Re: Problem with PDF output with different pdf reader.
For users of Mac OS X 10.4.x, PDFview is a great application for this purpose. It integrates nicely with LaTeX and LyX, and you can easily configure it to automatically update the PDF output. With LyX, this means that -- you set PDFview with open -a pdfview as your viewer in LyX's preferences -- you click the checkbox in PDFview's preferences to automatically reload files that are updated on your harddisk -- and anytime now you choose View -- Update from your LyX document, -- you simply switch to PDFview, and the changes are right there. No reloading, no closing and opening, no pressing keys. PDFview is available from SourceForge at http://pdfview.sourceforge.net/index.html. -- Christian Helge Hafting wrote: On Fri, Jun 15, 2007 at 06:39:55AM -0500, Les Denham wrote: On Friday 15 June 2007 08:36, Helge Hafting wrote: Acrobat certainly isn't useless, but have some problems: Precisely why I use Acrobat Reader: I don't want to create a PDF which does not work properly with the reader most people use.

This library is installed by fink under /sw/lib but even after copying this library to /usr/lib lyx refuses to run. It would be nice if someone could explain what should run on OSX 10.2.9 I'm frankly not sure, since I haven't had 10.2 around to test on. But I believe the binaries for LyX-1.4 (and the forthcoming -1.5) will not work on 10.2. So I believe you'll have to use LyX-1.3. (I don't remember any reason why 1.3.7 wouldn't work on 10.2.) Your experience with LyX-1.4.x is what I'd expect: you need the precise version of the libiconv.2.dylib LyX was compiled with for it to work -- and that's the version that comes with 10.3. If you want to compile your own version, I believe LyX-1.4 will work on 10.2. FYI, I've read Qt4.3 will not support OSX 10.2 so 1.5 will for sure not be usable there. Abdel.

Re: latex listings - line breaking problem
Jakub Suder wrote:
Hi,
I'm writing my MSc thesis in Lyx, and today I installed 1.5.0rc1 and
tried to use code listings (I have lots of Java examples in my
thesis), but I've encountered a problem. I'm using a custom class from
my university - mgragh (I don't know if the list accepts attachments,
so I've put it here:
http://cassiopea.net.autocom.pl/public/mgragh.zip) and I've noticed
that this class prevents long lines from being broken inside a listing
block.
I have code like this (Lyx view source box):
\begingroup
\inputencoding{latin1}
\begin{lstlisting}[breaklines=true,showstringspaces=false]
(code fragment with long lines)
\end{lstlisting}
\endgroup
And the lines aren't broken, they just extend over the margin and are
cut eventually. When I paste the code into a new empty document using
article class, everything is ok, the lines are broken into parts.
Then if I change the document class to mgragh - it stops working.
Do you know what may be wrong? What should I change in the class to
make it compatible with listings?
Automatically breaking program listings is a very tricky business.
Usually, the automatic breaking isn't good, and can sometimes
even introduce syntax errors. (depending on the language in use.)
When I wrote a programming book, I wrote all the sample code
so that it wasn't too wide. Keep statements short, use
few levels of indentation, and break lines manually when this
isn't enough. Using short identifier names (one letter is often
enough, and avoid the wider uppercase ones.)
Setting code samples with a small narrow font helps too, if
all else fails.
Keeping the statements short and so on
is often an advantage anyway - the code gets easier to read.

