Re: how to get text effects in beamer (3d, shadow)

Re: how to get text effects in beamer (3d, shadow)

Is there anything that can do that in lyx/beamer/latex? Not sure if that is acceptable to you, but imagemagick can easily create such drawings for you. See e.g. http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/ Best regards, Stefaan.

Re: Drawing tool for LyX

Re: native Windows LyX?

AFAIK there are two versions, one is GPL (but no LGPL!), so you can use it with GPL applications. Only the UNIX version is GPL-ed. For windows there's a binary only "non-commercial" version of Qt 2.x.
