Maybe someone can help. I have been playing with my attempt to load graphics in the background so that we can continue to use LyX whilst the conversion is taking place. I've a little test program that works fine althoufh the conversion is currently hardcoded. The pixmap is finally displayed as a xforms pixmap button (in my sample program, not in LyX). The question is this:
How do I scale the pixmap? It'd be really nice to specify the maximaum dimensions of the viewed image (maintaining aspect ratio) rather than use the default size of the converted pixmap. I can see that the XPM library has a XpmSize attribute, but this doesn't appear to be used to set the size of the generated pixmap. I'm using "convert" to create my original pixmap and convert has a -geometry option that enables me to specify the dimensions of the final pixmap, but the colours of this scaled pixmap are junk: ". c #0b680b680b680000", Doesn't inspire confidence does it? Can I do this using X routines? If so, some pointers would be welcome. Angus
