Re: LyX Problem: Using Figure Floats with Center-Justified Figures
Paul Medwell wrote: To centre a figure, there are two main alternatives. If you have come from a Microsoft background, the most intuitive will be to select the graphics, then Layout-Paragraph-Center.

Note that in the next release, LyX will insert the correct latex from Layout-Paragraph-Center. Just something to bear in mind... -- Angus
Unnumbered pages
Hey all, I am writing my thesis at the moment and I need to have the Abstract, Title page, Lists of Tables and Figures, etc to be unnumbered. That is I need the numbering to start at chapter one and have the first pages numbered i,ii,iii,iv etc. How do I do this? I looked at the help etc but couldnt seem to find anything. Also what is a good bibtex style that doesnt display titles of the references and is unsorted? Thanks, Toby __ Do you Yahoo!?

Put (in ERT):
\renewcommand\thepage{\roman{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}
where you want to start with the roman numbering (e.g. right before the toc),
and
\renewcommand\thepage{\arabic{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}
where you want to start the arabic numbering. If you use
\begin{titlepage}
...stuff on your titlepage...
\end{titlepage}
the titlepage has no page number. I don't know if this works for all document
classes, though. I use report (koma-script) for my thesis.
Also what is a good bibtex style that doesnt display
titles of the references and is unsorted?
There should be something like unsrt.bst, but you can also create your own
bibtex style with latex makebst.
Good luck!

Scientific Word files
I have a document created wiht Scientific Word, and exported as portable tex document.
Together with the tcilatex file, it compiles correctly, but how can I read it in lyx?
Is there a nice script that replaces SW macros like \unit{} with normal tex commands?
What is the correct way to insert units anyways?

strange bug in RH9 qt lyx1.3.3
Hello list, Here is a behavior that I have seen ever since I installed lyx for the first time a few months ago, version 1.3.2 but it did not really bother me. But now it's starting to get on my nerves so here it is. I am working in version 1.3.3 RH9 qt. Sometimes, when I select text in lyx, like for example I select a couple of lines to make them bold or italic or something, something strange happens and I seem to lose contact with the red hat task bar at the bottom of the screen. For example if I am running xmms but it's minimized then there is a little xmms button at the bottom. Problem is that if I click on that button to maximize xmms it takes like 5 minutes for that to happen. It eventually happens, but after quite a while. Then, after it opens (which it does all of a sudden), I can do anything INSIDE the window, like change the volume, add songs, whatever, and it responds just fine. No delay. Then I minimize it again, and it does it right away. If I try to remaximize it it takes 5 minutes again. Same with like a konsole or any other program, like kmail or mozilla or gftp. If it's minimized it takes 5 minutes to maximize it, then, I can work inside of it without a problem, and minimize it without a problem. During the dead time it seems to access the hard disk every couple of seconds or so, so it's not like it's busy working on something like updating the rpm database or something. If I want to open the start menu, again it takes 5 minutes. But if I move the mouse over the desktop it does turn into a little pointing hand when I hover over files or folders. So it seems that this bug is very specific to a certain part of the graphical interface, the task bar. This does not happen EVERY time I select text in lyx, but it ONLY happens when I have selected some text, and done like copy paste, or just changed the font type or something. Before, this used to happen for like a couple of minutes and then all the stuff I had clicked on would happen all at once. But this time I lost an hour and a half a cause de ces conneries. Oh, also, during the time it's quasi-frozen the clock on the task bar is not updated at all, so I can see exactly when it froze, and how much time I wasted. If anybody has ever seen this kind of behavior before, or if anybody has any clue what this is all about, I would appreciate a helping hand. This is exactly the kind of stuff I do not expect to see happening in Linux. Alex.

You could simply define a \unit macro that does what you need
without translating it at all. Apart from that,
Alternatively, create a math-macro. For example, if I open up a new,
empty document and then type
M-x (the Alt key and 'x' at the same time)
the cursor is placed in the minibuffer at the bottom of the LyX
window.
Typing in this window:
math-macro Vector 1[Return]
creates a math-macro in the main LyX window, looking something like:
Macro: Vector: [][]
Input the latex definition of the macro in the first box. In my case
that would be
Macro: Vector: [\boldmath{#1}][]
Usually you should leave the second box empty. It is a useful hack for
those times when the math editor doesn't provide visual feedback for
the macro you have defined. For example, LyX 1.3.x has no native
support for \boldmath, so you can 'fix' the display by telling LyX to
use \mathbf or similar.
Macro: Vector: [\boldmath{#1}][\mathbfspace#1]
where space is a literal space char. Note that, because LyX
understands \mathbf, this gets translated so that the '#1' is typeset
in bold.
What to put in the box? Whatever SW uses as its definition of \unit.

