Re: xfig figure in a slide?
Just thought I'd update the list on what worked.. I exported the figure from xfig as a latex picture with a .latex extension. Then did an Include file in LyX and used the Input option (the filter .latex needs to be included for the file to be visible).. and it worked great, all the LaTeX math etc. came out perfectly well!! nirmal

Re: xfig figure in a slide?
Hello, I have just started using the tex2pdf script (see Lyx's tips tricks under pdf). This works very well for me. After installation, just choose File - Export - PDF (pdflatex) and it does all the needed conversions (including for xfig) and gives a good pdf file. The only minor problem is that you can't use dots in the file name (except one before the file extension). Amir. Nirmal Govind wrote: Hi..

Re: xfig figure in a slide?
and epstopdf afterwards Thanks a lot for the code.. I edited it a bit to include the -Ppdf option for dvips.. there is some space in the resulting figure since the documentclass is defined as article in the code.. any tips on how to take care of this? Thanks, nirmal
