LyX & graphics/figure preview

LyX + Graphics
Hi, Just wondering about graphics + LyX... I do most of my graphics in MS Viso. I assume the best format is .eps ? I'm having a problem with a graphic that has some symbols (e..g, infinity symbol). They get dropped when I import the .eps into LyX Any suggestions? Thanks, Ed Sykes

Thanks for your reply. The problem is when I use a different kind of scaling, say col% - if I set it to 100% then the graphic spans the whole column.

Maintain aspect ratio is checked; moreover, the original should fit comfortably within the page margins. As a matter of fact, LyX is scaling it up not down most of the time.

Seems odd that LyX would scale up without being told to. If you export
the document to LaTeX, what does the \includegraphics command look like?
(By the way, if you define a viewer for the LaTeX file type, you can
then View->LaTeX to see without having to export.)

That's what it should be (assuming the file name is correct), so the
issue would seem to be with LaTeX (or the image file) and not with LyX.
The file name above has no extension. You indicated in your original
message that the image is a BMP file, but I think (not sure) that
includegraphics assumes EPS unless you provide an extension directly or
via a \DeclareGraphicsRule command in the preamble.
If the image file does not have an exception, does tacking .bmp on make
a difference in the result?

Re: LyX Graphics Distorted
You're right, it is a BMP file but the LaTeX code does not have an extension
assocaited with te file. In LyX the file does have bmp as an extension, it's
the LaTeX output which doesn't. Where do you suggest I add the "bmp"? I
tried exporting it to LaTeX, adding the .bmp there and reimporting it with
the same result...
Thanks.

LyX Graphics Distorted
Hi, I'm using Lyx 1.4.3-4 for Windows. Anyway, when I insert add a graphic (bmp to be specific) it looks fine under the editor itself, however, all the outputs (dvi and pfd) the graphics are resized and distorted. I haven't changed any of the values from the default (scaling is at 100%). What am I missing? Cheers, /Fuad
