Problem with Lyx multirows

[Jacob Larsen]

Hi,
I'm in the process of writing my thesis in Lyx, but I'm pretty new to it. I've 
been having some problems with creating multirows in tables. I tried to follow 
the instructions from http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables, but can't get it to work 
in my own lyx document. Whenever I want to watch the PDF view an error saying 
Undefined control sequence pops up with the following description:

\multirow
  {2}{2.5cm}{multi row}\tabularnewline
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
I have attached a lyx file with a table and the code that I tried to use. Any 
help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jacob Larsen

captions to graphics are sometimes centred and sometimes not

[Richard Brown]

Using 1.6.5 on ubunto 9..10, and komascript book, I have some photographs
insert in floats. Each photograph has a caption. Sometimes the captions are
centred on the page, and sometimes they are left justified- and I can see no
difference whatsoever in the procedure I adopted (Insert float, +  insert
graphics) or in the source code. The only difference is that some captions
are longer than others.

For instance, this is centred:

 % Preview source code for paragraph 43

%

\begin{figure}[H]

\includegraphics[width=3.65in]{bolzano_esterno}

\caption{La sala del commiato a Bolzano.}

 \end{figure}



And this is left justified:

 % Preview source code for paragraph 45

%

\begin{figure}[H]

\includegraphics[width=3.65in,height=2.3in]{bolzano_crocefisso}

\caption{Bolzano, il catafalco. ~Da notare i simboli religiosi non \protect
\\

sono fissi. }

 \end{figure}



Wherein lies the difference?

Not really. I suppose that the Info inset could be adapted to this

Re: Bizarre file not found error using pdfpages

[Richard Brown]

Thanks for your very clear explanation, Paul: it enabled me to understand
the problem- which was that I had underscores in the pdf filename. So when
lyx mangled the file name (as you put it), it then couldn't read the
mangled filename back because my underscores and the mangling underscores
confused the issue. The file got lost.

Important lesson: don-t use underscores in names of files to be included.

Certainly, if you're willing to use a script to generate the document. Have 
something like this in the document prefix:

wordcount=32123

Then at the very end, put this ERT:

\wordcount

Then have a script that converts to text, counts the words via wc, then uses 
sed to change the wordcount=32123 line, then converts to dvi via latex, and 
converts to ps via dvips, then converts to pdf via ps2pdf.

I do stuff like this all the time. This is how my eBook personalization 
scripts work.

Putting the underbrace under just the b is easy.  If 'b' is replaced by 
a sufficiently long expression, the brace will stretch to the width of 
the expression, but if 'b' is literally one character, the brace will be 
wider than b. Are you asking how to make the brace narrower?  I don't 
know if that can be done.


If you're doing what I wrote before (but with the brace only under b) 
and there's extra space surrounding b that annoys you, I suspect it's 
from the brace, not from the description.


As a side note, I noticed that when putting the brace under b only, 
sometimes the space between + and c was short-changed. That can be 
corrected by inserting space manually.

Odd; I don't have that problem here (but I'm on Win XP at the moment; my

1.6.5, probably the one Jürgen mentioned.


At any rate, I think underscores in file names should not be a problem

Can't reproduce it here.  Can you post a barebones example (minimal LyX

I notice that you are not centering the images within the floats, so the 
images will be left-justified.  When I do it here, though, the captions 
are centered. (Also, the second caption is a single line here. Is it 
supposed to be two lines for you?)

Problem with Lyx multirows

[Jacob Larsen]

Hi,
I'm in the process of writing my thesis in Lyx, but I'm pretty new to it. I've 
been having some problems with creating multirows in tables. I tried to follow 
the instructions from http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables, but can't get it to work 
in my own lyx document. Whenever I want to watch the PDF view an error saying 
Undefined control sequence pops up with the following description:

\multirow
  {2}{2.5cm}{multi row}\tabularnewline
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
I have attached a lyx file with a table and the code that I tried to use. Any 
help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jacob Larsen

I suspect what you want is the following (in a math inset):

That is what I'm doing, the problem is that the spacing is all wrong. The reply

captions to graphics are sometimes centred and sometimes not

[Richard Brown]

Using 1.6.5 on ubunto 9..10, and komascript book, I have some photographs
insert in floats. Each photograph has a caption. Sometimes the captions are
centred on the page, and sometimes they are left justified- and I can see no
difference whatsoever in the procedure I adopted (Insert float, +  insert
graphics) or in the source code. The only difference is that some captions
are longer than others.

