Beamer class: how to use \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification?

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hi

In beamer class, I like the itemize environment with the possibility
to display each point each at a time using the 1-, 2- etc... I
like it so much that I use it every time and would love to automatize
it. I found the command:

\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{+-}

whihc does that, but only inside a frame. If I write it in the
preamble, it does not affect anything...

I would love this command to be effective for all frames. Do I need to
redefine frame or is there something easier? Thanks!

PDF preview on Windows

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all, I have a problem when Lyx tries to render a preview of a PDF
figure. Some of my figures it handles well and the preview is shown. I
have included some new plots made with R using either pdf of
cairo_pdf and even if the document compiles perfectly, the preview
shows Error converting to loadable format,

I'm on Windows XP using Lyx 1.6.3.

Thanks in advance.

Preamble in fixed width font?

Hi

is it possible to see the preamble in a fixed width font?
Especially when the preamble is longer, it would make it easier redable.

Cheers,

Environment description: including two first words

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hi

My question seems not so complicated but I did not find on the archives..

I want to use  the enviro description with on one line thw frist two
words (instead of the first one by default) included, as:

\begin{description}
\item [world] it is...
\item [Earth and sun] that is...
\end{description}

Can I do in Lyx or do I have to use it in TeX code mode?

Thanks a lot!

How to remove figure numbers in KOMA-script book?

[gerlos]

Hello everyone!
In the last weeks I started to use LyX, and found it very good. A long time ago 
I used 
LaTeX for a while, but I forget almost everything I learned a that time :-(
So sorry for the silly question...

Now I'm using LyX to write a book, and I'm using the KOMA-script book class. 
Here and there in the book I added some figures, but I'd like to remove the 
text like Figure 12.3 beside the caption (but still need a caption there), 
do you know if it's possible?
How can I do it?

I googled for a while but didn't find anything useful :-(
I also looked around in LyX and didn't found anything that seemed related... 
maybe needs some LaTeX magic?

Thanks in advance
gerlos

It is difficult to debug without your bib file. The main problem seems to be
that there is a need for an extra bibtex run on your file.



You should take away the :



\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}



from your preamble. They are useless (you should choose the language and the

font with the LyX interface) and mess with biblatex.


You also have to download and install the csquotes latex package. I think
there are instructions on the Wiki and then add in your preamble the
following line :



\usepackage[style=french]{csquotes}



Thanks Charles, I've taken away the first two lines, now Bibliographie title 
appears as the good French word...
I use the TeXlive packages for Ubuntu 9.04: csquotes package is an outdated 
version.
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-extra/+bug/433493)
I've tried to install the new one, as the readme csquotes package tells, but doesn't work yet: 
the outdated one should be found first by both Latex and Lyx, and I don't know how I could uninstall it.

I will try!

I don't think you have to uninstall it.

Download from CTAN the latest version of csquotes and then as root expand it 
in :

/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/

you will get a csquotes directory with all the files.

Then run as root texhash to refresh the LaTeX database

LaTeX (and LyX) will then pick up the latest version

All this stuff is going to get much easier with the new version of TeXLive 
which will have an automatic installer of new packages but it is not there 
yet in Debian and Ubuntu

Cheers,
Charles

I don't know about this, but you could try looking in the koma-script

Re: authorindex in LyX?

[Manveru]

2009/10/24 Mats Andrén mats.and...@ling.lu.se:
 Sorry to be spamming but after sending my post I realized that it was a
 bit strange of me not to try what would happen without the multicols
 begin/end-pair, and just call \printauthorindex. When I remove the multi
 column stuff, no extra two pages are generated, which should probably be
 relevant for you people...

 But the main problem remains, of course.

What I can tell you about LyX is that it cannot run additional scripts
during LaTeX processing yet. And probably will not, as I it should
assume you have perl installed on your machine, which is often a
problem on Macs or Windows.

There are possible solutions to create your own converter calling the
perl script after first latex run. But you have then define your own
format, for example 'pdflatex (authorindex)'.

Unfortunately in such case you probably have to put absolute path of

This is due to fact that LyX copies all the stuff into temporary

your bibliography is in the note.

