setting graphics height to % of text height?
I'm using lyx-1.3.2, xforms. I'm generating a page of thumbnail images and need to specify the graphics height as a percentage of the text height. The width should scale with the height, as it is not the constraining dimension. What I'd like to get is the equivalent of \includegraphics[height=0.2\textheight]{foo.ps} I can't figure out how to do this. In order to make the Height input box active, I select anything but Scale% for the Width. I then select text% for Height, but it translates that to textwidth, not textheight, in the output LaTeX. Is there some way to do this? Thanks, Diab -- Diab Jerius Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics 60 Garden St, MS 70, Cambridge MA 02138 USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] vox: 617 496 7575 fax: 617 495 7356
