 Hi all.
 
 I'll be submitting my thesis soon. The university requires that the thesis be

 I don't want to manually change the settings on the printer. Is there a way to
 force LyX to generate postscript documents that print on one side only?
 
 Thanks.

Here's a truly hackish solution for you:

1) Generate a postscript file (foo.ps)

2) Use the psutils package and do:

i=0
while [ $i -lt 999 ] === replace 999 with the number of pages
do
psselect -p$i foo.ps | lpr

Lyx and german special characters

Hi,

I'm working since four weeks with lyx. In this time I have not found out,
how to get easily a german "ß" in the postscript. The only way it works, is
to write \ss\ in Latex-style. But this is not very comfortable.

Re: xfig figure with formula

2000-03-13 Thread Laurent DUVAL

* until now I have included my figures from xfig with eps which works
* fine.
* Now I need a formula inside the figure. The manual says, that I should
* save the figure in xfig as ps_tex and ps_tex_t.
* However, when I load ps_tex_t, I get an error message, that there is no
* bounding box.
* When I try it with include file, then I cannot see the figure (not on the
* screen and not with xdvi).
* I work with Lyx 1.0.3 and Solaris 2.7.

Hallo,

At least, it works fine with lyx 1.0.4, when I input the figure (use
Insert/Include File and check the input box) inside a figure float.
There may be problems when the special text flag in Xfig is not set, or when
a formula misses a $.
Futhermore, figures should be in the proper directory.

I don't know if it really can help you, I don't understand what you exactly 
tried.

If you succeed in figure centering, I'd be glad to know how.

I don't know if it really can help you, I don't understand what you exactly

Maybe my explanation was not very clear:
I have produced a figure with xfig 3.1 and called xfig with -specialtext flag.
Then I have tried two things:
1. -insert-figure encapsulated postscript
   I have given filename.pstex_t
   Nothing is displayed on the screen and in xdvi
   When I take filename.pstex then I can see the figure, but the LaTeX code
   is not translated. It is only the information in the eps file.
2. -insert-file

   It does not display anything in xdvi.

Re: xfig figure with formula

2000-03-13 Thread Laurent DUVAL

* is there a special directory, where they should be?

It is easier if both your figures (pstex and pstex_t) are in the same directory
as the lyx file (since, as far as I understand, the pstex_t includes the path
for the pstex).

* 2. -insert-file
*I have given filename.pstex_t
*It does not display anything in xdvi.

I am just a novice lyx user, so forgive me if I cannot answer your needs:

Insert a \usepackage{epsfig} in your preamble (doesn't work without it here)
Insert float/Figure
and inside the figure red box, try
Insert/Include File (input checked)

It works at least for me.

Since a picture is worth a 1000 words, a sample file is included.
If it doesn't work for you, I can't help.

Yes, use the other way round: import LyX formulas in xfig.
A bit cumbersome, but efficient:
 - create a LyX document for each math insert in xfig, say foo.lyx
 - export as LateX - foo.tex
 - compile and produce an eps image - foo.eps (option -E of dvips)
 - insert in xfig
Be sure to have a \pagestyle{empty} if you want an eps of the right size.

Here is an example in foo.tex (one step back for foo.lyx):
 \documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
$\mathcal{H}_\infty$
\end{document}
then
latex foo;dvips -E -o foo.eps foo

When you use it often, you will be happy to build a bank of formulas.
You might probably use the customize command of LyX to implement it.

Of the newsgroups that I subscribe to  comp.compilers is the only
one that is moderated.  As a result I can process it daily
without reading a lot of material that I tend to think should not
have been posted in the first place.  In that newsgroup the moderator
will often answer questions directly if he knows the answer
right away and avoid having them being posted.  
As a result of this experience I MUCH prefer moderated usergroups.

Of course this would require a fair amount of work by the moderator.

Unfortunately I lack both the experience with Lyx and the necessary

can be rotated amoung a number of "experts".

Figure labeling - format question

2000-03-13 Thread Mr. Geepus the Sweeper

Hi...

I've just noticed something that has apparently been this way for some
time, but now that I've noticed it bothers me.  :)

I have several documents, just for personal and informal use, that use
the "report (koma-script)" style.  In the printed output, the captions of
figures and tables read, "Figure 1.1.: Blah..."  Notice the ".:", which looks
odd to me.  (Is it a standard, somewhere?)  Was this layout designed that way
intentionally, or is something wrong here?

