Angus:"Hovever, if you can define a converter to ppm, then it'll load
these
beautfully. I haven't tried the others.
Much, much prettier scaling and rotation than I achieved."
------
What I tried to do was define a converter to ppm, but seem to have that
wrong.
Postscript PPM
pstoppm $$i
I tried as well:
PPM XPM
ppmtoxpm $$i > $$o
But there are other problems.

Then I do pstoppm and from ecg-drd001.ppm I see:
------
P6
# Image generated by AFPL Ghostscript (device=ppmraw)
610 705
255
------
Then I do ppmtoxpm ecg-drd001.ppm > ecg-drd.xpm and I get:
----
/* XPM */
static char *ecg-drd001[] = {
/* width height ncolors chars_per_pixel */
"610 705 3 1",
----
The numbers 610 and 705 bear no consistent relationship that I can see
with 254 219, and I get a too big, but very nice, image in Lyx when I
use it to view ecg-drd.xpm
When I try to scale it to custom get Latex size (which it reports as
256,227) it is junk and out of proportion.
And, of course, when I do this I can no longer get a psview.
So I would say it did not actually work at all.
