Re: image conversion tools
I'd love to be able to do that but I am so far not a C++ programmer. Mainly using fortran 95 for my research. I'm familiar with C syntax and know a little bit about object oriented languageas, but I have no experience in developing for large projects. I guess downloading Lyx sources and start learning from that is one way get started. I'd thought I send in my observations on using the qt version because it would be useful for other users and possibly for someone who can patch. I'd be glad to help in some testing, when time allows. jorgen Angus Leeming wrote: jorgen johansson wrote: Hello again, Sorry to bother you all.

lyx win32 hebrew R2L problem
I try to use LyX with hebrew support on Win2k english (as described at http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/instructions2.html). It works well, but the Right-to-left support doesn't work. It does displays hebrew letters, and the WORDS are displayed correctly (right-to-left), but the letters inside the words appear in reverse order. For example instead of FED CBA it types DEF ABC, so the words are in the correct order, but the letters inside the words are confused. But after translating (dvi of pdf) everything is in the right place. Maybe this is a bug in the windows port. I'm not sure. Could anyone help me? Attila

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hello, I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. It seems to me if Lyx does not find a defined converters for a certain image format it tries to use the convertDefault.sh. For me this causes windows xp to pop up a dialog to specify the program to execute the shell script. To avoid using the script I added the following lines to the prefrences. (located in system at D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.lyx\preferences) \converter eps ppm convert $$i $$o \converter jpg eps convert $$i $$o \converter png eps convert $$i $$o (I added them by using th lyx preferences dialog.) The first line solves the problem of viewing eps figures inside lyx. The others are necessary for viewing in lyx and converting from jpg and png figures to eps which is used by Latex to create the dvi file. Now I have no problem with the qt version under win XP. ( Off Topic, except for some strange error related to reconfiguring from inside lyx since my system is on the D: but I put lyx on C:. Running the configure script from the command line solves the problem though.) Hope the three lines above solves your problem. jorgen Ben Liesfeld wrote: Hello to all, Sorry to bother you all.

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hi jorgen,
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. It seems to me if Lyx
does not find a defined converters for a certain image format it tries
to use the convertDefault.sh. For me this causes windows xp to pop up a
dialog to specify the program to execute the shell script. To avoid
using the script I added the following lines to the prefrences.
(located in system at D:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\.lyx\preferences)
convertDefault.sh is apparently called in my setup. At least that's
what I think looking at the log. There's no pop up window asking me to
specify any program. It's executed (?) and calls convert.exe which calls
gswin32c.exe as it should be.
I cannot execute the command
convert test.eps test.ppm on the command line (same error as lyx
shows), that's why I thought it must be an ImageMagick problem.
\converter eps ppm convert $$i $$o
\converter jpg eps convert $$i $$o
\converter png eps convert $$i $$o
Adding these three lines doesn't solve the problem. The error message
remains the same. Again, convert.exe from ImageMagick is executed
which can't correctly cooperate with gswin32c.exe.
The lyx -dbg graphics command again shows

custom page size crops content
In the past, I have used a book document class with a custom page size of 9 X 5.5. But lately, when viewed with gv the document is cropped. (The right side is missing a couple inches of text.) I saw some postings at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05891.html from 1999, that seem to be related. But I am not sure. I am using lyx 1.3.2 (QT3 libs). But I was also using an old lyx from over a year ago with same results. (This is on NetBSD.) I am guessing my issue is gs related. I tried to see what dvi showed but when I use lyx to export to dvi, it appears that the dvi document is letter size (and not my custom size). I have gv-3.5.8nb3 (installed via NetBSD pkgsrc). gs is ghostscript-esp-7.05.5. Any ideas on how to fix this (or troubleshoot)? Thank you, Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/

Lars, Any way it's done is fine with me, as long as I can get what I want from it. I had no problems with the old interface as the program worked, but I sure have come to like the Qt interface better. I'm seriously into a book (written with LyX and Xfig) and these tools are making it quick and easy. Well, sort of easy. :-) I take a lot of time looking at the users guide and advanced guide to figure out how to do what I need, but I'm learning more than I had needed in all my previous use. Come to think of it, ... I did some articles with figures and they were automatically centered. Guess that's why it didn't occur to me to look for a command/menu choice to do this now.

