Re: Drawing graphs in lyx
I'm entering this conversation late, but another way to generate graphs is with octave, a numerical package very similar to MATLAB. I've used octave to generate eps files directly, or to generate files in xfig format which can also be translated to fig so that they can be incorporated into LaTeX (i.;e., LyX) with similar fonts.

Drawing graphs in lyx
Hi, I'm preparing a presentation in lyx and want to draw a couple of (simple) graphs. I'm not a very advanced computer user so right now I'm making the presentation in lyx and drawing the graphs in Microsoft Word (!), and I plan to add them to the presentation as images afterwards. Is there a simpler way to do this? More specifically; is it possible to draw graphs directly in lyx? Best regards, Ola.

Ola, LyX does not have built-in graphing, but there are a number of easy-to-use tools out there which LyX supports very nicely. Personally, I use Grace http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/. Unfortunately, it appears that installing Grace on Windows (which I assume is your OS) does not appear to be trivial. I haven't tried it. However, the way you are doing it can work quite well, or at least as well as anything using MS Word (wouldn't Excel be better?). If you can save the graph in a vector format that LyX can read (such as PDF or Postscript) the results will be better than saving it as a raster file. -- Les ~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
