PDFLatex and psfrag
Hi, I am using the psfrag package to modify the text included in graphics. When I use pdflatex from Lyx (2.0 beta 5), the psfrag modifications are not take into account, while when I use postscript there are no problem. When I use ps2pdf, I have another problem because Lyx (in fact latex) says that it cannot determine the size of the graphic. Any idea ? Thanks. -- Dr. Ir.

psfrag does nothing when generating a pdf-file
Hi all,
I want to replace strings in *.eps files with LaTeX code, so I finally
found psfrag, downloaded it and its working fine - but only when I
generate a DVI file. (inserted ERT in the figure and \usepackage{psfrag}
to the preamble)
I need a pdf, but when I run pdflatex, there is no error or warning, but
no result. It just happens nothing, text strings in eps stay the way
they were. dvipdfm and ps2pdf buttons produce LaTeX formula at the side
of the graphic, but still strings are not replaced.
I've been searching the maillist archive, but did not find a solution
for my special problem.
Can anyone help me?
I use latest LyX and MiKTex versions on windows XP.

Hard to say, as I do not see any problematic character in the ERT.
Some ideas for finding the problem:
* Mark the psfrag ERT inset and choose InsertNoteNote to make a
(yellow) LyX note out of it. Does the error vanish?
Alternatively, copy and paste the graphic to a new document and test this.
* Export to LaTeX and run latex on it from the shell - the error output

* Have a look at the encodings declaration under DocumentSettingsLanguage
Does this match also included text documents (e.g. the bibliography

LyX, SVG and PSFrag: case report
Hi everybody! I want to report the results of my experiments in combining SVG figures and the PSFrag package in LyX, hoping that they will be useful to somebody. The point was to draw a SVG figure in, say, Inkscape and insert it directly into LyX without converting it to EPS first, to skip a step in producing a document while having an instant preview within LyX. I also wanted to be able to select View - PostScript and have LyX automatically produce the EPS file from the SVG and include any LaTeX code I wanted via PSFrag. I followed the advice in these two pages: [1] http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/UseInkscapeSVGImages [2] http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/stirling/computergeek/latexgraphics.html Result: It works. Kind of. I managed to get LyX to accept SVG figures and SVG to EPS conversion without any problem by following the info in [1]. Everything works as advertised (although the PDF conversion gives ugly figures sometimes). The problem is when I want to use PSFrag. I found three problems: 1. The info in [1] is wrong; to convert SVG to EPS, you have to disable the convert text to path function in Inkscape or your text will be exported as a picture. Do *not* use the--export-text-to-path switch with Inkscape. 2. Automatic inclusion of LaTeX code via PSFrag fails, and I don't know why. Inkscape converts SVG to EPS correctly; if you insert manually these EPS files in your LyX document, PSFrag works perfectly. The problem is when you insert the original SVG in LyX and expect it to handle the conversion by itself (which is the whole point of doing all this!); in this case, the final document shows the text anchors instead of the LaTeX code whatever I do. I am still looking into this. 3. A minor but annoying issue is that, while the PS documentis OK, when using Veiw-PDF, the figures look very degraded (and no PSFrag, of course). I am still looking into this. Hope all this is useful to somebody. Has anybody tried to do this? Did it work? I am specially annoyed at problem (2), because I have the feeling that it'd work with just a little tweak somewhere. Am I missing something, or is there a problem with the interaction between LyX, PSFrag and Inkscape? Yours, - Urtzi - -- If you would know the value of money, go try to borrow some. -- Ben Franklin

How to use PSfrag within LyX?
HI everybody, I routinely use PSfrag to embed complex mathematical expressions in EPS figures. I'd like to use it under LyX too, but I can't find a place in the figure float dialogs to enter the tag-to-formula definitions PSfrag needs. So I usually have to export my documento to LaTeX and work with the code by hand. Not that I mind terribly, but I'd very much like to be able to produce the whole document with a single program. Can I do this under LyX? ERT insets would be OK, but I wonder if one can do it the LyX way, just with the GUI options.

You can only replace the whole string, e.g. you should use
\psfrag{10 G1m}{$10\mu m$}
BTW, if you want to see the replacement in lyx you can do
\psfrag{10 G1m}{
in ERT, then write the replacement in normal text or math, and then
}
in ERT again. Since this looks like 10 micrometer you could also have a
look at the siunits package.
