hello again,
Say I have the following file a.tex:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\setlength{\unitlength}{.2in}
\begin{picture}(8,6)
\put(0,0){\makebox(0,0)[tr]{AAA}} <<-- look at this line
\put(8,0){\makebox(0,0)[tl]{BBB}} <<-- look at this line
\put(1,0){\line(1,0){6}}
\end{picture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
I lyx-import, save as b.lyx and export as b.tex:
%% LyX 1.4.0 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[10pt,english,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\makeatletter
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% User specified LaTeX commands.
\usepackage{babel}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
%
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\setlength{\unitlength}{.2in}
\begin{picture}(8,6)
\put(0,0){\makebox{(}0,0){[}tr]{AAA}} <<--- extra {,}
\put(8,0){\makebox{(}0,0){[}tl]{BBB}} <<--- extra {,}
\put(1,0){\line(1,0){6}}
\end{picture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
As far as I may see, the extra {,}`s make the final output a mess.
Comments welcome.
thanks
mario
