Dear all
This request comes up every now and then, and was even part of our
aborted GSoC 2011.

But I was wondering whether there was a simple solution to this,
namely re-using the Instant Preview machinery. I am not familiar with
it's internals, but I understand that to display the LaTeX results the
IP uses the 'preview' package to generate images and then embeds these
into the LyX editor window. If I am getting this right, then LyX will
have already generated an image out of a formula.

How difficult would it be to add a 'Save IP' (or similar) to the
c-menu of a math inset and allow users to export the image? Since LyX
already knows how to convert a whole lot of formats, the dialogue
could allow to save to all image formats known to LyX. If the
generated image were in a vector format, then the whole process would
be perfect.

Do you think that this is feasible? Regards
Liviu