Re: strange bug in RH9 qt lyx1.3.3
I don't have any solution to your specific problem. All I can say is that I had a similar problem with klipper on a RH7.3 system distribution and with lyx1.3.1 running under KDE. After selecting text in lyx and clicking on the klipper icon in the taskbar, it took a while for klipper to pop-up the menu. Depending on the amount of text selected: the more text I selected, the longer it took klipper to display the menu. Some other persons reported no problem under similar conditions on an updated system (i.e. rh7.3 + some patches). I thought it was klipper's fault which may have been lost because of lyx's treatment of text. That's only a very wild guess as I don't know much of lyx's internal text handling. A bug in the taskbar or another part of your desktop can't be ruled out. May be you could try to find a way to reproduce the bug. From your description, one doesn't know what desktop you're using. Maybe you can provide more detailed information. cheers, JS Am Mon, 2003-10-27 um 14.19 schrieb Cabuz Alexandru: Hello list, Here is a behavior that I have seen ever since I installed lyx for the first time a few months ago, version 1.3.2 but it did not really bother me.

Column alignment in a table (LyX-1.3.3)
I checked the archives and found a thread from 2001 that asks how to change the default alignment in a table column from centered to left-aligned. Dekel Tsur's response doesn't seem to apply to the current version. I can change the alignment of the entire column (heading and data), but not individually. What I want is to have the column title centered, but the data in the rows below it left-aligned. How do I do this? TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.

The path and file name are correct. I understand that Win32 machines often have a 'convert.exe' file that converts file partitions to/from FAT32. Perhaps this is a PATH issue and the wrong 'convert' is getting called. No, the conversion is being done correctly, so it must be the correct convert program. I poked around with the script myself over the weekend, and may have come up with at least a partial answer. We seem to be dealing with not one but two problems here. The first is that Ruurd supplies a Windows port of sh but not a port of cut. Thus on a virgin installation of Ruurd's port, the line FILE=`echo $2 | cut -d ':' -f 2` in convertDefault.sh will fail silently (because cut is not found), setting FILE to a null value. The subsequent test -f $FILE || FSTATUS=1 must then succeed (trivially) and the script proceeds on the (untested) assumption that the converted file is where it is supposed to be -- which in fact it is in my test case. (If I comment out the line that calls cut, graphics display in LyX. Of course, this will go awry the day that a conversion actually fails.) The other confounding factor is that my machine's not a virgin; I have Cygwin installed, and Cygwin *does* supply cut.exe. So on my machine the call to cut works -- which turns out to be unfortunate, because argument $2 contains a drive specification (ppm:C:/LyX/...). The second colon causes the -f 2 argument to return C as the value of $FILE, and then the test fails. I tried -f 3 and -f 2-, and neither worked. What finally worked (I think) was FILE=`echo $2 | cut -d ':' -f 3` FILE=/c/$FILE and then the rest of the script as is.

In the particular case we're discussing it's not LaTeX. The Win32 version of
LyX is unable to display graphics files on screen if they need to first be
converted to a 'loadable' format. It transpires that there are several bugs
in the code when it comes to Win32 but the primary one is:
LyX calls the files stuff like 'C:/foo/bar.jpg'
It seems like the shell script and ImageMagick can handle this abuse but once
LyX is told that the conversion has succeeded it has code:
void CacheItem::Impl::imageConverted(bool success)
{
file_to_load_ = converter_.get() ?
converter_-convertedFile() : string();
success = !file_to_load_.empty() IsFileReadable(file_to_load_);
if (!success) {
lyxerr[Debug::GRAPHICS] Unable to find converted file!
endl;
setStatus(ErrorConverting);
return;
}
...
}
I bet that 'IsFileReadable(file_to_load_)' can't handle 'C:/foo/bar.jpg'
Anyway, we go on from there to actually loading the file. Can Qt cope with
such abuse? I'd be musch happier if we generated a 'reasonable' file name in
the first place.
void QLImage::load(string const filename)
{
if (!pixmap_.load(toqstr(filename))) {
lyxerr[Debug::GRAPHICS]
Unable to open image endl;
return;
}
I had a similar problem with the CVS lyx and had to apply the following
patch:
Yes, but this works around the problem rather than addresses the primary
cause.
I may be right, or I may be crazy.
But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for...
In this case I want someone sane, but thanks for the offer ;-)