More to my immediate benefit, how may I change this behavior?  I know
little of TeX except what I've picked up from this list, but I expect there's
one little line I could put in the preamble or near the top of the document(s)
to solve this... at least I hope so.  :)

(LyX says it is "Version 1.1.4 of Thu, Feb 3, 2000", which I compiled
here from a SRPM.  I don't have info on "scrrept.sty", but its header says,
"Copyright 1994-1997 Markus Kohm and Frank Neukam.")

 I understand that what you guys are doing to take LyX to the top is

 the communication among LyX users and developers. This would be a
 major step towards opening LyX to the outer ("non-LyX") world.

Since I don't know any newsgroups, what would be the advantage of it to
this mailinglist, considering the content? I don't think it's a very
good idea to split up the information, because the lyx-users isn't a
high traffic list anyway ... just my thoughts.

In fact, I just made a lyxgdb RPM for lyx-1.1.4-fix2

It contains a ``lyxgdb'' binary which is lyx-1.1.4-fix2 binary
with all the debugging symbols.

The basic idea being that if you get a crashing bug in lyx-1.1.4-fix2 and
can reproduce it, you can just install this lyxgdb RPM, try and reproduce
the problem and send back a useful bug report.

 Sorry to keep you running around in circles.  I should have noticed you
 had a stripped binary from your earlier emails.

Here's a truly hackish solution for you:

1) Generate a postscript file (foo.ps)

Re: xfig figure with formula

* until now I have included my figures from xfig with eps which works

* Now I need a formula inside the figure. The manual says, that I should
* save the figure in xfig as ps_tex and ps_tex_t.
* However, when I load ps_tex_t, I get an error message, that there is no

Hallo,

At least, it works fine with lyx 1.0.4, when I input the figure (use
Insert/Include File and check the input box) inside a figure float.
There may be problems when the special text flag in Xfig is not set, or when
a formula misses a $.
Futhermore, figures should be in the proper directory.

I don't know if it really can help you, I don't understand what you exactly 
tried.

If you succeed in figure centering, I'd be glad to know how.

I don't know if it really can help you, I don't understand what you exactly

Maybe my explanation was not very clear:
I have produced a figure with xfig 3.1 and called xfig with -specialtext flag.
Then I have tried two things:
1. -insert-figure encapsulated postscript
   I have given filename.pstex_t
   Nothing is displayed on the screen and in xdvi
   When I take filename.pstex then I can see the figure, but the LaTeX code

Re: xfig figure with formula

2000-03-13 Thread Laurent DUVAL

* is there a special directory, where they should be?

It is easier if both your figures (pstex and pstex_t) are in the same directory
as the lyx file (since, as far as I understand, the pstex_t includes the path
for the pstex).

* 2. -insert-file
*I have given filename.pstex_t
*It does not display anything in xdvi.

I am just a novice lyx user, so forgive me if I cannot answer your needs:

Insert a \usepackage{epsfig} in your preamble (doesn't work without it here)
Insert float/Figure
and inside the figure red box, try
Insert/Include File (input checked)

It works at least for me.

Since a picture is worth a 1000 words, a sample file is included.
If it doesn't work for you, I can't help.

Yes, use the other way round: import LyX formulas in xfig.
A bit cumbersome, but efficient:
 - create a LyX document for each math insert in xfig, say foo.lyx
 - export as LateX - foo.tex
 - compile and produce an eps image - foo.eps (option -E of dvips)
 - insert in xfig
Be sure to have a \pagestyle{empty} if you want an eps of the right size.

Here is an example in foo.tex (one step back for foo.lyx):
 \documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
$\mathcal{H}_\infty$
\end{document}
then
latex foo;dvips -E -o foo.eps foo

When you use it often, you will be happy to build a bank of formulas.
You might probably use the customize command of LyX to implement it.

a way to translate the "Contents" string or change it in some way? How is it
done?

Another thing is that I have a table inserted in my document, however,
I cannot make lines within a document to break, I cant insert breaks in lines
in table cells... and this makes my table run out of the screen and paper... Is
there a way to remedy this as well?

Of the newsgroups that I subscribe to  comp.compilers is the only
one that is moderated.  As a result I can process it daily
without reading a lot of material that I tend to think should not
have been posted in the first place.  In that newsgroup the moderator
will often answer questions directly if he knows the answer
right away and avoid having them being posted.  
As a result of this experience I MUCH prefer moderated usergroups.

Of course this would require a fair amount of work by the moderator.

Unfortunately I lack both the experience with Lyx and the necessary
time to be the moderator.  Perhaps the position of moderator 
can be rotated amoung a number of "experts".

figures and tables read, "Figure 1.1.: Blah..."  Notice the ".:", which looks
odd to me.  (Is it a standard, somewhere?)  Was this layout designed that way
intentionally, or is something wrong here?

