  You should define a transparency mask for your image. The transparency
mask is a gray scale image. More or less you should write something as
this:

...
\pgfdeclaremask{MyMask}{Mask}
\pgfimage[mask=Mask]{MyImage}
...

 MyMask and MyImage are the transparency mask and your image,
respectively, both in a image format used by beamer.

imagemagick version suitable for lyx win32 xp

2004-10-04 Thread Philip A. Viton
With some help from the IM bugs people, there's now a fix for the cropping 
problem in IM 6.0.8 . It involves 2 steps

1. Move the name of the source file to the beginning of the arguments list 
(so:  convert myfile.ps  )

2. After the -crop 0x0 add +repage (separated by the previous and next 
arguments by at least 1 space).  Note that this is +repage not -repage.

The cropping problem also affected unix builds of IM. I had originally 
encountered it in connection with Eitan Gurari's TeX4ht converter. Eitan 
has now updated his distribution (note: the update distribution, not the 
base one) to incorporate these changes. I don't know if this fix will deal 
with  the other problem(s) noted in this thread, but it's worth a try.

It's even worse than that. If you really want to see all the corner

Nah. 1.4 is months off, not least because none of us are devoting much time
to fixing its bugs. Or indeed, to doing very much to the sources at all.
History suggests that that will change eventually.

Hello,

I know this is probably being pedantic :-) but in a situation where you have

Thanks

Take a look at 
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=bibandhl=enlr=ie=UTF-8group=comp.text.texselm=3C96E59E.5060908%40sun.ac.zarnum=1. 
 The author hacked up his own bibliography style (.bst) file, and the 
lines you are looking for are these:

 \newcommand{\BIBand}{% % makebst
\ifbibenv{and}\else\textit{\}\fi}
You might try adding that to your document preamble (you can get delete 
the '% makebst' comment).  I'm not sure, but I think you may also have 
to use custom-bib (makebst) to create a customized .bst file.  One of 
the things it prompts you for is the separator before the last author. 
To use this trick, you'll want to select \BIBand, which is one of the 
choices.  The catch is that \BIBand (which I think defaults to \) would 
be used in both the citations and the bibliography entries without the 
fix above.

Bruce,
  If you want to learn the subtleties of the ellipsis in all its glory, 
read
the appropriate section in The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition. What it 
comes
down to is differing views of what's proper under which circumstances. 
For
example, in my book I used \textelllipsis but I was told by
Springer-Verlag's TeXpert to use \ldots instead.

  The differences are both very subtle and of no interest to me. If
Springer-Verlag wants \ldots in their monographs rather than 
\textellipsis,
then \ldots is what they get.

  There are even more variants, IIRC. Read about them and pick the one 
you
like best.

HTH,
Rich

This a well known problem of LaTeX. It is described in the book The 
LaTeX Companion Second Edition in chap. 3.1.2.
The command \ldots, that LyX uses for an ellipsis, produces more space 
after the ellipsis to have enough space before a punctuation character 
or the next word.

How do I get an ellipsis with the proper spacing fore and aft?
To have an ellipsis with balanced spaces, define a new command \lips in 
the preamble with

\newcommand{\lips}{\dots\unkern}
and use it instead of LyX's ellipsis.
An example is attached.

imagemagick version suitable for lyx win32 xp

2004-10-04 Thread Philip A. Viton
With some help from the IM bugs people, there's now a fix for the cropping 
problem in IM 6.0.8 . It involves 2 steps

1. Move the name of the source file to the beginning of the arguments list 
(so:  convert myfile.ps  )

2. After the -crop 0x0 add +repage (separated by the previous and next 
arguments by at least 1 space).  Note that this is +repage not -repage.

The cropping problem also affected unix builds of IM. I had originally 
encountered it in connection with Eitan Gurari's TeX4ht converter. Eitan 
has now updated his distribution (note: the update distribution, not the 
base one) to incorporate these changes. I don't know if this fix will deal 
with  the other problem(s) noted in this thread, but it's worth a try.

Nah. 1.4 is months off, not least because none of us are devoting much time

History suggests that that will change eventually.

Take a look at

 The author hacked up his own bibliography style (.bst) file, and the 
lines you are looking for are these:

 \newcommand{\BIBand}{% % makebst
\ifbibenv{and}\else\textit{\}\fi}
You might try adding that to your document preamble (you can get delete 
the '% makebst' comment).  I'm not sure, but I think you may also have 
to use custom-bib (makebst) to create a customized .bst file.  One of 
the things it prompts you for is the separator before the last author. 
To use this trick, you'll want to select \BIBand, which is one of the 
choices.  The catch is that \BIBand (which I think defaults to \) would 
be used in both the citations and the bibliography entries without the 
fix above.

