Angus, Yes. > If you fire up the Graphics dialog and set the "LyX Display->Scale:" entry > to 200%, say and press Apply, then the image is resized, but the resized > image overwrites the caption? Er, ... no. I see that I wasn't clear because I didn't know about the display and scale options. (Don't see them on the menus, either.) I use 'tgif' to create the figures for the book. (This is not intended to produce a side thread on vector-graphic tools for linux; I found tgif the easiest to learn and produce the types of illustrations I need.) When the illustration is too small on the typeset page for the text to be read I need to make it larger. I do this in 'tgif', save and print (which produces the .eps flavor). When I then view both the lyx figure float and the xdvi output the newly-expanded figure covers part of the caption. If scaling the figure is the proper way to enlarge it then I need to learn how to do this. Many thanks! Rich -- Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
