Problems installing LyX
Hello! I've been experiencing some problems while trying to upgrade my LyX installation. I'm currently using version 1.5.3 (alternate installer 3.21). When I try to update to, or install, either version 1.5.4 (alt. installer 3.22) or 1.6svn (alt. installer 4.10) the installation and configuration proceed with no errors, but launching LyX gives The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). My environment is WinXP SP2. Any ideas what I'm missing? - Juha

Further I upload my files each time I update LyX to make sure that apparent bugs don't ruin my work. With other words I am well prepared for the day LyX stops working: I can switch back to my last version of LyX at any time. I know that there might also be changes in the LyX file format. If that happens and I won't be able to adapt my files to the new format, I will still be able to finish my thesis, as my current version works very well and I have to hand it in by the end of March. Due to the time frame stepping back to 1.5.4 is no option for me: there are already too many changes in the file format regarding the layout modules for example. Dominik

Why do Inkscape drawing pixellate in LyX?
Hi all, I have three Inkscape drawings. They pixellate very badly when I export them to .png and then include them in my LyX written book.

There are a couple ways to do this that will probably get you where you want to go.

parameters of the class
Hello,
I am using a non-standard class designed for LaTeX by a book editor.
One of the differences with the class book is that the class has
different optionnal parameters. But LyX always puts in the LaTeX file:
\documentclass[english,french]{otherbook}
which does not give the result I want.
Is there a way to prevent LyX from writing: [english,french] ?
I must say that my document has been declared as being totally in French.

Latex - LyX - Latex (trouble with accents)
Hi.
I'm importing a Latex file that has accented letters written in the old
encoding scheme (OT1) way: \'{a} \'{e} \'{\i} \c{c} \~{a}, etc.
I want to import this file into LyX, make the necessary changes and then
export it back to Latex.
The problem is that almost all accented letters are automatically converted to
the new encoding scheme (T1) (á é í ç ã, etc), but I'd like to have them
still written in the old way.
What I tried to do is set the TeX encoding in Tools - Preferences... -
Outputs - Latex to OT1 before importing the .tex file. When I export the
modified text back to Latex, the preamble has the following instructions:
\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
as expected, but the accented letters in the text come out in the new
encoding, insted of the old, as I wished.
Anyone knows of some workaround for this?
Thanks.

Thanks Uwe and Ethan, First of all, for some reason Inkscape thought I didn't have Arial installed on my computer. I do, but the heck with it, I changed it to Century Schoolbook, and for better readability upped the font from 12 to 16. That in itself made the picture tolerable. Ethan -- I tried your technique of exporting to a 300dpi .png, and like you said, the result was stunningly beautiful, and like you said, it really bloated the filesize. Uwe -- I simply used the inkscape file within LyX, and it came out tolerable and a small filesize. Interestingly, I had absolutely no svg to pdf converter, so LyX must have something built in. Interestingly, the Inkscape .svg format has other junk inside to store Inkscape metadata, but still rendered within both LyX 1.4.2 and LyX 1.5.3. Uwe -- if I added a SVG converter, to what should I make it convert? One would think that the longer the picture stayed vector based, the better things would be. So I have to decide whether to bloat the file to reduce moderate pixellation on 3 or 4 pictures, and of course I'm still looking for a third alternative with the font beauty of 300dpi .png and the small filesize of .svg.

This doesn't harm and are the needed options for the babel package that does the translation of

To use the documentclass options you need, simply insert them comma separated in the field Options

Using a network printer
How do I set up Lyx to use a network printer? At the moment I can print by viewing as pdf in kpdf which sees my printer.

Re: PNG background
Hello again, Now PNG does support transparency, so you should be able to get this to work -- but only if you use pdflatex to output PDF as your finished product.