Float/figures width

[ColMatrix]

Hi there,

Just started dabbling with LaTex and Lyx. I understand how to format a
figure in LaTex, for example, to have my diagram the same width as the
column of text, I type something like:

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

or to get it x% of the column width

\includegraphics[width=x\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

But how do I do this in Lyx?

Also, I'd like to know how to get, for example, two separate figures side by
side, each 50% (or less) the width of the column of text. Would it be
possible for Lyx to label them Figure 1(a) and (b) automagically?

I tried searching for an answer, but didn't find anything I could
understand. I hope you can help!

Thanks in advance!

  Assuming you have your figures in floats, click on the figure itself and
the graphics dialog box opens. It has three tabs: Graphics, Clipping, and
LaTeX and LyX.

  The middle box on the Graphics tab lets you adjust the width of the figure
on output. You can also change the displayed width.

  I'm sure there's something in one of the tutorials or user guides on this.

 You could try looking at the log files that are generated with each

Encapsulated PostScript

[Rich Shepard]

  The ps2epsi tool converts a .ps file to a .epsi file. According to the man
page, the difference between .eps and .epsi is, ps2epsi uses gs(1) to
process a PostScript(tm) file and generate as output a new file which
conforms to Adobe's Encapsulated PostScript Interchange (EPSI) format. EPSI
is a special form of encapsulated PostScript (EPS) which adds to the
beginning of the file in the form of PostScript comments a bitmapped version
of the final displayed page. Programs which understand EPSI (usually word
processors or DTP programs) can use this bitmap to give a preview version on
screen of the PostScript. The displayed quality is often not very good
(e.g., low resolution, no colours), but the final printed version uses the
real PostScript, and thus has the normal PostScript quality.

  I used to prepare my lyx figures with xfig that produces .eps by default.
However, PSTricks produces a .ps file that needs to be converted. Will LyX
accept the .epsi format without complaints?

free Palatino Sans?

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
I am trying to figure which Sans and Typewritter fonts to use in
combination with Palatino (or the TeX Gyre Pagella extension).

In an incidental discussion on the ML [1], the non-free Palatino Sans
typeface [2] was suggested. I am wondering whether any free versions
of Palatino Sans exist and whether there are some other sans fonts
that blend well with Palatino.

Please let me know your suggestions

Liviu,

  That's an interesting question. I use Palatino as my default typeface and
leave the sans and typewriter choices as 'default.' It has never been an
issue for me because Palatino is a serifed typeface and I had not assumed
that there was a san-serif version. In my documents I don't use a sans-serif
typeface, and the incidental code can be in any monospace typeface.

Thank you a lot for the explanations. I looked for Syntax (and for

I think I found a good candidate. Looking on Wikipedia for Humanist

Beamer class: how to use \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification?

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hi

In beamer class, I like the itemize environment with the possibility
to display each point each at a time using the 1-, 2- etc... I
like it so much that I use it every time and would love to automatize
it. I found the command:

\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{+-}

whihc does that, but only inside a frame. If I write it in the
preamble, it does not affect anything...

I would love this command to be effective for all frames. Do I need to
redefine frame or is there something easier? Thanks!

PDF preview on Windows

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all, I have a problem when Lyx tries to render a preview of a PDF
figure. Some of my figures it handles well and the preview is shown. I
have included some new plots made with R using either pdf of
cairo_pdf and even if the document compiles perfectly, the preview
shows Error converting to loadable format,

I'm on Windows XP using Lyx 1.6.3.

How to remove figure numbers in KOMA-script book?

[gerlos]

Hello everyone!
In the last weeks I started to use LyX, and found it very good. A long time ago 
I used 
LaTeX for a while, but I forget almost everything I learned a that time :-(
So sorry for the silly question...

Now I'm using LyX to write a book, and I'm using the KOMA-script book class. 
Here and there in the book I added some figures, but I'd like to remove the 
text like Figure 12.3 beside the caption (but still need a caption there), 
do you know if it's possible?
How can I do it?

I googled for a while but didn't find anything useful :-(
I also looked around in LyX and didn't found anything that seemed related... 
maybe needs some LaTeX magic?