Re: Enterind a matrix
Hello Rich, just try it again with this further information. I didn't figure out what exactly your problem is, but when I tried to put a bracket around a matrix I did either: 1. Insert the bracket and pklace the curser inside (that's where it is anyway after inserting a bracket) 2. Insert the matrix as described before. or: 1. Insert the matrix and highlighten it (there has to be one blue-filled box for all the 9 small boxes) maybe try to look at the matrix as if it is only one letter and highlighten this. 2. Insert the brackets and both worked just fine.

footnote indentation
I haven't been able to find any other posts that quite address the problem that I am having here. I have a document in the book (AMS) document class which has many (incredibly interesting!) footnotes. These footnotes are formatted fine, with a nice indent at the start of the note, as long as I keep the main text single space. But if I change the main text to 1.5 space or double space, the footnotes lose the indent, which makes them a bit difficult to distinguish from eachother. The margins are fine, the notes just lose the indent at the beginning. I tried removing all of the comments from my document preamble and setting everything to the class defaults to see if there was something obvious that might be causing this, but even in my resulting vanilla document I find the same problem. Sorry to be asking such an obvious question, but I haven't been able to find the answer to this one in any of the documentation or lists.

trouble with 1.3.3
Hi,
I am using lyx regularly to prepare slides and materials for classes.
With 1.3.3 I am working quite happily under SuSE 8.2. since it was
available.
Since a few days something goes wrong - any time I try to save a freshly
started slide file after I try to insert a table -- I get something like:
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the bug-reporting
instructions in Help-Introduction and send us a bug report, if necessary.
Thanks !
LyX: Versuche, das Dokument slides_three_new.lyx zu speichern...
slides_three_new.lyx.emergency
The emergency file then proves to be a bastard which sends lyx into an
infinite loop - if I copy xyz.lyx.emergency to xyz.lyx and then start lyx
xyz.lyx it never makes it further than just to display the qt-window
frame...
Well I should mention, that exporting or viewing PDF without saving the
file works nicely, only the save button has to be avoided...
Any idea how to proceed with diagnostics? (I have attached the latest
slides_three_new.lyx.emergency )

Unnumbered pages
Hey all, I am writing my thesis at the moment and I need to have the Abstract, Title page, Lists of Tables and Figures, etc to be unnumbered. That is I need the numbering to start at chapter one and have the first pages numbered i,ii,iii,iv etc. How do I do this? I looked at the help etc but couldnt seem to find anything.

Put (in ERT):
\renewcommand\thepage{\roman{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}
where you want to start with the roman numbering (e.g. right before the toc),
and
\renewcommand\thepage{\arabic{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}
where you want to start the arabic numbering. If you use
\begin{titlepage}
...stuff on your titlepage...
\end{titlepage}
the titlepage has no page number. I don't know if this works for all document
classes, though. I use report (koma-script) for my thesis.
Also what is a good bibtex style that doesnt display
titles of the references and is unsorted?
There should be something like unsrt.bst, but you can also create your own
bibtex style with latex makebst.
Good luck!

