Dear LyXers,
attached is a module to support the 4 boxes provided by the
LaTeX-package graphicx:
- \scalebox
- \rotatebox
- \reflectbox
- \resizebox
I am now using my module in daily work and it turned out that it is
too complicated for average users. I therefore want to retract my module.
The much better solution is a dialog in LyX where the user can specify
all necessary things. LyX can then take care of that the result is a
compilable LaTeX code.
The graphic boxes are a general feature and therefore deserve in my
opinion is better support than a module. One often has e.g. to resize
a table to assure that a certain width is not exceeded (despite that
the text in the table gets smaller). Rotating things is also a general
task that occur from time to time.
So if you agree, I revert the module from master and develop a dialog
for them. Attached is the design of the dialog I have in mind. With
this the user doesn't have to take care about the quite complicated
LaTeX behind it - which is the main goal of LyX. LyX will then also
take care when several boxes need to be nested, e.g. if one wants to
rotate and scale.
OK to go on this way?
Seems fine to me. How does this interact with the other boxes we support?
