The file "gs.interface" in Ghostscript 1.5 contains a short description of the protocol used to communicate with Ghostscript. BTW, Ghostscript is available as a library now (since version 6.0). This is my user point of view, of course. I'm not a LyX developer. --Casantos

I'll either need to use a write to file (which is not an XPM as gs doesn't do XPM), or use the old method.

Hmm, ok, but then I need to save it to some format that I can read, the only thing I can depend on is XPM, since we already depend on the xpm library. I'll check that out. I do think that the current way should be fine, at least the idea of having gs output to x11 and we draw that, not necessarily the implementation itself. > insetfix is generating the correct postscript headers for the > translations so that part can be resued, but the environment does not > need to be setup, you just have to add an output parameter and read > that file.

What you want to do is to run gs and output to file and then load that. insetfix is generating the correct postscript headers for the translations so that part can be resued, but the environment does not need to be setup, you just have to add an output parameter and read that file.