strange bug in RH9 qt lyx1.3.3
Hello list, Here is a behavior that I have seen ever since I installed lyx for the first time a few months ago, version 1.3.2 but it did not really bother me. But now it's starting to get on my nerves so here it is. I am working in version 1.3.3 RH9 qt. Sometimes, when I select text in lyx, like for example I select a couple of lines to make them bold or italic or something, something strange happens and I seem to lose contact with the red hat task bar at the bottom of the screen. For example if I am running xmms but it's minimized then there is a little xmms button at the bottom. Problem is that if I click on that button to maximize xmms it takes like 5 minutes for that to happen. It eventually happens, but after quite a while. Then, after it opens (which it does all of a sudden), I can do anything INSIDE the window, like change the volume, add songs, whatever, and it responds just fine. No delay. Then I minimize it again, and it does it right away. If I try to remaximize it it takes 5 minutes again. Same with like a konsole or any other program, like kmail or mozilla or gftp. If it's minimized it takes 5 minutes to maximize it, then, I can work inside of it without a problem, and minimize it without a problem. During the dead time it seems to access the hard disk every couple of seconds or so, so it's not like it's busy working on something like updating the rpm database or something. If I want to open the start menu, again it takes 5 minutes. But if I move the mouse over the desktop it does turn into a little pointing hand when I hover over files or folders. So it seems that this bug is very specific to a certain part of the graphical interface, the task bar. This does not happen EVERY time I select text in lyx, but it ONLY happens when I have selected some text, and done like copy paste, or just changed the font type or something. Before, this used to happen for like a couple of minutes and then all the stuff I had clicked on would happen all at once. But this time I lost an hour and a half a cause de ces conneries. Oh, also, during the time it's quasi-frozen the clock on the task bar is not updated at all, so I can see exactly when it froze, and how much time I wasted. If anybody has ever seen this kind of behavior before, or if anybody has any clue what this is all about, I would appreciate a helping hand. This is exactly the kind of stuff I do not expect to see happening in Linux. Alex.

You could simply define a \unit macro that does what you need without

You could simply define a \unit macro that does what you need
without translating it at all. Apart from that,
Alternatively, create a math-macro. For example, if I open up a new,
empty document and then type
M-x (the Alt key and 'x' at the same time)
the cursor is placed in the minibuffer at the bottom of the LyX
window.
Typing in this window:
math-macro Vector 1[Return]
creates a math-macro in the main LyX window, looking something like:
Macro: Vector: [][]
Input the latex definition of the macro in the first box. In my case
that would be
Macro: Vector: [\boldmath{#1}][]
Usually you should leave the second box empty. It is a useful hack for
those times when the math editor doesn't provide visual feedback for
the macro you have defined. For example, LyX 1.3.x has no native
support for \boldmath, so you can 'fix' the display by telling LyX to
use \mathbf or similar.
Macro: Vector: [\boldmath{#1}][\mathbfspace#1]
where space is a literal space char. Note that, because LyX
understands \mathbf, this gets translated so that the '#1' is typeset
in bold.
What to put in the box? Whatever SW uses as its definition of \unit.

Re: strange bug in RH9 qt lyx1.3.3
I don't have any solution to your specific problem. All I can say is that I had a similar problem with klipper on a RH7.3 system distribution and with lyx1.3.1 running under KDE. After selecting text in lyx and clicking on the klipper icon in the taskbar, it took a while for klipper to pop-up the menu. Depending on the amount of text selected: the more text I selected, the longer it took klipper to display the menu. Some other persons reported no problem under similar conditions on an updated system (i.e. rh7.3 + some patches). I thought it was klipper's fault which may have been lost because of lyx's treatment of text. That's only a very wild guess as I don't know much of lyx's internal text handling. A bug in the taskbar or another part of your desktop can't be ruled out. May be you could try to find a way to reproduce the bug. From your description, one doesn't know what desktop you're using. Maybe you can provide more detailed information. cheers, JS Am Mon, 2003-10-27 um 14.19 schrieb Cabuz Alexandru: Hello list, Here is a behavior that I have seen ever since I installed lyx for the first time a few months ago, version 1.3.2 but it did not really bother me.

Column alignment in a table (LyX-1.3.3)