More to my immediate benefit, how may I change this behavior?  I know
little of TeX except what I've picked up from this list, but I expect there's
one little line I could put in the preamble or near the top of the document(s)
to solve this... at least I hope so.  :)

(LyX says it is "Version 1.1.4 of Thu, Feb 3, 2000", which I compiled
here from a SRPM.  I don't have info on "scrrept.sty", but its header says,
"Copyright 1994-1997 Markus Kohm and Frank Neukam.")

Problems with installing lyx 1.1.4 under Suse 6.3

2000-03-13 Thread airwulf

Hello lyx-users,

I will install Lyx 1.1.4 on my Suse Linux 6.3, but when i try
"./configure" i get always the same error message.
Error: "Can't find libxforms.so..." and "Forms.h"
But i have installed xforms 0.88 and i tried it again after i have
installed xforms 0.89.glibc and it doesn't configure Lyx 1.1.4.

Where is my mistake ! I can't find any mistake i made ??

 I understand that what you guys are doing to take LyX to the top is
 a great work. However, I strongly belive that creating a LyX

 the communication among LyX users and developers. This would be a
 major step towards opening LyX to the outer ("non-LyX") world.

Since I don't know any newsgroups, what would be the advantage of it to
this mailinglist, considering the content? I don't think it's a very
good idea to split up the information, because the lyx-users isn't a
high traffic list anyway ... just my thoughts.

The basic idea being that if you get a crashing bug in lyx-1.1.4-fix2 and

Here's a truly hackish solution for you:

1) Generate a postscript file (foo.ps)

2) Use the psutils package and do:

i=0
while [ $i -lt 999 ] <=== replace 999 with the number of pages

Re: xfig figure with formula

* until now I have included my figures from xfig with eps which works

* Now I need a formula inside the figure. The manual says, that I should
* save the figure in xfig as ps_tex and ps_tex_t.
* However, when I load ps_tex_t, I get an error message, that there is no

Hallo,

At least, it works fine with lyx 1.0.4, when I input the figure (use
Insert/Include File and check the input box) inside a figure float.
There may be problems when the special text flag in Xfig is not set, or when
a formula misses a $.
Futhermore, figures should be in the proper directory.

I don't know if it really can help you, I don't understand what you exactly 
tried.

If you succeed in figure centering, I'd be glad to know how.

If I do this, then it displays "file=filename.pstex" and thats it.

is there a special directory, where they should be?

Maybe my explanation was not very clear:
I have produced a figure with xfig 3.1 and called xfig with -specialtext flag.
Then I have tried two things:
1. ->insert->figure encapsulated postscript
   I have given filename.pstex_t
   Nothing is displayed on the screen and in xdvi
   When I take filename.pstex then I can see the figure, but the LaTeX code
   is not translated. It is only the information in the eps file.
2. ->insert->file
   I have given filename.pstex_t
   It does not display anything in xdvi.

Thanks,

Re: xfig figure with formula

2000-03-13 Thread Laurent DUVAL

* is there a special directory, where they should be?

It is easier if both your figures (pstex and pstex_t) are in the same directory
as the lyx file (since, as far as I understand, the pstex_t includes the path
for the pstex).

* 2. ->insert->file
*I have given filename.pstex_t
*It does not display anything in xdvi.

I am just a novice lyx user, so forgive me if I cannot answer your needs:

Insert a \usepackage{epsfig} in your preamble (doesn't work without it here)
Insert float/Figure
and inside the figure red box, try
Insert/Include File (input checked)

It works at least for me.

Since a picture is worth a 1000 words, a sample file is included.
If it doesn't work for you, I can't help.

Yes, use the other way round: import LyX formulas in xfig.
A bit cumbersome, but efficient:
 - create a LyX document for each math insert in xfig, say foo.lyx
 - export as LateX -> foo.tex
 - compile and produce an eps image -> foo.eps (option -E of dvips)
 - insert in xfig
Be sure to have a \pagestyle{empty} if you want an eps of the right size.

Here is an example in foo.tex (one step back for foo.lyx):
 \documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
$\mathcal{H}_\infty$
\end{document}
then
latex foo;dvips -E -o foo.eps foo

When you use it often, you will be happy to build a bank of formulas.
You might probably use the customize command of LyX to implement it.

Right, did not use it but seems efficient too, from the examples
(I have browsed the doc).

The formula import is more powerful IMHO (in fact, you may
use it to patch any typesetting in xfig - for use in viewgraphs e.g.)

