Define the layout in LyX (float, centring, depnding on how you
want to have it) and then parch the lataex code with
Insert->Include file->Use input
This avoids a lot of ERT in the lyx source, and allows to
update separately the figure and the document.
Be sure to force a rerun of latex if you change only the figure.
