Hello everybody, I just want to share my experience with xfig and the specialtext feature. I like that I can use Latex typesetting together with postscript graphics. I also like to see the graphics in Lyx. When a .pstex_t file is inserted in Lyx, the compiled version of the document looks go

That's great. It would be a useful feature! If Lyx can combine ps files and latex files like that, then they don't even have to be produced by xfig. Am I right? Cheers Leo - Original Message - From: "Angus Leeming" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 9:28 AM Subject:

Herbert, There is no problem with .ps. I use it all the time. What I meant was that the .pstex_t file does not need to be generated by xfig. So if one has a .ps file produced by some other software one can add latex text to it and preview the whole image in Lyx. Cheers Leo - Original Mess