Thanks

Valter,
I used the indexing just as an easy way to pick out the words in my document
which I want to put in the glossary.
There might be better ways, and certainly better informed people around!
This is the procedure:
1-Go through the document and put the cursor immediately behind the word you
want to use in the glossary. Press first alt_i, than d (a shortcut for
InsertIndex-Entry): This produces a grey box idx behind the selected item.
Clicking on it shows the content (note that you have to add by hand if the
item consists of e.g. two words -or you remove the space between the two
words before indexing and put it in again afterward (same in the idx-box).
2-Go to the place where your index (and later the glossary) should occur,
e.g. before the bibliography.
insertlist/TOCindex list
you won´t see anything in the index list yet.
3-export your file
fileexportlatex(plain)
run three times
latex yourDocument.tex
the output contains:
No file yourDocument .ind.
No file yourDocument.bbl.
but a file yourDocument.idx is produced
4-run
makeindex
produces
yourDocument.ind
Have a look with a normal editor
It shows e.g.
\begin{theindex}
\item BibTeX, 1
\indexspace
\item inset, 1
\end{theindex}
yourDocument.ind (END)
5- use this as the basis for your glossary.

1.5.0 Linux install help
Hiya I have been having some problems installing 1.5.0beta3 on my Kubuntu 7.04 machine. I had used all of the betas on my Kubuntu 6.06lts without any problems. The problems seem to related font installation in some way. In my attempts to get things working, I have mostly been working with files and documents that worked fine on my old 6.06lts setup. Basically, fonts in svg figures (preview or PDF output) disappear or fail in some other way. After three days of fighting with the system, I have managed to get previews 1.4.x however, I'd like to get 1.5.0 working again. Here is a screenshot of the output and preview from Lyx http://www.unmusic.co.uk/lyx_fontproblem.png Regardless of what I do, fonts in the preview images do not seem to have any carriage returns. The fonts in PDF output are omitted. I have managed to get fonts in the PDF figures be included with the following converter string: inkscape $$i -T --export-eps $$o The -T switch causes the fonts to be converted into a path, which looks awful on screen, but at least it works. Without -T, the fonts or even the entire figures are missing. Infuriatingly, in 1.5.0, using convert or inkscape (command line) both cause this problem with previews. And yet, using the commandline: inkscape drawing.svg --export-png drawing.png /does/ work as expected! From the command line: inkscape drawing.svg --export-eps drawing.eps omits the fonts. here is the output from pdf preview in 1.5.0 Error: /invalidfont in /findfont Operand stack: FreeSansBold-ISOLatin1 FreeSansBold Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1813 1 3 %oparray_pop 1812 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- 1808 1 3 %oparray_pop 1691 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 1783 2 3 %oparray_pop Dictionary stack: --dict:1084/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:74/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 GPL Ghostscript 8.57: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Bear in mind, I have been hammering this system for three solid days, so make no assumptions about its sanity, in terms of setup.

Re: problems to show figures in LyX
Paul: I don't understand this. You're saying that LyX will display the PPM file properly (if you include it directly in the document) but GIMP thinks the file is bad? LyX displays the ppm file but not properly. I mean, it appears an image on the screen, but this image has less to do with the original ps figure. Therefore, ImageMagick is converting the ps file into a ppm file containing some strange information that LyX is able to display but GIMP is not able to open (plugin cannot open image) Do you have problems converting non-Adobe formats (e.g., figure1.jpg) to PPM? The reason I ask is that ImageMagick relies on Ghostscript when converting Postscript and Encapsulated Postscript to other formats. So if the problem is only with PS/EPS and not with JPG/PNG/..., then the place to look is your Ghostscript installation.

However, if I try to load the jpg file in LyX then I get the Error converting to loadable format. So I believe that the problem is not with Ghostscript.

Re: Problem with PDF output with different pdf reader.
For users of Mac OS X 10.4.x, PDFview is a great application for this purpose. It integrates nicely with LaTeX and LyX, and you can easily configure it to automatically update the PDF output. With LyX, this means that -- you set PDFview with open -a pdfview as your viewer in LyX's preferences -- you click the checkbox in PDFview's preferences to automatically reload files that are updated on your harddisk -- and anytime now you choose View -- Update from your LyX document, -- you simply switch to PDFview, and the changes are right there.

