from the doc:
PSfrag provides the best of both worlds by allowing the user to
precisely overla
y Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files with arbitrary LATEX
constructions. In ord
er to accomplish this, the user places a simple text "tag" in the
graphics file,
as a "position marker" of sorts. Then, using simple LATEX commands, the
user in
structs PSfrag to remove that tag from the figure, and replace it with a
properl
y sized, aligned, and rotated LATEX equation. PSfrag also allows the
user to pla
ce LATEX constructs directly into the EPS file itself.

- the use of \scalebox gives a problem when you always
load package pstricks, because there is also a
\scalbox definined, but with different parameters.
- \scalebox is not the preferred command to resize
images, this should always be done with
\includegraphics[scale=XXX]{file}

If you use psfrag.sty, you get different results when using
\includegraphics[scale=2]{file.eps}
and when using
\scalebox{2}{\includegraphics{file.eps}}
Re: Comments on InsetGraphics
Hi Even,
I think the correct Latex command for scaling graphics is:
\includegraphics[scale=]{file.eps}

I'm using graphicx only, why would a user want to use graphics? (I can
think of when exporting and giving to others, but graphicx should be
present a.e. [almost everywhere - that is, everywhere besides a set of
measure zero]).

\scalebox{2}{\includegraphics{file.eps}}
or if you use graphicx, \includegraphics[scale=2]{file.eps}.
BTW, if you plan to use graphicx, you should let the user decide if he want
to use graphics or graphicx.

Imagine the case where you have two figure of different >size. Then it might make sense to shrink both by the same factor. Right now I'm supporting the basics, and only what I saw in InsetFig, I'll write it in my wishlist file (at the header of insetgraphics.C). It would help if you could provide the needed latex command to use, I will do it myself some other time, but if it's a trival command and you provide it, I'll do it ASAP. -- Baruch Even http://baruch.ev-en.org/
Comments on InsetGraphics
Hi Even, it seems like the new graphics inset has become default today. Two comments on how to improve it: 1. I use to export my latex documents to pdf. But for intermediate results I prefer to have a short look at the dvi output. My current approach is to store my figures both in eps and pdf format. In LyX, I only specify the base filename (no extension). Depending on whether I export to dvi or pdf, LaTeX/LyX chooses the correct version. Unfortunately, this does not work anymore. Could you please provide a feature that treat figures in a way that I can export to pdf _and_ ps? Maybe it is better to provide a converter instead of stripping the file extension. What do you think? 2. On one of my machines there is no converter from eps to xpm. Unfortunately, LyX tells me about this fact each and every time it reads a figure (i.e. 50 times). Please let LyX output this message only for the first figure. Optional wish : 3. Feature request: Is is possible to scale a figure by a certain percentage? Imagine the case where you have two figure of different size. Then it might make sense to shrink both by the same factor.
