Re: Springer Style in Lyx
The lecture notes style is given by the llncs.cls class. If that is the one you
want to use, then LyX includes already a layout.
The svjour3.cls class is for journals. The layout that you created should work (if I am not wrong). Be sure that you reconfigure LyX to
have the layout available.
Cheers,
Nicolás

Re: Is it possible to insert bibliography after the appendices?
I am not sure if Charles' solution will always work. I myself had a similiar problem. I had several child documents, each of them
describing a chapter of a book. One of the child documents had an appendix, and the result was that all the child documents (i.e.
chapters) following the one with the appendix appeared as part of the appendix itself. In my case I was using the memoir class. To
solve the problem I used \begin{subappendices} and \end{subappendices}, which is part of the appendix package that is natively
supported by the memoir class. In your case I guess you should use \begin{appendices} and \end{appendices}. That is, forget about Lyx's
support of appendices and insert those commands inside an ERT insert at the beginning and end of your appendix. You may also need to
load the appendix package in the document preamble with \usepackage{appendix}.

Hi Manoj -
This has a pretty easy solution. You can put the appendix into a child
document[s] (i.e. its own Lyx file or files). Then, in your thesis, you can
do
Insert File Child Document
There will be a small gray box in your Lyx document that now represents the
Appendix file. Next, you can go to a line after that gray box and do
Insert List / TOC BibTeX Bibliography (or whatever you want to put after
the Appendix)
and make sure its gray box goes after the Appendix's gray box. I just
tested this out to make sure it works OK using LyX 1.5.6.
(Note that if you are using macros in your Appendix, you'll have to also
include those in the document before you run the latex part. You could even
put those macros in their own file and include them as a child document.)

Problem with LyX 1.6 on Windows

Re: algorithm2e in LyX 1.5.6: algorithm already defined
This seems to be a problem with version 1.5.6, since I have used algorithm2e with Lyx 1.5.5 and had no problem. Since I do not have
installed v1.5.6 (don't know why :-)), I cannot say if you can do anything to solve your problem. Take a look at Document Settings to
see if there is any option concerning algorithms. Unless anyone else gives a solution, I suggest that you file a bug in bugzilla.lyx.org.
A possible workaround is to install v 1.5.5. I think it should be able to
coexist with your current version.

Re: Converting msword to LyX is ugly!
All that seems like too much work! I would first try to convert Word to Latex, import into LyX and chechk the result. You will still probably have to do some manual adjustment, but they will hopefully be less. I recently use this application: http://www.grindeq.com/index.php?p=word2latex It is not free, but you can download a trail version. If I am not wrong, it works with all the features for a limited period of time. Since you only want to do one conversion, it should be enough. Good luck!

Re: Why the ugly PNG pictures?
I strongly suggest you to use the OTEditor utility to convert Visio diagrams to EPS. I have been using it for a long time now and I am very, very happy with the result. OTEditor is a free program that can be downloaded from www.sourceforge.net/projects/oletex. It is rather simple to install and to use. Assuming that you have this program installed, this are the steps to make the conversion: 1- Select the diagram in Visio, Powerpoint, etc 2- Copy it into the OTEditor 3- Choose EPS properties and give a name (you may also change the size of the figure) 4- Choose Convert.. and that's it! One nice thing is that the generated EPS has a correct bounding box! Nicolás Aleksandar Kanchev wrote: Hey Georg, thanks a lot for this nice explanation. I figured out yesterday that using bitmaps (i.e. PNG, JPEG) is not the right way. I actually tried exporting the drawing into SVG from MS Visio but it was a disaster. Visio itself was able to recreate the drawing without any problems, but unfortunately the libraries that came with Fedora 9 couldn't. I also tried other free tools like inkscape, but none of them could handle the Visio SVG. So I'm currently using the Adobe Illustrator, I'm importing the SVG from Visio than I'm exporting it to EPS. It works wonderfully, the drawing looks to be exactly the same. Thanks for the link about the Metafile EPS Converter. I don't know how did I miss that.

