Hi,
I keep getting the captioned message when I try to VIEW the following LyX
document, which is simply to draw a curve using the PGFplots package. I am
writing other LyX documents but without any TeX code and they VIEW without any
issue.
My steps:
1. Latex preamble: \usepackage{pgfplots}
2. Then in the LyX document the following TeX block:
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}
\addplot [blue, line width = 1, smooth] {3*x^2 + 5*x - 2};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
(nothing else in the document).
3. I press VIEW and after 2 or 3 minutes of "thinking" I get the captioned error
message.
4. LyX asks me if I want to continue or stop. I click stop and then LyX tells
the the "File does not exist" then stops (without crashing).
I looked at a previous post on this issue and they said it was Python-related
issue, but I have no idea what that means.
Could someone help me please?
Thanks
Ian.
PS. I am using LyX 2.1.2 (2014-09-23); Built on Sep 24 2014, 23:53:24; CMake
Build
I am using Windows 7 and LyX was newly installed only one month ago. I am still
a newbie.
Ian,
I used your example and it works fine here (Kubuntu, LyX Version 2.1.3).
By the way, I am very interested in using tikz, since the code is
included in the LyX files. Could you suggest an easy tutorial for it?
