I would like to lower a bit the circle in the 'in line' command:
\tikz \draw (0,-9pt) circle (4pt);
so that the circle appear shifted a little lower, with respect to the text
line it is in.
inserting the latex command:
\tikz \draw (0,-9pt) circle (4pt);
obtains:
1 - the picture, on the lyx display, effectively shifted downward, but
its lower part has been cut away. I would have a full circle in the text
line.
2 - The picture appears unmoved, in the pdf rendering
Any comments will be appreciated
thank you

Hello,
It seems like, inline tikz figures ignores the white spaces around the figure.
So, even if you shift the figure, you will not see a change in the PDF. To fix
that you can use "baseline" as in:
\tikz[baseline]{\draw (0,0pt) circle (4pt);}
This seems to glue the 0,0 center point to the baseline.
See the SE query at
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/416226/move-an-inline-tikz-node-vertically-to-align-with-baseline-of-surrounding-text
I think this may help with your PDF output.
When it comes to LyX rendering, I don't think you should expect too much from
LyX. As far as I know, the "Instant Preview" option is not intended to show the
perfect PDF output. Maybe it needs an adjustment with the inline Tikz figures.
You can report this issue to the developers, if you wish.
