    You can put it in the Scalebox inset (from the Graphic Boxes module).


Having said that, using the external material dialog size options should also work (and do so for me).

Thanks, Jürgen,
I think one mistake I made was, not to export the xfig figure as combined PDF/LaTeX (both parts), which I now did. In the Lyx:Graphics window I clicked Scale graphics (%) and changed the output size from 50 over various smaller sizes down to 1 (%). However, the figure pdf output does not change and is far to large.
This is the output I see on the terminal:

figure \ref{fig:recording of petal movement},

figure \ref{fig:recording of movement of single flowers}).

\begin{figure}

\begin{centering}

\input{Schrempf-Fig02.pdftex_t}\includegraphics[clip,scale=0.01]{Schrempf-Fig02}

\par\end{centering}

\caption[Recording of petal movement]{\label{fig:recording of petal movement}Recording of petal movement

using a cuvette, schematic (after \citet{Engelmann1973}). Details

in text.}

\end{figure}

May be I did not quite grasp what you ment.

Wolfgang
