Can't get my university thesis .cls class to work

[elaliberte]

Hi,

My University provides the  http://n2.nabble.com/file/n2955951/uocthesis.cls
uocthesis.cls  file for formatting PhD theses with LaTeX. This file is based
on  http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/uwthesis/
uwthesis.cls .

I've followed the instructions on this 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/CreatingLayouts page  and created the following
layout file:


#  \DeclareLaTeXClass{uocthesis}
Input stdclass.inc


I then imported the example file given by our university (
http://n2.nabble.com/file/n2955951/example-thesis.tex example-thesis.tex ),
and selected the new uocthesis document class.

However, I can't get it to work. When I try to export to PDF I get the
following error:

 \titlepage
   
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


Any help would be much appreciated.

Where did you put that file? It is not sufficient to just put it in the
same folder as the .lyx file, it needs to be in some latex path,
like /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/

You have to run `texhash` as root afterwards.

Also, did you put your .layout file to ~/.lyx/layouts/ and
reconfigured lyx afterwards?

I know, this doesn't exactly fit your error report, but sometimes lyx
shows really weird errors...

Re: Can't get my university thesis .cls class to work

[elaliberte]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that:

1) I put the uocthesis.cls file in usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
2) I ran 'texhash' from the command line
3) I put my uocthesis.layout file in usr/share/lyx/layouts
4) I reconfigured Lyx

The uocthesis class appears in LyX. The problem is converting to PDF.
Thanks for your help!

Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I have a problem with the quality of jpg-images.
I have a jpg image with best quality, made with coreldraw (actually I use
coreldraw to to work on the existing jpg-file, which contains function-graphs
and other curves)
When I open it, the quality is good, there are no little dots from the
compression around the numbers.
Them I create a pdf with ps2pdf and I get lots of these little dots.
So the jpg quality seems to be reduced by lyx during the export process, because
the dvi is fine. 
I just need to use ps2pdf, because the pdf is processed at another place and
they can only deal with pdfs made with ps2pdf
I' using Lyx 1.3.4 on a Suse Linux (and I dont want to update, because all new
lyx are slower it has to to with the latex)
Thanks Robert

On export the bibtex-references are shown as question marks

[Lars Olesen]

I am using Lyx 1.6.2 on Ubuntu. I am using Bibtex-references, and it works
perfectly when just writing the document in the editor. Everything is shown
correctly. However, when exporting (to html, opendocument, plain text,
pdflatex) the references only show up as question marks? Anyone experienced
similar issues?

Another issue: And when viewing the document as DVI, only a few characters
are shown on each page?

I can't seem to compile it even directly. I.e., by running latex 
example-thesis from the command line. I get the same error. There's 
something wrong in the definition of the \titlepage macro. Anyway, if 
you add this line:

Hi some questions about Tables and Titles

[Adrian Diaz]

Hi friends of Lyx

Do you knonw how to set up the line width of tables, the types of lines,
colors of line etc in Lyx?. Could you send some examples?.

I would like to know about of titles of section, subsection etc. How can i
set up in lyx that the titles do not appear on the top at the right corner
when the lyx   makes a copy in PDF?. I am writting my thesis with class
document book(more font sizes).

Seriously, what do you expect? If you're not willing to upgrade, I don't 
think there is any possibility to fix _any_ issue...
If your  quality-issue is pressing, you should try out lyx 1.6.2, maybe 
on another machine, and just see if the quality still remains bad.
Also I can't really imagine any situation where anything regarding lyx 
and latex takes longer than one could bear.

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

Thankx for the very nice advice, especially the sarcastic note!
I write books with about 250 pages and 10 pic. On the old Lyx it takes 
around 25 sec. to produce a pdf, on the newer lyx it takes around 40 sec.
When I do the final work I have to produce quite a lot of pdfs to check 
the pages. So just give it a try and count twenty times to 40... this is 
very hard to stand.
So, thats why I HAVE to use the old Lyx and I hope somebody has a better 
advice...

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Yago]

If you use Coreldraw, don't export to jpg you graphic, but directly to eps 
type 2 and you will have best quality and no pixelated contours.

Hi Robert,

The fact that you have two different versions of Linux running is a 
troubleshooting advantage, because you can exploit the differences. I would 
pay particular attention to EXACTLY HOW LyX is compiled to PDF. It could be 
that your 1.3.4 is set up to do the conversion differently, which could 
account for its speedier performance AND its pixellation.

