cropping an eps figure
Hello, I'm using Kontour (from KDE 2.2) to produce an EPS illustration for my article written in Lyx. Kontour doesn't seem to be able (yet?) to generate an EPS with the bounding box just around the figure; I always get a full A4 size, thus a lot of whitespace around my illustration. Can I crop the image after inserting it into Lyx? Or is there another piece of software that allows me to do this?

Re: figures not rendering, Debian - solution
1) replace package 'gs-aladdin' (6.50-5) with 'gs' (5.50-8) this is because of a ghostscript bug, fixed in more recent versions. Yup, I know, but there is currently no newer package than that in Debian/unstable. 2) type 'xhost +hostname' or just 'xhost +' (just '+' opens your display to everyone!) this apparently doesn't always work to fix the auth errors.

I think I see what you need, it is the floatflt package. Put your cursor just on the side of the figure (so in the same paragraph, within the float) then select the paragraph dialog and in the second tab there is an option called Floatflt, select it and set a correct width (never used it personnally, so don't really know how to set it) search in the documentation for it, it is in the extended manual (file extended.lyx).

Solution: cropping an eps figure
After some mail exchange (thanks to the people who answered), I wrote a python script epscrop that does the conversion. It requires Python 1.5 and ps2epsi. It can be called from the command line with as many arguments as wished, e.g. cropeps *.eps and will convert all files in turn. The conversion is done using ps2epsi. It does _not_ render text in illustrations to bitmaps, unlike gs. On the other hand, it adds a bitmap preview to the eps file. This preview is then stripped again. A bit of a kludge, but it works here. If anybody else can use it, here goes: file epscrop: #!/usr/bin/python from sys import argv from os import system from string import replace import re matchstr = re.compile(r%%BeginPreview.*%%EndPreview, re.DOTALL) # A regular expression matching a bitmap preview in epsi files def strip_preview(filename): file = open(filename, 'r') text = file.read() # read eps file file.close() newtext = matchstr.sub(, text) # replace preview by file = open(filename, 'w') file.write(newtext) # write back new file file.close() for infile in argv[1:]:# loop through arguments outfile = replace(infile, .eps, [cr].eps) print Converting + infile + to + outfile system(ps2epsi + infile + + outfile) strip_preview(outfile) --- Cheers Kaspar -- Kaspar Pflugshaupt Geobotanical Institute ETH Zurich, Switzerland

Re: figures not rendering, Debian - solution
1) replace package 'gs-aladdin' (6.50-5) with 'gs' (5.50-8) this is because of a ghostscript bug, fixed in more recent versions. Yup, I know, but there is currently no newer package than that in Debian/unstable. 2) type 'xhost +hostname' or just 'xhost +' (just '+' opens your display to everyone!) this apparently doesn't always work to fix the auth errors.

I think I see what you need, it is the floatflt package. Put your cursor just on the side of the figure (so in the same paragraph, within the float) then select the paragraph dialog and in the second tab there is an option called Floatflt, select it and set a correct width (never used it personnally, so don't really know how to set it) search in the documentation for it, it is in the extended manual (file extended.lyx).

What tools are available to accomplish it? I'm running SuSE Linux 7.1. Sincerely, Sasa
Solution: cropping an eps figure
After some mail exchange (thanks to the people who answered), I wrote a python script epscrop that does the conversion. It requires Python 1.5 and ps2epsi. It can be called from the command line with as many arguments as wished, e.g. cropeps *.eps and will convert all files in turn. The conversion is done using ps2epsi. It does _not_ render text in illustrations to bitmaps, unlike gs. On the other hand, it adds a bitmap preview to the eps file. This preview is then stripped again. A bit of a kludge, but it works here. If anybody else can use it, here goes: file epscrop: #!/usr/bin/python from sys import argv from os import system from string import replace import re matchstr = re.compile(r%%BeginPreview.*%%EndPreview, re.DOTALL) # A regular expression matching a bitmap preview in epsi files def strip_preview(filename): file = open(filename, 'r') text = file.read() # read eps file file.close() newtext = matchstr.sub(, text) # replace preview by file = open(filename, 'w') file.write(newtext) # write back new file file.close() for infile in argv[1:]:# loop through arguments outfile = replace(infile, .eps, [cr].eps) print Converting + infile + to + outfile system(ps2epsi + infile + + outfile) strip_preview(outfile) --- Cheers Kaspar -- Kaspar Pflugshaupt Geobotanical Institute ETH Zurich, Switzerland

This is a special form of encapsulated postscript (EPS) which adds a bitmap version of the final displayed page (in the form of postscript comments) to the beginning of the file. This bitmap can be used by programs which understand EPSI (usually word processors or DTP programs) to give a preview version of the postscript on screen. The displayed quality is often not very good (eg. low resolution, no colours), but the final printed version uses the 'real' postscript, and thus has the normal full postscript quality. As LyX doesnot need/use this bitmap for preview, it is better not to enlarge your files by this. You can also use the attached script eps2eps (if you have ghostscript).

