I would like to be able to produce the graph of certain functions (say, f(x)=ln(x)) and manipulate it with xfig to get a vectorial picture to insert, afterwards, in a LyX document. I could use Maple to produce those graphs, but Maple pictures are bitmaps... and not vectorial pictures. Any ideas?
use PSTricks, it is much more better than all the other stuff, because you have _always_ the same fonts as in your document and everything is a vector graphic. For PDF-Output look at http://PSTricks.de
