Hi

I am using plantuml to create uml charts in a document, defined formats and converters and it works nicely. Plantuml has different output formats, among others png, eps and svg.

I have converters from eps to pdf (epstopdf) and from svg to pdf (rsvg-convert).

Both these go through to steps:

            |-> .eps -> .pdf(pstopdf)
.plantuml ->|
            |-> .svg -> .pdf(pstopdf)

Now LyX chooses to go via .svg, which, based on the internals of plantuml, does not make much sense. I can obviously delete the conversion plantuml -> svg, and LyX will go the other way, but then the preview in LyX is of much worse quality (no idea why).

So why does LyX choose to go via svg?
Is there a way to trick it into going via eps?

Cheers,

Rainer