For instance, this is centred:

 % Preview source code for paragraph 43

%

\begin{figure}[H]

\includegraphics[width=3.65in]{bolzano_esterno}

\caption{La sala del commiato a Bolzano.}

 \end{figure}



And this is left justified:

 % Preview source code for paragraph 45

%

\begin{figure}[H]

\includegraphics[width=3.65in,height=2.3in]{bolzano_crocefisso}

\caption{Bolzano, il catafalco. ~Da notare i simboli religiosi non \protect
\\

sono fissi. }

 \end{figure}



Wherein lies the difference?

Insert word count at end of the document

Not really. I suppose that the Info inset could be adapted to this 
purpose---it's basically used to display things LyX knows about---but at 
present it isn't.

Re: Bizarre file not found error using pdfpages

[Richard Brown]

Thanks for your very clear explanation, Paul: it enabled me to understand
the problem- which was that I had underscores in the pdf filename. So when
lyx mangled the file name (as you put it), it then couldn't read the
mangled filename back because my underscores and the mangling underscores
confused the issue. The file got lost.

Important lesson: don-t use underscores in names of files to be included.

 Thanks, Kevin.
 

Certainly, if you're willing to use a script to generate the document. Have 
something like this in the document prefix:

wordcount=32123

Then at the very end, put this ERT:

\wordcount

Then have a script that converts to text, counts the words via wc, then uses 
sed to change the wordcount=32123 line, then converts to dvi via latex, and 
converts to ps via dvips, then converts to pdf via ps2pdf.

I do stuff like this all the time. This is how my eBook personalization 
scripts work.

Putting the underbrace under just the b is easy.  If 'b' is replaced by

the expression, but if 'b' is literally one character, the brace will be 
wider than b. Are you asking how to make the brace narrower?  I don't

If you're doing what I wrote before (but with the brace only under b) 
and there's extra space surrounding b that annoys you, I suspect it's 
from the brace, not from the description.


As a side note, I noticed that when putting the brace under b only, 
sometimes the space between + and c was short-changed. That can be 
corrected by inserting space manually.

Odd; I don't have that problem here (but I'm on Win XP at the moment; my

1.6.5, probably the one Jürgen mentioned.

Can't reproduce it here.  Can you post a barebones example (minimal LyX

I notice that you are not centering the images within the floats, so the 
images will be left-justified.  When I do it here, though, the captions 
are centered. (Also, the second caption is a single line here. Is it 
supposed to be two lines for you?)

Problem with Lyx multirows

[Jacob Larsen]

Hi,
I'm in the process of writing my thesis in Lyx, but I'm pretty new to it. I've 
been having some problems with creating multirows in tables. I tried to follow 
the instructions from http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables, but can't get it to work 
in my own lyx document. Whenever I want to watch the PDF view an error saying 
Undefined control sequence pops up with the following description:

\multirow
  {2}{2.5cm}{multi row} &  &  &  & \tabularnewline
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
I have attached a lyx file with a table and the code that I tried to use. Any 
help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jacob Larsen

I suspect what you want is the following (in a math inset):

1. type \underset (space);
2. in the upper box of the inset, type \underbrace (space);
3. enter the formula in the innermost inset;
4. enter the description in the bottom space.

captions to graphics are sometimes centred and sometimes not

[Richard Brown]

Using 1.6.5 on ubunto 9..10, and komascript book, I have some photographs
insert in floats. Each photograph has a caption. Sometimes the captions are
centred on the page, and sometimes they are left justified- and I can see no
difference whatsoever in the procedure I adopted (Insert float, +  insert
graphics) or in the source code. The only difference is that some captions
are longer than others.

For instance, this is centred:

 % Preview source code for paragraph 43

%

\begin{figure}[H]

\includegraphics[width=3.65in]{bolzano_esterno}

\caption{La sala del commiato a Bolzano.}

 \end{figure}



And this is left justified:

 % Preview source code for paragraph 45

%

\begin{figure}[H]

\includegraphics[width=3.65in,height=2.3in]{bolzano_crocefisso}

\caption{Bolzano, il catafalco. ~Da notare i simboli religiosi non \protect
\\

sono fissi. }

 \end{figure}



Wherein lies the difference?

