SimpleCV: a new packaging for the cv class
Hello, I finally decided to do what is needed to have the cv class distributed on CTAN (and thus hopefully most TeX distributions). Since the name cv.cls is already taken, I decided to use simplecv.cls. The new package contains proper documentation generated from a dtx file (combined source+documentation). This is mostly what I intend to upload to CTAN (although the .layout file for LyX would be packaged with LyX only). I would appreciate all input before I send this. The question then is to know what to do on the LyX side. For 1.4, I propose to add simplecv.layout alongside with cv.layout. For 1.5, I am not sure what the best strategy is. Maybe do the same, and remove cv.layout in 1.6. Thoughts welcome. The thing is here: http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~lasgoutt/lyx/simplecv-1.6test.tar.gz JMarc
Wide tables with smaller than scriptsize letters

Re: Page numbering and empty pages
Christian Richter schrieb: I am writing a document with Lyx 1.4.3 using documentclass: book (koma-script, double pages).

found two bugs?
Recently, after editing a fairly large document, when i close Lyx (at least) after i have exported this document to pdf when lyx was running using pdflatex, i get a crash. When i just start lyx, open the document and close it again, this does not seem to happen. I cannot copy/paste the error message, so i made screenshots, which i put at http://pieter.student.utwente.nl/lyx/ It's not much of a problem, Lyx saves my document just fine, but it's a bit annoying. I use Lyx 1.4.4 on windows. This was present before and after i deleted the lyxrc.dist file, as discussed in a different topic, and seems completely unrelated to this. What could this be? And number two: when in windows vista 64-bits i first log in locally, then go to another computer and log in using remote desktop, Lyx seems to stop responding, at 100% CPU usage. the only option then is to close Lyx.

Re: Decrease vertical space between subfigures
Bernhard Gollas schrieb:
Is there a way of decreasing the vertical space between subfigures
(above and below subfigurecaptions) in a float? I am using LyX 1.4.2.
You can change this by redefining the lengths given in section 2.4 in the documentation of the
LaTeX-package subfigure.
Redefining is done in the document preamble like this:
\setlength{\subfigtopskip}{1cm}
Have look in the EmbeddedObjects manual that comes with LyX 1.4.4 to lern more about caption

I have more of a latex question but I'm hoping that somebody would
know the answer.
I'm using Lyx 1.4.3 on Windows XP. The document I'm writing is in Book
class.
I'm writing a large document with a few chapters, sections and
appendices. What I would like is to have a chapter name, section name
or appendix name appear on the top of the page.
For example if the current page is from Chapter 1 Title of chapter 1
then on the top of the pages in this chapter I'd like to see 1 Title
of chapter 1. As soon the reader reaches Section 1.1 Title of
section 1.1 the header would change to 1.1 Title of section 1.1
I'd like appendices to be handled like chapters. BTW to create
appendix I have in ERT \appendix and then all subsequent chapters
become appendices.
I found the following code:
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
What follows marks only the left-hand (odd) pages, and does nothing if
you're using single-sided.
\markboth{\chaptername
\ \thechapter.\ #1}{}}
So you probably want either:*
*\markboth{\chaptername\ \thechapter.\ #1}{\chaptername\
\thechapter.\ #1}}
if you're doing double-sided, or:
\markright{\chaptername\ \thechapter.\ #1}
if you're not.

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % remove lines as well
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}}
which does put the section names in the header but it does not put
chapter names nor appendix names in the header. How can I modify this
to include chapter names in the headers?

Re: Help with fancyhdr
It looks like in book.cls, anyway, you can replace \chaptername with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] You will need to surround the code with
\makeatletter
YOUR CODE HERE
\makeatother
I think. You may also run into a problem if you have chapters after your
appendix. If you do have a problem, just put:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in ERT before your next chapter. That'll
need the same surrounding, too.

