Why wait for lyx 1.4, its been available for as long as I can remember 
(which means at least from five minutes ago ;-).


Go to Layout-document-bullets, choose the first bullet and then press 
set bullet-custom and just leave the entry blank. That will make an empty 
bullet.


The problem is that this approach will work as long as you don't want 
bullets anywhere else in the document. The ert approach allows you to 
change the bullets midway and then change back (notice that I posted the 
wrong version, look above for erasing bullets.)


BTW, if you don't want to change back you can just remove the two lines 
starting with \let...

Just for future reference in the folder (or equivalent on your system)

Sree,

  It depends on whether you want the symbol in math mode or text mode.
Different fonts, different presentation. You can also type \alpha in an ERT
box and put the alpha symbol in the line of text.

  On CTAN you'll find a book that lists all possible symbols and their LaTeX
codes. It's a valuable desktop reference.

Screen Dumps - LyX Docs

[Rich Shepard]

  For a change of pace, I offer information of potential use to others rather
than asking for help. :-)

  I'm writing the User Manual for my fuzzy system modeling software and need
to illustrate the application's GUI screens in the text. Well, The GIMP is
great for generating a high-quality .jpg, but this format doesn't play nice
with LyX or LaTeX.

  Yesterday I rummaged around the corners of the Web and disovered a great
tool called jpeg2ps. I changed the default paper size from A4 to letter in
the Makefile and it built just fine. I put the executable in /usr/local/bin
and it works really well.

  This tool translates the header from .jpg to either .ps or .eps; I used the
latter. It keeps the compressed image data the same, just wraps the header so
it looks and feels like an encapsulated PostScript file. LyX happily accepted
it and it displays well.

  So, in case I'm not the last to learn of this tool, I hope that it proves
useful to others out there who need to put screen dumps into a LyX/LaTeX
document.

Closing/restarting LyX, or closing/reopening the document?  (The former

  That is true, one problems is that more and more times the man pages do not 
reflect all the project features.

  I hope that now that docbook is becoming the standard for free software 
documentation and with the convertions tools from docbook to man improving 
fast there is another push for man documentation.

  The main point in my remark was *eps2:* and this is not present as well in 
the man pages.

$ convert myfile.jpg myfile.eps

This version expands the jpg file generating thus huge sizes.

$ convert myfile.jpg eps2:myfile.eps

This does what you described, it inserts a decoder allowing for smaller sizes, 
I think that eps2 is shortcut for EPS level 2.

Probably, Derek, you could get further help from Fedora mailing lists.
Try it and good luck!
   



He could try, but it's a long shot: upgrade from RHL9 to FC4 is a
_gigantic_ leap of faith, most of the people on Fedora will flatly 
dismiss it as unsupported.


I'd just back up your home dir and do a fresh install of FC4
(it really is a nice system after all).

 


Solution:
Didn't try the Fedora mailing lists.  Since there were so many other 
problems with the upgrade (for example, I had to manually change the 
symlinks from LPRng to CUPS, even though I found a bug report from 2-3 
years ago about a similar problem with a RH7.3-FC1 upgrade) in addition 
to having TeX directories in places they had no business being, I just 
backed up all the important scientific data and home directories and did 
a fresh install.  Installed LyX, and now most everything seems to be 
working fine.


thanks for the help,

Another advantage of ImageMagick's convert utility is that you can also 
crop and resize the graphic as part of the same command. I use it to 
trim and resize digital photos. It is also excellent for changing, as 
part of the same command, colour to grayscale. As for image formats 
supported, the short answer is: If it exists, ImageMagick supports it.

I do this stuff a lot. I have a Windows Explorer icon on my desktop.
Start--All Program--Accessories--rt-click on Windows Explorer
and choose Send To and put a shortcut on the desktop.

But since I already have that in place it would take less than a
minute to open two instances of Windows Explorer, minimized,
one open to Program Files and the other open to C:\
Then it is just drag and drop progra~1\lyx to c:\lyx

It is just as easy to drag it back. The time consuming part is
changing the Path statement to include c:\lyx\lyx\bin and Resources.
Then I always reboot to be on the safe side so it takes about 5 minutes.

