Subject: blank images in preview (Lyx 1.3.7, MacOSX 10.4.4)



The problem is that although I can see the included images
in the LyX screen, I cannot see the images when I select
View -- PDF (pdflatex). I can't even get Preview to show
anything if I pick the other two options (dvidpdm and 'ps to pdf').
With pdflatex, the PDF comes up, the text is there, but the images
are not. The space they should occupy is just blank.
I get the same behaviour with TeXshop after I convert my LyX to
laTeX, so I'm guessing I have something misconfigured somewhere,
but WHAT???




I use Windows but you should have a similar file, sample.tex, which
is located in ~/texmf/doc/dvipdfm. I use this file to test images since
it has .eps and .jpg file formats. pdflatex and dvipdfm don't always
display the same behavior. For example, dvipdfm will convert the
sample.lyx file into viewable .pdf, but pdflatex (6 errors) will not.

1.3.4 is fairly old and maybe some older version of a file was
used in your tetex version-- has tetex been upgraded? If so, a
file version for rendering your .lyx files may have been changed.

Anyway, I'll present what I think is the simples to fix idea. The
viewer may have changed, if you have made changes to your
system. Edit-Preferences-File formats

My best guess for an immediate solution, is to download
Acrobat Reader 7.0 and make it the default viewer (acrord~) for
the three .pdf file formats. Earlier version Readers caused some
Linux problems, so this is the best, quick idea I can think of.

Different topics which may have some relevance.

I suspect that this may have something to do with file paths with spaces.

all these work on the same Lyx file under Lyxwin 135.

In teTeX 1.0 you obtain the same error but with 1.4 replaced by 1.2.
This means that when you include an eps file in LyX and do View-PDF 
(pdflatex) it succeeds with teTeX 2.0 but fails with teTeX 1.0 if ps2pdf13

is used.

http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~van/GI2005/giformat.htm
If you are generating DVI (i.e. you are using the [dvips] option) then
latex will search for EPS files rather than PNG, JPEG and PDF files for
images. Even in this case it is best to leave off the suffix when you
include images, so you don't have to change your source other than the
option on the \usepackage{graphics} line in the preamble.

This is a known problem. See http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi? 
id=2127. I've done some more investigating and reported the results 
there. Please add to the bug report any comments you might have that 
differ from what is already reported.


The workaround for me is to use View - PDF (ps to pdf) rather than 
 View - PDF (pdflatex) or View - dvipdfm. Or you could export to  latex, 
and run latex (or pdflatex) manually from the terminal.


Bennett




I used the TexLive2005 cd to test the Windows version found
in /Win32. I think the error I experienced and the fix may be
related to the bug filed on this issue, 2127.

Dan Luecking replied:

The (dvipdfm problem) never hit me because I always convert eps
to pdf manually, using tools that produce PDF version 1.3 or less.

The eps to pdf conversion does fail out of the box, but that seems to
be because dvipdfm can't take PDF higher than version 1.3. One needs
to change the config file so that the eps to pdf conversion process
(the line beginning with D) produces version 1.3 or lower. I use
 D epstopdf --outfile=%o --nocompress %i
in config and edit epstopdf.pl (which produces 1.4 by default on my
system). Instead of editing epstopdf.pl, one could
 set GS_OPTIONS=-dCompatibilityLevel=1.2
on the command line or use a gs command in config that sets the level:
 D gswin32c.exe -q -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dUseFlateCompression=true -dNOPAUSE
-sOutputFile=%o %i -c quit
(all on one line). Problems can occur out of the box because the
out-of-the-box config file has incorrect quoting for windows. The
config-win provided (copy it to config) uses epstopdf. Using dvipdfm's
-vv option quickly showed me where the problem lied (in the pdf
version produced by epstopdf).

I remove quoting around the file names (%o and %i) in config's D
option, and never use filenames or paths with spaces in them.

right-click vs. double-click

[Nusret BALCI]

Hi,
I want to change the following lyx behaviour:
When I right click within a math inset, the math panel
shows up. Although I use the math panel from time to
time, I prefer a context menu with copy, save, etc.
when i right click, and math pane when I double-click.