The PNG looks nice in LyX itself, but when I create a pdf the picture gets over-scaled beyond the page size. I tried forcing the picture size in lyx but it looked like it was first over-scaled, then scaled again to the size I gave it and as a result it looked completely ugly. This seems to be a problem with PNG files, I tried exporting from MS Visio the same file with the same size in JPEG and it displayed ok in LyX and the picture wasn't over-scaled I left it to automatically scale the picture. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a known problem with PNG files? Could it be fixed? I really don't like JPEG, the diagram looks better in PNG. The picture size is 14x11,2 cm or 529x423 pixels. It is the nature of bitmap files that the size is always measured in pixels, never in physical length units like cm. Some bitmap formats do allow to specify a resolution, so that you can relate pixels to physical lengths, but this setting is usually ignored. In order to get predictable results you should therefore avoid the setting Original size for bitmap files and specify a fixed size, either in physical length units or LaTeX variables, e.g. page width. If you get ugly looking PNGs you are probably not using pdflatex (which supports PNG directly), and a bad PNG-EPS converter. Georg

The PNG looks nice in LyX itself, but when I create a pdf the picture gets over-scaled beyond the page size. I tried forcing the picture size in lyx but it looked like it was first over-scaled, then scaled again to the size I gave it and as a result it looked completely ugly. This seems to be a problem with PNG files, I tried exporting from MS Visio the same file with the same size in JPEG and it displayed ok in LyX and the picture wasn't over-scaled I left it to automatically scale the picture. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a known problem with PNG files? Could it be fixed? I really don't like JPEG, the diagram looks better in PNG. The picture size is 14x11,2 cm or 529x423 pixels. It is the nature of bitmap files that the size is always measured in pixels, never in physical length units like cm. Some bitmap formats do allow to specify a resolution, so that you can relate pixels to physical lengths, but this setting is usually ignored. In order to get predictable results you should therefore avoid the setting Original size for bitmap files and specify a fixed size, either in physical length units or LaTeX variables, e.g. page width. If you get ugly looking PNGs you are probably not using pdflatex (which supports PNG directly), and a bad PNG-EPS converter. Georg
Re: Why the ugly PNG pictures?
I strongly suggest you to use the OTEditor utility to convert Visio diagrams to EPS. I have been using it for a long time now and I am very, very happy with the result. OTEditor is a free program that can be downloaded from www.sourceforge.net/projects/oletex. It is rather simple to install and to use. Assuming that you have this program installed, this are the steps to make the conversion: 1- Select the diagram in Visio, Powerpoint, etc 2- Copy it into the OTEditor 3- Choose "EPS properties" and give a name (you may also change the size of the figure) 4- Choose "Convert.." and that's it! One nice thing is that the generated EPS has a correct bounding box! Nicolás Aleksandar Kanchev wrote: Hey Georg, thanks a lot for this nice explanation. I figured out yesterday that using bitmaps (i.e. PNG, JPEG) is not the right way. I actually tried exporting the drawing into SVG from MS Visio but it was a disaster. Visio itself was able to recreate the drawing without any problems, but unfortunately the libraries that came with Fedora 9 couldn't. I also tried other free tools like inkscape, but none of them could handle the Visio SVG. So I'm currently using the Adobe Illustrator, I'm importing the SVG from Visio than I'm exporting it to EPS. It works wonderfully, the drawing looks to be exactly the same. Thanks for the link about the Metafile EPS Converter. I don't know how did I miss that. The automatic convertsion sounds nice, but it's kind of better if you're using LyX under windows. I'll stick with using the Illustrator for now.

Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)
I you select the Clip to bounding box option and get the bounding box from the file, the result will be the same as if you simply do not select the Clip to bounding box option (in my experience, at least). Now, regarding your eps files, are the last two or three eps files really useless? I can see that the only difference with the ok file is that their bounding box is one point bigger in both th evertical and horizontal dimensions. Is that really a problem? What you get is a white frame of less than 1mm of thickness, and since I assume your paper is white... no one will notice such fame! Just my opinion.

Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)
Do you mean that when the eps is displayed in LyX is not clipped, as it would happen if it was opened with Gsview? In my machine I can see the clipped figure both in LyX and in the generated pdf/ps/dvi. I have LyX 1.5.5, ImageMagick-6.2.7-Q16, AFPL Ghostscript 8.14 and GSview 4.6. Nicolás Mukhtar Ullah wrote: Dear Tom, I checked your figures in LyX and could verify your problem. It seems that imagemagick is culprit. I converted your eps files to pdf and included that in LyX. That was shown perfectly clipped. So you could consider switchin gto pdflatex, converting all your eps files by a script using epstopdf command from MiKTeX. That, ofcourse, will only be possible if you are not using pstricks. Mukhtar

Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)
Do you mean that when the eps is displayed in LyX is not clipped, as it would happen if it was opened with Gsview? In my machine I can see the clipped figure both in LyX and in the generated pdf/ps/dvi. I have LyX 1.5.5, ImageMagick-6.2.7-Q16, AFPL Ghostscript 8.14 and GSview 4.6.

That, ofcourse, will only be possible if you are not using pstricks. Mukhtar
Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)
I you select the "Clip to bounding box" option and get the bounding box from the file, the result will be the same as if you simply do not select the "Clip to bounding box" option (in my experience, at least). Now, regarding your eps files, are the last two or three eps files really useless?

Find Replace with ERT insets
Hi! LyX (v1.5.5) is able to find a certain text string inside an ERT inset. However, the automatic replacement feature does not seem to work. Is this a bug or the intended behavior? If the second case applies, what is the reason for such behavior? Thanks! Nicolás

Re: No headers with memoir class
Thanks Maksi!
Your solution almost worked. It removed the headings as I wanted, but I also
wanted the page number on the foot of the page.
I have seen now that the plain page style defined by memoir is exactly the one I want. So by setting \pagestyle{plain} I solved my
problem.
I have also seen now that there was some related info already in the list:

If I got you right, you want to avoid your default page style (headings) for
some parts of a document. Try to insert some ERT before:
\pagestyle{empty}
and after the section:
\pagestyle{your_style_as_in_document_settings_dialogue}
This should work but I have not tried it myself.

Discussion: Labels and parent-child documents
You are right in that we may have cross-references between children documents. I still think that my proposal of automatically renaming
labels is a good idea. What you say is actually not a problem is a little of care is taken by LyX when inserting cros-references.
Imagine we are working in document A and want to insert a reference to a label LabelInA in the same document. Then LyX would
introduce the reference as usual, i.e. \ref{LabelInA}. Now we want to insert a reference to a label LabelInB in same document B. LyX
would detect that the label is in another document (easy, since we have to choose that document in the cross-references dialog) and
introduce the reference as, e.g., \ref{DocumentB:LabelInB}.
Now, when we include document A in a third document and compile, LyX would rename all labels of document A (and of all documents,
including the master) by adding a prefix DocumentA: and would update the references (in the same document A) to those lables
accordingly (in our example would change \ref{LabelInA} to \ref{DocumentA:LabelInA}). Note that the \ref{DocumentB:LabelInB} would not
be modified, and that would not be necessary, since the labels in document B would also be renamed by adding prefix DocumentB: to them.
I actually thing that, with independence of doing what I say or not, differentiating whether a reference points to a label in the same
document or in another document is wise to facilitate debugging, in case this is necessary.
Cheers,
Nicolás

From the Paragraph settings dialog you can select if you want your paragraph justified, centered, etc. Nicolás sarah84 wrote: Hello again, Acutally I used standard for this part of my memo, I used it to write the section. for exemple: MADCOW (the section title Section) (Multimedia Annotation of Digital Content Over the Web) est un système d’annotation pour les documents multimédias, créé par des chercheurs de l’université de Rome «La Sapienza» (Standard) Because if i will use Paragraphe insted of Standard in the visualtion it will be Bold, and bigger.

