Could somebody kindly point me to an understandable explanation
of how to use xfig produced figures in LyX?
Help file Userguide tells me to check for detailed explanation
under ImbeddedObjects but there I can´t find any detailed
explanation.
Just FYI, here is my current preferred method,
Yes xifg previewing can already been done thanks to fig2dev which
is part of the xfig program. Just use the external material inset
(Inset-File-External Material) and choose XFig in the combo. In
the display tab, select 'preview'.
I think you are missing my point.
