I guess you mean SVG->PNG as "inkscape -e $$o $$i"? > In principal this works find, but with some files (I haven't found out the > system, yet) an entire page (with the drawing placed like in inkscape) is > displayed in LyX -- but LyX should only display the drawing and not the > page. > > DVI and PDF output are fine -- it' s just about the representation in LyX. > > Can anybody tell me why this is and what I can do to see the drawing only? Probably you encountered a bug in the png export of inkscape. Does it work if you delete the SVG->PNG converter? In that case LyX will convert to EPS and then use the EPS->PNG converter (convert from imagemagick if you did not define your own) for display. If that does not work, send an example SVG file. Georg
