Right. > For LyX display, PNG is required, therefore SVG->PNG converter. Almost right. ppm, xpm and a few other formats would also work. > Nevertheless, Lyx also displays the image without the PNG conversion > listet, but there is a difference.

I explained it already: If you don't specify a svg->png converter then LyX will use the default converter. Georg
