Who said you have to print something? I never print my notes, except if I have to use them in an exam (you know, professors don't like PC at the exams...). > perhaps trying instant view inset in lyx 2.0 could help you. for example you can start to write raw xy-commands like in the example file for instant preview... I'm a fan on inset instant preview, but what I mean is making something for drawing more usable than hand-written LaTeX. LaTeX is great for writing math formulas, it's very concise, but making big pictures in XY-pic requires a lot of rows and columns and in LyX becomes pretty unmanageble. I was thinking of something with a GUI for drawing objects, like Dia or Visio maybe, non just LaTeX rendered. Ale
