Viewing images in lyx-1.2

2002-06-26 Thread Jan Warnking


I am about to send a couple of gripes about viewing images in lyx-1.2.
Rather than putting all in one large email, I preferred splitting things
up, so they can be discussed separately. Let me state here that (despite
my criticism) I greatly appreciate the effort the lyx team puts into
giving us users the greatest document processor existing!

I really think that the new mechanisms of handling graphics, defining
formats and coverters and have the user decide how to convert what is
great. Very flexible and powerful. Note, however, that I did not see this
from the start. I am not used to be given this kind of power, and my first
reaction was Uh, this seems complicated, why do I need to mess with the
converters now when everything was automatic before?. Basically, since
now I _can_ fix things that don't work (converters not defined correctly,
not the right version of xforms, ImageMagick ...), I am _responsible_ for
fixing them. No need to say that things were far from perfect before, but
since there was not much I could do about it, I put up with it.  
I guess the more power the developers give to the user, the more they need
to hold the hands of those who are not interested in power, but in ease of
use.

Viewing images in lyx1.2: Loading images blocks UI

2002-06-26 Thread Jan Warnking


When using lyx 1.1.6 loading images was _slow_, but did not hinder editing
of the document. I opened up the docs, scrolled to the place I wanted to
work on, and started typing away. The images showed up eventually.
Not so in lyx1.2.1. I open up a document, and scroll to the place I want
to work at. The images I come across when scrolling get loaded, and most
of the time, I find myself projected back to the beginning of the document
once they're done (the cursor is still up there, I don't have the time to
place it elsewhere). I repeat this process, three to four times, until all
images are loaded - very annoying. Yes, that'll teach me to use the
navigate menu to jump directly to the place concerned. But I'll stumble
across the images eventually, and whatever I'm doing at that moment is
interrupted until the images show up.
In summary, I much prefer _slow_ loading in the background over _fast_
loading blocking the UI. I always found that speed and constant
availability of the UI was one of the neatest features of lyx. Made work
very smooth. I hoped that the view-dvi and stuff could get moved to the
background, too, so I was very disappointed to see that, on the contrary,
image loading is done in foreground now. This is the reason I still prefer
1.1.6.

Viewing images in lyx-1.2: Displaying png and ps files

2002-06-26 Thread Jan Warnking


This may have been discussed on the list before, but I didn't find it in
the archives.

Displaying png files

I think I heard once on the list that png files can be displayed directly.
Is this only true for the internal image loader or with the xforms loader,
too? I have quite a few of them and not having to convert them each time I
open my thesis would speed up things considerably.

Displaying ps files
---
Is there a bug with the ps loader in xforms 0.89.6? I display eps files by
converting them to ps using
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=$$o $$i
(I think this was suggested on the list at some point).
Reasonably fast, and the resulting .ps looks ok in gv. However the file 
never shows up in lyx (lyx -dbg

Viewing images in lyx-1.2: Choice of the converter to use

2002-06-26 Thread Jan Warnking


By default a converter PNG-EPS is defined. Since I defined an EPS-PS
converter, Lyx then converted PNG-EPS-PS and failed to load the image
(see previous message). So I removed the PNG-EPS converter, so that the
PNG-XPM get used. However, the images still didn't get loaded. lyx -dbg
graphics shows that lyx converts PNG-XPM-EPS-PS! Lyx _can_ load xpm
directly and does so, if I delete the EPS-PS converter.
This is minor once one knows what happens. There are always ways to work
around this, defining only the right converters. But it still seems odd.

More on figures

2002-06-26 Thread Jos Luis Gmez Dans

Hi,
I might be missing some really obvious configuration option, but I 
thought I'd ask anyway :)

I am writing my thesis and a number of other documents. These have a 
large number of images, in most cases they are plots produced with 
gnuplot and exported as ps files. The syntax I use in gnuplot is
set term postscript enhanced color Helvetica 18

This is fine, but for a couple of annoyances:
(i) The plots are large, and need to be re-scaled to a reasonable size. 
At present, this means trial and error choosing of the scaling. is 
there a way to automate this? Also, some guidance as to how to get a 
readable font (other than using psfrag) automatically would be much 
appreciated

(ii) All figures need to be rotated by -90 degrees. Again, another 
inconvenience. Anywhere where this can be set as a default? Also, in 
the PDFs produced with pdflatex, the images are not rotated. Note that 
changing the rotation changes the scaling of the latex representation 
of the image!!!

