Hi there, I've taken the TeX plunge via Lyx, and I'm liking it so far. I've got a PPC OS X 10.4 machine, and I'm running Lyx 1.4 and my TeX installation is via the i-Installer program. I'm trying to include images in my documents, but I cannot figure out how to get them to both display inline on the screen and to printout when Lyx goes to process the document to PDF. EPS images process to PDF nicely, but they don't display in the screen version. I've tried searching for how to set Lyx up to see the images, but I'm not having much success. What's the overall most successful way to create images for both printing and display? Thanks in advance. Best, -N -- Nathan A.

2nd Update to: [announce] new extended LyX manual available
I wrote: I'm proud to announce the new extended LyX manual about Floats, Notes, Tables, Graphics, and Boxes. The manual can be downloaded from http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocumentationDevelopment#Extended-Insets I've uploaded the new version 1.4.3-2. It contains a new section about the caption placement (sec. 3.6) that also describes how to set a caption beside a table/figure. Besides this the new manual version benefits from various annotations I got in the meantime - many thanks to all who helped. I think the manual is now stable enough to be released together with the upcoming LyX 1.4.4. Any objections? regards Uwe

Maybe some developer could comment on that. I only know of one slowdown that is expected: Export to .tex does not convert the figures in 1.3, but it does in 1.4, so that could add a considerable amount of time. Therefore I developed an image cache that might go in 1.5.0. Any other slowdown is either caused by external programs or a bug. Not sure this is true. The paint logic changed from 1.3 to 1.4.

You're welcome. As a postscript, I entered a bug report on it and found
out this is apparently classified as a feature rather than a bug. The
developers consider anything the user puts in the preamble (such as
graphics in a footer) to be the user's responsibility. That makes sense
to me (it would be an awful task to defend against anything the user
might hypothetically stuff into the preamble), although I think that
scanning for \includegraphics should not be too hard.
Also, Uwe Stoehr pointed out that
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\usepackage{graphicx}}{}
would be a safer entry in the preamble, since it would prevent graphicx
being loaded twice if you later added images to the text.

zlib and 1.4.3
I unwisely installed LyX 1.4.3 in my /home/john/Downloads directory, and ./configure gave an error that libz can't be found and to make sure zlib is installed properly. Although I went ahead with make anyway, and LyX 1.4.3 is running, what should I do about this zlib issue? (/usr/lib and /usr/local/lib show libz files; just to be sure, I DL'd zlib from zlib.net and installed it.) I guess I've created kind of a mess here, but should I reinstall zlib in the same directory as LyX, or create a path to it? Or reinstall LyX to /usr/share or wherever it's supposed to go?

Hmm, you're right. I repeated the pdflatexing of the tutorial and captured
the debugging information with
nice -n 20 lyx -dbg latex 21 | tee ~/Temp/lyx-dbg_latex.out
The error messages seem to indicate a missing font problem. Upon
examining the PDF file, it seems that the headings are gone.
Equations and tables are fine. That was on the Lyx file invoked by
Help-Tutorial.
To see if figures are good, I tried pdflatexing the user guide from
Help-UserGuide. It was missing a class.
The messages in the log from pdflatexing the Tutorial are quite voluminous.

Hi there, I've taken the TeX plunge via Lyx, and I'm liking it so far. I've got a PPC OS X 10.4 machine, and I'm running Lyx 1.4 and my TeX installation is via the i-Installer program. I'm trying to include images in my documents, but I cannot figure out how to get them to both display inline on the screen and to printout when Lyx goes to process the document to PDF. EPS images process to PDF nicely, but they don't display in the screen version. I've tried searching for how to set Lyx up to see the images, but I'm not having much success. What's the overall most successful way to create images for both printing and display? Thanks in advance. Best, -N -- Nathan A.

Maybe some developer could comment on that. I only know of one slowdown that is expected: Export to .tex does not convert the figures in 1.3, but it does in 1.4, so that could add a considerable amount of time. Therefore I developed an image cache that might go in 1.5.0. Any other slowdown is either caused by external programs or a bug. Not sure this is true. The paint logic changed from 1.3 to 1.4.

