Modifying bibliography page headers to be lowercase
Hi everyone, I'm using LyX to write up my Thesis and was wondering if there is a simple way to make the BIBLIOGRAPHY text appear as Bibliography in the top right heading of all the bibliography pages. I'm using the report document class, the fancy page style, and the unsrt bibliography style. I've tried playing with the \chaptermark and \rhead commands to no avail. The only technique that I've managed to find documented on the internet involves redefining the \thebibliography command, which seems a bit unnecessary. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Tim

Autoscaling figures on print-out/export?
Dear LyX-ers, here is my second post seeking for an answer concerning the way that figures are printed-out (in a pdf let's say). Most of my images which I have put in floats exceed the page margins I have set. Isn't there any autoscaling option? Could or is there a way to check all figures in the document and get a warning like figure XYZ will exceed the current page margins? If this is really a limitation then one needs to measure the resolution/size of the image(s) that needs to paste in the document (?). Thank you, Nikos

No representative sample ;-) ugh. is this waiting done by cpu usage or swapping? i just nearly freezed my box from swapping trying to reproduce the problem. just took ~100 pictures i played little bit with resizing them. finally after kill -9 of lyx instance i had only little memory. top showed that X server consumes several hundres of mb. i remember we have some kind of such report in bugzilla. bouncing to devel. pavel
Modifying bibliography page headers to be lowercase
Hi everyone, I'm using LyX to write up my Thesis and was wondering if there is a simple way to make the "BIBLIOGRAPHY" text appear as "Bibliography" in the top right heading of all the bibliography pages. I'm using the "report" document class, the "fancy" page style, and the "unsrt" bibliography style. I've tried playing with the "\chaptermark" and "\rhead" commands to no avail. The only technique that I've managed to find documented on the internet involves redefining the "\thebibliography" command, which seems a bit unnecessary. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Tim
Location of packages
I am trying to Lyx a file, but I am getting the error: *Latex error: File 'xcolor.sty' not found.* I have placed the xcolor.sty file in a folder a folder called xcolor in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/xcolor I ran texconfigure and texhash. I am running Kubuntu 8.04 with tex-live How do I make it known to Lyx and Latex that the file is actually where it is supposed to be? Thanks, E. Kaplan
Autoscaling figures on print-out/export?
Dear LyX-ers, here is my second post seeking for an answer concerning the way that figures are "printed-out" (in a pdf let's say). Most of my images which I have put in floats exceed the page margins I have set. Isn't there any autoscaling option? Could or is there a way to check all figures in the document and get a warning like "figure XYZ will exceed the current page margins"? If this is really a limitation then one needs to measure the resolution/size of the image(s) that needs to paste in the document (?). Thank you, Nikos

It was not so clear to me in the beginning and I did not find any exact reference for these settings in the User's guide, the Extended, the Tutorial, the FAQ... but I missed the Embedded Objects!

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that the bibliography environment in report redefines the page style itself, which is why your attempts all fail. If so, then there are limits to what you can do without getting deep into the LaTeX, e.g., using \renewenvironment to undo whatever report.cls is doing. But that can be done, and it isn't really that hard. You just have to copy the declaration from report.cls and modify it as you wish. rh

I'm guessing it does not. You may need to re-run texhash. Did you do so as root? Only root can modify the ls-R files for the system directories. rh
