I am inserting a Xfig picture via "insert-->external material". Is there some way of setting the scale of the Xfig picture with which the picture will appear in the DVI file?
Thanks, Mark. I had already tried that, but it does not work, i.e., the picture appears in DVI file with the original size. (Try to insert the same picture twice, one with "-m 0.5" and the other one without "-m 0.5"; you will see no difference.)
I use Tgif rather than xfig and it provides an .eps version of each figure. I then import that graphic file into a figure float and use the figure dialog box to scale and otherwise twiddle with the appearance on the typeset page.
Would this not work for you?
Thanks, Rich. Xfig is also able to produce eps pictures. I am using "insert-->external material" because I would like to have things like $\delta$ (LaTeX code) displayed over the picture, in the dvi file, as LaTeX would output it, i.e., showing the Greek letter and not the LaTeX code. In short, with "insert-->external material" and Xfig, it is possible to combine LaTeX code with pictures. I think it would be easy for the developers to implement a figure dialog box to scale pictures included with "insert-->external material", likewise it already happens with the importation of an usual graphic file, as, internally, it seems that LyX includes the picture with the usual command \includegraphics.
