Now that the homework has been handed in (manual cut
and paste of images) I've posted the .lyx file to
http://ryuu.ca/lyx, along with the images, in case anyone
wants to see the raw source. I've also posted my preferences
and lyxrc files in the same directory. All will vanish
once this is solved, but it might help, and it can't hurt.
seems to be a bug in LyX, but the question is who inserts
this line ...
Delete the line
\graphics dvips
in your LyX file ( outside of LyX ) and everything should
be ok. At least for me ... ;-)
This works for me as well. Still doesn't work with any
of the other view options, but at least one works.
Thank you.
I still don't understand where that line came from, since
when I go to Layout->Document->Packages it says that
my Postscript driver is "Default". Can I change that
to something else in my preferences or lyxrc?
And by the way, it is a kind of crazy to convert your
automata images to jpeg. png or odf is the right format,
or what I would prefer, create them on the fly with gastex.
I use jpeg because I was having trouble with other formats.
As in, LyX wouldn't even display them internally. Including png.
Since the clean install it seems to work ok, although no
better or no worse than jpg.
I'm not sure that creating something "on the fly" with gastex
is something I will be doing in the near future. Learning curve
seems a little high, and it doesn't seem condusive to taking
notes in class. Probably a lovely tool for writing a book or
paper. The "better interface" requirement is why I use LyX in
the first place! I don't want to have to type raw laTeX code.
I have in the past, and I didn't enjoy it.
I create my automata with Omnigraffle and export to jpg.
That tool also allows me to copy the professor's lectures from
the board on the fly. I'm not sure I could do that with gastex,
unless there is a better interface to it than a text editor.
