performed?
ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap
images. Therefore, your images are converted to bitmaps and hence the
quality of scaling is bad because your images are no longer vectorial.
Perhaps, you should downgrade ghostscript, to use it instead of
ImageMagick.

Actually, it seems not that it's scaled badly, but that it isn't scaled at
all. I set the scaling to 100% \text, which is what I always do. The
xmgrace graphic is landscape (the default). The lyx preview is fine, but
the pdf version has the graphic clipped. I did not select clipping to the
bounding box (nor did I set a bounding box).
I also found that switching eps->pdf conversion to ps2pdf13, and then using
export to latex using ps2pdf, or dvipdfm, the graphic is fine. Only using
export with pdflatex is broken.
First off, ImageMagick uses Ghostscript to convert EPS files. So the GS
installation can't be all that broken.
As to the clipping question, I assume that View->PDF (pdflatex) displays
the incorrectly clipped image with the correct orientation (landscape).
Did you specify that the aspect ratio be preserved? Does selecting
(or deselecting) improve things?