Hello Paul,

Regards Robert
You're welcome. As a postscript, I entered a bug report on it and found
out this is apparently classified as a feature rather than a bug. The
developers consider anything the user puts in the preamble (such as
graphics in a footer) to be the user's responsibility. That makes sense
to me (it would be an awful task to defend against anything the user
might hypothetically stuff into the preamble), although I think that
scanning for \includegraphics should not be too hard.
Also, Uwe Stoehr pointed out that
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\usepackage{graphicx}}{}
would be a safer entry in the preamble, since it would prevent graphicx
being loaded twice if you later added images to the text.

zlib and 1.4.3
I unwisely installed LyX 1.4.3 in my /home/john/Downloads directory, and ./configure gave an error that libz can't be found and to make sure zlib is installed properly. Although I went ahead with make anyway, and LyX 1.4.3 is running, what should I do about this zlib issue? (/usr/lib and /usr/local/lib show libz files; just to be sure, I DL'd zlib from zlib.net and installed it.) I guess I've created kind of a mess here, but should I reinstall zlib in the same directory as LyX, or create a path to it? Or reinstall LyX to /usr/share or wherever it's supposed to go?

Well, I didn't have a chance to repeat the attempt on the original computer

because View-pdflatex *does* come
back after half an hour (not sure how much after, but probably no more than
an hour after it started).
The long time for the conversion might be a function of the file. It was
the Help-Tutorial file that caused
such a long conversion. If I open a blank new Lyx file and type a few
words, the conversion takes trivial
amount of time. The View-Update also works.
I tried the View-Update on the long-converting Tutorial file. It still
takes a long time. How long...not
sure, it's still running.
This is really weird. However, do you mean that after almost an hour
a perfectly working pdf file is produced? Or are there problems with
fonts?
Hmm, you're right. I repeated the pdflatexing of the tutorial and captured
the debugging information with
nice -n 20 lyx -dbg latex 21 | tee ~/Temp/lyx-dbg_latex.out
The error messages seem to indicate a missing font problem. Upon
examining the PDF file, it seems that the headings are gone.
Equations and tables are fine. That was on the Lyx file invoked by
Help-Tutorial.
To see if figures are good, I tried pdflatexing the user guide from
Help-UserGuide. It was missing a class.
The messages in the log from pdflatexing the Tutorial are quite voluminous.

While this might be true, it is also a fact that math painting has not significantly changed since 1.2.0, in fact, this was the first component using two-phase-drawing.

Yes, this is a known problem with the acrobat reader. This also happens on linux where the update of the pdf file succeeds, but acroread doesn't update its view and must be closed and restarted. On windows you have to close the acrobat reader before updating the pdf file, but the net result is not much different. On the wiki you can find some workarounds for this problem. -- Enrico

Re: figure in footer with fancyfoot
Robert Neumann wrote:
Hello Paul,
works fine with graphicx, thanks!
Regards Robert
You're welcome. As a postscript, I entered a bug report on it and found
out this is apparently classified as a feature rather than a bug. The
developers consider anything the user puts in the preamble (such as
graphics in a footer) to be the user's responsibility. That makes sense
to me (it would be an awful task to defend against anything the user
might hypothetically stuff into the preamble), although I think that
scanning for "\includegraphics" should not be too hard.
Also, Uwe Stoehr pointed out that
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\usepackage{graphicx}}{}
would be a safer entry in the preamble, since it would prevent graphicx
being loaded twice if you later added images to the text.

Re: Spellchecker first paragraph

In the following lyx file only typos in the second and third paragraphs will be corrected.The first paragraph is simply skipped, even if the cursors is located in the title. Actually, it's the first misspelled *word* that's skipped, not an entire paragraph. Try putting a few more errors in the first paragraph to test this. Has this bug in the new LyX version been corrected? Yes. Versions 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 check the document correctly. Cheers, Paul
zlib and 1.4.3
I unwisely installed LyX 1.4.3 in my /home/john/Downloads directory, and ./configure gave an error that libz can't be found and to make sure zlib is installed properly. Although I went ahead with "make" anyway, and LyX 1.4.3 is running, what should I do about this zlib issue? (/usr/lib and /usr/local/lib show libz files; just to be sure, I DL'd zlib from zlib.net and installed it.) I guess I've created kind of a mess here, but should I reinstall zlib in the same directory as LyX, or create a path to it? Or reinstall LyX to /usr/share or wherever it's supposed to go?

Hmm, you're right. I repeated the pdflatexing of the tutorial and captured
the debugging information with
nice -n 20 lyx -dbg latex 2>&1 | tee ~/Temp/lyx-dbg_latex.out &
The error messages seem to indicate a missing font problem. Upon
examining the PDF file, it seems that the headings are gone.
Equations and tables are fine. That was on the Lyx file invoked by
Help->Tutorial.
To see if figures are good, I tried pdflatexing the user guide from
Help->UserGuide. It was missing a class.
The messages in the log from pdflatexing the Tutorial are quite voluminous.
I'll take snippets where they seem to be the relevant:
