Problem importing EPS-File

Post by rabe »

Hi all,

i am starting to use LyX 1.6.4 de to write process documentation.

I have to build the process-charts in microsoft visio. To use it in LyX i print the chart with Metafile to EPS Converter into
example.eps http://berlau.de/example.zip

Open the EPS in Adobe Illustrator shows the EPS as example.png

You can see that the white place for the diagramm has the right size but the diagramm is starting in the middle of it and cut near the top half of the diagramm.

Whats the problem?
Any Hints?

kind regards
ralf

The bounding box of the EPS file is not correct. Use the PNG file and choose PDF output in LyX.


Best regards and welcome to the board
