 Well, maybe, but when I remove that line from the Tex file, the PDF
 comes out nice.

This depends on the contents of your file. If you had 8 bit characters such
as 'ä' in it, it would not work without T1.

My way of doing this is:
Insert a figure float. Go inside, set the paragraph type to

Set each minipage to 50% of COL or less.


With 50% the hfill is not necessary, is it?
Correct, it is not necessary when you use two figures with 50% size.
You may want the hfill anyway, because you may have to reduce the size
of the figures later.  

The reason for that, is that theree is no space between those 50% minipages,
so their contents might touch in an ugly way.  This does usually not happen
with the graphical contents, but it will easily happen to the captions.
(Then there are figures composed of several graphich insets with hfills between
them, some get pushed to the edge of the minipage.)
I also include a few paragraphs of explanatory text in my figures, at times.
A multi-line paragraph of text obviously flows to the edges of the minipage.
Remember, almost anything that can be put on an ordinary page can
be put into a minipage too. 


In each minipage, include graphichs (insert-graphichs)  Center 
the graphichs using layout-pragraph.
Press enter after each graphic, to get a new paragraph. 
Set the paragraph type to caption, and enter caption text.


Nice, now we only need a keybinding for the command sequence that does this

idea 1: command-sequence ...   Might have problems with some commands

idea 2: put the 2-minipages-float in a template file and do Insert-File

Useful indeed, if you often want exactly 2 figures in a float.  I tend to use
n figures in a float wit n ranging from 1 to 8.  So I build the float by
hand everytime.
To save time, I only create the first minipage with caption  a centered 
graphich.  Then I copy the entire minipage as many times as needed and fill in
the filenames for the graphichs and the contents of the captions.

If you're writing a lot of those double figures, keep a document containing
an empty double figure.  Open it along with your main document, and
copy+paste the empty figure when needed.  This approach makes up for the lack
of text element templates.

Re: Paragraph indent problem

[Timothy H. Keitt]

Yes, thanks for your help. It was a general comment, not about your
suggestion. It looks to me like Lyx is going down the wrong path. The
gui should represent the _logical_ structure of the document, not
attempt to be wysiwyg. Paragraph handles and menu options that operate
on all paragraphs would be welcome. This is prompting me to think about
returning to auctex mode.

Re: beamer class: not opt. args for institute and date in slide

[Uwe Sthr]

 My problem is:
 The optinal arguments to institute and date don't get displayed in
 the footer of my slides when I process the pdf.
 My file is the template that comes with the package:
 beamerpresentation.lyx
 The optional Arguments for title and author get displayed.
 Any hint?
If you want another layout, you have to change the beamertheme.
You can start with the theme-file 'beamerthemeshadow.sty', which is used 
in 'beamerpresentation.lyx' (see the preamble). You can edit the layout 
of the footer in the \usefoottemplate section. When you look in the 
file, cou can see, that only \insertshortauthor and \insertshorttitle is 
used to print out the author and title. But you can  add 
\insertshortintitute to print the institute. The other \insert- commands 
are explained in the beameruserguide, chap. 9.4 (in this case chap. 9.4.9).

  No. You can add automatic numbering to equations, but that won't add a
label to each line of an equation. I guess someone more knowledgeable than I

This depends on the contents of your file. If you had 8 bit characters such

My way of doing this is:
Insert a figure float. Go inside, set the paragraph type to 
"standard" instead of the default "caption" Insert two minipages inside 
the float
(insert->minipage)  with a hfill (insert->special->hfill) between them.
Set each minipage to 50% of COL or less.


With 50% the hfill is not necessary, is it?
Correct, it is not necessary when you use two figures with 50% size.
You may want the hfill anyway, because you may have to reduce the size
of the figures later.  

The reason for that, is that theree is no space between those 50% minipages,
so their contents might touch in an ugly way.  This does usually not happen
with the graphical contents, but it will easily happen to the captions.
(Then there are figures composed of several graphich insets with hfills between
them, some get pushed to the edge of the minipage.)
I also include a few paragraphs of explanatory text in my figures, at times.
A multi-line paragraph of text obviously flows to the edges of the minipage.
Remember, almost anything that can be put on an ordinary page can
be put into a minipage too. 


In each minipage, include graphichs (insert->graphichs)  Center 
the graphichs using layout->pragraph.
Press enter after each graphic, to get a new paragraph. 
Set the paragraph type to caption, and enter caption text.


Nice, now we only need a keybinding for the command sequence that does this

idea 1: command-sequence ...   Might have problems with some commands

idea 2: put the 2-minipages-float in a template file and do Insert->File

Useful indeed, if you often want exactly 2 figures in a float.  I tend to use
"n figures in a float" wit n ranging from 1 to 8.  So I build the float by
hand everytime.
To save time, I only create the first minipage with caption & a centered 
graphich.  Then I copy the entire minipage as many times as needed and fill in
the filenames for the graphichs and the contents of the captions.

If you're writing a lot of those double figures, keep a document containing
an empty double figure.  Open it along with your main document, and
copy+paste the empty figure when needed.  This approach makes up for the lack
of text element templates.

Re: Paragraph indent problem

[Timothy H. Keitt]

Yes, thanks for your help. It was a general comment, not about your
suggestion. It looks to me like Lyx is going down the wrong path. The
gui should represent the _logical_ structure of the document, not
attempt to be wysiwyg. Paragraph "handles" and menu options that operate
on all paragraphs would be welcome. This is prompting me to think about
returning to auctex mode.

I have an equation with three cases.. something like

  = b if blah2
  = c if blah3
I am using the cases enviroment to do this? How can I label these cases 
so I can say later something like "Case (1) shows..."?

Raphael,

  I use a left curly brace followed by a vector (matrix with one column and
three rows). You can always refer to them as "when a ...", "if b ..." and so
on.

If you want another layout, you have to change the beamertheme.
You can start with the theme-file 'beamerthemeshadow.sty', which is used 
in 'beamerpresentation.lyx' (see the preamble). You can edit the layout 
of the footer in the \usefoottemplate section. When you look in the 
file, cou can see, that only \insertshortauthor and \insertshorttitle is 
used to print out the author and title. But you can  add 
\insertshortintitute to print the institute. The other \insert- commands 
are explained in the beameruserguide, chap. 9.4 (in this case chap. 9.4.9).
