Re: Simpler than beamer?
Thanks, Ingar. After having thought a bit deeper, I speculate whether beamer can make presentations without all those beautiful ornaments; I just want a white sheet to lay down my presentations. Am I right that beamer can do that? If so, what would be the sty file to use? If you were using powerdot, you'd just have to use the default style (style=simple class option) which doesn't use any ornament. Cheers, Mael. -- Mael Hilléreau
beamer-article layout
Hi Based on the beamer.layout i have made a beamer-article layout for LyX. The new layout makes a continuous text from your slides and saves on the number of pages needed to be printed. I put it in the wiki so that people can use it if they want to. http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/LaTeX-beamer Ingar --

Reducing size of LaTeX pictures
Dear All
I have the following picture inserted in a figure float:
\unitlength 1mm
\begin{picture}(80,40)(0,0)
\linethickness{0.2mm}
\put(0,0){\line(1,0){30}}
[snip]
\end{picture}
How can I reduce to 50% of its size, say, without having to redraw the
whole picture?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

LyX 1.4: Comment paragraph style missing?
Hi, I have been using LyX 1.4 for several weeks now, and find it a huge improvement. However, I just discovered that the Comment paragraph style is missing from the article (koma-script) document class. Is there a reason for this, or did something go wrong in my installation? (I am running this on Mac OS X). I did have a brief look at the layouts directory, but since I found nothing obvious and was afraid to mess things up, I thought I'd ask here for advice. Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello LyXers, under http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=9632 you can find a testversion of the LyX installer for Windows (version 1.9), the first one that comes with LyX 1.4. To learn more about the LyX installer for Windows, have a look at http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller +++ Warning! This is a testrelease, not ready for normal usage! +++ It installs a development snapshot from march 19 2006 (LyX 1.4.1svn). As soon as possible I'll provide a new installer version that will install the next stable LyX version 1.4.1. You can install LyX 1.4.1svn aditionally to LyX 1.3.7, that means you can test it with having a stable working LyX 1.3 release on your system. These problems are known: - LyX's menus are not localized (english is used) - all toolbar buttons are disabled after you opened a dialog, they are deactivated when you click in the text (see LyX's bug 2423) Here's the changelog: - this installer comes with the unstable LyX 1.4.1svn - LyX 1.4.1svn can be installed additionally to LyX 1.3.x - updated to aspell 0.60-4 - updated to imagemagick 6.2.6-8 - pdf images are now displayed in Lyx as in Adobe Reader (for more details see LyX's bug 2418) - LaTeX packages needed by beamer and powerdot will now automatically be installed when LyX is first configured -- LyX 1.4 needs aspell 0.60.4 for spellchecking, that means you have to install new dictionaries after you installed LyX 1.4.

LyX and XFig: brilliant
Dear LyXers, Perhaps this would be better posted on the devel list, but I just want to give a big THANK YOU to the coders of LyX, and the feature in the latest release to allow direct insertion of XFig figures with embedded LaTeX text. Not horribly long ago, I got used to inserting the text (in XFig), using the special flag, etc. But the ability to simply shove the .fig file into LyX directly, AND have rotation and scaling work correctly is GREAT. Can you tell I'm excited? Again, thank you. LyX is one open-source project I've donated (money, if not time) to, and will happily do so in the future. Sincerely, Curtis Osterhoudt

I think we can rule out both quick and easy. :-(
I'm shooting from the hip here -- haven't tried this, don't plan to --
but it might be possible to create a new environment type to replace the
itemize environment, using \fltitem in place of \item. You might define
the environment so that it temporarily redefines the \item command to
\fltitem and then invokes \begin{itemize} at the outset, and invokes
\end{itemize} followed by reverting \item to its original definition at
the end. (I'm fuzzy on how exactly to do this in LaTeX, but perhaps a
LaTeX guru could help.)
Assuming you can get the LaTeX code to work, the next step would be to
hack the stdlists.inc file in the LyX layouts directory. Clone the
itemize environment, rename the clone appropriately, change its
LatexName to match your new command, and stuff your LaTeX code in the
preamble section. With any kind of luck, that puts your new environment
on the environment list in most if not all document classes, and you
invoke it in lieu of itemize when you're in the mood to use floatflt
nearby. (You might also have to clone the enumerate environment similarly.)

What I do is follow these steps. 1. overlay a psgrid i.e. put an ert \psgrid somewhere at the bottom of the page 2. produce the pdf and look at the output to see the coordinates. 3. based on the coordinates in step 2, add the ert pstricks command to produce the lines in the appropriate locations. 4. remove the grid command Good luck. --- Paul Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear All I have a few tables in the same page, and I would like to add some arrows linking certain cells between different tables.