Thanks in advance
gerlos

It is difficult to debug without your bib file. The main problem seems to be
that there is a need for an extra bibtex run on your file.



You should take away the :



\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}



from your preamble. They are useless (you should choose the language and the

font with the LyX interface) and mess with biblatex.


You also have to download and install the csquotes latex package. I think
there are instructions on the Wiki and then add in your preamble the
following line :



\usepackage[style=french]{csquotes}



Thanks Charles, I've taken away the first two lines, now Bibliographie title

I don't think you have to uninstall it.

Download from CTAN the latest version of csquotes and then as root expand it 
in :

/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/

you will get a csquotes directory with all the files.

Then run as root texhash to refresh the LaTeX database

LaTeX (and LyX) will then pick up the latest version

All this stuff is going to get much easier with the new version of TeXLive 
which will have an automatic installer of new packages but it is not there 
yet in Debian and Ubuntu

I don't know about this, but you could try looking in the koma-script

Re: authorindex in LyX?

[Manveru]

2009/10/24 Mats Andrén mats.and...@ling.lu.se:
 Sorry to be spamming but after sending my post I realized that it was a
 bit strange of me not to try what would happen without the multicols
 begin/end-pair, and just call \printauthorindex. When I remove the multi
 column stuff, no extra two pages are generated, which should probably be
 relevant for you people...

 But the main problem remains, of course.

What I can tell you about LyX is that it cannot run additional scripts
during LaTeX processing yet. And probably will not, as I it should
assume you have perl installed on your machine, which is often a
problem on Macs or Windows.

There are possible solutions to create your own converter calling the
perl script after first latex run. But you have then define your own
format, for example 'pdflatex (authorindex)'.

This is due to fact that LyX copies all the stuff into temporary

Float/figures width

[ColMatrix]

Hi there,

Just started dabbling with LaTex and Lyx. I understand how to format a
figure in LaTex, for example, to have my diagram the same width as the
column of text, I type something like:

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

or to get it x% of the column width

\includegraphics[width=x\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

But how do I do this in Lyx?

Also, I'd like to know how to get, for example, two separate figures side by
side, each 50% (or less) the width of the column of text. Would it be
possible for Lyx to label them Figure 1(a) and (b) automagically?

I tried searching for an answer, but didn't find anything I could
understand. I hope you can help!

Thanks in advance!

  Assuming you have your figures in floats, click on the figure itself and
the graphics dialog box opens. It has three tabs: Graphics, Clipping, and
LaTeX and LyX.

  The middle box on the Graphics tab lets you adjust the width of the figure
on output. You can also change the displayed width.

  I'm sure there's something in one of the tutorials or user guides on this.

 You could try looking at the log files that are generated with each
 run of pdflatex. That can pin point the exact point where the
 conversion fails.
 I had a similar problem, and the log files helped a lot.

Re: Float/figures width

[James C. Sutherland]

I suggest that you look at the user manual that comes with LyX:
Help - User's Guide
Help - Embedded Objects
All of your questions should be answered there.

Hi there,

Just started dabbling with LaTex and Lyx. I understand how to format a
figure in LaTex, for example, to have my diagram the same width as the
column of text, I type something like:

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

or to get it x% of the column width

\includegraphics[width=x\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

But how do I do this in Lyx?

Also, I'd like to know how to get, for example, two separate figures  
side by

side, each 50% (or less) the width of the column of text. Would it be
possible for Lyx to label them Figure 1(a) and (b) automagically?

I tried searching for an answer, but didn't find anything I could
understand. I hope you can help!

Thanks in advance!

Re: Tufte-book Layout File

Very commendable undertaking! I would be very glad, if we got a well

I'm not the one who can help with that. But I tried to run LyX with your

Re: something wrong with biblatex

Thanks Charles for your help.
So, I think I have the good packages now -- both biblatex and csquotes 
were said outdated in the log file, now it's ok.
But my dvi / pdf file remains with... no references.  It seems to be a 
problem with my bib file, as you suggest first... but I don't understand 
the LateX language!
Here are the last log file, bib file and pdf result... thanks a lot if 
you could have a look...

