Whoah...this is something new!! Thank you for the pointer. I'm still returning to LyX (after not so successful adventure in XML & ConTeXt world :-) so I'm still not aware of all the goodies developed in LyX in the meantime ;) Will definitely try this approach. (Now I have problems in pdflatex-ing Inkscape's output, i.e. trying to discern what are the extensions (aka pacakges) needed to produce output.) > As for SVG: If you define an "svg" format and define "converter"s from > "svg" to "png", "pdf" and "eps" then you'll be able to include SVG > graphics directly in the Graphcis inset and they'll "just work". Well, SVG is not so interesting for itself, i.e. I just asked if one can retain graphic and combine it with the LaTeX/LyX text. Otherwise, converting the whole thing from Inkscape to .e.g. pdf, does not make much sense, cause text on the graphic-oriented slides and text-only slides would differ too much. So, including Inkscape exported graphic as a template and combining it with LyX text-capabilities is, imho, a right way to go. btw, I saw on Inkscape mailing list there are several people migrating from xfig :-) Sincerely, Gour -- Registered Linux User | #278493 GPG Public Key | 8C44EDCD