I think I will just need to work out what should be doing conversions on my system. (OSX) But for now the pdflatex output option seems to handle .png's just fine. So I'll just convert my graphics files for now until I have time to investigate furthur.

LyX and XFig: brilliant
Dear LyXers, Perhaps this would be better posted on the devel list, but I just want to give a big THANK YOU to the coders of LyX, and the feature in the latest release to allow direct insertion of XFig figures with embedded LaTeX text. Not horribly long ago, I got used to inserting the text (in XFig), using the special flag, etc. But the ability to simply shove the .fig file into LyX directly, AND have rotation and scaling work correctly is GREAT. Can you tell I'm excited? Again, thank you. LyX is one open-source project I've donated (money, if not time) to, and will happily do so in the future. Sincerely, Curtis Osterhoudt

I'm shooting from the hip here -- haven't tried this, don't plan to --
but it might be possible to create a new environment type to replace the
itemize environment, using \fltitem in place of \item. You might define
the environment so that it temporarily redefines the \item command to
\fltitem and then invokes \begin{itemize} at the outset, and invokes
\end{itemize} followed by reverting \item to its original definition at
the end. (I'm fuzzy on how exactly to do this in LaTeX, but perhaps a
LaTeX guru could help.)
Assuming you can get the LaTeX code to work, the next step would be to
hack the stdlists.inc file in the LyX layouts directory. Clone the
itemize environment, rename the clone appropriately, change its
LatexName to match your new command, and stuff your LaTeX code in the
preamble section. With any kind of luck, that puts your new environment
on the environment list in most if not all document classes, and you
invoke it in lieu of itemize when you're in the mood to use floatflt
nearby. (You might also have to clone the enumerate environment similarly.)

Thanks, Ingar. After having thought a bit deeper, I speculate whether
beamer can make presentations without all those beautiful ornaments; I
just want a white sheet to lay down my presentations. Am I right that
beamer can do that? If so, what would be the sty file to use?
If you were using powerdot, you'd just have to use the default style
("style=simple" class option) which doesn't use any ornament.

Reducing size of LaTeX pictures
Dear All
I have the following picture inserted in a figure float:
\unitlength 1mm
\begin{picture}(80,40)(0,0)
\linethickness{0.2mm}
\put(0,0){\line(1,0){30}}
[snip]
\end{picture}
How can I reduce to 50% of its size, say, without having to redraw the
whole picture?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

\unitlength 0.5mm does not work, as my picture has got text and the
text is not resized. I tried
\scalebox{0.5}{

You'll need to put

LyX 1.4: "Comment" paragraph style missing?
Hi, I have been using LyX 1.4 for several weeks now, and find it a huge improvement. However, I just discovered that the Comment paragraph style is missing from the article (koma-script) document class. Is there a reason for this, or did something go wrong in my installation? (I am running this on Mac OS X). I did have a brief look at the layouts directory, but since I found nothing obvious and was afraid to mess things up, I thought I'd ask here for advice. Any help greatly appreciated!

[announce] testversion 1.9 of LyXWinInstaller with LyX 1.4.1svn
Hello LyXers, under http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117_id=9632 you can find a testversion of the LyX installer for Windows (version 1.9), the first one that comes with LyX 1.4. To learn more about the LyX installer for Windows, have a look at http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller +++ Warning! This is a testrelease, not ready for normal usage! +++ It installs a development snapshot from march 19 2006 (LyX 1.4.1svn). As soon as possible I'll provide a new installer version that will install the next stable LyX version 1.4.1. You can install LyX 1.4.1svn aditionally to LyX 1.3.7, that means you can test it with having a stable working LyX 1.3 release on your system. These problems are known: - LyX's menus are not localized (english is used) - all toolbar buttons are disabled after you opened a dialog, they are deactivated when you click in the text (see LyX's bug 2423) Here's the changelog: - this installer comes with the unstable LyX 1.4.1svn - LyX 1.4.1svn can be installed additionally to LyX 1.3.x - updated to aspell 0.60-4 - updated to imagemagick 6.2.6-8 - pdf images are now displayed in Lyx as in Adobe Reader (for more details see LyX's bug 2418) - LaTeX packages needed by beamer and powerdot will now automatically be installed when LyX is first configured -- LyX 1.4 needs aspell 0.60.4 for spellchecking, that means you have to install new dictionaries after you installed LyX 1.4. You can download them from http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6 LyXWinInstaller comes with these additional features in comparison to the official release: - layout files for beamer and powerdot - slightly different toolbar, see http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface Please report every bug you found to the lyx-users list or directly to me. Thanks. best regards Uwe