One way you can put more of the variables in your own hands is to make a 
shellscript to do the conversion -- something like this:

#!/bin/bash
StyleFile=rl_21.ist
LyxCmd=lyx-1.5.6

rm -f $1.aux
rm -f $1.dvi
rm -f $1.ps
rm -f $1.pdf
rm -f $1.idx
rm -f $1.ilg
rm -f $1.ind
rm -f $1.log
rm -f $1.tex
rm -f $1.toc

$LyxCmd --export latex $1.lyx

latex $1.tex

if test -f $StyleFile; then
makeindex -s $StyleFile $1.idx
else
makeindex $1.idx
fi

if grep -qi error $1.ilg; then
echo ERROR: Inspect $1.ilg and $1.ind!
gvim $1.ilg $1.ind
echo ERROR: Inspect $1.ilg and $1.ind!
else
latex $1.tex
dvips -o $1.ps $1.dvi
#   ps2pdf $1.ps
ps2pdf12 $1.ps
#   xpdf $1.pdf 
fi

Anyway, theoretically if you use this shellscript on both LyX versions you're 
doing the same thing and any discrepancy should be due to the LyX version. 
You can run timing tests on each process to see what's really gobbling up 
your time. Your goal is to get something with your current 1.3.4's speed and 
later LyX's faithful graphical rendering.

I used 1.3.4 for a long time. It was stable, robust, and it still used my pet 
interface xforms /* Litt ducks and runs */. But 1.3.4 didn't have character 
styles, and in my opinion if it doesn't have character styles, it's not 
really styles-based -- it's fingerpainting. I'd recommend you find a way to 
make 1.5x or 1.6x perform as quickly as 1.3.4 did. Just find out what's 
gobbling your time, and find a way to optimize it.

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

 It would be interesting to know what exactly causes this difference.

I spent two days on this, a couple of years ago, then I gave up and switched
back to the old Lyx. You can find the discussion here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/34234/focus=34251

It was definitely a big time-difference, with the books I was writing on with my
last machine, it increased from 8 sec. to 25 or so and this feels like hours;-)
I think it is no lyx problem but a latex-caused problem.

Robert

What I do not understand is:If you compare LyX 1.3 and LyX 1.6 on the same 
system (using the same LaTeX installation), do you see a delay then?

Then you need to change your definition of the page header line, see sec. 3.1.3 
of the LyX User's guide.


I am writing my thesis with class document book(more font sizes).


When you are using instead of this class memoir or koma-skript book, you are much more flexible in 
typesetting your thesis. (Personally, I'm writing my thesis using the koma-script book class because 
koma-script allows me to define easily the print space of the pages, the title pages, the header and 
footer line formats, etc..)

4) I reconfigured Lyx

The uocthesis class appears in LyX. The problem is converting to PDF.
Thanks for your help!

  
I can't seem to compile it even directly. I.e., by running latex

something wrong in the definition of the \titlepage macro. Anyway, if

Hi some questions about Tables and Titles

[Adrian Diaz]

Hi friends of Lyx

Do you knonw how to set up the line width of tables, the types of lines,
colors of line etc in Lyx?. Could you send some examples?.

I would like to know about of titles of section, subsection etc. How can i
set up in lyx that the titles do not appear on the top at the right corner
when the lyx   makes a copy in PDF?. I am writting my thesis with class
document book(more font sizes).

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

Thankx for the very nice advice, especially the sarcastic note!
I write books with about 250 pages and 10 pic. On the old Lyx it takes 
around 25 sec. to produce a pdf, on the newer lyx it takes around 40 sec.
When I do the final work I have to produce quite a lot of pdfs to check 
the pages. So just give it a try and count twenty times to 40... this is

If you use Coreldraw, don't export to jpg you graphic, but directly to eps 
type 2 and you will have best quality and no pixelated contours.

Hi Robert,

The fact that you have two different versions of Linux running is a 
troubleshooting advantage, because you can exploit the differences. I would 
pay particular attention to EXACTLY HOW LyX is compiled to PDF. It could be 
that your 1.3.4 is set up to do the conversion differently, which could 
account for its speedier performance AND its pixellation.

One way you can put more of the variables in your own hands is to make a 
shellscript to do the conversion -- something like this:

#!/bin/bash
StyleFile=rl_21.ist
LyxCmd=lyx-1.5.6

rm -f $1.aux
rm -f $1.dvi
rm -f $1.ps
rm -f $1.pdf
rm -f $1.idx
rm -f $1.ilg
rm -f $1.ind
rm -f $1.log
rm -f $1.tex
rm -f $1.toc

$LyxCmd --export latex $1.lyx

latex $1.tex

if test -f $StyleFile; then
makeindex -s $StyleFile $1.idx
else
makeindex $1.idx
fi

if grep -qi error $1.ilg; then
echo ERROR: Inspect $1.ilg and $1.ind!
gvim $1.ilg $1.ind
echo ERROR: Inspect $1.ilg and $1.ind!
else
latex $1.tex
dvips -o $1.ps $1.dvi
#   ps2pdf $1.ps
ps2pdf12 $1.ps
#   xpdf $1.pdf 
fi

Anyway, theoretically if you use this shellscript on both LyX versions you're 
doing the same thing and any discrepancy should be due to the LyX version. 
You can run timing tests on each process to see what's really gobbling up 
your time. Your goal is to get something with your current 1.3.4's speed and 
later LyX's faithful graphical rendering.

