Re: .ps from Mac in LyX
Thanks Kayvan for the info on the Bounding Box. I tried setting it manually and still LyX and dvi choked on it. Thanks J-P for your suggestions. I used your method to get the BB using ghostview. I still had problems. I tried converting the file from ps to eps using ps2epsi. No luck. At this point I am thinking of converting the file from ps to eps on the Mac, then transferring that file over. These ps files on the Mac were created using the print dialogue, which allows you to print to a .ps file. Perhaps it just creates weird output. Maybe a newer sys version would help. Bill

.ps from Mac in LyX
I have several .ps files created by a Mac that I want to include in a LyX document. I attach one. I ftped them over as binary, then converted tr "\r" "\n" fig1.ps fig1.ps.new to get rid of the weird mac end-of-lines. The files look OK in ghostview. HOWEVER they just create a string of errors if I try to include them in a LyX document. Does anyone have any guesses what is wrong and how to fix? My guess is that the problem has to do with the line: %%BoundingBox: ? ? ? ? But I don't know how to fix it. Thanks very much for any help. Bill Simpson fig1.ps.new
Re: .ps from Mac in LyX
Not too sure about it as you don't say which system you are using for LyX but I guess it is Unix/Linux. If so, I suspect it is due to the different format that Mac and Unix use for text files like PS files. I guess you need to convert them to Unix format. If you have already done this, then try to look at the files in a text editor. In my experience transferring MAC RTF files to Unix systems frequently adds extraneous garbage at the beginning and end. You may have the same problem, if your file format is ok. HTH Henry Smith On Wed, 1 Sep 1999, Bill Simpson wrote: I have several .ps files created by a Mac that I want to include in a LyX document.

Re: .ps from Mac in LyX
OOOPS Fingers faster than the eye! G Sorry 'bout that. Looked at you included file (also did not see that!) and front and end of file seem ok to me. So my suspicion is not founded, Not enough of a PS guru to be able to say anything about your bounding box idea. I suppose you could comment it out and try it or just put in some generic numbers to see what happens. Hopefully someone else can provide more info. Again sorry for being too quick onthe trigger with my first post. HTH Regards Henry
