Dear LyX Users,
For the problem of overlapping figures. Please visit:
http://www.seas.smu.edu/~gkoru
The attached files mentioned in the e-mail below (my previous e-mail) can
be found in the above address. Again, I am looking forward to hearing from
you if you have any idea about the solution. Thanks to everybody.

Dear LyX Users,
Please see the attached ps file. You will see that the figures in the
biography section overlap. I guess the second one should start to print
after the first photo finishes. However instead of doing that, it starts
before its normal (should be) place and it overlaps. So, right now LyX
works if you are the only author :)
We use the attached IEEEtran.cls for the IEEEtran.layout which is
available in LyX. We have spent some time and sent e-mails back and forth
about how we can use the photographs in the biography section of IEEE
documents. This is the point we have come so far.
The biograpy section in the IEEEtran.cls is changed by this piece below.
> \RequirePackage{graphics}
> \newenvironment{biography}[2][]{%
> \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Biography}
> \footnotesize\unitlength 1mm\bigskip\parskip=0pt\par%
> \rule{0pt}{39mm}\vspace{-39mm}\par% guarantees correct page breaking
> \noindent\setbox0\hbox{\ifx\\#1\\%
> \framebox(25,32){}%
> \else%
> \resizebox{25mm}{32mm}{\includegraphics{#1.eps}}%
> \fi}% box containing the frame
> \ht0=37mm\count10=\ht0\divide\count10 by\baselineskip% calculates lines
> \global\hangindent29mm\global\hangafter-\count10%
> \hskip-28.5mm\setbox0\hbox to 28.5mm {\raise-30.5mm\box0\hss}%
> \dp0=0mm\ht0=0mm\box0\noindent{\bfseries#2}\rmfamily}{
> \par\normalfont}
(Before everything.. Also make sure that your IEEEtran.cls is recognized
by LyX. In Linux, you can put IEEEtran.cls under:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base
and run texhash command.)
You can open an IEEE document from File -> New From Template menu and
change the bigraphy section as..(you should have a photograph in the eps
format named myimage.eps)
[myimage] {Myname MyMiddlename MySurname} my biograph... blah blah....
Do the same for the other authors... You will see that the images will
overlap (like in the ps file we attached)
I would greatly appreciate if someone could share his/her opinions about
why this is happening and how we can fix it? I don't have any
experience/knowledge in writing class files but I think there may be a
solution because LaTeX is a powerful tool. So far, we have come to a point
but if the figures overlap, there is not much point in doing it. We have
to rollback to our starting point where we could not use photographs. So
what I suggest is.. if we can take a step in solving this then it will be
a useful tool for many authors in academics. I am looking forward to
hearing from you..
Regards
