Re: ACM

[Julio Rojas]

Sorry Uwe, I never meant to point the problem towards tex2lyx. As a
matter of fact, I had a bad problem with my texlive installation, due
to some files left over the /etc/texmf/updmap.d folder that didn't let
me make the upgrades needed to render the PDF. I have solved the
problem of the fonts and I will download the new version of the
layout.

The only worrying point is that LyX never reported the fonts problem
while rendering the PDF. The PDF was rendered, but as the file sent to
the list show, it was badly generated. I tried compiling the tex file
by hand and the fonts problem was shown as messages. Why could this
happen?

 Why do you think this is related to tex2lyx? You haven't used tex2lyx and
 tex2lyx is a program of its own.

 I just updated the layout and template file you find at

Hyperlinked cross-references inside PDF documents?

In the meantime, can someone please tell me if it's possible

Picture's background

[Ralt]

Hi,

I'm quite new to LyX, and I have so searched a lot in documentation. But it
hasn't helped me to know how to have a specific picture as background (JPEG,
PNG, w/e). So it's maybe very easy, if so I'm sorry, but I haven't found.

Can you please explain?

Regards,
Ralt.

Yes, you just have to use the hyperref package. There will be native 
support for this in 1.6. In 1.5, you have to include it manually in the 
preamble. There must be stuff on the wiki about this.

Different page margins in one document

[Daniel Klein]

Hi everybody,

I would like to have different page margins in the table section of my

I added this before the Table section in ERT

\setlength{\evensidemargin}{-1cm}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-1cm}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{2cm}

Unfortunately only everything else but the caption width adjusts. Any
suggestions to make the caption to adjust, too? Thanks in advance

Can you suggest a good way to draw pictures with latex code?

[Erez Yerushalmi]

Hi All,

I'm an intermediate lyx user (1.5.5, windows).
So far, I draw various pictures on MS PowerPoint, convert to jpg, and
finally import to my LyX document.


For example, see jpg drawing I've attached.

However, this is bad since Power Point is not good for math.
It would also be much easier to just copy and paste my LyX/latex code into
the PowerPoint presentation if possible.

Can anyone suggest a good drawing program?
Can Beamer do this??  I haven't used it yet (I admit).

Go to LyX - Document - Settings - Language and set the encoding to utf8x

Re: Can you suggest a good way to draw pictures with latex code?

Another possibility is to use Dia. In Dia, you can write latex
formulas in text boxes, and then you export them as Metapost macros
(mp). You then use metapost (mpost) to generate eps files (metapost
saves them with extensions .1, .2, etc, but then you simply rename
them to .eps and import them in Lyx).

 @Erez: Inkscape http://www.inkscape.org is a vector drawing program. It can
 generate .eps figures you can easily embed in you document (and they are
 resolution independent).

 Another great feature of Inkscape that makes it great tool for mathematical
 figures is it's ability (via plugins) to embed LaTeX formulas in the figures
 (great for labels).

Lyx 1.5.6 Strange error message using wrong format by href

[Yegor Yefremov]

Hello,

if I try to view PDF (pdflatex) from this lyx-file I get the following 
message:


Lyx: Cannot view file
File does not exist: ..latex_error.pdf

I had the same problem in my document. At first I couldn't figure out 
what is the reason for that error, till I examined the Document-LaTeX 
Log and found out, that \href parameter had wrong format. At this point 
I would expect to get normal Lyx/Latex syntax error, but not the error 
message showing the consequences of the syntax error. Does Lyx 1.6 
behave in the same way?


I'm using Lyx 1.5.6 on Windows with Miktex 2.7

Yegor

If you want to draw / code technical drawings and plots try tikz / pgf. It
will work well with beamer because both packages are done by the same
author, Till Tantau.

Look  http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/ to see what you can do with
tikz

The documentation is very good and the syntax is nice.

Similar to tikz / pgf but older, pstricks is quite popular and well
documented. 

You have also Asymptote.

