ps2pdf, ERT, and includegraphics
Dear all,
I am using lyx with powerdot for a presentation. I am trying to insert
a figure within an ERT box, to get advantage of the \twocolumn command
of powerdot.
I discovered that lyx does not output figures to pdf when using ps2pdf
(I checked this with a new article document containing a single ERT
command \includegraphics{}). It does output the figure when using
dvipdfm, but the problem is that powerdot requires ps2pdf...
Does anybody know of a workaround? I am using lyx 1.4.3 on Ubuntu (and
the figure I am inserting is an eps).
thank you very much for any suggestion
giuseppe

Re: ps2pdf, ERT, and includegraphics
Dear Paul,
thank you very much for your comments. It is quite weird: if I export
my file prova.lyx in latex (pdflatex or plain) and run latex prova.tex,
the dvi file shows the picture correctly, and of course the picture is
kept through the chain of dvips and ps2pdf; if I, however, try to
preview the document in LyX or export it directly to pdf (ps2pdf), the
image does not appear. Looking at the output in the shell window I see
the message:
dvips: Could not find figure file /home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps;
continuing
which is puzzling given that the file is definitely there:
ls /home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps
/home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps
I noticed the use of the double slash in front of the eps file name, but
that should not be a problem, right?
The document I am testing this on is an article with the command
\usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble, and a single ERT box containing
the command:
\includegraphics[scale=0.2]{beckmann2005}
where the image beckmann2005.eps is contained in the local directory.
I am attaching in the following my prova.lyx file, which may contain
useful information. Thank you very much for your help, I truly
appreciate it but please do not feel obliged to reply if this takes up
too much of your time.
best regards
