Hi Tim, When I open it in Okular, it looks great, assuming you meant your lines to be 1 pixel thick, because that's what it looks like. I'd imagine that with one pixel lines, if putting it into LyX enlarges or shrinks it, that would do funny things to the lines. Why don't you try a drawing with 3 pixel thick lines (including the circles and rectangles) and see whether you get the same problems. If not, I recommend using 3px lines. Another thing I've done successfully is convert it to a .pdf and use that in LyX. For whatever reasons, .pdf graphics seem to scale better within LyX.
