I really wish this stuff were documented somewhere... Yes, the order matters. The best "documentation" that we have is to look at the LyX source. Show the Code Panel and select LyX format. When the cursor in on a Graphics inset, you will see the syntax in the .lyx file. The syntax is related to our parsing code, and our parsing code is not very flexible.

I'm using lyxserver, but I am running into some issues. Please help! The following commands will insert a 1x2 table and populate the first cell with some text and the second with a graphics inset.

I can't figure out how to either 1) apply more than one property (filename, width, lyxscale, etc) when the inset is created The way to find this out is the open the Messages pane and activate the "action" messages. Then you can see the actual dispatch messages being produced on the fly. In this case, you just enter the extra arguments as well, e.g.: graphics filename graphics/HeadShot-200.jpg scale 80 clip The pane shows these as on new lines, but I don't think that's required. (I hope not.) 2) change the properties after the inset is already in place. inset-apply will modify an inset. It's just an alias to inset-modify or inset-insert, depending. So you could just use inset-modify, too. See Help> LyX Functions for the details. Riki -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