My question is: (for windows, qt frontend)
what file and part of code is responsible for this
behavior? I'll try to change this for my own copy. I
would appreciate if someone could help me just
pointing to the relevant part of the code.

Would building up a lexikon.tex of words/abbreviations you use be more 
trouble than you are looking for? Juergen suggested[1] that it could be done 
to keep some words from being broken up or to have them broken correctly, And 
G. Milde suggested[2] that \sloppy might reduce hyphenation for small words.
Paul A. Rubin suggested[3] setting \tolerance and \emergencystretch to deal 
with them.


And of course there is the ever helpful TeXnik site's[4] advice.

I think your problems will go away if you turn to left justification.
\raggedright{} in ERT somewhere in the beginning of the document or in the 
preamble.
Since you have so many long words that can't be hypenated, you can not expect 
latex to manage to make the text justified.

Re: word-wrap and itemize

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Thank you Todd and Johan for the further ideas.

I think in my case, I don't want hyphenation, but I want latex to 
automatically wrap the word going into the margin to the next line AND 
justify the line to make up for the moved word.

I have been reading about \tolerance and \emergencystretch but can't seem 
to find good explanations. I tried \tolerance with from 50 to 250 but 
didn't see differences yet. I also don't know if the \emergencystretch is 
used on a case-by-case basis or for preamble.

Here is another example sentence:

  This assigns packets belonging to SSH login connections to the 
  ssh_login queue and packets belonging to SCP and SFTP connections to the
  ssh_bulk queue.

On my 6 inch wide page, the ssh_login goes out into the right margin. So 
I manually put in a \linefeed before it. Now my resulting output has a 
blank area after ... to the (which I do not want) and the ssh_login in 
on the next line (which I do want).

I want to continue using justification. I want latex to know that the line 
is too long and simply wrap the word that it didn't hyphenate and then 
attempt to right justify the line that lost the word.

Will \tolerance or \emergencystretch work with that?

And what is the difference between
\emergencystretch=2em
and
\setlength{\emergencystretch}{2em}
?

But unlike many other systems, (La)TeX evaluates the quality of its
output.  Penalties are given when lines have to be streached too much,
and when reaching a specific badness TeX will simply refuse to
typeset the line.

 This also happens in regular Standard text too, where I have

Try using the url package -- it is designed to break long stuff like
URLs at good places, such as after a slash.  It works nicely for file-
and variablenames (of the form $foo_bar_baz) too.

Style/Grammar Checker (v0.3d) for LyX availiable.

[John McCabe-Dansted]

I have put up a new version (v0.3d) of a Perl script that provides Grammar
Checking support within LyX's GUI. This version now formats the errors
to make them easier to read.

If you are interested in automatically checking your documents for
various errors, see:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tools/LyX-GrammarChecker

If you have any troubles getting it to work, or have any other
comments, please email me.

It seems be quite simple to use under Linux and MacOSX. I haven't
tested it under Windows but it should just work if you are using
Cygwin. I'd be interested to know if it actually does works with
Cygwin.

The problem is that although I can see the included images

I use Windows but you should have a similar file, sample.tex, which
is located in ~/texmf/doc/dvipdfm. I use this file to test images since
it has .eps and .jpg file formats. pdflatex and dvipdfm don't always
display the same behavior. For example, dvipdfm will convert the
sample.lyx file into viewable .pdf, but pdflatex (6 errors) will not.

1.3.4 is fairly old and maybe some older version of a file was
used in your tetex version-- has tetex been upgraded? If so, a
file version for rendering your .lyx files may have been changed.

Anyway, I'll present what I think is the simples to fix idea. The
viewer may have changed, if you have made changes to your
system. Edit-Preferences-File formats

My best guess for an immediate solution, is to download
Acrobat Reader 7.0 and make it the default viewer (acrord~) for
the three .pdf file formats. Earlier version Readers caused some
Linux problems, so this is the best, quick idea I can think of.

Different topics which may have some relevance.

In teTeX 1.0 you obtain the same error but with 1.4 replaced by 1.2.
This means that when you include an eps file in LyX and do View-PDF 
(pdflatex) it succeeds with teTeX 2.0 but fails with teTeX 1.0 if ps2pdf13

is used.

http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~van/GI2005/giformat.htm
If you are generating DVI (i.e. you are using the [dvips] option) then
latex will search for EPS files rather than PNG, JPEG and PDF files for
images. Even in this case it is best to leave off the suffix when you
include images, so you don't have to change your source other than the
option on the \usepackage{graphics} line in the preamble.