(iii) An automatic caption environment would be most appreciated. i am 
restoring to adding the caption manually.

All the above are minor nuisances, which might have to do with  the 
configuration of Lyx. However, I noted that I spent most of my Lyx time 
fumbling about with images and tables and the such. Should I now move 
on to EEPIC?

Many thanks,
Jose

just try one figure to make adjustment for font-, point- and line-size in
gnuplot. The othes can follow this setting.

for gnuplot graphics is better with pslatex terminal then use insert file
as \input{} in the lyx. Or you can also use fig terminal, which later can
be edited with xfig and exported to pstex or eepic.

Note: eepic does not support a rotating text for 90 degree (as I
remember), i.e. for y-axes label, although you can do it by hand (editing
the eepic output).

tex commands not working

2002-06-26 Thread Axel Heinrici

Hello
I have a serious problem with lyx. If I don't fix this I must use 
pure tex in future. I HAVE TO use tex-code inside a lyx document.
I have to put text into some graphics. But this leads to an error 
message I really do not understand. In pure latex it works for some 
reason.

Example:
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\unitlength1cm
\begin{picture}(14,8)
\put(0.8,0.5){\includegraphics[width=10cm]{Keimbildung_tgif}}
\put(5.5,0){Keimradius (willk. Einkeiten)}
\end{picture}
\label{Keimbildung}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

When I try to use this a tex error occurs. It doesn't like the 
[width...]. Why? This is a legal command.
And also the error message is strange:

Paragraph ended before \Gin@iii was complete
...-8,0){Keimradius (willk. Einheiten)} \par

I suspect you've forgotten a '}', ..

What is \Gin@iii? And why is everything okay if I just leave out 
the [width=10cm]? This shouldn't affect the {s in my oppinion.

greetings
 Axel

Hi:  Here's why you're annoyed. Someone from Lyx needs to open 
discussions with those folks about integrity, professional ethics, and 
common netizen conduct. In fact, every open source project on there 
needs to do the same.  What's really exciting, though, is that every 
Lindows user will be using more and more Open Source. Terrific, I say.

Where do the software titles found in the Click-N-Run Warehouse come 
from? Lindows.com simply provides the marketplace to house applications 
that others develop. Publishers place the software in our warehouse, 
decide how to describe the software program, what price to charge, and 
so on. (Visit http://publish.lindows.com for details on how you can 
publish software titles in the Click-N-Run Warehouse.)

Is there a bug with the ps loader in xforms 0.89.6? I display eps files by
converting them to ps using
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=$$o $$i
(I think this was suggested on the list at some point).
Reasonably fast, and the resulting .ps looks ok in gv. However the file 
never shows up in lyx (lyx -dbg

Viewing images in lyx-1.2: Choice of the converter to use

2002-06-26 Thread Jan Warnking


By default a converter PNG-EPS is defined. Since I defined an EPS-PS
converter, Lyx then converted PNG-EPS-PS and failed to load the image
(see previous message). So I removed the PNG-EPS converter, so that the
PNG-XPM get used. However, the images still didn't get loaded. lyx -dbg
graphics shows that lyx converts PNG-XPM-EPS-PS! Lyx _can_ load xpm
directly and does so, if I delete the EPS-PS converter.
This is minor once one knows what happens. There are always ways to work
around this, defining only the right converters. But it still seems odd.

PS : This has been verified using lyx1.2.1cvs as of june 22 on

More on figures

2002-06-26 Thread Jos Luis Gmez Dans

Hi,
I might be missing some really obvious configuration option, but I 
thought I'd ask anyway :)

I am writing my thesis and a number of other documents. These have a 
large number of images, in most cases they are plots produced with 
gnuplot and exported as ps files. The syntax I use in gnuplot is
set term postscript enhanced color Helvetica 18

This is fine, but for a couple of annoyances:
(i) The plots are large, and need to be re-scaled to a reasonable size. 
At present, this means trial and error choosing of the scaling. is 
there a way to automate this? Also, some guidance as to how to get a 
readable font (other than using psfrag) automatically would be much 
appreciated

(ii) All figures need to be rotated by -90 degrees. Again, another 
inconvenience. Anywhere where this can be set as a default? Also, in 
the PDFs produced with pdflatex, the images are not rotated. Note that 
changing the rotation changes the scaling of the latex representation 
of the image!!!

