Hi thanks for the responses they have been most useful. I have a few questions
below:
I have decided to use the Manchester Uni thesis format as its very near the
London Uni version. I think I am running into unnecessary difficulties because
I am using my existing directory structure and Lyx
I got it myself after a lot of trying and comparing:
In my file gnuplot.xtemplate I wrote "InputFormat gp", because
"InputFormat" and FileFilter extension are the same in the case of Xfig
(fig) and Inkscape (svg), but not with gnuplot: "InputFormat gnuplot"
and FileFilter .gp works!
For anyone
Dear LyX-user,
I would like to have a gnuplot xtemplate. To that end I wrote a shell
script gnuplot2pdftex.sh like this:
#!/bin/bash
GnuplotFile=$1
BaseName=`basename $GnuplotFile .gp`
GnuplotName=$BaseName.ptx
LyxName=$BaseName.pdf_tex
gnuplot -e "set term cairolatex pdf ; set output
