Re: Sweave with beamer
Hello Kevin,
Having accidentally performed a search on beamer in my email archives,
I ran across one post on the R Mailing List that might prove of
interest [1].
As to the files you sent in off-list, I reconfigured and made LyX
aware of the new .layout files. However, LyX generates an error when
opening my-beamer-ex-sweave.lyx:
The layout file requested by this document,
literate-slides-beamer.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.
I use TeXLive as backend for LyX 1.5.4, on Gentoo Linux. I also have
dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.07 installed, with the lyx USE flag enabled. To
make sure, I also performed a TeX rehash followed by a LyX
reconfigure; no visible changes, though. In order to make Sweave
interact with LyX, I did not use Gregor Gorjanc's approach. What do
you think I could be missing on my system in order to at least
successfully open the document?

Hello LyXers -
I have been using Gregor Gorjanc's literate-

(http://gregor.gorjanc.googlepages.com/lyx-sweave

Lately, I have been trying to get Sweave to work with beamer through
LyX. To start, I modified literate-article.layout for beamer and added
it to layouts (I'm on OS X, so this is inside LyX.app):

custom document language
Hello! I tried to find info about this topic, without much success... How can I pick a language for a document not included in the drop-down menu from LyX? I want to typeset a document in a language not included, and I can't figure out how to include it. Please notice that I don't want to ADD a custom language to a preset one: I want to use a language not included in the menu as the only and main language. Thanks in advance, Luis.

You don't need to add this preamble stuff to your layout file. When
you specify ' \DeclareLaTeXClass[article,csthesis.sty]{article
(sfuthesis)}' you are already telling LyX that you want it to use
csthesis.sty. I don't even know if you can add preamble stuff in this
manner.
Just wanted to correct myself. Sorry, you're right, adding the
Preamble stuff to the layout file eliminates the need to specify the
package within LyX as is clearly stated in the LyX Help-Customization
Section 5.2.2.
Although your layout file should still end in '.layout'.

I hope I solved, at least for now, by changing the "destination" of the default page. Now it no longer points to "LyX.Welcome", but to "LyX.LyX", which is more like the portal page you described. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
Re: Sweave with beamer
Hello Kevin,
Having accidentally performed a search on beamer in my email archives,
I ran across one post on the R Mailing List that might prove of
interest [1].
As to the files you sent in off-list, I reconfigured and made LyX
aware of the new .layout files. However, LyX generates an error when
opening my-beamer-ex-sweave.lyx:
"The layout file requested by this document,
literate-slides-beamer.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output."
I use TeXLive as backend for LyX 1.5.4, on Gentoo Linux. I also have
dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.07 installed, with the lyx USE flag enabled. To
make sure, I also performed a TeX rehash followed by a LyX
reconfigure; no visible changes, though. In order to make Sweave
interact with LyX, I did not use Gregor Gorjanc's approach. What do
you think I could be missing on my system in order to at least
successfully open the document?

Very well thought out and crafted. Any of them will do everyone proud. I agree, I like all of them! It's neat how the platypus is sort of sitting on the blue bar on #4. Number #1 is neat since the stack of papers to me is related to LyX being a document processor. And #3 is clean and elegant. And #2 is growing on me, so I'll refrain from voting, they're all good. If there's no clear favourite, we can just switch between splash screens for the next few releases like Adobe Photoshop did. What about a real platypus? See http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SplashScreen Mael.
custom document language
Hello! I tried to find info about this topic, without much success... How can I pick a language for a document not included in the drop-down menu from LyX? I want to typeset a document in a language not included, and I can't figure out how to include it. Please notice that I don't want to ADD a custom language to a preset one: I want to use a language not included in the menu as the only and main language. Thanks in advance, Luis.

Just wanted to correct myself. Sorry, you're right, adding the
Preamble stuff to the layout file eliminates the need to specify the
package within LyX as is clearly stated in the LyX Help->Customization
Section 5.2.2.
Although your layout file should still end in '.layout'.

Yes, see section 19.4 of the math manual that comes with LyX 1.5.4.

Automatic reload PDF?
Is there someway to automatically reload the PDF after compiling in LyX? I know that Kpdf supports this feature but I use gnome and would like to avoid using KDE software. I have tried a latex plugin for gedit: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/LaTeXPlugin When compiling .tex files the PDF is automatically updated/reloaded using evince even though it does not support reload by default. I am not sure how they have made this work but maybe the same procedure is possible for LyX. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Automatic-reload-PDF--tp16376629p16376629.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

In my opinion we should stick to one logotype, not a platypus combined with a mascot. Even with an additional photo people won't understand the connection anyway. The mascot just doesn't look like a platypus. Joost

Go to Tools -> Preferences... -> Converters, select LaTeX (pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex), modify the entry in the 'converter' line to run your script, then click Modify and then Save. If you don't want to run your script every time you use pdflatex, you can go to Tools -> Preferences... -> File formats, create a new format, name it something like PDF (my way), then go to Converters and create a converter for it. /Paul
