PSTricks at LyX (via pdflatex)

Question

I'm using LyX (at Windows) and I'm trying to get pdf file output while I have PSTricks code (I put as \ERT.
I Try to write at the preamble things like: \usepackage[off]{auto-pst-pdf} and \usepackage[pdf]{pstricks}, but it still don't compile to pdf file output. (also ps4pdf doesn't help...).

Can you tell me how can I do it?

Thank you!

the problem is the missing optional argument -shell-escape for pdflatex. You can add it with Tools->Setup->File->Converter->LaTeX (pdflatex)

enter image description here

Then you need only in the preamble

\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\usepackage{pstricks}

and, of course, but the PSTricks stuff into the pspicture environment:

\begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(1,1)
\pscircle(0,0){1}
\end{pspicture}

However, using xelatex instead makes it easier, no need for package auto-pst-pdf

maybe that it doesn't save the option. Reconfigure and restart LyX and have a look. If the option is not present, then there is a problem with LyX. Under Linux the option is saved in ~/lyx/lyxrc.default You can edit also this file. – Jan 09 '14 at 12:04

Still, id doesn't work...:-( – heblyx Jan 09 '14 at 13:28
Give more information. Is the option set if you open the setuo menu? – Jan 09 '14 at 14:02
@Hrebert, yes... – heblyx Jan 09 '14 at 14:47

ok, then try \usepackage[crop=off]{auto-pst-pdf}. Maybe you have no Perl installed. – Jan 09 '14 at 14:48
Not, it still doesn't compile...... – heblyx Jan 09 '14 at 15:09
At dvi (ctrl+d is fine...). – heblyx Jan 09 '14 at 15:10
Before the shell it should be - or --?? – heblyx Jan 09 '14 at 15:13
--shell-escape or -shell-escape makes no difference – Jan 09 '14 at 15:34
So what can sole the problem? can you have any idea? (If this helps, I writing at Hebrew mode (an Hebrew article). – heblyx Jan 09 '14 at 17:49
post your LyX document for a download then I'll test it. – Jan 09 '14 at 18:33
How do i post it? – heblyx Jan 09 '14 at 18:37
see my edited answer. The pspicture environment is missing. – Jan 09 '14 at 19:07
