including a Sweave/R code chunk in a LyX table cell

[[Ricardo Rodriguez] eBioTIC.]

Hi all,

I've posted this same message yesterday evening at 
http://www.latex-community.org LyX forum. Please, accept my apologies 
for cross-posting! I'm new to this LyX world and trying to identify the 
best way of getting/providing help! Here the issue:


I've successfully installed R 2.11.0 and LyX 1.6.5 in a MacBook Pro 
running Mac OS X 10.5.8. Some examples including more or less complex R 
code chunks run without a glitch.


But I am not able to include a R code chuck within a table.

This works fine:


% Preview source code for paragraph 10

Normal1,echo=T=
qs=1
@


But this doesn't work:


% Preview source code for paragraph 11

\begin{tabular}{|c|}
\hline
Normal1,echo=T=
pot=2
@
\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}


The LyX literate errors window gives this information:

*
Errors:

LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

Description:

\begin{Sinput}

Try typing return to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X return to quit.
*

This proposal by gmedina at http://www.latex-community.org LyX forum, 
avoids the error, but the result is a table with those lines in the 
table, not with the R results.




Please, where am I wrong? Is it not possible to include R code chunks in 
LyX tables?


Thanks for your help!

Re: including a Sweave/R code chunk in a LyX table cell

[Rob Oakes]

Hi Ricardo,

I am not to include an R code chunk within a table.

For reasons I do not really understand, R code within tables (or figure
floats) can be very fragile.  LyX 2.0 makes this better through the
Sweave module, but it is still not perfect.

The best way I have found for overcoming the fragility is to place it
within a minipage.  You can do this by clicking on Insert-Box, and then
placing the code within there.

If the code chunk is short, you can also use S/R expression insets.
(Not sure if this is available in LyX 1.6.5.  From LyX 2.0, go to
Insert-Custom Inserts-S/R expression).

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

Re: BEAMER - \lyxframeend

[Venable]

I don't know if this is related to your problem but a recent update to
the geometry package caused some conflicts for beamer.

I had some problems with beamer a few days ago but went to
http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex2e/contrib/beamer/base/
downloaded beamerbasecompatibility.sty (note that it was updated just
in February, whereas most of the rest of the package is from 2007)
and over-wrote the existing  beamerbasecompatibility.sty in MikTeX.

See
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2010-February/024834.html
and
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2010-February/thread.html#24927
for more details.

There's an alternative fix, which is to add some code before
\documentclass but I don't think this is possible in LyX (although you
could always export to straight latex and then add the code in
TeXworks or whatever). This alternative is discussed here
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.live/24852



As an aside, personally I prefer using ERT to add \begin{frame},
\frametitle{Your title here} and \end{frame} directly, instead of
using the lyxframe commands, since it leads to a purer latex output,
but this is just a matter of taste.

Re: elegant titlepage

[Marcelo Acuña]

  I would like to do a elegant title page like some
 books as I attach,
  with a photo as background and two columns.
  
  I have tried with titlepage package, but it seems that
 don't works in LyX.
  
  Have you any idea?

 In contrast, generating
 something similar to your example with Scribus or InDesign
 would take no
 more than an hour or two.  Moreover, because it is a
 program
 specifically designed for finger painting, you have much
 better
 control over how things appear.
 
 Just my two cents, though.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Rob
 

I agree completely.
You can make a page with another program, save as pdf, and insert this pdf file 
at the beginning of your book.

No Custom Insert is available out of the box with LyX 1.6.5. I guess LyX 
2.0 is in beta stage (I found some spare references to it in 
latex-community.org). I don't know why but I've not access to LyX 
website right now, I'll check it asap and move ahead to this release. 
I'm currently in an entry stage of my work with LyX, thus it is a 
perfect time for experimentation!


BTW, I see that your message has been sent to lyx-de...@oak-tree.us as

 You might try starting LyX from a console/x-terminal-emulator.
 
 Under Unix/X11, you can see error messages in ~/.xsession-errors (for

Abort document rendering

Hi,

is there a way to cancel a pdflatex from LyX? I am currently working with some
documents which take a lot of time to render, and sometimes I want to cancel
before one it's finished. Currently I just kill LyX and relaunch.

The sweave module should be there out of the box. Once you add it to

Hi Friends

[Adrian Diaz]

I have a problem that i do not undertand.

I have installed the version of Lyx 1.6.5 on my computer. Besides i am
writting my thesis
whit the class document: book (more font sizes).  It works almost Ok. but
there is a small problem:
This problem consist of that on lyx editor i have set up spanish as
language, i do not have
any problem to write *proposición (proposition) or definición
(definition),..etc*, however, when i want to convert
to pdf format there are some misbehavior: for example *definición* on lyx
editor appears Ok, but on pdf format appears as *definition*.


I have attached an example o which you can see the problem. I would like to
have some advices to solver this problem

You need to translate them manually for LaTeX, see

With LyX 2.0 this would not be necessary.

Re: including a Sweave/R code chunk in a LyX table cell

[Rob Oakes]

Hi Ricardo,

Sweave in LyX 2.0 works a little different.  Instead of being relegated
to a single document class, it has instead been implemented as a module.
The upside is that you can now use Sweave with any document class and
with any LaTeX variant (my personal favorite class is the Tufte
Handout).  This wasn't possible in LyX 1.6 (or, I should say, it was
possible but much more difficult).