Lyx and SVN logs
Hello all, I've asked this on the SVN mailing list but no one had an answer. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to import an SVN logfile into Lyx for inclusion in a thesis? I've dumped my SVN log to a xml file but I have no idea how I would convert it for use in LyX (short of writing my own software to do so). Has anyone already solved this problem? Any off the shelf tools for converting XML to an arbitrary format like LaTeX? Any ideas of recommendations appreciated. Thanks for your time. B. Bogart
Authors in preamble using \twoauthors
Hey all,
Yet again I am having some issues with the spconf.sty.
This time it's the authors.
In spconf.sty the comments for \twoauthors are:
- use \twoauthors{author1}{address1}{author2}{address2}
% for two (or more) authors with two separate addresses
%- note: no need for \author nor \date
%- optional: can use \thanks{xx} within \name or \twoauthors,
% asterisk is not printed after name nor in footnote
%- optional: can use \sthanks{xx} after each name within \name or
% \twoauthors if different thanks for each author,
% footnote symbol will appear for each name and footnote
And it defines \twoauthors:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\em #1} \\ \\
#2\relax
\end{tabular}\hskip [EMAIL PROTECTED]@{}}
{\em #3} \\ \\
#4\relax
\end{tabular}}}
I have no idea of latex but I guess that this must set the layout and
parameters for only 2 author areas where only one address is allowed. My
problem is that I need 3 authors with three distinct addresses.
Can I modify this piece of code to spread 3 authors evenly across the page?
I suspect I may have to reduce the text size to accommodate all 3.
Does anyone know how to set this up correctly, or by doing this am I
violating the template?
Thanks

Why do Inkscape drawing pixellate in LyX?
Hi all, I have three Inkscape drawings. They pixellate very badly when I export them to .png and then include them in my LyX written book. When I export them to PDF they are pixellated but not as badly. Both text and curves pixellate. These three drawings are simple cartoons, created by me. What's the best way to put an Inkcape drawn drawing into LyX?

There are a couple ways to do this that will probably get you where you want to go.

parameters of the class
Hello,
I am using a non-standard class designed for LaTeX by a book editor.
One of the differences with the class book is that the class has
different optionnal parameters. But LyX always puts in the LaTeX file:
\documentclass[english,french]{otherbook}
which does not give the result I want.
Is there a way to prevent LyX from writing: [english,french] ?
I must say that my document has been declared as being totally in French.

Latex - LyX - Latex (trouble with accents)
Hi.
I'm importing a Latex file that has accented letters written in the old
encoding scheme (OT1) way: \'{a} \'{e} \'{\i} \c{c} \~{a}, etc.
I want to import this file into LyX, make the necessary changes and then
export it back to Latex.
The problem is that almost all accented letters are automatically converted to
the new encoding scheme (T1) (á é í ç ã, etc), but I'd like to have them
still written in the old way.
What I tried to do is set the TeX encoding in Tools - Preferences... -
Outputs - Latex to OT1 before importing the .tex file. When I export the
modified text back to Latex, the preamble has the following instructions:
\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
as expected, but the accented letters in the text come out in the new
encoding, insted of the old, as I wished.
Anyone knows of some workaround for this?
Thanks.

Thanks Uwe and Ethan, First of all, for some reason Inkscape thought I didn't have Arial installed on my computer. I do, but the heck with it, I changed it to Century Schoolbook, and for better readability upped the font from 12 to 16. That in itself made the picture tolerable. Ethan -- I tried your technique of exporting to a 300dpi .png, and like you said, the result was stunningly beautiful, and like you said, it really bloated the filesize. Uwe -- I simply used the inkscape file within LyX, and it came out tolerable and a small filesize. Interestingly, I had absolutely no svg to pdf converter, so LyX must have something built in. Interestingly, the Inkscape .svg format has other junk inside to store Inkscape metadata, but still rendered within both LyX 1.4.2 and LyX 1.5.3. Uwe -- if I added a SVG converter, to what should I make it convert? One would think that the longer the picture stayed vector based, the better things would be. So I have to decide whether to bloat the file to reduce moderate pixellation on 3 or 4 pictures, and of course I'm still looking for a third alternative with the font beauty of 300dpi .png and the small filesize of .svg.