It would be nice if someone could explain what should run on OSX 10.2.9 I'm frankly not sure, since I haven't had 10.2 around to test on. But I believe the binaries for LyX-1.4 (and the forthcoming -1.5) will not work on 10.2. So I believe you'll have to use LyX-1.3. (I don't remember any reason why 1.3.7 wouldn't work on 10.2.) Your experience with LyX-1.4.x is what I'd expect: you need the precise version of the libiconv.2.dylib LyX was compiled with for it to work -- and that's the version that comes with 10.3. If you want to compile your own version, I believe LyX-1.4 will work on 10.2. FYI, I've read Qt4.3 will not support OSX 10.2 so 1.5 will for sure not be usable there. Abdel.

Re: latex listings - line breaking problem
Jakub Suder wrote:
Hi,
I'm writing my MSc thesis in Lyx, and today I installed 1.5.0rc1 and
tried to use code listings (I have lots of Java examples in my
thesis), but I've encountered a problem. I'm using a custom class from
my university - mgragh (I don't know if the list accepts attachments,
so I've put it here:
http://cassiopea.net.autocom.pl/public/mgragh.zip) and I've noticed
that this class prevents long lines from being broken inside a listing
block.
I have code like this (Lyx view source box):
\begingroup
\inputencoding{latin1}
\begin{lstlisting}[breaklines=true,showstringspaces=false]
(code fragment with long lines)
\end{lstlisting}
\endgroup
And the lines aren't broken, they just extend over the margin and are
cut eventually. When I paste the code into a new empty document using
article class, everything is ok, the lines are broken into parts.
Then if I change the document class to mgragh - it stops working.
Do you know what may be wrong? What should I change in the class to
make it compatible with listings?
Automatically breaking program listings is a very tricky business.
Usually, the automatic breaking isn't good, and can sometimes
even introduce syntax errors. (depending on the language in use.)
When I wrote a programming book, I wrote all the sample code
so that it wasn't too wide. Keep statements short, use
few levels of indentation, and break lines manually when this
isn't enough. Using short identifier names (one letter is often
enough, and avoid the wider uppercase ones.)
Setting code samples with a small narrow font helps too, if
all else fails.
Keeping the statements short and so on
is often an advantage anyway - the code gets easier to read.

Valter,
I used the indexing just as an easy way to pick out the words in my document
which I want to put in the glossary.
There might be better ways, and certainly better informed people around!
This is the procedure:
1-Go through the document and put the cursor immediately behind the word you
want to use in the glossary. Press first alt_i, than d (a shortcut for
InsertIndex-Entry): This produces a grey box idx behind the selected item.
Clicking on it shows the content (note that you have to add by hand if the
item consists of e.g. two words -or you remove the space between the two
words before indexing and put it in again afterward (same in the idx-box).
2-Go to the place where your index (and later the glossary) should occur,
e.g. before the bibliography.
insertlist/TOCindex list
you won´t see anything in the index list yet.
3-export your file
fileexportlatex(plain)
run three times
latex yourDocument.tex
the output contains:
No file yourDocument .ind.
No file yourDocument.bbl.
but a file yourDocument.idx is produced
4-run
makeindex
produces
yourDocument.ind
Have a look with a normal editor
It shows e.g.
\begin{theindex}
\item BibTeX, 1
\indexspace
\item inset, 1
\end{theindex}
yourDocument.ind (END)
5- use this as the basis for your glossary.

OTOH as you can see from my signature I'm german, born 1943 and my parents have lived through all of the war (actually two of these, teh first one as little children). In many European countries being compared with the gestapo would be considered very offensive, even for people much younger than me. So thanks for your last reply.

