dia conversion
i would like to include dia diagrams in my lyx documents. Everything goes fine until i decide to export to PDF, it would ofcourse be preferable that when exporting to pdf , the high resolution of dia vector graphics are preserved. 1. if i include a dia document and include a converter dia- PNG , i get a shitty bitmap on the PDF file=) 2. if i convert .dia to .eps by hand and include it, lyx will convert it to PNG on the screen and PDF when exporting to PDF and it will look veeery nice. (this is what i want) 3. if i include a dia-eps converter, lyx insists on converting dia to eps and then png. not pdf. 4. if i include a dia-pdf converter only , lyx will complain that it cant convert dia to png for viewing and whines about not being able to convert to png when i try to view as PDF.. 5. if i include dia-pdf and dia-png , lyx prefers dia-png conversion what gives? why cant lyx just use the pdf format just like in eps? i mean it would be nice to have everything in vector which is small, nice and accurate. i have also made some kind of an external template entry for dia but external templates arent visible while editing with lyx and in general it is not preferable that way. If i get this working there is a good chance that i get one windows/powerpoint user to change fully into lyx/dia =) he is already using lyx and loving it;) -- Software Dude Markus Mikkolainen of Indagon Oy (www.indagon.com) Iä!
