I've just tried a few TikZ scripts in the 2.0.0 svn version of LyX. The more complicated ones tend to fail for me (I'm not sure why; I don't have time to track down what is going wrong at the moment). However, the one here: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/nav1d/ works, possibly because it's so simple.
Does it work for you? /************************************ Down with categorical imperative! flutz...@yahoo.com ************************************/ ________________________________ From: Robert_Schiemann <robert_schiem...@freenet.de> To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Sent: Wed, January 13, 2010 11:07:05 AM Subject: TikZ in LyX Hello to all, I am quite new to using LaTeX and even newer to using it with LyX. However, I tried to use the <http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/free-body-diagrams/> TikZ package from LyX. I did it the following way: 1. download the package and extract the file content to Program Files\MikTeX\ 2. Insert one of the example codes (see link above) in TeXnic Center - works. 3. Insert the same example code as a new TeX code block ('Insert TeX code') into LyX. When Compiling, i get a few errors, mainly 'Can be used only in preamble' and 'Environment tikzpicture undefined', and a few others. 4. I fixed these errors by deleting the \documentclass and \enddocument commands. In addition, I inserted the \usepackage and the \usetikzlibrary commands in the document settings (Document -> Settings -> Latex preamble). Of course, i deleted these lines from the code. 5. I still get errors when compiling: A few of them are like 'Missing } or \cr' inserted. The others go like 'Package error: No shape named base is known'. Sometimes, it says 'M' instead of 'shape'. What can i do to solve these problems? Thank you a lot in advance for your help!