Encapsulated PostScript

[Rich Shepard]

  The ps2epsi tool converts a .ps file to a .epsi file. According to the man
page, the difference between .eps and .epsi is, ps2epsi uses gs(1) to
process a PostScript(tm) file and generate as output a new file which
conforms to Adobe's Encapsulated PostScript Interchange (EPSI) format. EPSI
is a special form of encapsulated PostScript (EPS) which adds to the
beginning of the file in the form of PostScript comments a bitmapped version
of the final displayed page. Programs which understand EPSI (usually word
processors or DTP programs) can use this bitmap to give a preview version on
screen of the PostScript. The displayed quality is often not very good
(e.g., low resolution, no colours), but the final printed version uses the
real PostScript, and thus has the normal PostScript quality.

  I used to prepare my lyx figures with xfig that produces .eps by default.
However, PSTricks produces a .ps file that needs to be converted. Will LyX
accept the .epsi format without complaints?

free Palatino Sans?

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
I am trying to figure which Sans and Typewritter fonts to use in
combination with Palatino (or the TeX Gyre Pagella extension).

In an incidental discussion on the ML [1], the non-free Palatino Sans
typeface [2] was suggested. I am wondering whether any free versions
of Palatino Sans exist and whether there are some other sans fonts
that blend well with Palatino.

Please let me know your suggestions

Liviu,

  That's an interesting question. I use Palatino as my default typeface and
leave the sans and typewriter choices as 'default.' It has never been an
issue for me because Palatino is a serifed typeface and I had not assumed
that there was a san-serif version. In my documents I don't use a sans-serif
typeface, and the incidental code can be in any monospace typeface.

I'm not a graphics person so I don't easily see the subtle distinctions that

Thank you a lot for the explanations. I looked for Syntax (and for

Should I be looking for some different name?

I think I found a good candidate. Looking on Wikipedia for Humanist

Beamer class: how to use \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification?

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hi

In beamer class, I like the itemize environment with the possibility
to display each point each at a time using the <1->, <2-> etc... I
like it so much that I use it every time and would love to automatize
it. I found the command:

\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}

whihc does that, but only inside a frame. If I write it in the
preamble, it does not affect anything...

I would love this command to be effective for all frames. Do I need to
redefine frame or is there something easier? Thanks!

How to remove figure numbers in KOMA-script book?

[gerlos]

Hello everyone!
In the last weeks I started to use LyX, and found it very good. A long time ago 
I used 
LaTeX for a while, but I forget almost everything I learned a that time :-(
So sorry for the silly question...

Now I'm using LyX to write a book, and I'm using the KOMA-script book class. 
Here and there in the book I added some figures, but I'd like to remove the 
text like "Figure 12.3" beside the caption (but still need a caption there), 
do you know if it's possible?
How can I do it?

I googled for a while but didn't find anything useful :-(
I also looked around in LyX and didn't found anything that seemed related... 
maybe needs some LaTeX magic?

Thanks in advance

It is difficult to debug without your bib file. The main problem seems to be
that there is a need for an extra bibtex run on your file.



You should take away the :



\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}



from your preamble. They are useless (you should choose the language and the

font with the LyX interface) and mess with biblatex.


You also have to download and install the csquotes latex package. I think
there are instructions on the Wiki and then add in your preamble the
following line :



\usepackage[style=french]{csquotes}



Thanks Charles, I've taken away the first two lines, now "Bibliographie" title 
appears as the good French word...
I use the TeXlive packages for Ubuntu 9.04: csquotes package is an outdated 
version.
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-extra/+bug/433493)
I've tried to install the new one, as the readme csquotes package tells, but doesn't work yet:

I will try!

I don't think you have to uninstall it.

Download from CTAN the latest version of csquotes and then as root expand it 
in :

/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/

you will get a csquotes directory with all the files.

Then run as root texhash to refresh the LaTeX database

LaTeX (and LyX) will then pick up the latest version

All this stuff is going to get much easier with the new version of TeXLive 
which will have an automatic installer of new packages but it is not there 
yet in Debian and Ubuntu

Cheers,
Charles

I don't know about this, but you could try looking in the koma-script

\renewcommand\thefigure{}, in the preamble. I think something like that

What I can tell you about LyX is that it cannot run additional scripts
during LaTeX processing yet. And probably will not, as I it should
assume you have perl installed on your machine, which is often a
problem on Macs or Windows.

