> dia exports to .png, which can import directly into LyX. However, this means exporting a vector drawing to a raster bitmap. Dia can also export to PDF and/or Postscript, which is the better choice and works with LyX like a charm. Alternatively, you can use the external inset (Insert>File>External ...) to insert the dia file itself (with internal conversion by LyX). > Inkscape > uses .svg, which can import directly into LyX, for a native format. > Gimp can write just about any kind of raster format.