The path and file name are correct. I understand that Win32 machines often have a 'convert.exe' file that converts file partitions to/from FAT32. Perhaps this is a PATH issue and the wrong 'convert' is getting called. No, the conversion is being done correctly, so it must be the correct convert program. I poked around with the script myself over the weekend, and may have come up with at least a partial answer. We seem to be dealing with not one but two problems here. The first is that Ruurd supplies a Windows port of sh but not a port of cut. Thus on a virgin installation of Ruurd's port, the line FILE=`echo $2 | cut -d ':' -f 2` in convertDefault.sh will fail silently (because cut is not found), setting FILE to a null value. The subsequent test -f $FILE || FSTATUS=1 must then succeed (trivially) and the script proceeds on the (untested) assumption that the converted file is where it is supposed to be -- which in fact it is in my test case. (If I comment out the line that calls cut, graphics display in LyX. Of course, this will go awry the day that a conversion actually fails.) The other confounding factor is that my machine's not a virgin; I have Cygwin installed, and Cygwin *does* supply cut.exe. So on my machine the call to cut works -- which turns out to be unfortunate, because argument $2 contains a drive specification (ppm:C:/LyX/...). The second colon causes the -f 2 argument to return C as the value of $FILE, and then the test fails. I tried -f 3 and -f 2-, and neither worked. What finally worked (I think) was FILE=`echo $2 | cut -d ':' -f 3` FILE=/c/$FILE and then the rest of the script as is.

Good. So we have probably nailed down the problem. The file is

Maybe it's not LyX, but LaTeX?
In the particular case we're discussing it's not LaTeX. The Win32 version of
LyX is unable to display graphics files on screen if they need to first be
converted to a 'loadable' format. It transpires that there are several bugs
in the code when it comes to Win32 but the primary one is:
LyX calls the files stuff like 'C:/foo/bar.jpg'
It seems like the shell script and ImageMagick can handle this abuse but once
LyX is told that the conversion has succeeded it has code:
void CacheItem::Impl::imageConverted(bool success)
{
file_to_load_ = converter_.get() ?
converter_-convertedFile() : string();
success = !file_to_load_.empty() IsFileReadable(file_to_load_);
if (!success) {
lyxerr[Debug::GRAPHICS] Unable to find converted file!
endl;
setStatus(ErrorConverting);
return;
}
...
}
I bet that 'IsFileReadable(file_to_load_)' can't handle 'C:/foo/bar.jpg'
Anyway, we go on from there to actually loading the file. Can Qt cope with
such abuse? I'd be musch happier if we generated a 'reasonable' file name in
the first place.
void QLImage::load(string const filename)
{
if (!pixmap_.load(toqstr(filename))) {
lyxerr[Debug::GRAPHICS]
Unable to open image endl;
return;
}

Yes, but this works around the problem rather than addresses the primary
cause.

Hello Rich, just try it again with this further information. I didn't figure out what exactly your problem is, but when I tried to put a bracket around a matrix I did either: 1. Insert the bracket and pklace the curser inside (that's where it is anyway after inserting a bracket) 2. Insert the matrix as described before. or: 1. Insert the matrix and highlighten it (there has to be one blue-filled box for all the 9 small boxes) maybe try to look at the matrix as if it is only one letter and highlighten this. 2. Insert the brackets and both worked just fine.

footnote indentation
I haven't been able to find any other posts that quite address the problem that I am having here. I have a document in the book (AMS) document class which has many (incredibly interesting!) footnotes. These footnotes are formatted fine, with a nice indent at the start of the note, as long as I keep the main text single space. But if I change the main text to 1.5 space or double space, the footnotes lose the indent, which makes them a bit difficult to distinguish from eachother. The margins are fine, the notes just lose the indent at the beginning. I tried removing all of the comments from my document preamble and setting everything to the class defaults to see if there was something obvious that might be causing this, but even in my resulting vanilla document I find the same problem. Sorry to be asking such an obvious question, but I haven't been able to find the answer to this one in any of the documentation or lists.

trouble with 1.3.3
Hi,
I am using lyx regularly to prepare slides and materials for classes.
With 1.3.3 I am working quite happily under SuSE 8.2. since it was
available.
Since a few days something goes wrong - any time I try to save a freshly
started slide file after I try to insert a table -- I get something like:
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the bug-reporting
instructions in Help-Introduction and send us a bug report, if necessary.
Thanks !
LyX: Versuche, das Dokument slides_three_new.lyx zu speichern...
slides_three_new.lyx.emergency
The emergency file then proves to be a bastard which sends lyx into an
infinite loop - if I copy xyz.lyx.emergency to xyz.lyx and then start lyx
xyz.lyx it never makes it further than just to display the qt-window
frame...
Well I should mention, that exporting or viewing PDF without saving the
file works nicely, only the save button has to be avoided...
Any idea how to proceed with diagnostics? (I have attached the latest
slides_three_new.lyx.emergency )

