Hi, all,
I found that I posted this message earlier, but it looks like only a
small part of that message actually ever got through (vagaries of
Hotmail?). Here is a better version, from a better email account, as I
haven't found any solutions to the problem yet.
I'm using LyX 1.4.3 on Debian. It has given me no problems so far,
except for this niggling fact: if a .fig file refers to an .eps, over
which xfig has lain some characters (or lines, or whatever), *sometimes*
only the graphics which were stuck on the .eps file using xfig show up
in instant previews, not the underlying .eps file.
For example, I have an xfig file which refers to a contour plot, and
I used xfig to label the contour lines with values. The resulting file
previews just fine in LyX, showing the contour plot and the labels for
the lines. However, in the same LyX document, I have another .fig file
which refers to a different .eps (a smaller .eps this time, in fact).
Only the portions I added using xfig happen to show up in LyX's instant
preview, not the underlying .eps.
I thought it might be a consequence of the size of the .eps files,
but there doesn't seem to be a correlation which will tell me when a
file will successfully preview or not. It seems that all other file
types (.png, .pdf, etc.) preview just fine.
This is by no means a showstopper for me, but just an annoyance.
Has anyone else run into it?
Cheers,
C.O.
