Re: seminar bug, geometry and a4paper

seminar.cls has a bug that prevents proper working with the a4paper

the seminar and prosper packages are still buggy.
The bug prevents use of seminar as doctype from LyX together with the
geometry package and a4 option, as LyX inserts:
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,a4paper,tmargin=1cm,bmargin=1cm,lmargin=2cm,rmargin=2cm}
and subsequentely, LaTeX reports an ! Undefined control sequence. error
I wonder, whether the prosper package built on seminar is affected too...
As seminar.cls is no longer maintained by the author, fixing it upstream
is nontrivial. I filed a bug to the the Debian maintainer of tetex-extra
Frank Küster and got a prompt response inclusive improved patch:
I do not think that this is the right way to create a special
package for LyX. You also can insert these lines into the
preamble without doing it from inside LyX.

Re: Gnuplot External Material
On Saturday 06 December 2003 04:16, Dave Tweten wrote: Thank you all for attempting to enlighten me. Even the suggestions I didn't follow helped me understand the alternatives. I said: ... will I have to figure out the syntax well enough to roll my own? I decided to roll my own. The reason is the attraction of making LyX work off the gnuplot file instead of the *.eps file, with the associated risk that the *.eps file will become out-of-date. My strategy is as follows: 1. Cat the last attachment on this message and lib/external_templates to ~/.lyx/external_templates. Unfortunately, LyX only supports substitution for lib/external_templates, not additions to it. That means I get to cat again every time I upgrade LyX (groan). The code changed in this area but I don't know how, in 1.4.0cvs 2. Put copies of the previous two attachments, eps.gnuplot and ascii.gnuplot into any directory that contains Gnuplot plot files. My solution for this problem is a script that wraps the call to gnuplot, and adds the necessary declaration for output. Usually I enter also a preamble with some of the default values for my drawings. 3. Make each Gnuplot plot file (*.gnu) self-contained. It should contain all commands and all data required to create the plot. LyX will be tracking the plot files. If they only contain commands and the data are elsewhere, changes in data won't cause LyX to remake the *.eps file (or the ASCII text). An example is the first attachment to this message. Since I sometimes use long data files for graphics this is not always handy. While at it, I discovered a buglet in $$Sysdir/scripts/general_command_wrap per.py. The statement that prints the redirection message left out a blank before the file name: --- general_command_wrapper.py.orig Thu Nov 13 14:40:21 2003 +++ general_command_wrapper.py Fri Dec 5 15:24:21 2003 @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ os.close(0) sys.stdin = open(sys.argv[1],r) if sys.argv[2] != -: - print Redirecting + sys.argv[2] + print Redirecting + sys.argv[2] os.close(1) os.close(2) sys.stdout = open(sys.argv[2],w) I fixed that at my tree for 1.3.x and I will commit it soon, for 1.4 that file is no more. :-) Some things I don't like: 1. Eps.gnuplot and ascii.gnuplot should not exist. There ought to be a way to tell Gnuplot to select a terminal type from the command line. I don't the way. That is why I prefer the wrapper. :-) 2. So what is the standard file name extension of Gnuplot command files? I used *.gnu, but Richard Stallman might have other ideas about what that extension should be used for. Interestingly in some of their examples they use .plt I have been using gnp, but I guess that it is a question of personal taste here. :-) 3. I only care about the LaTeX format. I didn't test Ascii, DocBook, and LinuxDoc. Should there be others? No. Any comments or criticisms will be appreciated. With the wrapper you don't need to use inset external. You can gnuplot to the graphic supported formats. :-) -- José Abílio LyX and docbook, a perfect match. :-)

LyX shows (#) for every row, but the multline enviromnet has only a number
in the last line.

The second example shows a multline environment with pairs of parentheses
which are going over several lines:

Re: documentclass: seminar
Hello List, Apparently there are problems with the documentclass seminar and a4-paparsize, though I haven't solved them I#ve found something out that might be helpful for somebody who needs his slides prindet and doesn't bother if its a bit unconvenient, so there are two things: 1. Lyx calls dvips with the option -t a4 - don't ask me why 'cause I don't know; that's just what the pop-up-window tells. 2. If one exports the foo.dvi file and does dvips foo.dvi in a shell without any options (especially without -t a4), he'll get a file foo.ps, which is printable on a4-paper - though without pagenumbers - and again: don't ask me why 'cause I don't know. In this way it worked with my system (rh9, lyx-1.3.3). Would be nice if somebody could explain why it works in this way and tell us if there's a way to call dvips without the option -t a4 within lyx (why is this option there anyway, if it works without it, too?) -Hope this helps anybody (even if it's no real solution to the problem) Ciao -Kai

