Thanks for the pointer. I looked into it and I think I'll stick to LyX External Material. For what it's worth, my reasons are: 1. Egplot's major advantage over simply running gnuplot and creating *.eps files is that egplot's LaTeX in-line text is more likely to be considered by the author for updating. The risk that the author will forget to update doesn't concern me. What concerns me is the possibility that the gnuplot file will get updated and the *.eps file (or *.txt file) won't. The LyX External Material feature makes sure that can't happen. 2. LyX External Material is a standard feature of LyX, and egplot requires that all the people working on my current document project with me go get LaTeX and (maybe also LyX) packages from CTAN. I'm still trying to get some of the diehards to give up on doing our project in Word! I don't want them to have to streach until they've all bought the program. 3. Encapsulated PostScript may not be enough. One of LyX's PDF output generators (pdflatex, I think) requires *.pdf graphics files. If we export to HTML, I'm told all graphics files should be converted to *.png format. I don't think LyX can automatically generate *.pdf and *.png files yet, like it does *.eps and *.txt files for External Material, but it has to be going in that direction, and its documentation file makes it clear dgplot isn't. Again, thanks for the pointer. More relevent information is always better. -- M/S 258-5 |1024-bit PGP fingerprint:|[EMAIL PROTECTED] NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59| (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000| 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6|FAX: (650) 604-4377 Not an official NASA position.