Re: Centering a figure in a float

On a related issue, if want to put spaces in the equation, pressing the space bar moves the cursor out the right side. I don't know what I've missed here.

lyx win32 hebrew R2L problem
I try to use LyX with hebrew support on Win2k english (as described at http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/instructions2.html). It works well, but the Right-to-left support doesn't work. It does displays hebrew letters, and the WORDS are displayed correctly (right-to-left), but the letters inside the words appear in reverse order. For example instead of FED CBA it types DEF ABC, so the words are in the correct order, but the letters inside the words are confused. But after translating (dvi of pdf) everything is in the right place. Maybe this is a bug in the windows port. I'm not sure. Could anyone help me? Attila

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hello, I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. It seems to me if Lyx does not find a defined converters for a certain image format it tries to use the convertDefault.sh. For me this causes windows xp to pop up a dialog to specify the program to execute the shell script. To avoid using the script I added the following lines to the prefrences. (located in system at D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.lyx\preferences) \converter eps ppm convert $$i $$o \converter jpg eps convert $$i $$o \converter png eps convert $$i $$o (I added them by using th lyx preferences dialog.) The first line solves the problem of viewing eps figures inside lyx. The others are necessary for viewing in lyx and converting from jpg and png figures to eps which is used by Latex to create the dvi file. Now I have no problem with the qt version under win XP. ( Off Topic, except for some strange error related to reconfiguring from inside lyx since my system is on the D: but I put lyx on C:. Running the configure script from the command line solves the problem though.) Hope the three lines above solves your problem. jorgen Ben Liesfeld wrote: Hello to all, Sorry to bother you all.

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hi jorgen,
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. It seems to me if Lyx
does not find a defined converters for a certain image format it tries
to use the convertDefault.sh. For me this causes windows xp to pop up a
dialog to specify the program to execute the shell script. To avoid
using the script I added the following lines to the prefrences.
(located in system at D:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\.lyx\preferences)
convertDefault.sh is apparently called in my setup. At least that's
what I think looking at the log. There's no pop up window asking me to
specify any program. It's executed (?) and calls convert.exe which calls
gswin32c.exe as it should be.
I cannot execute the command
convert test.eps test.ppm on the command line (same error as lyx
shows), that's why I thought it must be an ImageMagick problem.
\converter eps ppm convert $$i $$o
\converter jpg eps convert $$i $$o
\converter png eps convert $$i $$o
Adding these three lines doesn't solve the problem. The error message
remains the same. Again, convert.exe from ImageMagick is executed
which can't correctly cooperate with gswin32c.exe.
The lyx -dbg graphics command again shows

custom page size crops content
In the past, I have used a book document class with a custom page size of 9 X 5.5. But lately, when viewed with gv the document is cropped. (The right side is missing a couple inches of text.) I saw some postings at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05891.html from 1999, that seem to be related. But I am not sure. I am using lyx 1.3.2 (QT3 libs). But I was also using an old lyx from over a year ago with same results. (This is on NetBSD.) I am guessing my issue is gs related. I tried to see what dvi showed but when I use lyx to export to dvi, it appears that the dvi document is letter size (and not my custom size). I have gv-3.5.8nb3 (installed via NetBSD pkgsrc). gs is ghostscript-esp-7.05.5. Any ideas on how to fix this (or troubleshoot)? Thank you, Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/

Lars, Any way it's done is fine with me, as long as I can get what I want from it. I had no problems with the old interface as the program worked, but I sure have come to like the Qt interface better. I'm seriously into a book (written with LyX and Xfig) and these tools are making it quick and easy. Well, sort of easy. :-) I take a lot of time looking at the users guide and advanced guide to figure out how to do what I need, but I'm learning more than I had needed in all my previous use. Come to think of it, ... I did some articles with figures and they were automatically centered. Guess that's why it didn't occur to me to look for a command/menu choice to do this now.

Equations in book class
Writing in book class, do I need to do more than invoke math mode to have the equations properly formatted on screen as well as on paper? I use the \sub, \textperiodcentered and \sup within math mode (invoking TeX mode, of course), but all I see is the text run together, not the symbols. On a related issue, if want to put spaces in the equation, pressing the space bar moves the cursor out the right side. I don't know what I've missed here. TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B.

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hello Ben,
I am not sure if I can help you with this.
I tested with and witout specifying a converter.

Re: image conversion tools
I'd love to be able to do that but I am so far not a C++ programmer. Mainly using fortran 95 for my research. I'm familiar with C syntax and know a little bit about object oriented languageas, but I have no experience in developing for large projects. I guess downloading Lyx sources and start learning from that is one way get started. I'd thought I send in my observations on using the qt version because it would be useful for other users and possibly for someone who can patch. I'd be glad to help in some testing, when time allows. jorgen Angus Leeming wrote: jorgen johansson wrote: Hello again, Sorry to bother you all.

lyx win32 hebrew R2L problem
I try to use LyX with hebrew support on Win2k english (as described at http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/instructions2.html). It works well, but the Right-to-left support doesn't work. It does displays hebrew letters, and the WORDS are displayed correctly (right-to-left), but the letters inside the words appear in reverse order. For example instead of "FED CBA" it types "DEF ABC", so the words are in the correct order, but the letters inside the words are confused. But after translating (dvi of pdf) everything is in the right place. Maybe this is a bug in the windows port. I'm not sure. Could anyone help me? Attila

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hello, I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. It seems to me if Lyx does not find a defined converters for a certain image format it tries to use the convertDefault.sh. For me this causes windows xp to pop up a dialog to specify the program to execute the shell script. To avoid using the script I added the following lines to the prefrences. (located in system at D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.lyx\preferences) \converter "eps" "ppm" "convert $$i $$o" "" \converter "jpg" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" "" \converter "png" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" "" (I added them by using th lyx preferences dialog.) The first line solves the problem of viewing eps figures inside lyx. The others are necessary for viewing in lyx and converting from jpg and png figures to eps which is used by Latex to create the dvi file. Now I have no problem with the qt version under win XP. ( Off Topic, except for some strange error related to reconfiguring from inside lyx since my system is on the D: but I put lyx on C:. Running the configure script from the command line solves the problem though.) Hope the three lines above solves your problem. jorgen Ben Liesfeld wrote: Hello to all, Sorry to bother you all.

