Newer versions of Inkskape can even import and edit EPS and PDF. There might be some problems, however as these formats miss some information present in e.g. SVG that is needed (or at least helpfull) in editing but not needed for printing. > > OOdraw should also support WMF. > What puzzles me is that if I open, say, a WMF in OODraw, I get a whole > block which cannot be separated into its individual components. I.e. you can annote, overwrite but not really edit :-( This is the usual behaviour of MS-Windows apps as well: try a Designer-produced WMF on a MS-Win machine without Designer. > > > These graphics will appear in documents for printing and pdf output. > > > > If you use pdflatex, preferabely save the drawings as pdf (but LyX can > > be told to convert eps to pdf as well). > > If you use latex+dvips+ps2pdf, save them as eps (but LyX can be told to > > convert to eps as well). > I'm feeling ignorant here: I don't see where to adjust these choices > (hence, which one LyX selected by default for me)...
