Sorry if this question has been answered before but what is the best
way to
import excel graphs (Charts) into Lyx. If I convert them to a .jpg for
example the quality of the finished document is poor.
The new capabilities in 1.6 will be very nice, but meanwhile ...
1. Install PDFCreator (it's a GPL opensource package).
2. Print your Excel spreadsheet to PDF using PDFCreator as the printer.
3. Include the PDF page in your LyX document.
I haven't done this with Excel, but I have done it with other programs,
and it works very nicely, especially if you take the trouble to format
your output to fill a single page nicely.
Right, I also often use this very method because it gives pdf graphics
instead of emf. That being said, an automatic emf to pdf conversion is
possible too.