By "text marked as LaTeX style", do you really mean ERT (red text going to latex "as is")? Why don't you use a nested list (see the user-guide for instructions) or LyX-Code (with Ctrl-enter to get a new line)? Guenter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

LyX is very user friendly regarding the scaling of eps-figures. Click at the figure and in the popup you can set width and hight to something other than standard (my favourite is setting width to some percentage of the page and let hight as standard) Guenter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The begining of an EPS file looks like: %!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-2.0 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 567 539 The four numbers after '%%BoundingBox' are the limits of the image (x1 y1 x2 y2). You just play a bit with it, using 'ghostview' or any other previewer to see what's going on. Usually a few try are enough to get what you like :) Yannick

Re: Figure float resizing
Hi! I can see that in the figure box, but cant find something similar for figure float, that is: I get the figure in the right size, but the frame fills the whole page, and therefore the caption comes at the bottom of the page...

I think I see what you need, it is the floatflt package. Put your cursor just on the side of the figure (so in the same paragraph, within the float) then select the paragraph dialog and in the second tab there is an option called "Floatflt", select it and set a correct width (never used it personnally, so don't really know how to set it) search in the documentation for it, it is in the extended manual (file extended.lyx). I think that should do what you want. I did the same thing but for non-floating figures with the picins package. -- Pour les spams tu es libre de ne pas les télécharger, comme tu es libre même de ne pas lire les news, ou de les lire via le web avec une recherche qui ne selectionnera que ce qui t'intéresse -+- Merdenbarre in GNU - Un : je chie partout, deux : tu nettoies -+- Renaud MICHEL

IEEEtrans.cls and LyX
Hello, I've been using IEEEtrans.cls in Latex. Now I want to use this class file in Lyx. How can I "add" this class file to LyX. I also want to use IEEE bib style file (IEEE.bst) in LyX. Any hints? Thank you, Matias.
LyX <--> XML
Hi! I have to write some online course for the web. Since I'm always writing in LyX, at the same time, I'd like to embrace XML technology, and later publish course on the web (HTML), I'm interested what would be the best procedure to get XML document from LyX source and later convert it HTML for web publishing? What tools are available to accomplish it? I'm running SuSE Linux 7.1. Sincerely, Sasa
Solution: cropping an eps figure
After some mail exchange (thanks to the people who answered), I wrote a
python script "epscrop" that does the conversion. It requires Python >1.5 and
ps2epsi. It can be called from the command line with as many arguments as
wished, e.g. "cropeps *.eps" and will convert all files in turn.
The conversion is done using ps2epsi. It does _not_ render text in
illustrations to bitmaps, unlike gs. On the other hand, it adds a bitmap
preview to the eps file. This preview is then stripped again.
A bit of a kludge, but it works here. If anybody else can use it, here goes:
file epscrop:
#!/usr/bin/python
from sys import argv
from os import system
from string import replace
import re
matchstr = re.compile(r"%%BeginPreview.*%%EndPreview", re.DOTALL)
# A regular expression matching a bitmap preview in epsi files
def strip_preview(filename):
file = open(filename, 'r')
text = file.read() # read eps file
file.close()
newtext = matchstr.sub("", text) # replace preview by ""
file = open(filename, 'w')
file.write(newtext) # write back new file
file.close()
for infile in argv[1:]:# loop through arguments
outfile = replace(infile, ".eps", "[cr].eps")
print "Converting " + infile + " to " + outfile
system("ps2epsi " + infile + " " + outfile)
strip_preview(outfile)
---
Cheers

Put
\numberwithin{equation}{section}
in the preamble and
enable AMS-math using the layout->document dialog (extra tab).

Your figure doesn't have a bounding box. Use ps2epsi to fix it (or something similar).
