Hi,
After a useful communication with Herbert on my problem displaying xpm-files on the LyX canvas, we came to the following conclusion: I'm using a fairly recent version of ImageMagick (5.4.7). This version's convert produces a color output line " c opaque" which causes a horrible quality in the LyX-View. Manually I have to do convert -opaque black .... -------------------------------------------------------- I have no idea whether this is a bug or a new policy of ImageMagick. If this 'convert-policy' remains, then an increasing number of people will experience extremely bad quality LyX-View graphics as they upgrade to the newer version of ImageMagick. Regards, Rob.