1.5.0 Linux install help
Hiya I have been having some problems installing 1.5.0beta3 on my Kubuntu 7.04 machine. I had used all of the betas on my Kubuntu 6.06lts without any problems. The problems seem to related font installation in some way. In my attempts to get things working, I have mostly been working with files and documents that worked fine on my old 6.06lts setup. Basically, fonts in svg figures (preview or PDF output) disappear or fail in some other way. After three days of fighting with the system, I have managed to get previews 1.4.x however, I'd like to get 1.5.0 working again. Here is a screenshot of the output and preview from Lyx http://www.unmusic.co.uk/lyx_fontproblem.png Regardless of what I do, fonts in the preview images do not seem to have any carriage returns. The fonts in PDF output are omitted. I have managed to get fonts in the PDF figures be included with the following converter string: inkscape $$i -T --export-eps $$o The -T switch causes the fonts to be converted into a path, which looks awful on screen, but at least it works. Without -T, the fonts or even the entire figures are missing. Infuriatingly, in 1.5.0, using convert or inkscape (command line) both cause this problem with previews. And yet, using the commandline: inkscape drawing.svg --export-png drawing.png /does/ work as expected! From the command line: inkscape drawing.svg --export-eps drawing.eps omits the fonts. here is the output from pdf preview in 1.5.0 Error: /invalidfont in /findfont Operand stack: FreeSansBold-ISOLatin1 FreeSansBold Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1813 1 3 %oparray_pop 1812 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- 1808 1 3 %oparray_pop 1691 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 1783 2 3 %oparray_pop Dictionary stack: --dict:1084/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:74/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 GPL Ghostscript 8.57: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Bear in mind, I have been hammering this system for three solid days, so make no assumptions about its sanity, in terms of setup.

Paul: I don't understand this. You're saying that LyX will display the PPM file properly (if you include it directly in the document) but GIMP thinks the file is bad? LyX displays the ppm file but not properly. I mean, it appears an image on the screen, but this image has less to do with the original ps figure.

Re: Problem with PDF output with different pdf reader.
For users of Mac OS X 10.4.x, PDFview is a great application for this purpose. It integrates nicely with LaTeX and LyX, and you can easily configure it to automatically update the PDF output. With LyX, this means that -- you set PDFview with "open -a pdfview" as your viewer in LyX's preferences -- you click the checkbox in PDFview's preferences to automatically reload files that are updated on your harddisk -- and anytime now you choose View --> Update from your LyX document, -- you simply switch to PDFview, and the changes are right there. No reloading, no closing and opening, no pressing keys.

Your experience with LyX-1.4.x is what I'd expect: you need the precise version of the libiconv.2.dylib LyX was compiled with for it to work -- and that's the version that comes with 10.3. If you want to compile your own version, I believe LyX-1.4 will work on 10.2. FYI, I've read Qt4.3 will not support OSX 10.2 so 1.5 will for sure not be usable there. Abdel.

Re: latex listings - line breaking problem
Jakub Suder wrote:
Hi,
I'm writing my MSc thesis in Lyx, and today I installed 1.5.0rc1 and
tried to use code listings (I have lots of Java examples in my
thesis), but I've encountered a problem. I'm using a custom class from
my university - mgragh (I don't know if the list accepts attachments,
so I've put it here:
http://cassiopea.net.autocom.pl/public/mgragh.zip) and I've noticed
that this class prevents long lines from being broken inside a listing
block.
I have code like this (Lyx view source box):
\begingroup
\inputencoding{latin1}
\begin{lstlisting}[breaklines=true,showstringspaces=false]
(code fragment with long lines)
\end{lstlisting}
\endgroup
And the lines aren't broken, they just extend over the margin and are
cut eventually. When I paste the code into a new empty document using
"article" class, everything is ok, the lines are broken into parts.
Then if I change the document class to mgragh - it stops working.
Do you know what may be wrong? What should I change in the class to
make it compatible with listings?
Automatically breaking program listings is a very tricky business.
Usually, the automatic breaking isn't good, and can sometimes
even introduce syntax errors. (depending on the language in use.)
When I wrote a programming book, I wrote all the sample code
so that it wasn't too wide. Keep statements short, use
few levels of indentation, and break lines manually when this
isn't enough. Using short identifier names (one letter is often
enough, and avoid the wider uppercase ones.)
Setting code samples with a small narrow font helps too, if
all else fails.
Keeping the statements short and so on
is often an advantage anyway - the code gets easier to read.
German grafik dialog window
Hi this is a remark of a 'perfectionist' ;-) When I'm working with lyx-svn (as of yesterday noon) with my german settings the graphic dialog, tab 'Grafik' shows two places where the letter o (Oh) is underlined, indicating that it could be activated with the key combination alt+o: * Tab 'LaTeX- und LyX-Optionen' * Button 'OK' The letter 't' seems to be available in this context to activate the tab 'LaTeX- und LyX-Optionen'. I would like to have alt+o consistently for 'OK' as in other apps.