Bruce,
  If you want to learn the subtleties of the ellipsis in all its glory, 
read
the appropriate section in The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition. What it 
comes
down to is differing views of what's proper under which circumstances. 
For
example, in my book I used \textelllipsis but I was told by
Springer-Verlag's TeXpert to use \ldots instead.

  The differences are both very subtle and of no interest to me. If
Springer-Verlag wants \ldots in their monographs rather than 
\textellipsis,
then \ldots is what they get.

  There are even more variants, IIRC. Read about them and pick the one 
you
like best.

This a well known problem of LaTeX. It is described in the book The 
LaTeX Companion Second Edition in chap. 3.1.2.
The command \ldots, that LyX uses for an ellipsis, produces more space 
after the ellipsis to have enough space before a punctuation character 
or the next word.

How do I get an ellipsis with the proper spacing fore and aft?
To have an ellipsis with balanced spaces, define a new command \lips in 
the preamble with

\newcommand{\lips}{\dots\unkern}
and use it instead of LyX's ellipsis.
An example is attached.

 MyMask and MyImage are the transparency mask and your image,

No you don't see the release. You see a file that will be part of the 
LyX 1.3.5 release and which contains the text that will be used to 
broadcast this release to the appropriate media. Usually, the 
contents of this file are sent to the lyx-users list, to slashdot, to 
LWN and, indeed, to a number of other groups that I can't remember of 
the top of my head.

You will see from the revision information of this file that it has 
already gone through 12 separate modifications since the release of 
LyX 1.3.4. No doubt it will go through a couple more yet...

None that I know about.

It's even worse than that. If you really want to see all the corner
cases you need to look at the TeX sources. Knuth himself admits in the
TeXBook that he isn't always telling the exact truth in the book. And
believe me, he indeed isn't... 

However, the TeXBook gives you a pretty good idea on the rough working
of TeX's interna. And possibly some impressions of the fine line between
genius and insanity...

Nah. 1.4 is months off, not least because none of us are devoting much time
to fixing its bugs. Or indeed, to doing very much to the sources at all.
History suggests that that will change eventually.

Re: Changing the format of two author citations

Hello,
I am using the natbib package to produce Author-Year citations. The problem
I've got is that two author citations are produced as:

How can I change it so that in my final document I've got:
(Bush & Saddam, 2003)  instead?
I know this is probably being pedantic :-) but in a situation where you have
say 5 sets of two-author citations together, the latter seems to be nicer if
no less a potent combination. ;-)
Thanks
Isa

Take a look at 
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=biband=en==UTF-8=comp.text.tex=3C96E59E.5060908%40sun.ac.za=1. 
 The author hacked up his own bibliography style (.bst) file, and the 
lines you are looking for are these:

 \newcommand{\BIBand}{% % makebst
\ifbibenv{and}\else\textit{\&}\fi}
You might try adding that to your document preamble (you can get delete 
the '% makebst' comment).  I'm not sure, but I think you may also have 
to use custom-bib (makebst) to create a customized .bst file.  One of 
the things it prompts you for is the separator before the last author. 
To use this trick, you'll want to select \BIBand, which is one of the 
choices.  The catch is that \BIBand (which I think defaults to \&) would 
be used in both the citations and the bibliography entries without the 
fix above.

write into the preamble of the document

Bruce,
  If you want to learn the subtleties of the ellipsis in all its glory, 
read
the appropriate section in "The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition". What it 
comes
down to is differing views of what's proper under which circumstances. 
For
example, in my book I used \textelllipsis but I was told by
Springer-Verlag's TeXpert to use \ldots instead.

  The differences are both very subtle and of no interest to me. If
Springer-Verlag wants \ldots in their monographs rather than 
\textellipsis,
then \ldots is what they get.

  There are even more variants, IIRC. Read about them and pick the one 
you
like best.

HTH,
Rich

This a well known problem of LaTeX. It is described in the book "The 
LaTeX Companion Second Edition" in chap. 3.1.2.
The command \ldots, that LyX uses for an ellipsis, produces more space 
after the ellipsis to have enough space before a punctuation character 
or the next word.

How do I get an ellipsis with the proper spacing fore and aft?
To have an ellipsis with balanced spaces, define a new command \lips in 
the preamble with

\newcommand{\lips}{\dots\unkern}
and use it instead of LyX's ellipsis.
An example is attached.

Well, never heard about a letter rau, there is \rho, \varrho, \theta and
\vartheta however.

 \varrho\ne\rho\,\textrm{and}\,\vartheta\ne\theta