EPS file within EPS file lost in LyX output to pdf format, but displays perfectly in GhostView
Hello, I'm using LyX 1.4.4 (default LyXWinInstaller) to prepare my thesis. The thesis includes several encapsulated post-script (EPS) maps inserted within image floats. These EPS files make use of the postscript 'run' command ( http://www.capcode.de/help/run) in order to include a topography.txt file containing postscript code for topography lines as essentially a topography 'layer' on the map. Upon using LyX to convert my thesis to a pdf, the code for topography.txt included within the EPS figures is clearly not being displayed in the resulting pdf. Meanwhile, the EPS maps display properly (and with no error messages) in GhostView, which does interpret the command (topography.txt) run as expected. If I copy and paste the topography.txt code into one of the maps, then it works just fine in the pdf conversion by LyX (confirming to me that the postscript code is well formatted), but I'd much rather find a way to get LyX to interpret the postscript 'run' command, so as to be able to better manage the different layers in my maps. Thanks for any help/advice, Ariel.

Using TeX in the preamble, you could do any size you want (in text
mode). Here is an example LaTeX file that seems to do what is desired:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\def\supertiny{ \font\supertinyfont = cmr10 at 4pt \relax
\supertinyfont}
\begin{document}
Hello \tiny Guten Tag \supertiny Hello \normalsize Goodbye
\end{document}
Obviously, the \def ... goes into the LaTeX Preamble, and the
\supertiny command has to be entered as ERT. The size of the
supertiny font is 4pt as defined in the Preamble line, and you can
make it as small as you want!

Re: Math font size
sorry about the previous reply, i misunderstood what you wanted to do.
as jens suggested, use the DeclareMathSizes command in the preamble.
you'll need four sizes:
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5}
This assumes that the non-math text is 12pt.
You'll get 10pt for the math-font, 7pt for script fonts and 5pt for
script script font sizes.
One visually good thing is to use a 10:7:5 ratio for the mf, sf, ssf
so scale appropriately.

Your settings are correct, however I just discovered that the official cygwin version of LyX (the X11 version) has been built with the lyxpipe functionality disabled. Most probably the build system used did not define HAVE_MKFIFO, so stub functions were used (the lyxserver works, though). Please try installing this version: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-1.4.4-cygwin.tar.gz this is fully functional and you can install it in parallel with the official version. Unpack the archive and read the README file for installation instructions. -- Enrico

Thanks, Bob. I am needing a size even smaller than tiny.
I'm unaware of any smaller sizing. The default document font
size
controls
how small tiny is. If you set the default font smaller then tiny
would
decrease also.
Using TeX in the preamble, you could do any size you want (in text
mode). Here is an example LaTeX file that seems to do what is
desired:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\def\supertiny{ \font\supertinyfont = cmr10 at 4pt \relax
\supertinyfont}
\begin{document}
Hello \tiny Guten Tag \supertiny Hello \normalsize Goodbye
\end{document}
Obviously, the \def ... goes into the LaTeX Preamble, and the
\supertiny command has to be entered as ERT. The size of the
supertiny font is 4pt as defined in the Preamble line, and you can
make it as small as you want!
Thanks, Jens. In case one works with Mathpazo fonts, one should
replace cmr10 by what?
I think it would be either zpplcmr, pplr, or fplmr instead of cmr10.
Maybe a font expert can correct me if I'm wrong...
None works. And I have
$ locate mathpazo

Maybe this is another misunderstanding: are you trying to do this in
text mode or in an equation environment? Anyway, I just tried
something with mathpazo that works in equations:
$$
\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont\sin\alpha

produces a super tiny sine of alpha.
Regarding my earlier solution, it works for me... to see what's wrong

What is the font size you chose in the LyX Document settings? If it's
not 12pt, the above by ittself won't work. To cover all the bases,
you can put in multiple declarations like
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{18}{12}{10}
\DeclareMathSizes{11}{18}{12}{10}
\DeclareMathSizes{10}{18}{12}{10}
What counts is that the first argument in one of these lines must be
the text font size of your document, as chosen in the Settings
dialog. You'll have to play with the math sizes yourself, it's a
matter of taste.
Jens
Re: Math font size
I am trying to get all the math in my document appear larger in the PDF
output. The \DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5} didnt change anything with
the math font.
So try:
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{12}{9}{7}
The last three numbers are setting the different math sizes when your
font size is 12. If your font size isn't 12 but is, say, 11 (it goes to
11), then you'll need to try e.g.
\DeclareMathSizes{11}{11}{8}{6}
And you may want to put some other ones in, too, as footnotes are
typically set in a smaller font size, and if you want the math there (if
there is math there) to be set in a different size, you'll need a
special command for that, too. Experimenting is probably the way to go here.

