Re: Wrong conversion of SVG for LyX inline display?
Well, I think there must be 2 steps of conversion - one for displaying the image in LyX and one for the DVI output. -- Is that right? When I use SVG as source format, which conversions take place for which situation? What is the preferred format for LyX and for DVI output? I thought (might be somehow wrong): For DVI output, an EPS is required, therefore the SVG-EPS converter. For LyX display, PNG is required, therefore SVG-PNG converter. Nevertheless, Lyx also displays the image without the PNG conversion listet, but there is a difference. With the PNG conversion, the background is the same as the window background, without it is white. Can anybody explain, which conversion applies in which situation? Thanks! Cz.

Re: Wrong conversion of SVG for LyX inline display?
Ok, I think I got it (after a while *gg*) I could also figure out why the images seemed to be cropped properly an newer images were not: The first images were created with gnumeric which adopts the canvas size -- and the newer images have a canvas of A4, therefore the large area to display in lyx... DVI output was always fine because EPS does not know a thing like the canvas. So would like to thank the list members for their help and explanations ... and for their patience! Cz.
