This thread is making me feel too stupid. I don't really care how pdf output gets created, I'm happy to use any of the methods you recommend. In fact, sometimes I can't make it work in lyx but the script "tex2pdf" does what I need. But I now notice it calls pdflatex, and so the pstricks do not display.

I have Paul's example of a pstrick in lyx. If I want to process that through pdflatex, you say I need ps4pdf. But I can't understand how it is supposed to work. I downloaded ps4pdf.sty and the script ps4pdf, put the former in my latex distro (ran texhash) and put the script in the path (after making it executable).

Now, what magical incantation is needed to take the lyx doc with the pstricks in it into pdflatex?

  Would I open a figure float, center the paragraph, then open the ERT box
to write the pstricks code?


Yes, Rich. An example is below.
