Thanks. for this. I think your instructions apply to lyx. But I'm attempting to do the same thing in kile. I suppose if I knew how to define the position according to coordinates, I'd be better off. I just want the pictures to "grow" from the bottom right hand side of the slide. What are the coordinates of a slide? How are they defined? What is, for example, the bottom left? The bottom right? The top left? The top right? The centre?
I should be able to work from there. Unless there's an easier way to do it. I see that latex speaks about "center," but it won't let me choose "right". Thanks again, Declan On 2/1/06, Paul A.
