The attached LyX file is my meagre attempt to offer a better example. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations

The default \backslash unitlength is 1pt, so the picture environment below was created to be 72 x 72 points in size. The 0,0 origin places it on the baseline following the last character typeset. Then with the \backslash frame command a border is drawn around it. Inside the picture environment a \backslash put command adds a \backslash framebox slightly smaller than the picture environment. Inside this is another \backslash framebox, 16 x 16 points in size. The (28,28) origin (i.e. 72/2 - 16/2) of this second \backslash put command, translates (shifts) the origin of our smaller box from the lower-left corner of the picture environment to its center; and \SpecialChar \ldots{} \layout Standard finally an x marks the spot: \begin_inset ERT status Open \layout Standard \backslash frame{ \layout Standard \backslash begin{picture}(72,72)(0,0) \layout Standard \backslash linethickness{0.1pt} \layout Standard \backslash put(2,2){ \backslash framebox(68,68)[]{}} \layout Standard \backslash linethickness{2pt} \layout Standard \backslash put(28,28){ \backslash framebox(16,16)[]{x}} \layout Standard \backslash end{picture}% \layout Standard } \end_inset That's all. The \backslash linethickness command can also be used. Zoom in on the dvi output (or print the page) to see the difference. \layout Standard \begin_inset ERT status Open \layout Standard \backslash setlength{ \backslash unitlength}{1em}% \end_inset \layout Standard A further option would be to change the \backslash unitlength to something other than points. Here the \backslash unitlength has been changed to 1 em \begin_inset ERT status Collapsed \layout Standard \backslash begin{picture}(1,1)(0,0.2) \layout Standard \backslash put(0,0){ \backslash framebox(1,1)[c]{M}} \layout Standard \backslash end{picture} \end_inset using the \backslash setlength command. \the_end
