+Used for creating images for LaTeX documents, where the image's text is typeset by LaTeX.
+When exporting to PDF/PS/EPS format, this option splits the output into a PDF/PS/EPS file
+(e.g. as specified by --export-pdf) and a LaTeX file. Text will not be output in
+the PDF/PS/EPS file, but instead will appear in the LaTeX file. This LaTeX file
+includes the PDF/PS/EPS. Inputting (\input{image.tex}) the LaTeX file in your LaTeX
