How to cross reference a float

2005-01-26 Thread Steve Litt
Hi all, I must not have gotten enough sleep last night, because I can't find a way to cross reference a float on my LyX 1.3.3. I create the figure float, give it a caption, and insert a .eps graphic. I then want to refer to the figure within some other text, so I Insert->Cross Reference, but

Intuitively, I doubt LyX would make me create a label for every float -- the float's already there, so I'd think that would be enough. AFAIK, you must manually create a label for each float. I think technically the label is associated with the caption.

Latex output of xfig

Hello, When I generate Latex part (.pstex_t) of a xfig picture, xfig inserts: \color[rgb]{0,0,0} in front of every line of text in the pstex_t document. Lyx seem to have a problem with \color[rgb]{0,0,0}. As soon as edit .pstex_t file and remove \color[rgb]{0,0,0} Lyx becomes happy again. Is
