Dear LyX-user, I would like to have a gnuplot xtemplate. To that end I wrote a shell script gnuplot2pdftex.sh like this:
#!/bin/bash GnuplotFile=$1 BaseName=`basename $GnuplotFile .gp` GnuplotName=$BaseName.ptx LyxName=$BaseName.pdf_tex gnuplot -e "set term cairolatex pdf ; set output '${GnuplotName}' " $GnuplotFile mv $GnuplotName $LyxName This script works on the command line, and I can input the resulting file gnuplot.pdf_tex in LyX, and if I put it in a preview box I get a preview, and the document compiles. However, if I have similar scripts for pstex, png and eps in ~/.lyx/scripts and define converters like this: \converter "gnuplot" "pdftex2" "$$s/scripts/gnuplot2pdftex.sh $$i $$o" "needauth" and have a file gnuplot.xtemplate written after the model of inkscape.xtemplate in ~/.lyx/xtemplate, then preview fails and there is no image in the compiled document. Despite a defined converter for pdftex and pstex I get error messages with lyx -dbg graphics related to convert: Execution of "convert" failed. Systemcall.cpp (306): Systemcall: 'python3 -tt "/usr/local/share/lyx- 2.4.0~RC4/scripts/convertDefault.py" gp "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.hmNUbfzyTaRY/lyx_tmpbuf0/2_home_tobias_gnuplot- beispiel.gp" ps_tex "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.hmNUbfzyTaRY/lyx_tmpbuf0/2_home_tobias_gnuplot- beispiel.ps_tex"' finished with exit code 1 Error: Die Datei kann nicht konvertiert werden ---------------------------------------- Keine Information vorhanden, um Dateien im gp-Format nach pstex2 zu konvertieren.

What is wrong or what is missing? Thanks for helpful hints in advance! Tobias -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
