems off. For example the flip-flop in this drawing is 12 grid sizes tall compared to 2 for the NMOS (6x the height) and the width is 10 vs about 2 (5x).

What is more typical (this is from a fairly representative set of symbols in a high end EDA tool) is something like this:

In this case the flip-flip is about 3x the height and a little over 2x the width. In terms of area used on the drawing, that puts the inkscape one at about 30x the area used for a flip-flop than an NMOS and about 6x in the example above. That is pretty huge as even a small amount of logic can totally dwarf the transistors.

It seems that inkscapeLogicGates requires the following items that, to my knowledge, are not mentioned in the installation instructions. FWIW I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.

pygtk
Tkinter
pdf2svg
pstoedit

I have tried a variety of gates/settings, but all attempts to generate gate drawings cause Inkscape to freeze/crash after the window with <2> in its header appears.

Hello,

I encountered this error while installing logicGates.

I'm using inkscape 1.2.2 on Kubuntu 22.04

Hello,
I'm trying to use the extension but I get the following error when clicking in the inkscape menu:

I can't find the "000_simbolosEletricos_1.0.svg". Any idea what could I be doing wrongly?
Thanks in advance.

I was working on a schematic diagram.. I had been using inkscapeLogicGates for a couple of hours. At the moment of the malfunction I'm reporting I was zoomed way in, and the Logic Gates window was not being displayed. I clicked on Extensions->fsmMLK->Circuit Symbols->Logic Gates... . Nothing happened. I tried 3 or 4 times, and still nothing happened. I saved my work, exited Inkscape, restarted Inkscape, and opened the file I had been working on, and all worked fine.

Of course, this could have been a bug in Inkscape or even below. But I'm reporting it for the record.

I"m brand new to inkscapeLogicGates. I am running on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS. I downloaded all the stuff including inkscapeMadeEasy, and also installed latex (TeXlive), pygtk, Tkinter, and pdf2svg. Then I tried to make a D flip flop (large, no control gates, high logic, active high clear).

I get an error with this traceback

return _nx.concatenate(arrs, 0)
ValueError: all the input arrays must have same number of dimensions

For whatever it is worth, I can successfully make a 2-input AND gate, so at least something is working correctly.

Added a bit later: If I disable latex, the problem goes away. But that's not a good solution since the labels on the signals are all surrounded by "$", ie. "D" input on the flip flop is labeled "$D$". I can take those out in Inkscape, but a nuisance.

i am getting following error when i try to place Latch or FF.
