Re: Lyx 1-4-4 neglects .eps bounding box?
Dear Users, Tank you all for the responses. Meanwhile it turned out that Lyx 1.4.4-4 takes into account the bounding box when it is used with an older version of ImageMagick. This ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16 came with the previous Lyx 1.4.3. I cannot enclose the chosen problematic figure since the Lyx list machine returned it to me, being too large to accept. However, I know that the title does not include the string eps but the figure is now shown correctly by Lyx. The bounding box can also be seen in gsview32. I remark, that with Imagemagick 6.3.2-Q16, used by Lyx 1.4.4-4, all my previously clipped figures were wrong in Lyx. For Paul A. Rubin: I clip the images with epstool independently of Lyx; Lyx only reads these images. With best wishes, Gyorgy Pota

I also tried the methods given in Lyx wiki but none of them gave really good results, there were problems with the line thicknesses. Thank you in advance for your help, Gyorgy Pota Gyorgy, Try the following: 1. Right click on the image. 2. Check Show in LyX (if you have not already done so). 3. Select the Clipping tab. 4. Check Clip to bounding box. 5. Adjust the coordinates of the lower left and upper right corner by trial and error. It helps to position the dialog to one side of the image and click Apply after each change, so that you see immediately what has happened. Cheers, /Paul
