Hi Paul:
Thanks for the message.
1. Apparently, ImageMagick is correctly configured on LyX path prefix.
The entry is:
C:\Arquivos de programas\ImageMagick-6.3.3-Q16;
which is the directory where convert.exe is found.
Ok.
2. From the command prompt, I make
convert figure1.ps figure1.png
This conversion works ok, and I am able to include the resulting .png
image as a graphic in LyX, and it is properly shown.
However, if I make
convert figure1.ps figure1.ppm
the conversion does not work properly. It generates a bad .ppm file,
that I cannot open with the GIMP (although I am able to include it as a
graphic and to see it in LyX).
I don't understand this. You're saying that LyX will display the PPM
file properly (if you include it directly in the document) but GIMP
thinks the file is bad?
Do you have problems converting non-Adobe formats (e.g., figure1.jpg) to
PPM? The reason I ask is that ImageMagick relies on Ghostscript when
converting Postscript and Encapsulated Postscript to other formats. So
if the problem is only with PS/EPS and not with JPG/PNG/..., then the
place to look is your Ghostscript installation.
Meanwhile, I'm not sure any of this explains your problem entirely,
particularly since you indicated conversion to PPM (the format LyX uses
for internal display) failed for all sorts of image types. You might
try the following. Open a DOS window and cd to the LyX bin directory.
Run 'lyxc -dbg graphics' there. (Note that it's lyxc, not lyx.) Start
a new document. The DOS window will have all sorts of progress messages
from LyX that we don't care about; make a note where they end. Now
insert an image with the option to display in LyX turned on. More
messages will spew into the DOS window. Copy the ones that came after
you inserted the image and mail them to the list; maybe they'll tell us
where the script is failing.