This is a known problem. See http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi? 
id=2127. I've done some more investigating and reported the results 
there. Please add to the bug report any comments you might have that 
differ from what is already reported.


The workaround for me is to use View - PDF (ps to pdf) rather than 
 View - PDF (pdflatex) or View - dvipdfm. Or you could export to  latex, 
and run latex (or pdflatex) manually from the terminal.

I used the TexLive2005 cd to test the Windows version found

Dan Luecking replied:

The (dvipdfm problem) never hit me because I always convert eps
to pdf manually, using tools that produce PDF version 1.3 or less.

The eps to pdf conversion does fail out of the box, but that seems to
be because dvipdfm can't take PDF higher than version 1.3. One needs
to change the config file so that the eps to pdf conversion process
(the line beginning with D) produces version 1.3 or lower. I use
 D epstopdf --outfile=%o --nocompress %i
in config and edit epstopdf.pl (which produces 1.4 by default on my
system). Instead of editing epstopdf.pl, one could
 set GS_OPTIONS=-dCompatibilityLevel=1.2
on the command line or use a gs command in config that sets the level:
 D gswin32c.exe -q -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dUseFlateCompression=true -dNOPAUSE
-sOutputFile=%o %i -c quit
(all on one line). Problems can occur out of the box because the
out-of-the-box config file has incorrect quoting for windows. The
config-win provided (copy it to config) uses epstopdf. Using dvipdfm's
-vv option quickly showed me where the problem lied (in the pdf
version produced by epstopdf).

I remove quoting around the file names (%o and %i) in config's D
option, and never use filenames or paths with spaces in them.

Would building up a lexikon.tex of words/abbreviations you use be more

I think your problems will go away if you turn to left justification.
\raggedright{} in ERT somewhere in the beginning of the document or in the 
preamble.
Since you have so many long words that can't be hypenated, you can not expect 
latex to manage to make the text justified.

Re: word-wrap and itemize

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Thank you Todd and Johan for the further ideas.

I think in my case, I don't want hyphenation, but I want latex to 
automatically wrap the word going into the margin to the next line AND 
justify the line to make up for the moved word.

I have been reading about \tolerance and \emergencystretch but can't seem 
to find good explanations. I tried \tolerance with from 50 to 250 but 
didn't see differences yet. I also don't know if the \emergencystretch is 
used on a case-by-case basis or for preamble.

Here is another example sentence:

  This assigns packets belonging to SSH login connections to the 
  ssh_login queue and packets belonging to SCP and SFTP connections to the
  ssh_bulk queue.

On my 6 inch wide page, the ssh_login goes out into the right margin. So 
I manually put in a \linefeed before it. Now my resulting output has a 
blank area after ... to the (which I do not want) and the ssh_login in 
on the next line (which I do want).

I want to continue using justification. I want latex to know that the line 
is too long and simply wrap the word that it didn't hyphenate and then 
attempt to right justify the line that lost the word.

Will \tolerance or \emergencystretch work with that?

And what is the difference between
\emergencystretch=2em
and
\setlength{\emergencystretch}{2em}
?

But unlike many other systems, (La)TeX evaluates the quality of its
output.  Penalties are given when lines have to be streached too much,
and when reaching a specific badness TeX will simply refuse to
typeset the line.

 This also happens in regular Standard text too, where I have

Try using the url package -- it is designed to break long stuff like
URLs at good places, such as after a slash.  It works nicely for file-
and variablenames (of the form $foo_bar_baz) too.

Did you run the LyX installer script from the installer volume? That

Yes

and it should give you a path to that file's location.)

Style/Grammar Checker (v0.3d) for LyX availiable.

[John McCabe-Dansted]

I have put up a new version (v0.3d) of a Perl script that provides Grammar
Checking support within LyX's GUI. This version now formats the errors
to make them easier to read.

If you are interested in automatically checking your documents for
various errors, see:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tools/LyX-GrammarChecker

If you have any troubles getting it to work, or have any other
comments, please email me.