There are possible solutions to create your own converter calling the
perl script after first latex run. But you have then define your own
format, for example 'pdflatex (authorindex)'.

Unfortunately in such case you probably have to put absolute path of
you bib file.

This is due to fact that LyX copies all the stuff into temporary
directory before latex is run, and it may not copy your .bib file if
your bibliography is in the note.

Float/figures width

[ColMatrix]

Hi there,

Just started dabbling with LaTex and Lyx. I understand how to format a
figure in LaTex, for example, to have my diagram the same width as the
column of text, I type something like:

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

or to get it x% of the column width

\includegraphics[width=x\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

But how do I do this in Lyx?

Also, I'd like to know how to get, for example, two separate figures side by
side, each 50% (or less) the width of the column of text. Would it be
possible for Lyx to label them Figure 1(a) and (b) automagically?

I tried searching for an answer, but didn't find anything I could
understand. I hope you can help!

Thanks in advance!

This time I tried jurabib & \nobibliography{/full/path/refs-sri.bib} &
bibliography-in-note, and the document compiles fine, but all the
references are still "?". I still cannot manage to use LyX's
facilities for inserting in-line citations, but hide the references
list.

  Assuming you have your figures in floats, click on the figure itself and
the graphics dialog box opens. It has three tabs: Graphics, Clipping, and
LaTeX and LyX.

  The middle box on the Graphics tab lets you adjust the width of the figure
on output. You can also change the displayed width.

  I'm sure there's something in one of the tutorials or user guides on this.

I use it on windows, and on my system it is in the tmp dir of the user

You may try it in /tmp or /usr/tmp.
On my system it is called lyx_tmpdir.qHp976 and so on.

Hope this helps.

I suggest that you look at the user manual that comes with LyX:

Encapsulated PostScript

[Rich Shepard]

  The ps2epsi tool converts a .ps file to a .epsi file. According to the man
page, the difference between .eps and .epsi is, "ps2epsi uses gs(1) to
process a PostScript(tm) file and generate as output a new file which
conforms to Adobe's Encapsulated PostScript Interchange (EPSI) format. EPSI
is a special form of encapsulated PostScript (EPS) which adds to the
beginning of the file in the form of PostScript comments a bitmapped version
of the final displayed page. Programs which understand EPSI (usually word
processors or DTP programs) can use this bitmap to give a preview version on
screen of the PostScript. The displayed quality is often not very good
(e.g., low resolution, no colours), but the final printed version uses the
real PostScript, and thus has the normal PostScript quality."

  I used to prepare my lyx figures with xfig that produces .eps by default.
However, PSTricks produces a .ps file that needs to be converted. Will LyX
accept the .epsi format without complaints?

free Palatino Sans?

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
I am trying to figure which Sans and Typewritter fonts to use in
combination with Palatino (or the TeX Gyre Pagella extension).

In an incidental discussion on the ML [1], the non-free Palatino Sans
typeface [2] was suggested. I am wondering whether any free versions
of Palatino Sans exist and whether there are some other sans fonts
that blend well with Palatino.

Please let me know your suggestions

Liviu,

  That's an interesting question. I use Palatino as my default typeface and
leave the sans and typewriter choices as 'default.' It has never been an
issue for me because Palatino is a serifed typeface and I had not assumed
that there was a san-serif version. In my documents I don't use a sans-serif
typeface, and the incidental code can be in any monospace typeface.

Thank you a lot for the explanations. I looked for Syntax (and for
other possible names suggested by Wikipedia, "Humanist 531" and
"Saxony") on the TeX Font Catalogue [1], but did not find anything.
Should I be looking for some different name?

I think I found a good candidate. Looking on Wikipedia for Humanist
fonts [1], I stumbled upon Optima, originally designed by H. Zapf. The
Font Catalogue provides a clone  called URW Classico [2]. It is
shipped with TeX Live.