I perfected this because I would sometimes install those tar files
at the wrong level and have to move them down or around a level.
I thought this was a good trick to share for other occasions as I
see that Angus has already produced a patch for you.

When a .lyx document is viewed, for instance by postscript, gsview32
can navigate to the directory where the new viewable version is created.
It is about six directories deep and thru two directories with spaces.
When I tried this with a ghostscript Linux port, the program closed down.
But the port can read c:\lyx\lyx\bin\tmp where tmpbuf files are now
created after I messed with the Path in Lyx -- Edit --Preferences--Path

These are a few of my favorite quirks,

bullet.


The problem is that this approach will work as long as you don't want 
bullets anywhere else in the document. The ert approach allows you to 
change the bullets midway and then change back (notice that I posted the 
wrong version, look above for erasing bullets.)


BTW, if you don't want to change back you can just remove the two lines 
starting with \let...

Just for future reference in the folder (or equivalent on your system)

ther should be a file named symbols-a4 in both pdf and ps formats.

Sree,

  It depends on whether you want the symbol in math mode or text mode.
Different fonts, different presentation. You can also type \alpha in an ERT
box and put the alpha symbol in the line of text.

  On CTAN you'll find a book that lists all possible symbols and their LaTeX
codes. It's a valuable desktop reference.

Screen Dumps - LyX Docs

[Rich Shepard]

  For a change of pace, I offer information of potential use to others rather
than asking for help. :-)

  I'm writing the User Manual for my fuzzy system modeling software and need
to illustrate the application's GUI screens in the text. Well, The GIMP is
great for generating a high-quality .jpg, but this format doesn't play nice
with LyX or LaTeX.

  Yesterday I rummaged around the corners of the Web and disovered a great
tool called jpeg2ps. I changed the default paper size from A4 to letter in
the Makefile and it built just fine. I put the executable in /usr/local/bin
and it works really well.

  This tool translates the header from .jpg to either .ps or .eps; I used the
latter. It keeps the compressed image data the same, just wraps the header so
it looks and feels like an encapsulated PostScript file. LyX happily accepted
it and it displays well.

  So, in case I'm not the last to learn of this tool, I hope that it proves
useful to others out there who need to put screen dumps into a LyX/LaTeX
document.

I'd just back up your home dir and do a fresh install of FC4
(it really is a nice system after all).

 


Solution:
Didn't try the Fedora mailing lists.  Since there were so many other 
problems with the upgrade (for example, I had to manually change the 
symlinks from LPRng to CUPS, even though I found a bug report from 2-3 
years ago about a similar problem with a RH7.3-FC1 upgrade) in addition 
to having TeX directories in places they had no business being, I just 
backed up all the important scientific data and home directories and did 
a fresh install.  Installed LyX, and now most everything seems to be 
working fine.

Another advantage of ImageMagick's convert utility is that you can also 
crop and resize the graphic as part of the same command. I use it to 
trim and resize digital photos. It is also excellent for changing, as 
part of the same command, colour to grayscale. As for image formats 
supported, the short answer is: If it exists, ImageMagick supports it.

I do this stuff a lot. I have a Windows Explorer icon on my desktop.
Start--All Program--Accessories--rt-click on Windows Explorer
and choose Send To and put a shortcut on the desktop.

But since I already have that in place it would take less than a
minute to open two instances of Windows Explorer, minimized,
one open to Program Files and the other open to C:\
Then it is just drag and drop progra~1\lyx to c:\lyx

It is just as easy to drag it back. The time consuming part is
changing the Path statement to include c:\lyx\lyx\bin and Resources.
Then I always reboot to be on the safe side so it takes about 5 minutes.

I perfected this because I would sometimes install those tar files
at the wrong level and have to move them down or around a level.
I thought this was a good trick to share for other occasions as I
see that Angus has already produced a patch for you.