Re: seminar bug, geometry and a4paper

seminar.cls has a bug that prevents proper working with the a4paper

the seminar and prosper packages are still buggy.
The bug prevents use of seminar as doctype from LyX together with the
geometry package and a4 option, as LyX inserts:
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,a4paper,tmargin=1cm,bmargin=1cm,lmargin=2cm,rmargin=2cm}
and subsequentely, LaTeX reports an ! Undefined control sequence. error
I wonder, whether the prosper package built on seminar is affected too...
As seminar.cls is no longer maintained by the author, fixing it upstream
is nontrivial. I filed a bug to the the Debian maintainer of tetex-extra
Frank Küster and got a prompt response inclusive improved patch:
I do not think that this is the right way to create a special
package for LyX. You also can insert these lines into the

Re: Gnuplot External Material
On Saturday 06 December 2003 04:16, Dave Tweten wrote: Thank you all for attempting to enlighten me. Even the suggestions I didn't follow helped me understand the alternatives. I said: ... will I have to figure out the syntax well enough to roll my own? I decided to roll my own. The reason is the attraction of making LyX work off the gnuplot file instead of the *.eps file, with the associated risk that the *.eps file will become out-of-date. My strategy is as follows: 1. Cat the last attachment on this message and lib/external_templates to ~/.lyx/external_templates. Unfortunately, LyX only supports substitution for lib/external_templates, not additions to it. That means I get to cat again every time I upgrade LyX (groan). The code changed in this area but I don't know how, in 1.4.0cvs 2. Put copies of the previous two attachments, eps.gnuplot and ascii.gnuplot into any directory that contains Gnuplot plot files. My solution for this problem is a script that wraps the call to gnuplot, and adds the necessary declaration for output. Usually I enter also a preamble with some of the default values for my drawings. 3. Make each Gnuplot plot file (*.gnu) self-contained. It should contain all commands and all data required to create the plot. LyX will be tracking the plot files. If they only contain commands and the data are elsewhere, changes in data won't cause LyX to remake the *.eps file (or the ASCII text). An example is the first attachment to this message. Since I sometimes use long data files for graphics this is not always handy. While at it, I discovered a buglet in $$Sysdir/scripts/general_command_wrap per.py. The statement that prints the redirection message left out a blank before the file name: --- general_command_wrapper.py.orig Thu Nov 13 14:40:21 2003 +++ general_command_wrapper.py Fri Dec 5 15:24:21 2003 @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ os.close(0) sys.stdin = open(sys.argv[1],r) if sys.argv[2] != -: - print Redirecting + sys.argv[2] + print Redirecting + sys.argv[2] os.close(1) os.close(2) sys.stdout = open(sys.argv[2],w) I fixed that at my tree for 1.3.x and I will commit it soon, for 1.4 that file is no more. :-) Some things I don't like: 1. Eps.gnuplot and ascii.gnuplot should not exist. There ought to be a way to tell Gnuplot to select a terminal type from the command line. I don't the way. That is why I prefer the wrapper. :-) 2. So what is the standard file name extension of Gnuplot command files? I used *.gnu, but Richard Stallman might have other ideas about what that extension should be used for. Interestingly in some of their examples they use .plt I have been using gnp, but I guess that it is a question of personal taste here. :-) 3. I only care about the LaTeX format. I didn't test Ascii, DocBook, and LinuxDoc. Should there be others? No. Any comments or criticisms will be appreciated. With the wrapper you don't need to use inset external. You can gnuplot to the graphic supported formats. :-) -- José Abílio LyX and docbook, a perfect match. :-)

LyX shows (#) for every row, but the multline enviromnet has only a number
in the last line.

