Dear Users,
Under Windows the best way of creating .eps drawings was to draw the
figure, to print it as an .eps file and then to use epstool to add a
bounding box around the figure in an a4 page. Thus, only the figure was
seen in Lyx the a4 page was not.
However, Lyx-1-4-4 apparently neglects the bounding box created by the
above method, and both in Lyx and Yap the whole a4 page is visible with
the wanted figure in the middle.
Do you have any idea that can help?
I usually draw with OpenOffice Draw program. This can export the figures
to .eps files but the dashed lines below 1 pt are pale or not visible.
I also tried the methods given in Lyx wiki but none of them gave really
good results, there were problems with the line thicknesses.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Gyorgy Pota
Gyorgy,
Try the following:
1. Right click on the image.
2. Check "Show in LyX" (if you have not already done so).
3. Select the Clipping tab.
4. Check "Clip to bounding box".
5. Adjust the coordinates of the lower left and upper right corner by
trial and error.
It helps to position the dialog to one side of the image and click Apply
after each change, so that you see immediately what has happened.
Cheers,
/Paul
