Was it as simple as the figure being a bit wider than the text, and getting trimmed? When I get a figure that oversteps its bounds Lyx (or LaTeX) seems to want to left-justify it -- if you moved the bounding box to the left margin that may have fixed it (or it may have just made it shift slightly to the _left_, up against the right margin). Dunno. Dunno if it matters, or if you care -- but that's what seems to happen to me when I make 'em too big. -- --- Tim Wescott www.wescottdesign.com Control & Communications systems, circuit & software design.