Valter,
I used the indexing just as an easy way to pick out the words in my document
which I want to put in the glossary.
There might be better ways, and certainly better informed people around!
This is the procedure:
1-Go through the document and put the cursor immediately behind the word you
want to use in the glossary. Press first alt_i, than d (a shortcut for
Insert>Index-Entry): This produces a grey box idx behind the selected item.
Clicking on it shows the content (note that you have to add by hand if the
item consists of e.g. two words -or you remove the space between the two
words before indexing and put it in again afterward (same in the idx-box).
2-Go to the place where your index (and later the glossary) should occur,
e.g. before the bibliography.
insert>list/TOC>index list
you won´t see anything in the index list yet.
3-export your file
file>export>latex(plain)
run three times
latex yourDocument.tex
the output contains:
No file yourDocument .ind.
No file yourDocument.bbl.
but a file yourDocument.idx is produced
4-run
makeindex
produces
yourDocument.ind
Have a look with a normal editor
It shows e.g.
\begin{theindex}
\item BibTeX, 1
\indexspace
\item inset, 1
\end{theindex}
yourDocument.ind (END)
5- use this as the basis for your glossary.

With the box method you can easily adjust the space between the image and the frame and also the frame thickness and color, see the EmbeddedObjects manual how this is done. regards Uwe newfile1.lyx Description: application/lyx

1.5.0 Linux install help
Hiya I have been having some problems installing 1.5.0beta3 on my Kubuntu 7.04 machine. I had used all of the betas on my Kubuntu 6.06lts without any problems. The problems seem to related font installation in some way. In my attempts to get things working, I have mostly been working with files and documents that worked fine on my old 6.06lts setup. Basically, fonts in svg figures (preview or PDF output) disappear or fail in some other way. After three days of fighting with the system, I have managed to get previews 1.4.x however, I'd like to get 1.5.0 working again. Here is a screenshot of the output and preview from Lyx http://www.unmusic.co.uk/lyx_fontproblem.png Regardless of what I do, fonts in the preview images do not seem to have any carriage returns. The fonts in PDF output are omitted. I have managed to get fonts in the PDF figures be included with the following converter string: inkscape $$i -T --export-eps $$o The -T switch causes the fonts to be converted into a path, which looks awful on screen, but at least it works. Without -T, the fonts or even the entire figures are missing. Infuriatingly, in 1.5.0, using convert or inkscape (command line) both cause this problem with previews. And yet, using the commandline: inkscape drawing.svg --export-png drawing.png /does/ work as expected! From the command line: inkscape drawing.svg --export-eps drawing.eps omits the fonts. here is the output from pdf preview in 1.5.0 Error: /invalidfont in /findfont Operand stack: FreeSansBold-ISOLatin1 FreeSansBold Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1813 1 3 %oparray_pop 1812 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- 1808 1 3 %oparray_pop 1691 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 1783 2 3 %oparray_pop Dictionary stack: --dict:1084/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:74/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 GPL Ghostscript 8.57: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Bear in mind, I have been hammering this system for three solid days, so make no assumptions about its sanity, in terms of setup.