It seems be quite simple to use under Linux and MacOSX. I haven't
tested it under Windows but it should just work if you are using
Cygwin. I'd be interested to know if it actually does works with
Cygwin.

The problem is that although I can see the included images

View --> PDF (pdflatex). I can't even get Preview to show
anything if I pick the other two options (dvidpdm and 'ps to pdf').
With pdflatex, the PDF comes up, the text is there, but the images
are not. The space they should occupy is just blank.
I get the same behaviour with TeXshop after I convert my LyX to
laTeX, so I'm guessing I have something misconfigured somewhere,
but WHAT???




I use Windows but you should have a similar file, sample.tex, which
is located in ~/texmf/doc/dvipdfm. I use this file to test images since
it has .eps and .jpg file formats. pdflatex and dvipdfm don't always
display the same behavior. For example, dvipdfm will convert the
sample.lyx file into viewable .pdf, but pdflatex (6 errors) will not.

1.3.4 is fairly old and maybe some older version of a file was
used in your tetex version-- has tetex been upgraded? If so, a
file version for rendering your .lyx files may have been changed.

Anyway, I'll present what I think is the simples to fix idea. The
viewer may have changed, if you have made changes to your
system. Edit->Preferences->File formats

My best guess for an immediate solution, is to download
Acrobat Reader 7.0 and make it the default viewer (acrord~) for
the three .pdf file formats. Earlier version Readers caused some
Linux problems, so this is the best, quick idea I can think of.

I get the same behaviour with TeXshop after I convert my LyX to

This is a known problem. See . I've done some more investigating and reported the results 
there. Please add to the bug report any comments you might have that 
differ from what is already reported.


The workaround for me is to use View -> PDF (ps to pdf) rather than 
 View -> PDF (pdflatex) or View -> dvipdfm. Or you could export to  latex, 
and run latex (or pdflatex) manually from the terminal.

related to the bug filed on this issue, 2127.

"The (dvipdfm problem) never hit me because I always convert eps
to pdf manually, using tools that produce PDF version 1.3 or less.

The eps to pdf conversion does fail out of the box, but that seems to
be because dvipdfm can't take PDF higher than version 1.3. One needs
to change the config file so that the eps to pdf conversion process
(the line beginning with D) produces version 1.3 or lower. I use
 D "epstopdf --outfile=%o --nocompress %i"
in config and edit epstopdf.pl (which produces 1.4 by default on my
system). Instead of editing epstopdf.pl, one could
 set GS_OPTIONS=-dCompatibilityLevel=1.2
on the command line or use a gs command in config that sets the level:
 D "gswin32c.exe -q -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dUseFlateCompression=true -dNOPAUSE
-sOutputFile=%o %i -c quit"
(all on one line). Problems can occur "out of the box" because the
out-of-the-box config file has incorrect quoting for windows. The
config-win provided (copy it to config) uses epstopdf. Using dvipdfm's
-vv option quickly showed me where the problem lied (in the pdf
version produced by epstopdf).

I remove quoting around the file names (%o and %i) in config's D
option, and never use filenames or paths with spaces in them."

right-click vs. double-click

[Nusret BALCI]

Hi,
I want to change the following lyx behaviour:
When I right click within a math inset, the math panel
shows up. Although I use the math panel from time to
time, I prefer a context menu with copy, save, etc.
when i right click, and math pane when I double-click.

My question is: (for windows, qt frontend)
what file and part of code is responsible for this
behavior? I'll try to change this for my own copy. I
would appreciate if someone could help me just
pointing to the relevant part of the code.

Regards,
Nusret

Thanks for the link. I had read those threads, but no answer there.

An example of my problem is the words (with the punctuation):
(LAN_INET)
and 
(LAN_DMZ)

I don't want to hyphenate them. I don't want to manually add a \newline 
before them. I just want the latex magic to automatically move it to the 
next line and justify the line as needed.

This also happens in regular Standard text too, where I have "(TTL)", 
"(MSS)", MIB-like variables like net.inet.ip.porthilast and 
net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst, filenames (with backslashes) like 
/etc/authpf/authpf.allow, and words that start with a dollar sign (like 
$foo). These are all same font.