Math symbol question
Sorry to make this silly question, but I'm writing a paper containing
crystallographic notations using LyX and I need the symbol for parallel
planes or directions ("//", i.e. two slash bars, but spaced closer than
normal), I already looked at the AMS-LaTeX documentation, but couldn't
find this symbol in the list of the million and one amsfont provide. Do
somebody know how to write this symbol in LyX?
Thanks in advance,
Cláudio Schön
PS. Two slash bars side-by-side don't look good.

convertDefault.sh is apparently called in my setup. At least that's
what I think looking at the log. There's no pop up window asking me to
specify any program. It's executed (?) and calls convert.exe which calls
gswin32c.exe as it should be.
I cannot execute the command
"convert test.eps test.ppm" on the command line (same error as lyx
shows), that's why I thought it must be an ImageMagick problem.
> \converter "eps" "ppm" "convert $$i $$o" ""
> \converter "jpg" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" ""
> \converter "png" "eps" "convert $$i $$o" ""
Adding these three lines doesn't solve the problem. The error message
remains the same. Again, convert.exe from ImageMagick is executed
which can't correctly cooperate with gswin32c.exe.
The "lyx -dbg graphics" command again shows

What I am puzzled about is that - even though I added the /converter
lines to preferences in "C:\Documents and
Settings\[username]\.lyx\preferences" - some shell script is invoked
("build_script ... ready!...").
A shell script can't be run under WinXP. But that can't explain why
ghostscript fails (only that some files are not copied to the right
places).

How about two slashes with 'negative space' between them in math-mode?
Or in text mode, two slashes with \hspace{-0.5em} in ERT in between them.

This is done automatically if you you select French as the document language If the languages list contains "French" and "French (GUTenberg)", select the latter.

custom page size crops content
In the past, I have used a book document class with a custom page size of 9" X 5.5". But lately, when viewed with gv the document is cropped. (The right side is missing a couple inches of text.) I saw some postings at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05891.html from 1999, that seem to be related. But I am not sure. I am using lyx 1.3.2 (QT3 libs). But I was also using an old lyx from over a year ago with same results. (This is on NetBSD.) I am guessing my issue is gs related. I tried to see what dvi showed but when I use lyx to export to dvi, it appears that the dvi document is letter size (and not my custom size). I have gv-3.5.8nb3 (installed via NetBSD pkgsrc). gs is ghostscript-esp-7.05.5. Any ideas on how to fix this (or troubleshoot)? Thank you, Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/
Centering a figure in a float
I have inserted figures in a book by first inserting a figure-float then placing the graphic inside this. In both cases (so far only two figures inserted), I have the scale set at 50% for each, but they show up in the pdflatex output along the left side of the body area of the page. The caption is centered along the bottom. How do I center the graphic, too? Thanks, Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.

highlight the image then go layout paragraph then select center. I belive you can automaticly centre all images but putting something in the preamble but cant remember what it is now.

Lars, Any way it's done is fine with me, as long as I can get what I want from it. I had no problems with the old interface as the program worked, but I sure have come to like the Qt interface better. I'm seriously into a book (written with LyX and Xfig) and these tools are making it quick and easy. Well, sort of easy. :-) I take a lot of time looking at the users guide and advanced guide to figure out how to do what I need, but I'm learning more than I had needed in all my previous use. Come to think of it, ... I did some articles with figures and they were automatically centered. Guess that's why it didn't occur to me to look for a command/menu choice to do this now.

Equations in book class
Writing in book class, do I need to do more than invoke math mode to have the equations properly formatted on screen as well as on paper? I use the \sub, \textperiodcentered and \sup within math mode (invoking TeX mode, of course), but all I see is the text run together, not the symbols. On a related issue, if want to put spaces in the equation, pressing the space bar moves the cursor out the right side. I don't know what I've missed here. TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B.

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hello Ben,
I am not sure if I can help you with this.
I tested with and witout specifying a converter.
Below are 2 snippets.
In either case I don't get any message about ghostscript being called as

graphics)
When I specify (in the prefs):
\converter "eps" "ppm" "convert $$i $$o" ""
I get the following debug message when an eps figure is converted:

I think you have to use the Insert Space Buttom from the Math Panel. You can chose from thin, medium and thick spaces, etc. Or just press Strg-C-Space to insert a protected blank. Jeannette
