Re: Lyx, pdflatex and pstool
Thanks, it works fine.
I have try to insert a .fig figure (since I use xfig to make my graphics),
hoping that Lyx would handle it also. When I try to view the pdf document
(with pdflatex) I have the following error :
Missing $ inserted
I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.
Have you perhaps an idea (else I simply export all my figures in eps) ?

Thanks.
Hi,
This solution is not using the external objects, but you could give it a
try (only partially tested on a minimal example, but I got it to work):
1) Add, at the *end* of your preamble (Document Settings LaTeX
Preamble) [1]:
\usepackage{pstool}
\EndPreamble
\let\includegraphics\pstool
2) Use the usual mechanism for graphic insertion in LyX, specify your
.eps file.
3) Put the {psfrag code} part in TeX code right after the graphic [2].
4) Define a new file format: In Tools Preferences File Handling
File Format
Click New... and enter the following
Format: PDF (pstool)
Doc format: yes
Vector graphics format: yes
Short name: pdf4
Extension: pdf
Viewer: auto
Click Apply
5) Define a new converter: In Tools Preferences File Handling
Converters
Select these:
From format: LaTeX (plain)
To format: PDF (pstool)
Enter this:
Converter: pdflatex -shell-escape $$i
Extra flag: latex
Click Add, then Apply
Cheers,
Julien
[1] Note that something more robust could be done, to cope with cases
where you would forget to add {} in TeX code when there are no psfrag
replacements for that figure. Left as an exercise.
[2] Activate the View View Source option in LyX to help you out
while doing that. Make sure the LaTeX code corresponds to what you want
to achieve.

Lyx, pdflatex and pstool
Hi,
I use the pstool package to combine psfrag and pdflatex and it works well. In
practice, to include a graphic I need a 'file.eps' and I use the \psfragfig
command of the form :
\psfragfig[some options such as those of graphicx]{file.eps}{psfrag
code}
I use the latex insets to add this graphic. Of course, I cannot see the file
in Lyx. My question is : is it possible to configure Lyx in such a way that,
when a graphic is included, it uses the psfragfig. In particular, in Lyx 2.0,
it seems to add some external objects such as xfig files. Where can I found
some information to create such an external object ?
Thanks.