Put (in ERT):
\renewcommand\thepage{\roman{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}
where you want to start with the roman numbering (e.g. right before the toc),
and
\renewcommand\thepage{\arabic{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}
where you want to start the arabic numbering. If you use
\begin{titlepage}
...stuff on your titlepage...
\end{titlepage}
the titlepage has no page number. I don't know if this works for all document
classes, though. I use report (koma-script) for my thesis.
> Also what is a good bibtex style that doesnt display

There should be something like unsrt.bst, but you can also create your own
bibtex style with latex makebst.
Good luck!

strange bug in RH9 qt lyx1.3.3
Hello list, Here is a behavior that I have seen ever since I installed lyx for the first time a few months ago, version 1.3.2 but it did not really bother me. But now it's starting to get on my nerves so here it is. I am working in version 1.3.3 RH9 qt. Sometimes, when I select text in lyx, like for example I select a couple of lines to make them bold or italic or something, something strange happens and I seem to lose contact with the red hat task bar at the bottom of the screen. For example if I am running xmms but it's minimized then there is a little xmms button at the bottom. Problem is that if I click on that button to maximize xmms it takes like 5 minutes for that to happen. It eventually happens, but after quite a while. Then, after it opens (which it does all of a sudden), I can do anything INSIDE the window, like change the volume, add songs, whatever, and it responds just fine. No delay. Then I minimize it again, and it does it right away. If I try to remaximize it it takes 5 minutes again. Same with like a konsole or any other program, like kmail or mozilla or gftp. If it's minimized it takes 5 minutes to maximize it, then, I can work inside of it without a problem, and minimize it without a problem. During the dead time it seems to access the hard disk every couple of seconds or so, so it's not like it's busy working on something like updating the rpm database or something. If I want to open the start menu, again it takes 5 minutes. But if I move the mouse over the desktop it does turn into a little pointing hand when I hover over files or folders. So it seems that this bug is very specific to a certain part of the graphical interface, the task bar. This does not happen EVERY time I select text in lyx, but it ONLY happens when I have selected some text, and done like copy paste, or just changed the font type or something. Before, this used to happen for like a couple of minutes and then all the stuff I had clicked on would happen all at once. But this time I lost an hour and a half a cause de ces conneries. Oh, also, during the time it's "quasi-frozen" the clock on the task bar is not updated at all, so I can see exactly when it froze, and how much time I wasted. If anybody has ever seen this kind of behavior before, or if anybody has any clue what this is all about, I would appreciate a helping hand. This is exactly the kind of stuff I do not expect to see happening in Linux. Alex.

And try both reLyX and recent tex2lyx on the result. tex2lyx should be
quite a bit better, but there are a few corner cases were reLyX is
better.

You could simply define a \unit macro that does what you need without
translating it at all. Apart from that,
perl -pi -e 's:\\unit{}:whatever:g'
should do as 'script'.

Alternatively, create a math-macro. For example, if I open up a new,
empty document and then type
M-x (the Alt key and 'x' at the same time)
the cursor is placed in the minibuffer at the bottom of the LyX
window.
Typing in this window:
math-macro Vector 1[Return]
creates a math-macro in the main LyX window, looking something like:
Macro: Vector: [][]
Input the latex definition of the macro in the first box. In my case
that would be
Macro: Vector: [\boldmath{#1}][]
Usually you should leave the second box empty. It is a useful hack for
those times when the math editor doesn't provide visual feedback for
the macro you have defined. For example, LyX 1.3.x has no native
support for \boldmath, so you can 'fix' the display by telling LyX to
use \mathbf or similar.
Macro: Vector: [\boldmath{#1}][\mathbf#1]
where is a literal space char. Note that, because LyX
understands \mathbf, this gets translated so that the '#1' is typeset
in bold.
What to put in the box? Whatever SW uses as its definition of \unit.