Setting two character styles at once

I'm currently writing up a document and I'm trying to do something
relatively simple (considering what else I've done :).

I'd like to write text that is both in the typewriter face and bolded.
Using LyX, what I end up with is:

and the resulting output is in typewriter style but not bolded. Is there
any way to do both?

Hi,

I'm quite new to LyX, and I have so searched a lot in documentation. But 
it
hasn't helped me to know how to have a specific picture as background 
(JPEG,

PNG, w/e). So it's maybe very easy, if so I'm sorry, but I haven't found.

Can you please explain?

Someone suggests me to use asymptote.  Their graphs are really wonderful! 
Moreover, asymptote supports 3d-drawing.

主题： Can you suggest a good way to draw pictures with latex code? 
 
Hi All,

I'm an intermediate lyx user (1.5.5, windows).
So far, I draw various pictures on MS PowerPoint, convert to jpg, and finally 
import to my LyX document.


For example, see jpg drawing I've attached.

However, this is bad since Power Point is not good for math.
It would also be much easier to just copy and paste my LyX/latex code into the 
PowerPoint presentation if possible.

Can anyone suggest a good drawing program?
Can Beamer do this??  I haven't used it yet (I admit).

Thanks, Erez

 Greetings,
 
 I'm currently writing up a document and I'm trying to do something

 I'd like to write text that is both in the typewriter face and bolded.
 Using LyX, what I end up with is:
 
  \texttt{\textbf{0x2E}}: Constant   ..
 
 and the resulting output is in typewriter style but not bolded. Is there
 any way to do both?
 

The default LaTeX Fixed font does not have bold glyphs. But if you choose
Courier in the fonts combo, it should work.

Re: ACM

[Julio Rojas]

Sorry Uwe, I never meant to point the problem towards tex2lyx. As a
matter of fact, I had a bad problem with my texlive installation, due
to some files left over the /etc/texmf/updmap.d folder that didn't let
me make the upgrades needed to render the PDF. I have solved the
problem of the fonts and I will download the new version of the
layout.

The only worrying point is that LyX never reported the fonts problem
while rendering the PDF. The PDF was rendered, but as the file sent to
the list show, it was badly generated. I tried compiling the tex file
by hand and the fonts problem was shown as messages. Why could this
happen?

Yes, you just have to use the hyperref package. There will be native 
support for this in 1.6. In 1.5, you have to include it manually in the 
preamble. There must be stuff on the wiki about this.

You have to use the LateX-package hyperref in the document preamble. For an example, have a look 
at the preamble of LyX's UserGuide and start with this code.


In the next release LyX 1.6.0 hyperref support is available in the document setting under

If I try to manually set the class (via Document - Configuration) to

Different page margins in one document

Hi everybody,

I would like to have different page margins in the table section of my

I added this before the Table section in ERT

\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-1cm}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{2cm}

Unfortunately only everything else but the caption width adjusts. Any
suggestions to make the caption to adjust, too? Thanks in advance

Go to LyX - Document - Settings - Language and set the encoding to utf8x

Re: Can you suggest a good way to draw pictures with latex code?

Another possibility is to use Dia. In Dia, you can write latex
formulas in text boxes, and then you export them as Metapost macros
(mp). You then use metapost (mpost) to generate eps files (metapost
saves them with extensions .1, .2, etc, but then you simply rename
them to .eps and import them in Lyx).

 @Erez: Inkscape http://www.inkscape.org is a vector drawing program. It can
 generate .eps figures you can easily embed in you document (and they are
 resolution independent).

 Another great feature of Inkscape that makes it great tool for mathematical
 figures is it's ability (via plugins) to embed LaTeX formulas in the figures
 (great for labels).

Lyx 1.5.6 Strange error message using wrong format by href

[Yegor Yefremov]

Hello,

if I try to view PDF (pdflatex) from this lyx-file I get the following 
message:


Lyx: Cannot view file
File does not exist: ..latex_error.pdf

I had the same problem in my document. At first I couldn't figure out 
what is the reason for that error, till I examined the Document-LaTeX 
Log and found out, that \href parameter had wrong format. At this point 
I would expect to get normal Lyx/Latex syntax error, but not the error 
message showing the consequences of the syntax error. Does Lyx 1.6 
behave in the same way?


