Powerdot and graphics

2013-06-12 Thread Joe Melton 
Hello All,

I am using LyX 2.0.5.1. on a Mac (10.6.8) with the powerdot layout that
 comes preinstalled. I am trying to get powerdot to easily include figures 
in a sensical way. I have had no luck fiddling on my own and the
 powerdot manual does not address figure placement. I was 
hoping someone would have some tips as I couldn't find anything
 in the archive. I am relatively new to lyx/latex.

The main issues are that the graphic is added in a way that it
 flows off the slide. I can specify the size using the dialog box 
but I am hopeful there would be a more intelligent way? I was 
also hoping for a way to put the text and graphic side-by-side
 in some cases. I tried to set up a text box at 45% width and then 
a figure float on the other side but that did not work. My use 
of powerdot will be heavily dependent on getting figures in easily.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe
