Hello,
 
I'm still creating a document class for the quote guidelines of our
university and a belonging template. Both is nearly finished, but there is
one thing that still bothers me. The cover: There are very strong
requirements for the position of title, name etc. So far I made it with a
table in the template but I would like to create new LaTeX-commands in the
document class for putting every style (Name, Title etc.) at its specified
position on the page with a label (similar to the letter-class). That would
enable the user to create the cover without template setting a style for any
detail.

Here is a solution using xfig to perform the required placement
 - create an xfig layout of the cover page, with new command names where text 
should appear (\covertitle, \coverauthor, \coverdate, \coverinstitute,..),
 and special flags set; maybe you may re-use \title, \author,...
 - add the corresponding styles in the layout 
 - Insert-File-External Material

I guess the main problem is to create the cover before LyX activates \maketitle.

Dear users,

I am writing a book in Italian (the style is book-AMS) with LyX 1.5 beta2.

I have accordingly modified Document-Setting-Language and 
Tools-Preferences-Langauge setting.
While Chapter and Part correctly appear in the DVI as Capitolo and 
Parte (in Italian), theorems, corollaries and so on, are still shown in 
DVI as Therem instead of Teorema.

I know how to modify the LaTeX preamble in order to write Teorema instead 
of Theorem but I would write a lot of command lines in order to change ALL 
the environments.
I wonder whethere there exists an easier way to do so.

Till Tantau wrote a complement to beamer to solve this, named Translator.
Needs a once-fo-all writing of a dictionary, and a simple change in the
declaration of the environments.

Works fine with beamer, but not limited to it.

 Here is a solution using xfig to perform the required placement
  - create an xfig layout of the cover page, 

What's an xfig layout? Is it an image? Is it some sort of XML? Where can I 
learn more about this?

xfig is a oo drawing tool quite easy to use (the dynamic help is
quite efficient); it has a companion application named transfig
which provides export in a variety of formats.

Among these formats, one exports the drawing as eps and the text as
latex (if a special flag is set on texts), allowing to type in
latex commnd in the graphic window. You set the family, the size, etc
(but not the font) when you draw, so that your graphich will
have text in the document font.

It offers thus a way to make placements which are complicated in Lyx, 
I used it in the 90's for transparencies.

W.r.t. LyX, xfig in understood as External Material: LyX takes care
of the export, be it eps or pdf,  so that you submit
the .fig file name and not the result of the export
(known as combined PS/LaTeX or combined PDF/LaTeX).

Of course, you may use it to create graphics in eps, pdf or png.

 What program is used for that export? Maybe I missed to install it...
 

You need latex2rtf at  http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/
I'm using debian which has it as a package called latex2rtf. It's probably
available on ubuntu or you can try to install the debian version and then
reconfigure lyx (so that it can find it).
I have under file-export an option to export to rich text format.
Haven't used it personally though. 

I use it quite often, here are some indications:
 after reconfigure check that
 - the needaux flag is added in the Converter section (otherwise you will
 miss bibliographies);
 - the latex2rtf command has got the -p -S switches
 - additional switches may be required (language, encoding,...).
 
Open the result with Word, not with OO.
 
As far as math are concerned, latex2rtf does quite a good job for inline
math and no-to-sophisticated display math. However, math cannot be edited
in Word if there are both Greek and latin symbols, due to a basic limitation
of the Math Type converter.

An alternate method is to add the -M6 switch to get images instead of
Math Type for display equations: you cannot edit, but you get latex-like
typography :-).
You may use the -se1.4 switch to increase font size e.g to 1.4 times the default
in the converted equations.

 What program is used for that export? Maybe I missed to install it...
 

You need latex2rtf at  http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/
I'm using debian which has it as a package called latex2rtf. It's probably
available on ubuntu or you can try to install the debian version and then
reconfigure lyx (so that it can find it).
I have under file-export an option to export to rich text format.
Haven't used it personally though. 

I use it quite often, here are some indications:
 after reconfigure check that
 - the needaux flag is added in the Converter section (otherwise you will
 miss bibliographies);
 - the latex2rtf command has got the -p -S switches
 - additional switches may be required (language, encoding,...).
 
Open the result with Word, not with OO.
 
As far as math are concerned, latex2rtf does quite a good job for inline
math and no-to-sophisticated display math. However, math cannot be edited
in Word if there are both Greek and latin symbols, due to a basic limitation
of the Math Type converter.

An alternate method is to add the -M6 switch to get images instead of
Math Type for display equations: you cannot edit, but you get latex-like
typography :-).
You may use the -se1.4 switch to increase font size e.g to 1.4 times the default
in the converted equations.

Re: weird eps to pdf conversion problem

Subject: weird eps to pdf conversion problem
X-UCD-Spam-Score: 1.947 (*) BAYES_00,RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL

Hi there,

I originally generated eps files using Matlab, and when I embed them in 
my lyx document, everything is great when I convert it into a pdf.  
Unfortunately, the original eps files were way too large, so I had to 
find a way to compress them (decreased resolution and then rasterized 
it). 

If you turn the figure into a bitmap, you could do it from Matlab by
creating a png rather than an eps.
Of course, eps is better as it is vectorized, so it is better to
stick to vectorization in the pdf result.

This resulted in the new eps file's bounding box becoming way too 
large.  I manually edited them so that the bounding box fits the image 
better, and it looks fine in GSView. When I insert it in my lyx 
document, it looks fine too in the preview.  When I go to convert it to 
a pdf, though, it results in some sort of overlapping problem where the 
figure seems to have much more whitespace and this whitespace obscures 
other figures/text around it.  Any hints on how I can fix this?

You may try the ps2eps converter (converts eps to eps as well): it
fixes the bounding box.

Re: Lyx 1.4.4. of Sat Feb 17: PDF graphics problem

From: Ekkehart Schlicht [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], LyX-Users lyx-users@lists.lyx.org
Subject: Re: Lyx 1.4.4. of Sat Feb 17: PDF graphics problem

Thanks a lot, Paul. The issue does not relate to previews etc. I have 
digged myself.

The issue relates to the LyX-MikTeX interaction and warrants some 
changes in LyX, I think.

If I embed Fig1.pdf and export to pdflatex, Lyx generates


\includegraphics[width=0.8\columnwidth,keepaspectratio]{Fig1}

If I compile this, a new file Fig1.png is generated. This is the 
pixeled version which is used for the output.

If I change the above line in the pdflatex file to

\includegraphics[width=0.8\columnwidth,keepaspectratio]{Fig1.pdf}

the output is o.k.

Maybe it would be good not to truncate picture names in LyX. (In earlier 
version there was the issue, for instance, that LyX selected Fig1.eps 
even if Fig1.pdf was selected in the manuscript. This is a disturbing 
feature.)

I guess a lot of users use the no-extension facility to compile 
both in latex and pdflatex, so forcing the extension again would be
a regression IMHO.

The graphics doc (20/02/2006) states
cite
 \DeclareGraphicsExtensions { ext-list } 
 This specifies the behaviour of the system when the argument to 
 \includegraphics does not have an extension specified. 
 Here { ext-list } should be a commaseparated list of file extensions, each 
with 
 a leading period (.). A file name is produced by appending sep and one 
 extension.
 If a file is found, the system acts as if that extension had been specified. 
If 
 not, the next extension in ext-list is tried.
 Each use of \DeclareGraphicsExtensions overwrites all previous definitions.
 It is not possible to add an extension to an existing list. 
 Early versions of this package defined a default argument for this command.
 This has been removed.
 /cite

The last sentence indicates that you MUST specify yourself the
precedence between graphics formats with recent versions of the graphics 
package (TL 2007, MiKTeX 2.5 packagings). So there are two possibilities
 - either lyx leaves precedence control to the user
 - or lyx sets a default precedence similar to what we were used to:
 vector graphics rather than bitmaps, i.e. look for pdf before png before jpg.
 
In the latter case, the user can still wipe out lyx default setting
if the preamble is insterted after the lyx \DeclareGraphicsExtensions command,

Re: Lyx 1.4.4. of Sat Feb 17: PDF graphics problem

Subject: Re: Lyx 1.4.4. of Sat Feb 17: PDF graphics problem

Thanks a lot, Paul. The issue does not relate to previews etc. I have 
digged myself.

The issue relates to the LyX-MikTeX interaction and warrants some 
changes in LyX, I think.

If I embed Fig1.pdf and export to pdflatex, Lyx generates


\includegraphics[width=0.8\columnwidth,keepaspectratio]{Fig1}

If I compile this, a new file Fig1.png is generated. This is the 
pixeled version which is used for the output.

If I change the above line in the pdflatex file to

\includegraphics[width=0.8\columnwidth,keepaspectratio]{Fig1.pdf}

the output is o.k.

Maybe it would be good not to truncate picture names in LyX. (In earlier 
version there was the issue, for instance, that LyX selected Fig1.eps 
even if Fig1.pdf was selected in the manuscript. This is a disturbing 
feature.)

I guess a lot of users use the no-extension facility to compile 
both in latex and pdflatex, so forcing the extension again would be
a regression IMHO.

The graphics doc (20/02/2006) states
cite
 \DeclareGraphicsExtensions { ext-list } 
 This specifies the behaviour of the system when the argument to 
 \includegraphics does not have an extension specified. 
 Here { ext-list } should be a commaseparated list of file extensions, each 
with 
 a leading period (.). A file name is produced by appending sep and one 
 extension.
 If a file is found, the system acts as if that extension had been specified. 
If 
 not, the next extension in ext-list is tried.
 Each use of \DeclareGraphicsExtensions overwrites all previous definitions.
 It is not possible to add an extension to an existing list. 
 Early versions of this package defined a default argument for this command.
 This has been removed.
 /cite

The last sentence indicates that you MUST specify yourself the
precedence between graphics formats with recent versions of the graphics 
package (TL 2007, MiKTeX 2.5 packagings). So there are two possibilities
 - either lyx leaves precedence control to the user
 - or lyx sets a default precedence similar to what we were used to:
 vector graphics rather than bitmaps, i.e. look for pdf before png before jpg.
 
In the latter case, the user can still wipe out lyx default setting
if the preamble is insterted after the lyx \DeclareGraphicsExtensions command,
orv with \AtBeginDocument.

Strace shows that LyX writes out a bunch of files
(basename.{4ct,4tc,tex,tmp,xref}) in a temp directory, checks for the
existence of a bunch of files in texmf/tex/latex/ (finds them all),
checks for basename.dvi and basename.sxw in the temp directory and then
returns.  I guess it's not actually running the appropriate helper
program... is it oolatex?

If oolatex does not exist, 
mk4ht oolatex $$i

   The beamer user guide has details on specifying a different class when
producing handouts or speaker's notes from the slide presentation. But,
those additional classes are not available within LyX ... at least, not on
what's installed here.

These are class options, that you may specify via
Document-Settings-Document Class
So you don't need an extra layout.

   What's the recommended way to print the slides on paper? I'll make my
notes on that since I won't have my notebook sitting at the podium with me

Personnally I create the pdf (either with the trans or handout option,
to fold slides in frames) and the I turn it into a 2 per page portrait

Jean-Pierre,

   It was the float, not the graphic itself. When I deleted the float and
placed the graphic itself, up it floated. I'm going to try \hspace{1cm} to
move it away from the left edge of the frame.

Why not use Edit-Paragraph setting ? Control is in the

anti-aliased fonts, but the spellchecker window has not).

Do I miss some package ? I don't have dependency check

Re: pass options to subfigure (or other package loaded automatically)

Subject: pass options to subfigure  (or other package loaded automatically)
Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2007 12:49:46 -0500

Hey everybody,

I'm quite new to LyX, so please bear with me here. I checked the
documentation and Google (which apparently does not know everything),
but could not find the answer to the following situation. I have a
document where I use subfigures. So I used the subfigure option in LyX,
put a caption and everything works perfect. But I'm a freak and I insist
on my captions being centered--which is not the default in LaTeX and for
subfigures, even if you use \centering or load the ccaption package
(ccaption deals with the figure captions, but not the subfigure ones).
In pure LaTeX, I would load the subfigure package with the center
option. But if I try to do that in LyX, I get an error of conflicting
options, because LyX already loads subfigure, but with no options. So
now we come to my question: Is there any way to tell LyX to load a
package that it loads by default with certain options? I guess the same
would hold for other packages (like natbib, for instance).

You can always pass an option to a package by délaring it as a class option
Document-Settings-Document Class-options
But it will be passed to any package understanding it...

YOu may try this anyway.

 No. But you get something readable as opposed to some TeX commands.

Having different fonts in figures and text is ugly.

A strong incentive to use special text in xfig and External

Without originaldir, the conversion is made in the temporary dir where

However, Export does not copy the files to the doc dir.

So if your reset the originaldir flag,  your files will be in

So to conclude, I think it's ok to use the paragraph alignment dialog to 
make the figure centered in LyX 1.4 and later. (Hope I got this right)

Right, lyx exports a centering environment instead of a center environment
as previously:

\begin{figure}
\begin{centering}
\includegraphics{/usr/local/share/lyx/clipart/platypus}
\par\end{centering}
\caption{test}
\end{figure}

However, the visual appearance of the figure in the inset does not reflect
the status of the paragraph setting:
 - flush left for Left, Right and Center
 - indented for Justified.
Should be centered when  Paragraph is Center, flushed right
when paragraph is Right, thats the only way to see how the Paragraph is set
without opening it.

I have read in the Beamer manual that if I use the line:

\titlegraphic{\pgfuseimage{logo_universitat_blanco}}

You need to declare the image before using it, e,g.
\pgfdeclareimage[width=2cm]{logo_universitat_blanco}{path_to_my_logo}

Beware that with lyx the path must be absolute.

If you want to use relative path, you may use graphicx instead of pgf:
\titlegraphic{\includegraphics[width=2cm]{my_logo}}

Make sure to have both my_logo.pdf and my_logo.eps available if you
want to compile in latex and pdflatex.
