Hello,

If you export the LyX file to pdf with pdflatex, only .pdf, .png, .pdf or 
Metapost output figures will be processed. That's all: pdflatex don't 
support the .eps format in figures. You can use instead dvipdfm to export to 
.pdf your LyX file or convert .eps figures to another format that can read 
pdflatex.

I would suggest specifying width and height in the LyX graphics
dialog box. This sounds like the type of Latex error you could get if
you don't set those parameters.

Hi Yego.

Hmm, that's a bit strange to me. I use .eps all the time without any
problem and hit the pdf button (or export  PDF (pdlatex) ) and never
experienced conflicts.

Perhaps I don't understand the problem of Yakup very well, but I think
it's probably a size problem.

Kind regards, Nikos

Yes, I agree, LyX can handle eps, but you need the imagemagick package.
However, I think the problem here is that the size cannot be determined.
I had that kind of problem before in Latex, and I solved it by setting the
width in Latex, which I believe is equivalent to setting width in lyx.

Check in Document Settings that the graphics driver is set to default

Thanks for the clarification. By the way, are there quality differences
betweem pdf's vs. eps's? I usually export R plots as eps's.