(iii) An automatic caption environment would be most appreciated. i am 
restoring to adding the caption manually.

All the above are minor nuisances, which might have to do with  the 
configuration of Lyx. However, I noted that I spent most of my Lyx time 
fumbling about with images and tables and the such. Should I now move 
on to EEPIC?

Many thanks,

just try one figure to make adjustment for font-, point- and line-size in

for gnuplot graphics is better with pslatex terminal then use insert file
as \input{} in the lyx. Or you can also use fig terminal, which later can
be edited with xfig and exported to pstex or eepic.

Note: eepic does not support a rotating text for 90 degree (as I
remember), i.e. for y-axes label, although you can do it by hand (editing
the eepic output).

tex commands not working

2002-06-26 Thread Axel Heinrici

Hello
I have a serious problem with lyx. If I don't fix this I must use 
pure tex in future. I HAVE TO use tex-code inside a lyx document.
I have to put text into some graphics. But this leads to an error 
message I really do not understand. In pure latex it works for some 
reason.

Example:
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\unitlength1cm
\begin{picture}(14,8)
\put(0.8,0.5){\includegraphics[width=10cm]{Keimbildung_tgif}}
\put(5.5,0){Keimradius (willk. Einkeiten)}
\end{picture}
\label{Keimbildung}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

When I try to use this a tex error occurs. It doesn't like the 
[width...]. Why? This is a legal command.
And also the error message is strange:

Paragraph ended before \Gin@iii was complete
...-8,0){Keimradius (willk. Einheiten)} \par

I suspect you've forgotten a '}', ..

What is \Gin@iii? And why is everything okay if I just leave out 
the [width=10cm]? This shouldn't affect the {s in my oppinion.

greetings
 Axel

Re: Lindows.com linking lyx.org

Hi:  Here's why you're annoyed. Someone from Lyx needs to open 
discussions with those folks about integrity, professional ethics, and 
common netizen conduct. In fact, every open source project on there 
needs to do the same.  What's really exciting, though, is that every 
Lindows user will be using more and more Open Source. Terrific, I say.

Where do the software titles found in the Click-N-Run Warehouse come 
from? Lindows.com simply provides the marketplace to house applications 
that others develop. Publishers place the software in our warehouse, 
decide how to describe the software program, what price to charge, and 
so on. (Visit http://publish.lindows.com for details on how you can 
publish software titles in the Click-N-Run Warehouse.)

Viewing images in lyx-1.2

2002-06-26 Thread Jan Warnking


I am about to send a couple of gripes about viewing images in lyx-1.2.
Rather than putting all in one large email, I preferred splitting things
up, so they can be discussed separately. Let me state here that (despite
my criticism) I greatly appreciate the effort the lyx team puts into
giving us users the greatest document processor existing!

I really think that the new mechanisms of handling graphics, defining
formats and coverters and have the user decide how to convert what is
great. Very flexible and powerful. Note, however, that I did not see this
from the start. I am not used to be given this kind of power, and my first
reaction was "Uh, this seems complicated, why do I need to mess with the
converters now when everything was automatic before?". Basically, since
now I _can_ fix things that don't work (converters not defined correctly,
not the right version of xforms, ImageMagick ...), I am _responsible_ for
fixing them. No need to say that things were far from perfect before, but
since there was not much I could do about it, I put up with it.  
I guess the more power the developers give to the user, the more they need
to hold the hands of those who are not interested in power, but in ease of
use.

