Subject: LyX fails picture conversion
Dear All
I have an EPS picture inserted in a LyX document. When I run
View --> PDF (pdflatex)
I do not get the picture on the PDF document. On the command line, it
appears the following:
$ /usr/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.sh ERROR
Execution of "convert" failed.
$
Any clue?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
Well you know pdlatex reads jpeg, png and pdf image files.
On windows, epstopdf.exe found in the Latex directory
will convert: "epstopdf image.eps" will produce image.pdf
Maybe Tetex has the command eps2pdf. But anyway I can
view those files using the dvipdfm option, usually. First
View->DVI then next View->dvipdfm
This does some conversion and invokes the xpdf viewer.
Then you can use File->Save copy as (iirc)
to put the file where you want it. Works with LyX137
Regards,
Stephen