When a .lyx document is viewed, for instance by postscript, gsview32
can navigate to the directory where the new viewable version is created.
It is about six directories deep and thru two directories with spaces.
When I tried this with a ghostscript Linux port, the program closed down.
But the port can read c:\lyx\lyx\bin\tmp where tmpbuf files are now
created after I messed with the Path in Lyx -- Edit --Preferences--Path

It looks like there's a quoting problem somewhere.
  sh C:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/lyx/scripts/TeXFiles.sh
is very different to
  sh "C:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/lyx/scripts/TeXFiles.sh"

... OK, got it. Patch attached. This will eventually make it into the LyX

got many Error when try previewing

[Luqman H]

hi,

when previewing in dvi or postscript, i got many error says:
"There were errors during LaTeX run.
48 errors detected
you should try to fix them."

some of the error like this:
---
Missing number, treated as zero.
 \begin
 {center}\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
---
LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats.
 \begin
 {center}\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
You've lost some text.  Try typingto proceed.
If that doesn't work, type  X   to quit.
---
Missing = inserted for \ifnum.
 \end{figure}
   
I was expecting to see `<', `=', or `>'. Didn't.

i'm using LyX 1.3.5 on Windows
but i have try on Linux too, with the same result
please if you could help solve this problem

_gigantic_ leap of faith, most of the people on Fedora will flatly 
dismiss it as unsupported.


I'd just back up your home dir and do a fresh install of FC4
(it really is a nice system after all).

 


Solution:
Didn't try the Fedora mailing lists.  Since there were so many other 
problems with the upgrade (for example, I had to manually change the 
symlinks from LPRng to CUPS, even though I found a bug report from 2-3 
years ago about a similar problem with a RH7.3->FC1 upgrade) in addition 
to having TeX directories in places they had no business being, I just 
backed up all the important scientific data and home directories and did 
a fresh install.  Installed LyX, and now most everything seems to be 
working fine.


thanks for the help,
Derek

This version expands the jpg file generating thus huge sizes.

$ convert myfile.jpg eps2:myfile.eps

This does what you described, it inserts a decoder allowing for
smaller sizes, I think that eps2 is shortcut for EPS level 2.


Another advantage of ImageMagick's convert utility is that you can also 
crop and resize the graphic as part of the same command. I use it to 
trim and resize digital photos. It is also excellent for changing, as 
part of the same command, colour to grayscale. As for image formats 
supported, the short answer is: If it exists, ImageMagick supports it.

I had msys installed in c:\MSYS\1.0\bin
That was the default path for me. But the default path for lyx was in
program files. When I shifted lyx also to c:\lyx; Tex information works
perfectly. Thanks Stephen for the tip



But surley if c:\msys\1.0\bin is in the path then it doesn't matter where 
Lyx is?


I am reluctant to move my whole lyx setup. Surely there is another way for 
this to work so I can see Tex info and a full list of .bst files.

I do this stuff a lot. I have a Windows Explorer icon on my desktop.
Start-->All Program-->Accessories-->rt-click on Windows Explorer
and choose Send To and put a shortcut on the desktop.

But since I already have that in place it would take less than a
minute to open two instances of Windows Explorer, minimized,
one open to Program Files and the other open to C:\
Then it is just drag and drop progra~1\lyx to c:\lyx

It is just as easy to drag it back. The time consuming part is
changing the Path statement to include c:\lyx\lyx\bin and Resources.
Then I always reboot to be on the safe side so it takes about 5 minutes.

I perfected this because I would sometimes install those tar files
at the wrong level and have to move them down or around a level.
I thought this was a good trick to share for other occasions as I
see that Angus has already produced a patch for you.

When a .lyx document is viewed, for instance by postscript, gsview32
can navigate to the directory where the new viewable version is created.
It is about six directories deep and thru two directories with spaces.
When I tried this with a ghostscript Linux port, the program closed down.
But the port can read c:\lyx\lyx\bin\tmp where tmpbuf files are now
created after I messed with the Path in Lyx --> Edit -->Preferences-->Path

These are a few of my favorite quirks,