A=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\Delta x\left(a^{2}+\left(a^{2}+2a\Delta x+\left(\Delta

The second example shows a multline environment with pairs of parentheses
which are going over several lines:
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \begin{multline}

Re: documentclass: seminar
Hello List, Apparently there are problems with the documentclass seminar and a4-paparsize, though I haven't solved them I#ve found something out that might be helpful for somebody who needs his slides prindet and doesn't bother if its a bit unconvenient, so there are two things: 1. Lyx calls dvips with the option -t a4 - don't ask me why 'cause I don't know; that's just what the pop-up-window tells. 2. If one exports the foo.dvi file and does dvips foo.dvi in a shell without any options (especially without -t a4), he'll get a file foo.ps, which is printable on a4-paper - though without pagenumbers - and again: don't ask me why 'cause I don't know. In this way it worked with my system (rh9, lyx-1.3.3). Would be nice if somebody could explain why it works in this way and tell us if there's a way to call dvips without the option -t a4 within lyx (why is this option there anyway, if it works without it, too?) -Hope this helps anybody (even if it's no real solution to the problem) Ciao -Kai

Or add more details, such as the name of the math-environment that you get by pressing C-Enter. there is no error, but you still use the wrong emvironments for the problems. And in the last example you get different sizes of the equations, also no error, but looks ugly. Herbert

Re: seminar bug, geometry and a4paper
Günter Milde wrote:
seminar.cls has a bug that prevents proper working with the "a4paper"
option. (Option "a4" works).
the seminar and prosper packages are still buggy.
The bug prevents use of seminar as doctype from LyX together with the
geometry package and a4 option, as LyX inserts:
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,a4paper,tmargin=1cm,bmargin=1cm,lmargin=2cm,rmargin=2cm}
and subsequentely, LaTeX reports an "! Undefined control sequence." error
I wonder, whether the prosper package built on seminar is affected too...
As seminar.cls is no longer maintained by the author, fixing it upstream
is nontrivial. I filed a bug to the the Debian maintainer of tetex-extra
Frank Küster and got a prompt response inclusive improved patch:
I do not think that this is the right way to create a special
package for LyX. You also can insert these lines into the
preamble without doing it from inside LyX.
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,a4,tmargin=1cm,bmargin=1cm,lmargin=2cm,rmargin=2cm}

Using LyX might save you time in the long run but you will have spent sometime learning it. And you won't use it the same manner as MS Word in the end. You will also have to learn to use internet resources. One way is e.g. checking the project's home page www.lyx.org which has a download link leading to a page speaking of a Win32 port by Ruurd Reitsma. Start from there.

All you would have to do is define 1. A template. 2. A converter, eg from gnuplot to XFIG. That's essentially what your script is. -- Angus

An example for the multine environment.

:-(.
LyX shows (#) for every row, but the multline enviromnet has only a number
in the last line.
\layout Standard

A=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\Delta x\left(a^{2}+\left(a^{2}+2a\Delta x+\left(\Delta

# \DeclareLaTeXClass[g-brief]{letter (g-brief, german)}
# Letter textclass definition file.
# Author : Thomas Hartkens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# Input general definitions

Do I need to uncomment the line
# Input stdletter.inc ?
I tried another template (hollywood) but got the same error message.
Is this a debian problem or a configuration problem?
I once set the default text class to a different class than article and maybe
that's why I have this problem. Is there a way to reset all default values

Re: documentclass: seminar
Hello List, Apparently there are problems with the documentclass seminar and a4-paparsize, though I haven't solved them I#ve found something out that might be helpful for somebody who needs his slides prindet and doesn't bother if its a bit "unconvenient", so there are two things: 1. Lyx calls dvips with the option -t a4 - don't ask me why 'cause I don't know; that's just what the pop-up-window tells. 2. If one exports the foo.dvi file and does "dvips foo.dvi" in a shell without any options (especially without -t a4), he'll get a file "foo.ps", which is printable on a4-paper - though without pagenumbers - and again: don't ask me why 'cause I don't know. In this way it worked with my system (rh9, lyx-1.3.3). Would be nice if somebody could explain why it works in this way and tell us if there's a way to call dvips without the option "-t a4" within lyx (why is this option there anyway, if it works without it, too?) -Hope this helps anybody (even if it's no "real" solution to the problem) Ciao -Kai
Switching from the Math panel window to the document window
Hi all, Maybe my question is only related to the way I would like to use Lyx, instead of beeing related to Lyx usage: when I'm writing equations, after pressing a button on the Math panel I would like to switch automatically from it to the document window without explicitly clicking on the document window itself, so reducing the number of times I have to use to mouse. Is there any way to do that? I'm using Lyx 1.3.2 on Mandrake 9.1. Thanks a lot, Riccardo. Ps. This list is great, most questions are answered only by browsing the threads!