I used 1.3.4 for a long time. It was stable, robust, and it still used my pet 
interface xforms /* Litt ducks and runs */. But 1.3.4 didn't have character 
styles, and in my opinion if it doesn't have character styles, it's not 
really styles-based -- it's fingerpainting. I'd recommend you find a way to 
make 1.5x or 1.6x perform as quickly as 1.3.4 did. Just find out what's 
gobbling your time, and find a way to optimize it.

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

 It would be interesting to know what exactly causes this difference.

I spent two days on this, a couple of years ago, then I gave up and switched
back to the old Lyx. You can find the discussion here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/34234/focus=34251

It was definitely a big time-difference, with the books I was writing on with my

I think it is no lyx problem but a latex-caused problem.

Then you need to change your definition of the page header line, see sec. 3.1.3

I am writing my thesis with class document book(more font sizes).


When you are using instead of this class memoir or koma-skript book, you are much more flexible in

koma-script allows me to define easily the print space of the pages, the title pages, the header and

Can't get my university thesis .cls class to work

[elaliberte]

Hi,

My University provides the  http://n2.nabble.com/file/n2955951/uocthesis.cls
uocthesis.cls  file for formatting PhD theses with LaTeX. This file is based
on  http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/uwthesis/
uwthesis.cls .

I've followed the instructions on this 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/CreatingLayouts page  and created the following
layout file:


#  \DeclareLaTeXClass{uocthesis}
Input stdclass.inc


I then imported the example file given by our university (
http://n2.nabble.com/file/n2955951/example-thesis.tex example-thesis.tex ),
and selected the new "uocthesis" document class.

However, I can't get it to work. When I try to export to PDF I get the
following error:

 \titlepage
   
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


Any help would be much appreciated.

Where did you put that file? It is not sufficient to just put it in the
same folder as the .lyx file, it needs to be in some latex path,
like /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/

You have to run `texhash` as root afterwards.

Also, did you put your .layout file to ~/.lyx/layouts/ and
"reconfigure"d lyx afterwards?

I know, this doesn't exactly fit your error report, but sometimes lyx
shows really weird errors...

HTH,

Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I have a problem with the quality of jpg-images.
I have a jpg image with best quality, made with coreldraw (actually I use
coreldraw to to work on the existing jpg-file, which contains function-graphs
and other curves)
When I open it, the quality is good, there are no "little dots" from the
compression around the numbers.
Them I create a pdf with ps2pdf and I get lots of these little dots.
So the jpg quality seems to be reduced by lyx during the export process, because
the dvi is fine. 
I just need to use ps2pdf, because the pdf is processed at another place and
they can only deal with pdfs made with ps2pdf
I' using Lyx 1.3.4 on a Suse Linux (and I dont want to update, because all new
lyx are slower it has to to with the latex)
Thanks Robert

On export the bibtex-references are shown as question marks

[Lars Olesen]

I am using Lyx 1.6.2 on Ubuntu. I am using Bibtex-references, and it works
perfectly when just writing the document in the editor. Everything is shown
correctly. However, when exporting (to html, opendocument, plain text,
pdflatex) the references only show up as question marks? Anyone experienced
similar issues?

Another issue: And when viewing the document as DVI, only a few characters
are shown on each page?

What I do not understand is:If you compare LyX 1.3 and LyX 1.6 on the same 
system (using the same LaTeX installation), do you see a delay then?

Table of Anything! (Customized)

[Marcelo Reis]

Any one know how or where can I find information about creating a 
customized listing of anything?!


I mean, List of Pictures is ok (Standard) as well as List of Contents.
But what if I'd like to create a List of Pictures of My DOG and a List 
of pictures of my Cat and another List of picture of my Shark!?!?


Is there any special name for what I'm trying to do?!

Regards, and Thank you !
As usually you guys are helping me a lot finishing my thesis.

I have noticed the same problem importing latex files from Scientific Workplace.
Is there any workaround?

Re: Hi some questions about Tables and Titles

Do you knonw how to set up the line width of tables, the types of lines,
colors of line etc in Lyx?. Could you send some examples?.


Everything about tables is described in the EmbeddedObjects manual that our 
find in LyX's Help menu.


I would like to know about of titles of section, subsection etc. How can i
set up in lyx that the titles do not appear on the top at the right corner
when the lyx   makes a copy in PDF?.


Then you need to change your definition of the page header line, see sec. 3.1.3 
of the LyX User's guide.


I am writing my thesis with class document book(more font sizes).


When you are using instead of this class memoir or koma-skript book, you are much more flexible in 
typesetting your thesis. (Personally, I'm writing my thesis using the koma-script book class because 
koma-script allows me to define easily the print space of the pages, the title pages, the header and 
footer line formats, etc..)
