Hello list,

i would like to use the pst-pdf package for including pstricks in
pdflatex outputs.
According to http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=pdf/pdfoutput the
pst-pdf package is the best solution for embedding ps code into pdf.

The pst-pdrf package documentation gives an example of how the package
works. It needs auxiliary calls to create the ps graphics.


PostScript graphics                                         bibliography
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pdflatex document.tex                                     pdflatex document.tex
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
auxiliary calls

latex document.tex
dvips -o document-pics.ps document.dvi
ps2pdf document-pics.ps                                 bibtex document.aux
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pdflatex document.tex                                     pdflatex document.tex



The used analogy to the bibliography let me assume that is not
straightforward to use this package with LyX.
Does such auxiliary calls need to be implemented in LyX like the
bibliography is?

I don't think that the need for ps graphics in pdf is so common that
it justifies the implementation as a seperate topic inside of LyX.
However there might be the need in general for such auxiliary calls
during the output sequence.

Do i miss something? Is there already an easy way to use pst-pdf within LyX?

Thanks in advance
Christoph