Hello again,
Acutally I used "standard" for this part of my memo, I used it to write the
section. for exemple:
MADCOW (the section title "Section")
(Multimedia Annotation of Digital Content Over the Web) est un système
d’annotation pour les documents multimédias, créé par des chercheurs de
l’université de Rome «La Sapienza» ("Standard")
Because if i will use "Paragraphe" insted of "Standard" in the visualtion it

Re: Footnote without numbering (new)
It works for me when using the article textclass. This is, I guess, because the style of the title page is set to plain, and not the
rest of the document. But it is true that the behavior may change with other classes. I have seen now that the major sectioning
commands (\part, \chapter or \maketitle) specify a \thispagestyle{plain}. So the footer would be repeated at the beginning of every
part or chapter. To avoid that the plain style should be redefined after a new \chapter or \part, if I am not wrong. Take a look here

A possibility to get a footnote not connected to a part of the document is
to use the fancyhdr package
In the preamble, write:

The style Adrian describes seems to be relatively common in the US, for
various purposes. For example, many journals set text formatted as a
footnote with no number (often on the first or last page of an article),
with material such as previous publication, requirements for reproduction,
acknowledgments, and so on.
A couple of examples I have to hand are _Critical Inquiry_ and
_Communications of the ACM_.
So I'm not surprised that Adrian's college uses the same convention when
documenting prior publication.

How can I do this?
Hi! I am writing a thesis and I need to include some articles verbatim, that is, with the format and style they where originally published. Using child documents requires files to have the same style. So how can I do, if it is possible, what I want to do? Thanks Nicolás

Awful feature or bug?
Hi! When I select something in a document and then press Ctrl+N+N to get it inserted into a LyX Note, the part of the document that I had selected goes into the clipboard. I guess this is a bug. Or is it an awful feature? Nicolás

Re: Downloading missing latex classes
I see your point. I still think that something could be done (I am a persistent person! :-) ). Many applications have an initial screen that is displayed while all the needed libraries, etc are loaded. LyX may have something similar. Once LyX is launched, and before latex.exe is invoked, an initial screen could be displayed saying something like LyX is being started. This make take some time.. In most of the cases, this screen would be closed before the user can read anything. In cases where Miktex needs to download something, the user would know it may take time to launch LyX. Nicolás Paul A. Rubin wrote: Nicolás wrote: Yes, I guess it was Miktex, and not directly LyX, that was downloading the style or class. But MikTex is certainly called from LyX. I do not necessarily expect getting a dialog showing the exact status of the downloading process, but, at least, I expect to see a dialog saying Downloading . Please wait. That way I can know that LyX is running. Because believe me. It can become quite confusing if the downloading takes long and nothing is known regarding what is happening. But anyway, it was just a suggestion. :-) It's a good suggestion; I just don't know if it's feasible to implement. The problem is that I don't think LyX knows what MiKTeX is doing. LyX spawns a child process to run latex.exe (or pdflatex.exe). It then waits for that program to issue a return code (success or failure). There is no ongoing communication between latex.exe and LyX (that I'm aware of), so no way for LyX to know that MiKTeX is downloading something. I have MiKTeX set to ask permission before downloading a missing package, so at least that way I know what it's up to (although it's still hard to tell if it is making any progress or just blocked). A lot of MiKTeX users apparently are not aware of the various options for dealing with missing packages, though, and I know for them it's confusing to have MiKTeX go off into space, particularly if they have a slow connection (or no connection). But I'm pretty sure that if anything is going to issue a busy downloading warning, it is going to have to be MiKTeX; I don't think there is any way that LyX can know this is going on. Cheers, Paul
