[Gretl-devel] slightly OT: gnuplot output in Lyx

Hi, for people who use Lyx to write their papers and spread the results they got with gretl, I found this new feature in the upcoming Lyx version interesting: " * LyX now supports insertion and automated conversion of Gnuplot scripts, recognized by their typical extension ".gp" or ".gnuplot". These can directly be inserted in a LyX document using the "Insert->Graphics..." dialog, then selecting the Gnuplot script. LyX automatically adds a proper "set terminal ..." and "set output ..." line to convert the file to the needed output format (e.g., .eps, .pdf), depending on whether the document is being previewed on screen or compiled as PDF or other formats. Terminal options cannot be fine-tuned at the moment, but that's a capability that may come soon, also according to the received feedback from users. " So in the future you might produce the gnuplot plots with gretl, and then you might be able to apply small edits directly within your Lyx document, instead of having to go back to gretl/gnuplot just for some cosmetic stuff. Let's see how well this works in practice! cheers, sven
