In 1.4.x you can scale and rotate xfig external insets and get visual feedback of same. Attached is a snapshot of a LyX screen showing a preview of a rotated xfig external inset. > Surely the parameter list can be made "safer", perhaps by checking > for "&&" and similar? The parameter list has gone because the external inset now uses the same converter mechanism as is used by the graphics inset. We currently have no mechanism to pass options to these converters on a per-inset basis. Having said that, there's no reason not to add such functionality because the converters are executed through execvp (rather than system) and so should be safe from such && nastiness. -- Angus