I have many, many lines like this. And adding a \newline or forcing 
hyphenation causes maintenance problems (as you mention) since I am 
updating content and later may change paper size.

Would building up a "lexikon.tex" of words/abbreviations you use be more 
trouble than you are looking for? Juergen suggested[1] that it could be done 
to keep some words from being broken up or to have them broken correctly, And 
G. Milde suggested[2] that \sloppy might reduce hyphenation for small words.
Paul A. Rubin suggested[3] setting \tolerance and \emergencystretch to deal 
with them.


And of course there is the ever helpful TeXnik site's[4] advice.

I think your problems will go away if you turn to left justification.
\raggedright{} in ERT somewhere in the beginning of the document or in the 
preamble.
Since you have so many long words that can't be hypenated, you can not expect 
latex to manage to make the text justified.

  This new version open correctly several files from 1.3.6 and
  1.3.7 but my main work, a long book, is not open. Appears
  an error mesage like: "lyx2lyx can´t convert this file".
  How I can solved this?

Re: word-wrap and itemize

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Thank you Todd and Johan for the further ideas.

I think in my case, I don't want hyphenation, but I want latex to 
automatically wrap the word going into the margin to the next line AND 
justify the line to make up for the moved word.

I have been reading about \tolerance and \emergencystretch but can't seem 
to find good explanations. I tried \tolerance with from 50 to 250 but 
didn't see differences yet. I also don't know if the \emergencystretch is 
used on a case-by-case basis or for preamble.

Here is another example sentence:

  This assigns packets belonging to SSH login connections to the 
  ssh_login queue and packets belonging to SCP and SFTP connections to the
  ssh_bulk queue.

On my 6 inch wide page, the "ssh_login" goes out into the right margin. So 
I manually put in a \linefeed before it. Now my resulting output has a 
blank area after "... to the" (which I do not want) and the "ssh_login" in 
on the next line (which I do want).

I want to continue using justification. I want latex to know that the line 
is too long and simply wrap the word that it didn't hyphenate and then 
attempt to right justify the line that lost the word.

Will \tolerance or \emergencystretch work with that?

And what is the difference between
\emergencystretch=2em
and
\setlength{\emergencystretch}{2em}
?

I tried over ten different \tolerance settings and I found that 
\tolerance=545 ended up working like I want.

But unlike many other systems, (La)TeX evaluates the quality of its
output.  Penalties are given when lines have to be streached too much,
and when reaching a specific "badness" TeX will simply refuse to
typeset the line.

Try using the url package -- it is designed to break long stuff like
URLs at good places, such as after a slash.  It works nicely for file-
and variablenames (of the form $foo_bar_baz) too.

  If you run lyx2lyx directly from the command line what is the error?

Christoph,

  I don't do buttons, but if you look in ~/.lyx/bind/ you'll find a 
couple of
files that define shortcut keys. In my case, ctrl-v is used to page down

Re: Mac Install Problems

[Ian Stevenson]

Dear Bennett,

Many thanks for the reply. From my reading of the outputs below the 
install looks OK what do you make of it? Any further suggestions?  
Thanks for your help!


Did you run the LyX installer script from the installer volume? That 
should tell you if you have a teTeX installation.


Yes


(To be sure, you can go to the Terminal and enter "which pdflatex", 
and it should give you a path to that file's location.)


Ian-Stevensons-Computer:~ ianstevenson$ which pdflatex
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex




The LyX User's folder is now located at ~/Library/Application 
Support/LyX. Running the installer script should move your old folder 
from ~/.lyx to this new location.


This folder is present.

Style/Grammar Checker (v0.3d) for LyX availiable.

[John McCabe-Dansted]

I have put up a new version (v0.3d) of a Perl script that provides Grammar
Checking support within LyX's GUI. This version now formats the errors
to make them easier to read.

If you are interested in automatically checking your documents for
various errors, see:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tools/LyX-GrammarChecker

If you have any troubles getting it to work, or have any other
comments, please email me.

It seems be quite simple to use under Linux and MacOSX. I haven't
tested it under Windows but it should "just work" if you are using
Cygwin. I'd be interested to know if it actually does works with
Cygwin.

does anyone know if
