RE: RE: Importing EPS images in Lyx
Hi, (hoping this message is not too long for the list)
5) stardraw (staroffice): the EPS files are well read by gv (and ghostscript)
but if I insert them in a LyX (both 1.0.3 and 1.1.2) document and try to view
the resulting PS with gv, gv complains and shows everything except the image I
inserted. Exactly the same thing happens with EPS images generated by gimp.
Very strange! What errors did you get?
Here are the step I followed:
1) create the EPS with stardraw or with gimp.
2) inserted it into my LyX file.
3) Clicked on "Full screen preview" on the context "figure" window
4) gv opens and shows the image
5) from the "File" menu of LyX I click on "View Postscript"
6) gv opens and shows all the pages, the page containing the figure too. But it
does not render the EPS complaining with a window.

Here are the step I followed:
1) create the EPS with stardraw or with gimp.
2) inserted it into my LyX file.
3) Clicked on "Full screen preview" on the context "figure" window
4) gv opens and shows the image
5) from the "File" menu of LyX I click on "View Postscript"
6) gv opens and shows all the pages, the page containing the figure too. But it
does not render the EPS complaining with a window.
This is the reply of gv:

Thank you very much for your reply.
If someone is interested I can write a very small abstract of the pros and cons
of the graphical software I tried for the new LyX users (as I am one of them!)