This doesn't harm and are the needed options for the babel package that does the translation of

To use the documentclass options you need, simply insert them comma separated in the field Options

Using a network printer
How do I set up Lyx to use a network printer? At the moment I can print by viewing as pdf in kpdf which sees my printer.

Re: PNG background
Hello again, Now PNG does support transparency, so you should be able to get this to work -- but only if you use pdflatex to output PDF as your finished product.

Lyx and SVN logs
Hello all, I've asked this on the SVN mailing list but no one had an answer. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to import an SVN logfile into Lyx for inclusion in a thesis? I've dumped my SVN log to a xml file but I have no idea how I would convert it for use in LyX (short of writing my own software to do so). Has anyone already solved this problem? Any off the shelf tools for converting XML to an arbitrary format like LaTeX? Any ideas of recommendations appreciated. Thanks for your time. B. Bogart
Authors in preamble using \twoauthors
Hey all,
Yet again I am having some issues with the spconf.sty.
This time it's the authors.
In spconf.sty the comments for \twoauthors are:
- use \twoauthors{author1}{address1}{author2}{address2}
% for two (or more) authors with two separate addresses
%- note: no need for \author nor \date
%- optional: can use \thanks{xx} within \name or \twoauthors,
% asterisk is not printed after name nor in footnote
%- optional: can use \sthanks{xx} after each name within \name or
% \twoauthors if different thanks for each author,
% footnote symbol will appear for each name and footnote
And it defines \twoauthors:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\em #1} \\ \\
#2\relax
\end{tabular}\hskip [EMAIL PROTECTED]@{}}
{\em #3} \\ \\
#4\relax
\end{tabular}}}
I have no idea of latex but I guess that this must set the layout and
parameters for only 2 author areas where only one address is allowed. My
problem is that I need 3 authors with three distinct addresses.
Can I modify this piece of code to spread 3 authors evenly across the page?
I suspect I may have to reduce the text size to accommodate all 3.
Does anyone know how to set this up correctly, or by doing this am I
violating the template?
Thanks

Why do Inkscape drawing pixellate in LyX?
Hi all, I have three Inkscape drawings. They pixellate very badly when I export them to .png and then include them in my LyX written book. When I export them to PDF they are pixellated but not as badly. Both text and curves pixellate. These three drawings are simple cartoons, created by me. What's the best way to put an Inkcape drawn drawing into LyX?

There are a couple ways to do this that will probably get you where you want to go. First, you can change the DPI settings in the export dialog in Inkscape--I think the default is 90dpi, which is passable for screen resolutions but otherwise unacceptable. If you're going to be printing the document, I'd set it at at least 300 (which will increase the filesize considerably, unfortunately). 600 is better. Second, you could save the file as another type, like EPS; LyX may be able to import this directly (it's been awhile since I've tried; I usually use pdflatex, and I think that it won't import EPS files). If it cannot, you can open the EPS file in something like the Gimp, which will allow you to specify the resolution when you open the file; you can then export it to any LyX-compatible format.

parameters of the class
Hello,
I am using a non-standard class designed for LaTeX by a book editor.
One of the differences with the class "book" is that the class has
different optionnal parameters. But LyX always puts in the LaTeX file:
\documentclass[english,french]{otherbook}
which does not give the result I want.
Is there a way to prevent LyX from writing: [english,french] ?
I must say that my document has been declared as being totally in French.

This looks very interesting and powerful. Some questions. 1. Is it not on CTAN? (If so, why?) By the way there is a name clash with a package on CTAN.