Error en LyX

[Josep Borrás]

Soy un nuevo usuario de LyX sin ningún conocimiento efectivo de
LaTex. Acabo de descargar LyX y si bien la Introducción y el Tutorial de la
Ayuda se obtienen perfectamente en su edición PDF no ocurre lo mismo con la
Guía de Usuario que resulta imposible obtener en ese formato (solo aparece
un escueto mensaje de error).

 

 ¿Puede ser un error arrastrado con la descarga o es solo en mi
ordenador? ¿Puedo encontrar una solución diferente a desinstalar todo el
programa e intentar una nueva descarga? …

 

 Mi agradecimiento por cualquier sugerencia.  Josep.

 

 

Re: Error en LyX

Hola Pep:
En primer lugar, la lista es en inglés, así que te será más fácil
obtener respuesta si escribes en este idioma. Segundo, es dificil
detectar el error si no colocas el mensaje de error. Tercero, es
recomendable que describas el sistema en el que intentas compilar el
documento: sistema operativo, versión de lyx, distribución y versión
de latex.

Esperamos por tu respuesta. Un abrazo.

Insert word count at end of the document

[Kevin Li]

Hi,

Is there a way to make the word count automatically appear at the end of the
document (perhaps like a variable)?


Thanks, Kevin.

Not really. I suppose that the Info inset could be adapted to this 
purpose---it's basically used to display things LyX knows about---but at 
present it isn't.

Re: Bizarre file not found error using pdfpages

[Richard Brown]

Thanks for your very clear explanation, Paul: it enabled me to understand
the problem- which was that I had underscores in the pdf filename. So when
lyx "mangled" the file name (as you put it), it then couldn't read the
mangled filename back because my underscores and the mangling underscores
confused the issue. The file got lost.

Important lesson: don-t use underscores in names of files to be included.

Re: Bizarre file not found error using pdfpages

Thanks for the pointer, Jurgen. I was using 1.6.4 and as a result of your

I had with pdfpackages!

Certainly, if you're willing to use a script to generate the document. Have 
something like this in the document prefix:

wordcount=32123

Then at the very end, put this ERT:

\wordcount

Then have a script that converts to text, counts the words via wc, then uses 
sed to change the wordcount=32123 line, then converts to dvi via latex, and 
converts to ps via dvips, then converts to pdf via ps2pdf.

I do stuff like this all the time. This is how my eBook personalization 
scripts work.

Putting the underbrace under just the b is easy.  If 'b' is replaced by 
a sufficiently long expression, the brace will stretch to the width of 
the expression, but if 'b' is literally one character, the brace will be 
wider than b. Are you asking how to make the brace narrower?  I don't 
know if that can be done.


If you're doing what I wrote before (but with the brace only under b) 
and there's extra space surrounding b that annoys you, I suspect it's 
from the brace, not from the description.


As a side note, I noticed that when putting the brace under b only, 
sometimes the space between + and c was short-changed. That can be 
corrected by inserting space manually.

Odd; I don't have that problem here (but I'm on Win XP at the moment; my 
Linux machines are napping).  Could be a bug in 1.6.4 that was fixed in 
1.6.5, probably the one Jürgen mentioned.


At any rate, I think underscores in file names should not be a problem 
(including on Linux).

Can't reproduce it here.  Can you post a barebones example (minimal LyX 
file)?


I notice that you are not centering the images within the floats, so the 
images will be left-justified.  When I do it here, though, the captions 
are centered. (Also, the second caption is a single line here. Is it 
supposed to be two lines for you?)

The behavior is to expand the whole block of b, underbrace and description to 
the width of the block. The brace is as wide as b, not as wide as the 
description (I'm actually using an arrow in this case, but it doesn't matter), 
my problem is with the bock width, not the brace width.


I ended up inserting negative vspace, although I seem to recall that there was a

sorry, of course it's a hspace, not a vspace. And this is what I was trying to 
achieve, just I was hoping not to have to resort to hspace:


I(x,y,\hspace{-0.9em}\underset{\substack{\downarrow\\

I don't know what your first language is but if there is not already
a version of the Lyx documentation in your language then translating
the documentation into that language would be a great help both to
Lyx and to those who speak your language.

You could also work on translating the English phrases of Lyx itself
into your language.  Perhaps some Lyx developer would help you
with this remotely.

If that is not enough work for you, your help with the English Lyx
documentation is of course welcome.
