What am I doing wrong? What fileformat does your figure have? I made the experience that the clipping coordinates are off a bit on screen for bitmap images. That probably depends also on the converters used. Please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org, giving a minimal exmaple (including figure) and converter settings Georg

What am I doing wrong? They work for me (other than some trial-and-error pain in most cases). You need to know the dimensions of the original image, and you need to specify units as well as amounts for the offsets. You also need to check the "Clip to bounding box" option. Avoid the "Get from file" button, unless you want to use it to get the original dimensions of the document. There was a bug a few versions back that would cause LyX to forget your bounding box settings under certain circumstances. I haven't encountered that in recent versions, but you didn't specify a version or platform. It's easy enough to verify that LyX is (or is not) remembering your settings, though. Cheers, /Paul

The behavior of the CLIPPING function in LyX seems mysterious. Entering numbers for the x,y coordinates (offsets?) of the bottom left or upper right does not produce the expected result: things move, but not by the correct amounts or even direction.