Latex -> LyX -> Latex (trouble with accents)
Hi.
I'm importing a Latex file that has accented letters written in the old
encoding scheme (OT1) way: \'{a} \'{e} \'{\i} \c{c} \~{a}, etc.
I want to import this file into LyX, make the necessary changes and then
export it back to Latex.
The problem is that almost all accented letters are automatically converted to
the new encoding scheme (T1) (á é í ç ã, etc), but I'd like to have them
still written in the old way.
What I tried to do is set the TeX encoding in Tools -> Preferences... ->
Outputs -> Latex to OT1 before importing the .tex file. When I export the
modified text back to Latex, the preamble has the following instructions:
\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
as expected, but the accented letters in the text come out in the new
encoding, insted of the old, as I wished.
Anyone knows of some workaround for this?
Thanks.

Thanks Uwe and Ethan, First of all, for some reason Inkscape thought I didn't have Arial installed on my computer. I do, but the heck with it, I changed it to Century Schoolbook, and for better readability upped the font from 12 to 16. That in itself made the picture tolerable. Ethan -- I tried your technique of exporting to a 300dpi .png, and like you said, the result was stunningly beautiful, and like you said, it really bloated the filesize. Uwe -- I simply used the inkscape file within LyX, and it came out tolerable and a small filesize. Interestingly, I had absolutely no svg to pdf converter, so LyX must have something built in. Interestingly, the Inkscape .svg format has other junk inside to store Inkscape metadata, but still rendered within both LyX 1.4.2 and LyX 1.5.3. Uwe -- if I added a SVG converter, to what should I make it convert? One would think that the longer the picture stayed vector based, the better things would be. So I have to decide whether to bloat the file to reduce moderate pixellation on 3 or 4 pictures, and of course I'm still looking for a third alternative with the font beauty of 300dpi .png and the small filesize of .svg.

This doesn't harm and are the needed options for the babel package that does the translation of
words like "Part". All given document class options can be used by the LaTeX-packages that are
loaded in the preamble.
To use the documentclass options you need, simply insert them comma separated in the field "Options"

Using a network printer
How do I set up Lyx to use a network printer? At the moment I can print by viewing as pdf in kpdf which sees my printer.

Lyx and SVN logs
Hello all, I've asked this on the SVN mailing list but no one had an answer. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to import an SVN logfile into Lyx for inclusion in a thesis? I've dumped my SVN log to a xml file but I have no idea how I would convert it for use in LyX (short of writing my own software to do so). Has anyone already solved this problem? Any off the shelf tools for converting XML to an arbitrary format like LaTeX? Any ideas of recommendations appreciated. Thanks for your time. B. Bogart
Authors in preamble using \twoauthors
Hey all,
Yet again I am having some issues with the spconf.sty.
This time it's the authors.
In spconf.sty the comments for \twoauthors are:
- use \twoauthors{author1}{address1}{author2}{address2}
% for two (or more) authors with two separate addresses
%- note: no need for \author nor \date
%- optional: can use \thanks{xx} within \name or \twoauthors,
% asterisk is not printed after name nor in footnote
%- optional: can use \sthanks{xx} after each name within \name or
% \twoauthors if different thanks for each author,
% footnote symbol will appear for each name and footnote
And it defines \twoauthors:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\em #1} \\ \\
#2\relax
\end{tabular}\hskip [EMAIL PROTECTED]@{}}
{\em #3} \\ \\
#4\relax
\end{tabular}}}
I have no idea of latex but I guess that this must set the layout and
parameters for only 2 author areas where only one address is allowed. My
problem is that I need 3 authors with three distinct addresses.
Can I modify this piece of code to spread 3 authors evenly across the page?
I suspect I may have to reduce the text size to accommodate all 3.
Does anyone know how to set this up correctly, or by doing this am I
violating the template?
Thanks

In Document->Settings->Language uncheck "Use language's default encoding".
This should enable the "Encoding:" combo box beneath.
Using the combo, choose "ascii" as the encoding and then try exporting.

I sometimes also have problems with fonts, but figured out, that everything looks exactly like in Inkscape if I change all the text elements to a font like "Arial". When I pick "Sans" as a font instead, the pdf export seems to use some Courier (typewriter)-font that looks really ugly. Maybe inkscape doesn't include the right fonts into the exported eps-file sometimes, but I don't really care as Arial works fine.
