Why do you want to do that? Why don't you let LyX export the file whenever it is needed? > xfig export menu > language > combined PS/LaTeX (both parts)? That depends what you want to do. But you should not need that. Just include the .fig file via Insert->File->External Material, and LyX will do the export automatically when it is needed. > is now the x.pstex file put into the figure float of lyx (there seems to > be no difference to me in the text appearance of the figure-whereas I > expected the text to be now in the size and kind of the document text) or > the x.pstex_t file (but I get an error in converting into the correct > format, and no figure is shown). That does not work. If you include it as a graphic you need a format that can be converted to eps. That is not the case with pstex_t, you either need to include the fig file directly, or the exported eps file. In both cases you can not use formulas in xfig, therefore the recommended way is to use the external inset. > N.B. You might want to edit the .pstex_t files created by xfig.

Believe me, you don't want to know all the details of pstex_t. Just include the fig file via the external inset, and LyX does everything for you. Georg
