Hi,
I'm running LyX CVS.
I was wondering whether the Preferences/Conversion can already be
used to load directly Grace-format files (a 2D graphics package),
and have these converted to EPS (from where LyX can take over).
I tried but failed.
I did following in Prefences/Conversion:
Add a new format in Formats-tab:
Format grace
GUI name Grace
Shortcut
Extension agr
Viewer
Add Grace->EPS in Converters-tab:
From Grace
To EPS
Converter gracebat -hdevice EPS $$i
Flags
For example
gracebat -hdevice EPS myfig.agr
will produce
myfig.eps
Nevertheless, I get an "Error converting" in the figure-square on
the canvas.
Is this feature not ready yet, or am I making a terrible mistake?
-------------------------
Something else:
The filebrowser in the graphics dialog seems to have a fixed
pattern of possible file extensions: "*.(ps|eps|png|jpeg|jpg|gif|gz)"
How about composing this pattern from the list of file extensions
in the converter list, since these are the loadable files?
This way I would get immediately "agr" added to the pattern list
when I add a Grace converter.
Regards,
Rob.