SimpleCV: a new packaging for the cv class
Hello, I finally decided to do what is needed to have the cv class distributed on CTAN (and thus hopefully most TeX distributions). Since the name cv.cls is already taken, I decided to use simplecv.cls. The new package contains proper documentation generated from a dtx file (combined source+documentation). This is mostly what I intend to upload to CTAN (although the .layout file for LyX would be packaged with LyX only). I would appreciate all input before I send this. The question then is to know what to do on the LyX side. For 1.4, I propose to add simplecv.layout alongside with cv.layout. For 1.5, I am not sure what the best strategy is. Maybe do the same, and remove cv.layout in 1.6. Thoughts welcome. The thing is here: http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~lasgoutt/lyx/simplecv-1.6test.tar.gz JMarc

You can change this by redefining the lengths given in section 2.4 in the documentation of the

know the answer.
I'm using Lyx 1.4.3 on Windows XP. The document I'm writing is in Book

I'm writing a large document with a few chapters, sections and
appendices. What I would like is to have a chapter name, section name
or appendix name appear on the top of the page.
For example if the current page is from Chapter 1 Title of chapter 1
then on the top of the pages in this chapter I'd like to see 1 Title
of chapter 1. As soon the reader reaches Section 1.1 Title of
section 1.1 the header would change to 1.1 Title of section 1.1
I'd like appendices to be handled like chapters. BTW to create
appendix I have in ERT \appendix and then all subsequent chapters
become appendices.
I found the following code:
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}

Re: Help with fancyhdr
It looks like in book.cls, anyway, you can replace \chaptername with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] You will need to surround the code with
\makeatletter
YOUR CODE HERE
\makeatother
I think. You may also run into a problem if you have chapters after your
appendix. If you do have a problem, just put:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in ERT before your next chapter. That'll
need the same surrounding, too.

Hello
I have more of a latex question but I'm hoping that somebody would
know the answer.
I'm using Lyx 1.4.3 on Windows XP. The document I'm writing is in Book
class.
I'm writing a large document with a few chapters, sections and
appendices. What I would like is to have a chapter name, section name
or appendix name appear on the top of the page.
For example if the current page is from Chapter 1 Title of chapter 1
then on the top of the pages in this chapter I'd like to see 1 Title
of chapter 1. As soon the reader reaches Section 1.1 Title of
section 1.1 the header would change to 1.1 Title of section 1.1
I'd like appendices to be handled like chapters. BTW to create
appendix I have in ERT \appendix and then all subsequent chapters
become appendices.
I found the following code:
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
What follows marks only the left-hand (odd) pages, and does nothing if
you're using single-sided.
\markboth{\chaptername
\ \thechapter.\ #1}{}}
So you probably want either:*

EPS file within EPS file lost in LyX output to pdf format, but displays perfectly in GhostView
Hello, I'm using LyX 1.4.4 (default LyXWinInstaller) to prepare my thesis. The thesis includes several encapsulated post-script (EPS) maps inserted within image floats. These EPS files make use of the postscript 'run' command ( http://www.capcode.de/help/run) in order to include a topography.txt file containing postscript code for topography lines as essentially a topography 'layer' on the map. Upon using LyX to convert my thesis to a pdf, the code for topography.txt included within the EPS figures is clearly not being displayed in the resulting pdf. Meanwhile, the EPS maps display properly (and with no error messages) in GhostView, which does interpret the command (topography.txt) run as expected. If I copy and paste the topography.txt code into one of the maps, then it works just fine in the pdf conversion by LyX (confirming to me that the postscript code is well formatted), but I'd much rather find a way to get LyX to interpret the postscript 'run' command, so as to be able to better manage the different layers in my maps. Thanks for any help/advice, Ariel.

Using TeX in the preamble, you could do any size you want (in text

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\def\supertiny{ \font\supertinyfont = cmr10 at 4pt \relax
\supertinyfont}
\begin{document}
Hello \tiny Guten Tag \supertiny Hello \normalsize Goodbye
\end{document}
Obviously, the \def ... goes into the LaTeX Preamble, and the
\supertiny command has to be entered as ERT. The size of the
supertiny font is 4pt as defined in the Preamble line, and you can
make it as small as you want!