Viewing images in lyx1.2: Loading images blocks UI

2002-06-26 Thread Jan Warnking


When using lyx 1.1.6 loading images was _slow_, but did not hinder editing
of the document. I opened up the docs, scrolled to the place I wanted to
work on, and started typing away. The images showed up eventually.
Not so in lyx1.2.1. I open up a document, and scroll to the place I want
to work at. The images I come across when scrolling get loaded, and most
of the time, I find myself projected back to the beginning of the document
once they're done (the cursor is still up there, I don't have the time to
place it elsewhere). I repeat this process, three to four times, until all
images are loaded - very annoying. Yes, that'll teach me to use the
navigate menu to jump directly to the place concerned. But I'll stumble
across the images eventually, and whatever I'm doing at that moment is
interrupted until the images show up.
In summary, I much prefer _slow_ loading in the background over _fast_
loading blocking the UI. I always found that speed and constant
availability of the UI was one of the neatest features of lyx. Made work
very smooth. I hoped that the view->dvi and stuff could get moved to the
background, too, so I was very disappointed to see that, on the contrary,
image loading is done in foreground now. This is the reason I still prefer
1.1.6.

When inserting a graphics (or when converting old files without extension
for the graphics file names), an empty box shows up representing the image
to be loaded, along with some message. When inserting the correct file
name, the image gets loaded, and is shown correctly outside the original
box but has some weird display inside this box. This goes away immediately
on the first redraw of the canvas and is harmless, but does not look very
professional when trying to convince others how great Lyx is...

I don't know, I have never used pdflatex, since all my figures are in eps
(raster images).

I don't know, lyx 1.2.0 seems to be making a caption manually...$-).

for gnuplot graphics is better with pslatex terminal then use insert file
as \input{} in the lyx. Or you can also use fig terminal, which later can
be edited with xfig and exported to pstex or eepic.

Note: eepic does not support a rotating text for 90 degree (as I
remember), i.e. for y-axes label, although you can do it by hand (editing
the eepic output).

key binding for subscript.

2002-06-26 Thread Bo Peng

Hello,

I was using

\bind  "math-insert _"

to map Ctrl-l to subscript under lyx1.1.6fix4. However, this key binding
no longer works under 1.2. It actually insert a _ Anyone has any idea?

Thanks.

tex commands not working

2002-06-26 Thread Axel Heinrici

Hello
I have a serious problem with lyx. If I don't fix this I must use 
pure tex in future. I HAVE TO use tex-code inside a lyx document.
I have to put text into some graphics. But this leads to an error 
message I really do not understand. In pure latex it works for some 
reason.

Example:
"\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\unitlength1cm
\begin{picture}(14,8)
\put(0.8,0.5){\includegraphics[width=10cm]{Keimbildung_tgif}}
\put(5.5,0){Keimradius (willk. Einkeiten)}
\end{picture}
\label{Keimbildung}
\end{center}
\end{figure}"

When I try to use this a tex error occurs. It doesn't like the 
[width...]. Why? This is a legal command.
And also the error message is strange:

"Paragraph ended before \Gin@iii was complete
...-8,0){Keimradius (willk. Einheiten)} \par

I suspect you've forgotten a '}', .."

What is \Gin@iii? And why is everything okay if I just leave out 
the "[width=10cm]"? This shouldn't affect the {s in my oppinion.

greetings
 Axel

lyx-file.

Lindows.com linking lyx.org

2002-06-26 Thread Thomas Templin

As I ve seen Lindows.com seems to try making money with LyX.
Take a Look at www.lindows.com. 
As you can see the following link only points to a page whith a so 
called click and run offer.
http://www.lindows.com/lindows_products_details.php?id=135
Download is offerred "Free to Click-N-Run Warehouse Members"
Not a word about where or even how to get LyX.
topic "Specifications": Version 1.1.6fix4-2

To my point of view at least annoying.
bye,
Thomas



Re: Lindows.com linking lyx.org

2002-06-26 Thread tom poe

Hi:  Here's why you're annoyed. Someone from Lyx needs to open 
discussions with those folks about integrity, professional ethics, and 
common netizen conduct. In fact, every open source project on there 
needs to do the same.  What's really exciting, though, is that every 
Lindows user will be using more and more Open Source. Terrific, I say.

"Where do the software titles found in the Click-N-Run Warehouse come 
from? Lindows.com simply provides the marketplace to house applications 
that others develop. "Publishers" place the software in our warehouse, 
decide how to describe the software program, what price to charge, and 
so on. (Visit http://publish.lindows.com for details on how you can 
publish software titles in the Click-N-Run Warehouse.)"

I agree.

Should we do anything about that?