But before you can use the module, you need to add it to your document.
This is done from the Document-Settings-Modules pane.  Once the pane
is loaded, simply scroll down to Sweave and add it to your dodcument.
Then click on Ok or Apply.

Once you have done this, a couple of new inset options should appear in
the Inset-Custom menu.  If you have any problems, go ahead and shoot me
an email.

Cheers,

Rob

floats) can be very fragile.  LyX 2.0 makes this better through the
Sweave module, but it is still not perfect.

The best way I have found for overcoming the fragility is to place it
within a minipage.  You can do this by clicking on Insert->Box, and then
placing the code within there.

If the code chunk is short, you can also use S/R expression insets.
(Not sure if this is available in LyX 1.6.5.  From LyX 2.0, go to
Insert->Custom Inserts->S/R expression).

Re: BEAMER - \lyxframeend

[Venable]

I don't know if this is related to your problem but a recent update to
the geometry package caused some conflicts for beamer.

I had some problems with beamer a few days ago but went to
http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex2e/contrib/beamer/base/
downloaded beamerbasecompatibility.sty (note that it was updated just
in February, whereas most of the rest of the package is from 2007)
and over-wrote the existing  beamerbasecompatibility.sty in MikTeX.

See
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2010-February/024834.html
and
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2010-February/thread.html#24927
for more details.

There's an alternative fix, which is to add some code before
\documentclass but I don't think this is possible in LyX (although you
could always export to straight latex and then add the code in
TeXworks or whatever). This alternative is discussed here
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.live/24852



As an aside, personally I prefer using ERT to add \begin{frame},
\frametitle{Your title here} and \end{frame} directly, instead of
using the lyxframe commands, since it leads to a "purer" latex output,
but this is just a matter of taste.

I agree completely.
You can make a page with another program, save as pdf, and insert this pdf file 
at the beginning of your book.

This works fine! By putting an ERT within the minipage problems are solved!

If the code chunk is short, you can also use S/R expression insets.

No Custom Insert is available out of the box with LyX 1.6.5. I guess LyX 
2.0 is in beta stage (I found some spare references to it in 
latex-community.org). I don't know why but I've not access to LyX 
website right now, I'll check it asap and move ahead to this release. 
I'm currently in an entry stage of my work with LyX, thus it is a 
perfect time for experimentation!


BTW, I see that your message has been sent to lyx-de...@oak-tree.us as 
well as to lyx-us...@lists.lux.org. Just to be polite and to respect the 
rules, is is expected that I reply to the list? Just to the sender?


Thanks for your help and advice!

Greetings,

Ricardo

When I launch LyX from a terminal (mac os x), all LaTeX and R traces are visible
within that same terminal! Thanks for the hint.

Abort document rendering

[M . Speiser]

Hi,

is there a way to cancel a pdflatex from LyX? I am currently working with some
documents which take a lot of time to render, and sometimes I want to cancel
before one it's finished. Currently I just kill LyX and relaunch.

Cheers

You can alternatively kill pdflatex.

I think this will be also useful for us! But, please, how must I proceed 
to launch a fully operational LyX from Mac OS C terminal? By executing 
./LyX from the LyX.app directory doesn't consider user configuration files.


Thanks for your help!

I've just installed LyX-2.0.0alpha2.dmg and I don't find the S/R

Must it be available out of the box?

Thanks!

The sweave module should be there out of the box. Once you add it to 
your document (Under Document > Settings > Modules), the custom inset 
should become available from the menu.

Hi Friends

[Adrian Diaz]

I have a problem that i do not undertand.

I have installed the version of Lyx 1.6.5 on my computer. Besides i am
writting my thesis
whit the class document: book (more font sizes).  It works almost Ok. but
there is a small problem:
This problem consist of that on lyx editor i have set up spanish as
language, i do not have
any problem to write *proposición (proposition) or definición
(definition),..etc*, however, when i want to convert
to pdf format there are some misbehavior: for example *definición* on lyx
editor appears Ok, but on pdf format appears as *definition*.


I have attached an example o which you can see the problem. I would like to
have some advices to solver this problem

  Thanks in advance   Adrián

You need to translate them manually for LaTeX, see
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/I18nLabels

With LyX 2.0 this would not be necessary.

Re: including a Sweave/R code chunk in a LyX table cell

[Rob Oakes]

Hi Ricardo,

Sweave in LyX 2.0 works a little different.  Instead of being relegated
to a single document class, it has instead been implemented as a module.
The upside is that you can now use Sweave with any document class and
with any LaTeX variant (my personal favorite class is the Tufte
Handout).  This wasn't possible in LyX 1.6 (or, I should say, it was
possible but much more difficult).

But before you can use the module, you need to add it to your document.
This is done from the Document->Settings->Modules pane.  Once the pane
is loaded, simply scroll down to Sweave and add it to your dodcument.
Then click on "Ok" or "Apply".

Once you have done this, a couple of new inset options should appear in
the Inset->Custom menu.  If you have any problems, go ahead and shoot me
an email.

Cheers,

Rob
