Re: changing Xfig figures in LyX

[Philipp Fleig]

Hello,

ok. Attached you find a sample .lyx + xfig file.

When I go to preferences in LyX there are a number of converters, including some like FIG -> EPS, FIG -> PDFTEX and FIG -> PSTEX, which I guess would be the relevant ones. I read on http://www.xfig.org/ userman/latex_and_xfig.html something about the psfig package. Could it be this, which I am missing?

Thank you for the great help!

some .latex file which I exported in Xfig!?

Exactly.

Now, when I do this and include the .fig file in my document and then
try to run pdflatex I get an error saying 'Empty output file was
created'.
Also, if I tick 'Show in LyX' when I  include the .fig file, the
figure does not show up.

That looks like a problem with your xfig file. Or you are missing some

converters. If you look in the preferences, is there a converter defined

from xfig to png?

What am I doing wrong? Probably it is something really simple which I
should know myself...Sorry I'm a beginner.

it will be easy to find out what is going wrong.

If you send a minimal example .lyx file + xfig file that shows the problem
