Hi Günter, How about SVG? Lately I've been putting SVG into LyX documents, and SVG is vector. But I've gotten the impression that LyX incorporates an SVG image by converting it to a vector graphic. I'd **LOVE** for LyX to use SVG images as vector graphics. SVG images are standard, and very small byteswize, and they're the native format of Inkscape. If anyone knows a way to get LyX to use SVG images as vector graphics, please let me know.