I'm using Lyx 1.5.6 on Windows with Miktex 2.7

If you want to draw / code technical drawings and plots try tikz / pgf. It
will work well with beamer because both packages are done by the same
author, Till Tantau.

Look  http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/ to see what you can do with
tikz

The documentation is very good and the syntax is nice.

Similar to tikz / pgf but older, pstricks is quite popular and well
documented. 

You have also Asymptote.

I guess WMF is not a supported file type. Try using PDF or EPS plots.

Setting two character styles at once

[Michael Brown]

Greetings,

I'm currently writing up a document and I'm trying to do something
relatively simple (considering what else I've done :).

I'd like to write text that is both in the typewriter face and bolded.
Using LyX, what I end up with is:

 \texttt{\textbf{0x2E}}: Constant   ..

and the resulting output is in typewriter style but not bolded. Is there
any way to do both?

Thanks,

Michael

You have to use the LateX-package hyperref in the document preamble. 
For an example, have a look at the preamble of LyX's UserGuide and start 
with this code.


In the next release LyX 1.6.0 hyperref support is available in the 
document setting under PDF Options.


regards Uwe


Thanks Richard and Uwe for your replies. I'll take alook at 
the preamble code for the UserGuide soon and let you know 
how I get on.


Now I know that it's possible to use such href links with 
LyX, I can get on learning the documentation :)


Kind Regards,

Keith

Hi All,

I'm an intermediate lyx user (1.5.5, windows).
So far, I draw various pictures on MS PowerPoint, convert to jpg, and finally 
import to my LyX document.


For example, see jpg drawing I've attached.

However, this is bad since Power Point is not good for math.
It would also be much easier to just copy and paste my LyX/latex code into the 
PowerPoint presentation if possible.

Can anyone suggest a good drawing program?
Can Beamer do this??  I haven't used it yet (I admit).

The default LaTeX Fixed font does not have bold glyphs. But if you choose

Re: ACM

[Julio Rojas]

Sorry Uwe, I never meant to point the problem towards tex2lyx. As a
matter of fact, I had a bad problem with my texlive installation, due
to some files left over the /etc/texmf/updmap.d folder that didn't let
me make the upgrades needed to render the PDF. I have solved the
problem of the fonts and I will download the new version of the
layout.

The only worrying point is that LyX never reported the fonts problem
while rendering the PDF. The PDF was rendered, but as the file sent to
the list show, it was badly generated. I tried compiling the tex file
by hand and the fonts problem was shown as messages. Why could this
happen?

Yes, you just have to use the hyperref package. There will be native 
support for this in 1.6. In 1.5, you have to include it manually in the 
preamble. There must be stuff on the wiki about this.

You have to use the LateX-package "hyperref" in the document preamble. For an example, have a look 
at the preamble of LyX's UserGuide and start with this code.


In the next release LyX 1.6.0 hyperref support is available in the document setting under

I have moved from my Ubuntu PC where everything was alright to my

LyX, reconfigured MikTeX and when I try to open my file a message
appears telling me:

The document class sigplanconf could not be loaded.

If I try to manually set the class (via Document -> Configuration) to
ACM SIGPLAN, the same message is presented and another one that says:

Unable to set the document class.

Different page margins in one document

[Daniel Klein]

Hi everybody,

I would like to have different page margins in the table section of my
document that in the rest of the documtent.

I added this before the Table section in ERT

\setlength{\evensidemargin}{-1cm}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-1cm}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{2cm}

Unfortunately only everything else but the caption width adjusts. Any
suggestions to make the caption to adjust, too? Thanks in advance

Best

Go to LyX -> Document -> Settings -> Language and set the encoding to utf8x
if it is not already set. That should help. Generally, I recommend always to
use utf8x (or other unicode), other encodings are older and therefore more
limited and why should you limit yourself?