Re: Math font size
sorry about the previous reply, i misunderstood what you wanted to do.
as jens suggested, use the DeclareMathSizes command in the preamble.
you'll need four sizes:
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5}
This assumes that the non-math text is 12pt.
You'll get 10pt for the math-font, 7pt for script fonts and 5pt for
script script font sizes.
One visually good thing is to use a 10:7:5 ratio for the mf, sf, ssf
so scale appropriately.

produces a super tiny sine of alpha.

Maybe this is another misunderstanding: are you trying to do this
in text mode or in an equation environment? Anyway, I just tried
something with mathpazo that works in equations:
$$
\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont\sin\alpha
$$
produces a super tiny sine of alpha.
Regarding my earlier solution, it works for me... to see what's
wrong on your side one would need an example. But maybe this
alternative solution is what you really want.
Jens
Correcting myself:
in a math equation, the font selection needs to be enclosed in an \mbox.
Here is a complete document that works as advertised. And it does NOT
work properly if I comment out mathpazo!
Jens
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\begin{document}
With or without displaystyle:
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{4}{6}\selectfont $\sin\alpha\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{4}{5}\selectfont $\displaystyle\sin\alpha\frac{1}
{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
$$
\mbox{\fontsize{2}{3}\selectfont $\displaystyle\sin\alpha\frac{1}
{\frac{1}{3}}$}
$$
\tiny For comparison, this is typed in tiny.
\normalsize Back to normal
\fontsize{2}{3}\selectfont If you can read this, you're using the
zoom function. Or you're not using mathpazo.
\end{document}

What is the font size you chose in the LyX Document settings? If it's
not 12pt, the above by ittself won't work. To cover all the bases,
you can put in multiple declarations like
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{18}{12}{10}
\DeclareMathSizes{11}{18}{12}{10}
\DeclareMathSizes{10}{18}{12}{10}
What counts is that the first argument in one of these lines must be
the text font size of your document, as chosen in the Settings
dialog. You'll have to play with the math sizes yourself, it's a
matter of taste.
Jens
Re: Math font size
I am trying to get all the math in my document appear larger in the PDF
output. The \DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5} didnt change anything with
the math font.
So try:
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{12}{9}{7}
The last three numbers are setting the different math sizes when your
font size is 12. If your font size isn't 12 but is, say, 11 (it goes to
11), then you'll need to try e.g.
\DeclareMathSizes{11}{11}{8}{6}
And you may want to put some other ones in, too, as footnotes are
typically set in a smaller font size, and if you want the math there (if
there is math there) to be set in a different size, you'll need a
special command for that, too. Experimenting is probably the way to go here.

SimpleCV: a new packaging for the cv class
Hello, I finally decided to do what is needed to have the cv class distributed on CTAN (and thus hopefully most TeX distributions). Since the name cv.cls is already taken, I decided to use simplecv.cls. The new package contains proper documentation generated from a dtx file (combined source+documentation). This is mostly what I intend to upload to CTAN (although the .layout file for LyX would be packaged with LyX only). I would appreciate all input before I send this. The question then is to know what to do on the LyX side. For 1.4, I propose to add simplecv.layout alongside with cv.layout. For 1.5, I am not sure what the best strategy is. Maybe do the same, and remove cv.layout in 1.6. Thoughts welcome. The thing is here: http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~lasgoutt/lyx/simplecv-1.6test.tar.gz JMarc

When i just start lyx, open the document and close it again, this does not seem to happen. I cannot copy/paste the error message, so i made screenshots, which i put at http://pieter.student.utwente.nl/lyx/ It's not much of a problem, Lyx saves my document just fine, but it's a bit annoying. I use Lyx 1.4.4 on windows. This was present before and after i deleted the lyxrc.dist file, as discussed in a different topic, and seems completely unrelated to this. What could this be? And number two: when in windows vista 64-bits i first log in locally, then go to another computer and log in using remote desktop, Lyx seems to stop responding, at 100% CPU usage. the only option then is to close Lyx.