Re: strange bug in RH9 qt lyx1.3.3
I don't have any solution to your specific problem. All I can say is that I had a similar problem with klipper on a RH7.3 system distribution and with lyx1.3.1 running under KDE. After selecting text in lyx and clicking on the klipper icon in the taskbar, it took a while for klipper to pop-up the menu. Depending on the amount of text selected: the more text I selected, the longer it took klipper to display the menu. Some other persons reported no problem under similar conditions on an updated system (i.e. rh7.3 + "some" patches). I thought it was klipper's fault which may have been lost because of lyx's treatment of text. That's only a very wild guess as I don't know much of lyx's internal text handling. A bug in the taskbar or another part of your desktop can't be ruled out. May be you could try to find a way to reproduce the bug. >From your description, one doesn't know what desktop you're using.

Column alignment in a table (LyX-1.3.3)
I checked the archives and found a thread from 2001 that asks how to change the default alignment in a table column from centered to left-aligned. Dekel Tsur's response doesn't seem to apply to the current version. I can change the alignment of the entire column (heading and data), but not individually. What I want is to have the column title centered, but the data in the rows below it left-aligned. How do I do this? TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.

Label placement for table reference
I want to put a cross-reference in the body of the text to a table. The table is placed in a float. Where do I place the label? If placed at the beginning of the caption it is a 'caption label'.

Perhaps this is a PATH issue > and the wrong 'convert' is getting called. No, the conversion is being done correctly, so it must be the correct "convert" program. I poked around with the script myself over the weekend, and may have come up with at least a partial answer. We seem to be dealing with not one but two problems here. The first is that Ruurd supplies a Windows port of sh but not a port of cut. Thus on a "virgin" installation of Ruurd's port, the line FILE=`echo $2 | cut -d ':' -f 2` in convertDefault.sh will fail silently (because cut is not found), setting FILE to a null value. The subsequent test -f $FILE || FSTATUS=1 must then succeed (trivially) and the script proceeds on the (untested) assumption that the converted file is where it is supposed to be -- which in fact it is in my test case. (If I comment out the line that calls cut, graphics display in LyX. Of course, this will go awry the day that a conversion actually fails.) The other confounding factor is that my machine's not a virgin; I have Cygwin installed, and Cygwin *does* supply cut.exe. So on my machine the call to cut works -- which turns out to be unfortunate, because argument $2 contains a drive specification (ppm:C:/LyX/...). The second colon causes the -f 2 argument to return C as the value of $FILE, and then the test fails. I tried -f 3 and -f 2-, and neither worked. What finally worked (I think) was FILE=`echo $2 | cut -d ':' -f 3` FILE="/c/$FILE" and then the rest of the script as is.

Good. So we have probably nailed down the problem. The file is generated correctly but LyX itself is unable to understand this 'mixed language' file name 'C:/foo/bar.ppm'. The proper fix will almost certainly be to tell LyX that the file name is of the form 'C:\foo\bar.ppm. It should be able to find that well enough. > I poked around with the script myself over the weekend, and may have > come up with at least a partial answer. Yes, I have come to this conclusion myself and have changed the script appropriately. The relevant line is now FILE=`echo $arg2 | sed 's,^[^:]*:,,'` which cuts off anything up to and including the first ':'. In the long run it may be easier to change the language and use python. > Disclaimer here: I grew up in the PC world and speak very limited > amounts of Unix.

Well, I'll hold your hand in the unix world if you hold mine in the pc one ;-) I'll try and fix the real problem which lies in the LyX sources. Many thanks for your detective work. -- Angus

In the particular case we're discussing it's not LaTeX. The Win32 version of
LyX is unable to display graphics files on screen if they need to first be
converted to a 'loadable' format. It transpires that there are several bugs
in the code when it comes to Win32 but the primary one is:
LyX calls the files stuff like 'C:/foo/bar.jpg'
It seems like the shell script and ImageMagick can handle this abuse but once
LyX is told that the conversion has succeeded it has code:
void CacheItem::Impl::imageConverted(bool success)
{
file_to_load_ = converter_.get() ?
converter_->convertedFile() : string();
success = !file_to_load_.empty() && IsFileReadable(file_to_load_);
if (!success) {
lyxerr[Debug::GRAPHICS] << "Unable to find converted file!"
<< endl;
setStatus(ErrorConverting);
return;
}
...
}
I bet that 'IsFileReadable(file_to_load_)' can't handle 'C:/foo/bar.jpg'
Anyway, we go on from there to actually loading the file. Can Qt cope with
such abuse? I'd be musch happier if we generated a 'reasonable' file name in
the first place.
void QLImage::load(string const & filename)
{
if (!pixmap_.load(toqstr(filename))) {
lyxerr[Debug::GRAPHICS]
<< "Unable to open image" << endl;
return;
}