Another possibility is to use Dia. In Dia, you can write latex
formulas in text boxes, and then you export them as Metapost macros
(mp). You then use metapost (mpost) to generate eps files (metapost
saves them with extensions .1, .2, etc, but then you simply rename
them to .eps and import them in Lyx).

Yes, this is a known bug. folder and file names must not have any non-ASCII

.wmf graphics cannot be seen in lyx

[Erez Yerushalmi]

Dear All,

I'm using Lyx 1.5.5, windows xp.

At the moment, i'm saving MS powerpoint slides as .wmf and importing to LyX.
(Thanks to those giving me suggestions for other drawing programs. I've been
playing with a few of them, and will write later which one I feel is best)

*Here is my question:*
Can anyone tell me why LyX gives an error when it tries to enable me to *see
* the fig LyX.
The message I get is "error converting to Loadable format"
I don't get this message when imporing .jpg, and I see the figure.

The pdf output is with .wmf is beautiful, much better than a .jpg. (Thanks
Joost).

Kind Regards,  Erez

Lyx 1.5.6 Strange error message using wrong format by href

[Yegor Yefremov]

Hello,

if I try to view PDF (pdflatex) from this lyx-file I get the following 
message:


Lyx: Cannot view file
File does not exist: ..latex_error.pdf

I had the same problem in my document. At first I couldn't figure out 
what is the reason for that error, till I examined the Document->LaTeX 
Log and found out, that \href parameter had wrong format. At this point 
I would expect to get normal Lyx/Latex syntax error, but not the error 
message showing the consequences of the syntax error. Does Lyx 1.6 
behave in the same way?


I'm using Lyx 1.5.6 on Windows with Miktex 2.7

Best regards,
Yegor

If you want to draw / code technical drawings and plots try tikz / pgf. It
will work well with beamer because both packages are done by the same
author, Till Tantau.

Look  http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/ to see what you can do with
tikz

The documentation is very good and the syntax is nice.

Similar to tikz / pgf but older, pstricks is quite popular and well
documented. 

You have also Asymptote.

Cheers,
Charles

This is the ouput generated by LyX:

Unable to convert C:/Program Files/LyX
1.6.0rc3/bin/../Resources/layouts/sigplanconf.layout to format 8
Error reading `[layouts/sigplanconf.layout]'
(Check `sigplanconf')
Check your installation and try Options/Reconfigure...
Error: Could not load class

The document class sigplanconf could not be loaded.
Error: Error

Unable to set document class.

It seems like a LyX can't read the layout. Any ideas?

Re: .wmf graphics cannot be seen in lyx

[Julio Rojas]

I guess WMF is not a supported file type. Try using PDF or EPS plots.

Setting two character styles at once

[Michael Brown]

Greetings,

I'm currently writing up a document and I'm trying to do something
relatively simple (considering what else I've done :).

I'd like to write text that is both in the typewriter face and bolded.
Using LyX, what I end up with is:

 \texttt{\textbf{0x2E}}: Constant   ..

and the resulting output is in typewriter style but not bolded. Is there
any way to do both?

Thanks,

Michael

You have to use the LateX-package "hyperref" in the document preamble. 
For an example, have a look at the preamble of LyX's UserGuide and start 
with this code.


In the next release LyX 1.6.0 hyperref support is available in the 
document setting under "PDF Options".


regards Uwe


Thanks Richard and Uwe for your replies. I'll take alook at 
the preamble code for the UserGuide soon and let you know 
how I get on.


Now I know that it's possible to use such href links with 
LyX, I can get on learning the documentation :)


Kind Regards,

Keith

Hi,

I'm quite new to LyX, and I have so searched a lot in documentation. But 
it
hasn't helped me to know how to have a specific picture as background 
(JPEG,

PNG, w/e). So it's maybe very easy, if so I'm sorry, but I haven't found.

Can you please explain?

Regards,
Ralt.
