But the white space around the graphics itself persists.
Because your image contains the whitespace. I converted your image to a PDF as I assume that your
document should also be a PDF and removed the whitespace. (You can insert images to LyX in every
format, but they can only be embedded to the resulting document PDF output when they are in the
format PDF, JPG, PNG, or GIF. When you use another image format like EPS, LyX has to convert the
images to one of the four formats in the background which extends the document compile time when
viewing/exporting it.)
There were two other problems:
- you scaled the image absolutely, but when you want to control the whitespace, you need to scale
the image relatively to the column width. When you e.g. set your wrap float to 50% column width and
do the same for your image you get no whitespace. When you set the image to 40% column width, you
get some whitespace around it.
- when you want the figure centered you can set its paragraph to centered and don't need to use a
LaTeX command But when using wrapped figures one often wants the image to be aligned with the text
column border. So in your case I would set the paragraph where the image is in to right aligned.
In a separate email I attached the example file.
