Stefano work. Moreover, if I put fig2 in the directory of the first
Stefano document, it works! So it's not the figure. I have tried both

Stefano I get is:

\input{fig1.pstex_t} to include a figure. The syntax you use is the

Stefano ! Undefined control sequence. argument \xivpt l.30
Stefano ...[b]{\smash{\SetFigFont{14}{16.8}{rm}600}}}
Stefano The only difference that I can see in the documents is that
Stefano the one that gives the errors defines some new latex of mine,
Stefano is there any possibility that I'm breaking something? I only
Stefano redefine heading looks, headers, bib format and other small
Stefano things, no latex internals.
Did you generate those two pstex_t files with the same version of
xfig?

Re: pstex problem
Hi Jean-Marc,
Stefano Hi everyone, I'm trying to use pstex figures, generated with
Stefano xfig, as suggested also in the User's Guide. My problem is
Stefano that things work in one directory but not in another, and I
Stefano cannot figure out why.
Although this is probably not the problem here, please use
\input{fig1.pstex_t} to include a figure. The syntax you use is the
TeX syntax, and is not considered proper LaTeX. You can also directly
use Insert-Include_File.
You were right: I should have used {} or Include File from the beginning
You were wrong: that was the problem! Now it works (with Include at
least), thanks a lot!
On the other hand, I have to say in my defense that I was following the
User's Guide. I do not know if this has been updated in the pre1 series,
still using .12.
All the best,
Stefano

Re: pstex problem
I also noticed that the .pstex file is a fairly nice ps file, you can include it as it was an eps figure, in fact. So I think one could add support for this format, since it's also advised in the User's Guide. I don't think it would be necessary to place the text wysiwyg-like in lyx, that would be a disproportionate effort probably. But it would be enough to be able to see that ps part and have the .pstex_t one included automatically. Maybe a line like "text will be read from file xxx" near the textless figure. Me too!

I think this has been fixed now. Could you tell me where exactly you found the
information, so that I can check?

Re: pstex problem
Ok,
it was not the problem... it appeared to work only because I had used
"include" intead than "input"...
Although this is probably not the problem here, please use
\input{fig1.pstex_t} to include a figure. The syntax you use is the
TeX syntax, and is not considered proper LaTeX. You can also directly
use Insert-Include_File.
Did you generate those two pstex_t files with the same version of
xfig?
Yes... 3.2 patchlevel 0-beta4.
No problem, for the moment it was not crucial... but I'd like to get it
working sooner or later.
