If this thing is really a poster rather than a multipage document, and especially if it has pictures and text specifically placed in certain places, I recommend Inkscape instead of LyX.

Hello, What are your recommendations to make a poster (a0) ?

The solution? I guess you should write your own my_dvips.py

Re: poster view/export postscript page size problem.
What is set in Layout-Document-Paper? Since there is no a0 option I used default. Now, I change it to 33.11 by 46.81 inch and the output is better, but the margins are still messed up. I find that the problem is caused by the margins settings: with this custom paper size, margin can not be set to default and display/use 1,1,1,1 for top, bottom, inner and outer margins. ... Further play with the margin settings does not help. I do not know how to continue but there is no margin information in the sciposter manual. I guess the real solution is *not* adding -t letter for default paper size. Anyway, default is default, not letter. Cheers, Bo

poster view/export postscript page size problem.
Dear list, I am using sciposter.cls to produce a poster. I set a0 and other options as recommended by the sciposter manual. If I export latex, run latex, dvips, I would get a correct poster. However, within lyx, view dvi is fine but view/export ps/pdf only gives me a corner of the poster. I checked converters, dvi-ps uses dvips -o $$o $$i which is perfectly normal. What might went wrong? How can I know what command, option lyx actually used to view/export? (The status-line goes too quickly.) BTW, I simply use Input article.layout in sciposter.layout. Maybe this is causing the problem? Thanks. Bo

I've got .pdfs of the manuals for both of these up on my web site, http://members.aol.com/willadams (still updating it though) Alan Hoenig's wonderful book _TeX Unbound_ is in many ways a paean to the virtues of running TeX in NeXTstep.

Re: Poster layout ?
I'd said: Dunno how much this'll help, but when I did a poster, I did it using Altsys Virtuoso on my NeXT Cube and set the text using TeXview.app's ``tex eq -> eps'' Service. And Matej Cepl asked: Are you using LyX on that computer? More's the pity, not at this time. I'd dearly love an OpenStep / Yellow Box / Cocoa front-end for LyX though (but the QT version for OS X is way cool / very nice). If I get MkLinux installed on my wife's PowerMac again, I'll use the latter to run LyX, and display / control it from my Cube using Cube-X though.

Poster with LyX?
Dear LyXers, I have to make presentation on a conference that consists of an article and a poster (120x90 cm). The article is already done -- of course with LyX. For efficiency, I'd like to reuse stuff from the article for my poster. I thought about exporting parts to eps and scaling and arranging nicely with some tool like tgif or the like. Does anybody have some experience with this kind of task? Some more ideas how to do it, which programs to use (under Linux)? Maybe there is a Howto somewhere on the net?

A0 size poster, how
I am new to Lyx, so please apologize to any obvious question that I may have overlooked from the docs. Is it possible to produce A0-size poster? Any clue on how to handle this. I am aware of the a0poster.cls/a0size.sty by [EMAIL PROTECTED] that I have installed in my tetex distribution (although never used). Is it enough to add it to lyx to provide more page and font sizes to the program?

A0 poster using lyx
I was inspired by
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/~robert/posters.html
to try to make my next conference poster all on one big A0 piece of
paper using using latex. My univ has one of these A0 printers.
Before going any further I should ask if anyone has produced an A0poster
using LyX, and if anyone has therefore set up a LyX A0 poster textclass?
I am trying to get the method from the web site working. He has included
an example .tex file. The opening of his .tex file refers to
a0poster.cls, which I attach. I have installed this .cls in
/usr/lib/teTeX/texmf/latex/misc
and ran texhash.
How make this work from LyX? I have read the customization.lyx
section 6 on this. But I still am not clear on it. Is there some fairly
"automatic" way to make a .layout file from a .cls file?
It appears that I have to write a file a0poster.layout and save it in
/usr/local/share/lyx/layouts. Once this is done, I should be able to
select Layout-Document-Class-a0poster. The big problem: how to write a
.layout file? I looked at the ones in the directory and all I know is
that they are not latex, so I can't just rename a0poster.cls to
a0poster.layout.
Thanks very much for any help!

There is no automatic way that I know of. Fortunately, it seems that
his code just takes the article class and changes font sizes and
margins (which are not important for LyX). So as a first step, you can
copy article.layout as a0poster.layout and change the first lines to
read:

# \DeclareLaTeXClass{A0 Poster}
Then run Option-Reconfigure from inside LyX, restart LyX, and it
should work. A few more tweaks could be necessary for correct support,
but most of it should be there.

A0 poster using lyx
I was inspired by
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/~robert/posters.html
to try to make my next conference poster all on one big A0 piece of
paper using using latex. My univ has one of these A0 printers.
Before going any further I should ask if anyone has produced an A0poster
using LyX, and if anyone has therefore set up a LyX A0 poster textclass?

It appears that I have to write a file a0poster.layout and save it in
/usr/local/share/lyx/layouts. Once this is done, I should be able to
select Layout-Document-Class-a0poster. The big problem: how to write a
.layout file? I looked at the ones in the directory and all I know is
that they are not latex, so I can't just rename a0poster.cls to
a0poster.layout.
Thanks very much for any help!
