I have finally worked this out
You need
ERT box{
\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]
{/home/graham/Dropbox/Lectures/R-Intro/Images/Moon.png}}
Then the begin frame menu item
Frame content
Then end frame menu item
Then an ERT box with }
This seems to work fine , but is there a better way?

Using an ERT box I can add a background image to Beamer presentation
with
\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]
{/home/graham/Dropbox/Lectures/R-Intro/Images/Moon.png}}
But this adds it to every slide, and I only want it on a single slide.
I have tried some other options such as putting this in the preamble
(from searching the Lyx archives)
\newcommand\BackgroundPicture[1]{%
\setbeamertemplate{background}{%
\parbox[c][\paperheight]{\paperwidth}{%
\vfill \hfill
\includegraphics[width=0.8\paperwidth,height=0.8\paperheight]{#1}
\hfill \vfill
}}}
and then
\BackgroundPicture{image}
But again this adds the same image to every slide.
I have tried replacing the image with nil \BackgroundPicture{} for the
next slide to try and switch it off, and tried replacing it with a
different image, but both are ignored.
The Latex instructions are to put the entire slide in a graphics block
ended with a } but putting this in an ERT at the end of the slide
throws an error. even when I have a matching { at the beginning of the
code.
I have tried the "end frame" menu option, but again this doesn't stop
the graphic appearing on all subsequent slides.
Hopefully this is one of those things that is easy to do, just
difficult to find.
Thanks,
Graham
