Hello everybody,
I just want to share my experience with xfig and the specialtext feature. I like that I can use Latex typesetting together with postscript graphics. I also like to see the graphics in Lyx. When a .pstex_t file is inserted in Lyx, the compiled version of the document looks good but WYSIWYG advantage of Lyx is lost somewhat as the graphics is not shown in the document.
So what I normally do is I create "xfig -specialtext" graphics and latex text, then I use a dummy Lyx document to produce a postscript file then I insert that new file in my real document. It takes me an extra step to accomplish what I want. Not a big deal as the graphics don't change very often. In most cases I do it once and it's all set.
What I'm wondering is whether there is a better way of doing it? Are there plans of making Lyx recognize graphics+text combination and somehow (probably not very easy?) precompile them to show the result inside the document?
Thank you Leo
