I have been using tgif to do vector graphics for a few years and I have been
happy with it for simple things.

I hacked their equation object code to call lyx for equation editing.  

You double click an equation image in tgif and it should open a lyx editor with
the equation in it.  You can modify the equation in lyx (and preview it in pdf
or ps) then save and close the lyx file.  Tgif should then automatically convert
the .lyx file to ps then convert the ps to eps and load it with a preview back
into tgif.  You can see your equations and edit them in a nice lyx environment!

You may need pstoepsi somewhere in your path:

I had to modify my previous version for use on XP, since I had the scripts copy
everything into /tmp but that gets horked on XP.


Also, I saw recently that lyx added native tgif support for the image converter.
 I have been using tgif forever, exporting to eps for use in lyx. My ImageMagick
/ convert does not appear to work on my new XP install for converting tgif .obj
files to .ppm, but that is ok, I am fine with the eps right now and I don't have
a 1.4.2 install on linux to try out yet.