Well, the tiem has come when I finally have a very serious application

The first problem is as follows: When I insert a table of contents, it
works just fine, except for the fact that it is written in english... is there
a way to translate the "Contents" string or change it in some way? How is it
done?

Another thing is that I have a table inserted in my document, however,
I cannot make lines within a document to break, I cant insert breaks in lines
in table cells... and this makes my table run out of the screen and paper... Is
there a way to remedy this as well?

So there are at least three of us ;-)

I just had a look at news.admin.misc and found a message under
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
("How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup")
that explains the process of creating a newsgroup quite nicely.
But it looks like there was a bit of work involved so I guess
someone has to do it...

I'd vote for an unmoderated group 'comp.text.lyx'.

I think we are not talking about the right to do something but the
'honour' to do some work ;-)

Personally I would much prefer that the newsgroup be moderated.
Of the newsgroups that I subscribe to  comp.compilers is the only
one that is moderated.  As a result I can process it daily
without reading a lot of material that I tend to think should not
have been posted in the first place.  In that newsgroup the moderator
will often answer questions directly if he knows the answer
right away and avoid having them being posted.  
As a result of this experience I MUCH prefer moderated usergroups.

Of course this would require a fair amount of work by the moderator.

Unfortunately I lack both the experience with Lyx and the necessary
time to be the moderator.  Perhaps the position of moderator 
can be rotated amoung a number of "experts".

Personally I hate the lag created by moderation.

And that's the problem... well, before argueing whether we will find a
moderator we could as well ask whether somebody wants to do this job:

Is there anybody reading here who feels able and is willing to moderate
a newsgroup?

Figure labeling - format question

2000-03-13 Thread Mr. Geepus the Sweeper

Hi...

I've just noticed something that has apparently been this way for some
time, but now that I've noticed it bothers me.  :)

I have several documents, just for personal and informal use, that use
the "report (koma-script)" style.  In the printed output, the captions of
figures and tables read, "Figure 1.1.: Blah..."  Notice the ".:", which looks
odd to me.  (Is it a standard, somewhere?)  Was this layout designed that way
intentionally, or is something wrong here?

More to my immediate benefit, how may I change this behavior?  I know
little of TeX except what I've picked up from this list, but I expect there's
one little line I could put in the preamble or near the top of the document(s)
to solve this... at least I hope so.  :)

(LyX says it is "Version 1.1.4 of Thu, Feb 3, 2000", which I compiled
here from a SRPM.  I don't have info on "scrrept.sty", but its header says,
"Copyright 1994-1997 Markus Kohm and Frank Neukam.")

Thanks,

I agree about the lag.  The purpose of this newsgroup would be to get
QUICK help on problems.

The goal of having a moderator is to avoid having overload caused by
heated discussions.  That would not be a problem for a LyX newsgroup.

Problems with installing lyx 1.1.4 under Suse 6.3

2000-03-13 Thread airwulf

Hello lyx-users,

I will install Lyx 1.1.4 on my Suse Linux 6.3, but when i try
"./configure" i get always the same error message.
Error: "Can't find libxforms.so..." and "Forms.h"
But i have installed xforms 0.88 and i tried it again after i have
installed xforms 0.89.glibc and it doesn't configure Lyx 1.1.4.

Where is my mistake ! I can't find any mistake i made ??





Thx

Since I don't know any newsgroups, what would be the advantage of it to
this mailinglist, considering the content? I don't think it's a very
good idea to split up the information, because the lyx-users isn't a
high traffic list anyway ... just my thoughts.
 
Cheers, Pablo


P.S.: This is not to be meant offensive, but I'm too lazy to figure out
how newsgroups are working and I don't want use Netscape ;o)

P.S.S.: Perhaps there is a way to transform mail- to newspostings and
the other way round, perhaps this could be a solution?

Re: Crash in 1.1.4fix2

In fact, I just made a lyxgdb RPM for lyx-1.1.4-fix2

It contains a ``lyxgdb'' binary which is lyx-1.1.4-fix2 binary
with all the debugging symbols.

The basic idea being that if you get a crashing bug in lyx-1.1.4-fix2 and
can reproduce it, you can just install this lyxgdb RPM, try and reproduce
the problem and send back a useful bug report.

Me too.

Hi everyone,

We now have the Redhat 5.X RPM packages for lyx-1.1.4-fix2 uploaded

Hi,

I just uploaded to ftp.sylvan.com,

lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm.RH51.rpm
tetex-lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm.RH51.rpm

These rpms were created on a RedHat 5.1 system with standard egcs-1.0.2,
so they should work on all RedHat 5.x systems.
Best regards,
Jacek.
