LyX ⇒ TIKZ instant preview in Lyx does not work

[Manfred]

Hello,

I have a simple TIKZ-Code in Lyx:

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw[red] (0,0) -- (1,1);
    \draw[red] (1,0) -- (0,1);
   \draw[blue] (0,0) rectangle (1,1);
\end{tikzpicture}

The output in pdf works perfectly.
However, the instant preview in Lyx does not work. Choosing "Insert-Preview" creates only a new "box" around the source-Code.

(but the preview of a math formula works, see screenshot)

Any idea for a solution (I am working with LyX Version 2.1.5)?

Thank you!

Manfred

Works for me with LyX version 2.3.0dev and with 2.2.x, on Ubuntu. I think this was fixed after 2.1.x. You might consider upgrading LyX when 2.3.1 is released (in a few months). That would be a good time. Make sure you always backup your documents before you upgrade and edit with newer versions of LyX.

Thank you

update of Lyx AND MiKTeX solved the problem!