Re: Enterind a matrix
Hello Rich, just try it again with this further information. I didn't figure out what exactly your problem is, but when I tried to put a bracket around a matrix I did either: 1. Insert the bracket and pklace the curser inside (that's where it is anyway after inserting a bracket) 2. Insert the matrix as described before. or: 1. Insert the matrix and highlighten it (there has to be one blue-filled box for all the 9 small boxes) "maybe try to look at the matrix as if it is only one letter and highlighten this". 2. Insert the brackets and both worked just fine.

This is what I've been trying to do. I keep getting 9 little blue boxes until ... I held down the ctrl key while blocking the matrix boxes with the trackball. _That_ worked! Perhaps it's just my installation. I don't know why I had so much trouble, but I just could not get a single, large highlight for all matrix elements. Whew! Thanks to all of you, Rich Dr. Richard B.

footnote indentation
I haven't been able to find any other posts that quite address the problem that I am having here. I have a document in the book (AMS) document class which has many (incredibly interesting!) footnotes. These footnotes are formatted fine, with a nice indent at the start of the note, as long as I keep the main text single space. But if I change the main text to 1.5 space or double space, the footnotes lose the indent, which makes them a bit difficult to distinguish from eachother. The margins are fine, the notes just lose the indent at the beginning. I tried removing all of the comments from my document preamble and setting everything to the class defaults to see if there was something obvious that might be causing this, but even in my resulting "vanilla" document I find the same problem. Sorry to be asking such an obvious question, but I haven't been able to find the answer to this one in any of the documentation or lists. Thanks, and best wishes, Jim -- James Cane-Carrasco Department of History/SIAS University of Oklahoma [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That should work, at least it works for me. The same goes for figures. You can rename the 'cap:' to 'fig:' or 'table:' if you want. Jeannette
trouble with 1.3.3
Hi,
I am using lyx regularly to prepare slides and materials for classes.
With 1.3.3 I am working quite happily under SuSE 8.2. since it was
available.
Since a few days something goes wrong - any time I try to save a freshly
started slide file after I try to insert a table -- I get something like:
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the bug-reporting
instructions in Help->Introduction and send us a bug report, if necessary.
Thanks !
LyX: Versuche, das Dokument slides_three_new.lyx zu speichern...
slides_three_new.lyx.emergency
The emergency file then proves to be a bastard which sends lyx into an
infinite loop - if I copy xyz.lyx.emergency to xyz.lyx and then start lyx
xyz.lyx & it never makes it further than just to display the qt-window
frame...
Well I should mention, that exporting or viewing PDF without saving the
file works nicely, only the save button has to be avoided...
Any idea how to proceed with diagnostics? (I have attached the latest
"slides_three_new.lyx.emergency" )
thanx

Energy of Biomass Fuels

Thinking chemistrywise:
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \[
A+B\longrightarrow C+D\]
\end_inset
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula $\Delta H_{reaction}=H_{products}-H_{educts}$
\end_inset
and
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula $\Delta G_{reaction}=G_{products}-G_{educts}$
\end_inset
\layout Standard
So, if we talk of
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
energy content
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
of some biofuel
\begin_inset Formula $A$
\end_inset
we in reality assume that this is the
\emph on
enthalpy
\emph default
released in the reaction of
\begin_inset Formula $A$
\end_inset
with oxygen under some well defined conditions (
\begin_inset Formula $B$
\end_inset
in the equation above) to the products
\begin_inset Formula $C+D$
\end_inset
(regularly
\emph on
water
\emph default
and carbon
\emph on
dioxide
\emph default
).
\layout Standard
And there is a further complication:
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \[
CH_{4}+2O_{2}\longrightarrow CO_{2}+2H_{2}O\]
\end_inset
\layout Standard
...the so called
\emph on
stoichiometric factors.
\layout Standard
So for the
\emph on
combustion reaction of methane
\emph default
the above given calculcations for
\begin_inset Formula $\Delta H_{reaction}$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $\Delta G_{reaction}$
\end_inset
are better made in the following way:
\layout Standard
\align center
