Hi,
I managed to redesign a new bounding-box-tab using fdesign. I find this version much more intuitive. My knowledge is insufficient to integrate this into LyX, so I have attached a screenshot of the fdesign window and a gzipped/tar file with the form_graphics.fd and a pixmap file. This design has a few trade-offs: 1) Only one Units-entry for all coordinates; previously each coordinate had its own unit selection, but that was not so useful. 2) No keyboard-shortcuts to the coordinate-value fields. However, somehow it must be possible to hop from field to field by hitting the tab-key. Does that need additional coding, or will that work automagically? 3) I have included a pixmap to illustrate the figure coordinates. There doesn't seem to be another dialog that uses pixmaps, so is using pixmaps in dialogs against LyX-dialog-policy? Regards, Rob.
