Hi I really like the new External Material Inset. Here's an external material inset template that works (for me at least) with the drawing program: TGif (see http://bourbon.cs.umd.edu:8001/tgif/ ). It's quite simple and not tested beyond that it actually works for me.... I guess that the only real requirement is that 'tgif' must be installed and in the path. Here are some questions/suggestions: --- Where should these external material inset templates be submitted? I've looked at for instance: http://www.sad.it/~jug/lyx/lyxdoc/ExternalMaterial/ but haven't found the information, nor in the documentation with my LyX version 1.1.6fix3. The suggestion is of course to add a suitable address of where to submit these templates. Maybe this list is the right place? --- A local 'external_templates'-file hides the system's templates-file, so at the moment I think I'm forced to first copy the system's template-file. Suggestion: Add some 'include'-command to automatically include /usr/share/lyx/external_templates (or just let LyX do this automatically) --- There might be a subtle difference between 'ViewCommand' and 'EditCommand', below I'm using TGif for both of them, whereas the 'Bitmap'-template views the created '.eps'-file. Is the same behaviour desireable here as well? Now to the actual template. Simply add the text below to your 'external_templates'-file (either in your .lyx-directory, or in the installation directory). It's also attached as a file for your convenience. Template TGif GuiName "[TGif: $$Basename]" HelpText A TGif figure. In the parameters box you can supply additional parameters to TGif. This template uses TGif for editing and viewing. HelpTextEnd FileFilter "*.tgo" ViewCommand "tgif $$FName" EditCommand "tgif $$FName" AutomaticProduction true Format LaTeX Product "\\includegraphics{$$Basename.eps}" UpdateCommand "tgif -print -color -eps $$Parameters $$FName" Requirement "graphics" FormatEnd TemplateEnd Christian Riddersr�m