You can change this by redefining the lengths given in section 2.4 in the documentation of the

Redefining is done in the document preamble like this:

I'd like appendices to be handled like chapters. BTW to create
appendix I have in ERT \appendix and then all subsequent chapters
become appendices.
I found the following code:
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
What follows marks only the left-hand (odd) pages, and does nothing if
you're using single-sided.
\markboth{\chaptername
\ \thechapter.\ #1}{}}
So you probably want either:*

It looks like in book.cls, anyway, you can replace \chaptername with

I think. You may also run into a problem if you have chapters after your

EPS file within EPS file lost in LyX output to pdf format, but displays perfectly in GhostView
Hello, I'm using LyX 1.4.4 (default LyXWinInstaller) to prepare my thesis. The thesis includes several encapsulated post-script (EPS) maps inserted within image floats. These EPS files make use of the postscript 'run' command ( http://www.capcode.de/help/run) in order to include a topography.txt file containing postscript code for topography lines as essentially a topography 'layer' on the map. Upon using LyX to convert my thesis to a pdf, the code for topography.txt included within the EPS figures is clearly not being displayed in the resulting pdf. Meanwhile, the EPS maps display properly (and with no error messages) in GhostView, which does interpret the command "(topography.txt) run" as expected. If I copy and paste the topography.txt code into one of the maps, then it works just fine in the pdf conversion by LyX (confirming to me that the postscript code is well formatted), but I'd much rather find a way to get LyX to interpret the postscript 'run' command, so as to be able to better manage the different layers in my maps. Thanks for any help/advice, Ariel.

I'm unaware of any smaller sizing. The default document font size

how small tiny is. If you set the default font smaller then tiny would
decrease also.

Using TeX in the preamble, you could do any size you want (in text
mode). Here is an example LaTeX file that seems to do what is desired:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\def\supertiny{ \font\supertinyfont = cmr10 at 4pt \relax
\supertinyfont}
\begin{document}
Hello \tiny Guten Tag \supertiny Hello \normalsize Goodbye
\end{document}
Obviously, the \def ... goes into the LaTeX Preamble, and the
\supertiny command has to be entered as ERT. The size of the
supertiny font is 4pt as defined in the Preamble line, and you can
make it as small as you want!

Using TeX in the preamble, you could do any size you want (in text
mode). Here is an example LaTeX file that seems to do what is desired:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\def\supertiny{ \font\supertinyfont = cmr10 at 4pt \relax
\supertinyfont}
\begin{document}
Hello \tiny Guten Tag \supertiny Hello \normalsize Goodbye
\end{document}
Obviously, the \def ... goes into the LaTeX Preamble, and the
\supertiny command has to be entered as ERT. The size of the
supertiny font is 4pt as defined in the Preamble line, and you can
make it as small as you want!
Thanks, Jens. In case one works with Mathpazo fonts, one should
replace cmr10 by what?

I think it would be either zpplcmr, pplr, or fplmr instead of cmr10.
Maybe a font expert can correct me if I'm wrong...

Hi, sorry to not clarify.. Yes, when I input the text in Lyx it is fine
and I can read it. But when I output the PDF, it is much much smaller
and its hard to see. I looked at the link provided, but am not clear on
what to do. I need to use the \DeclareMathSizes {x}
in my preamble? And that will make the output math text size x? This is
a rather long document(thesis) so zooming in and changing that would
alter figures which are set to a specific size etc so I would rather not
go that route if possible...
Thanks!

None works. And I have
$ locate mathpazo
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmb.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmbb.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmbi.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmr.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/mathpazo/fplmri.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/psnfss/mathpazo.sty

Re: Math font size
sorry about the previous reply, i misunderstood what you wanted to do.
as jens suggested, use the DeclareMathSizes command in the preamble.
you'll need four sizes:
\DeclareMathSizes{12}{10}{7}{5}
This assumes that the non-math text is 12pt.
You'll get 10pt for the math-font, 7pt for script fonts and 5pt for
script script font sizes.
One visually good thing is to use a 10:7:5 ratio for the mf, sf, ssf
so scale appropriately.

Yes, it wasn't clear what he means, but I'm guessing he wants a
larger font in the _output_ file (PDF). How about the following
method:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=mathsize
You should modify the \DeclareMathSizes command so that its first
argument is the document's text size, and the other arguments give
the desired math size.
