Re: Symbols panel with my symbols

Hi


Is it possible to create a new symbols panel or toolbar with the buttons 
for frequently used symbols ?


Where can I find instructions on this topic ?


http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface

You can try safely quite easily in LyX: the default files are in the 
system folder(*) and your custom files (interface definition, 
preferences, ...) are in your home folder(**). So if you mess up 
something with your trials, delete them and you get the defaults back.


What you want is to look at the files in the system ui folder 
(default.ui, stdtoolbars.inc) for inspiration. Also have a look at 
the file at

http://lyx-toolbar.atspace.org/
It's for 1.5, but it works for 1.6 (may need a few changes to be 100% 
correct).


You put your modified ui in inc files in your ui folder and if they have 
the same name, that should be enough.


Best regards,

Olivier

gnuplot in Lyx not working?

[Peter Kint]

Hi,

I'm trying to make mathematical graphs in my Lyx documents.

In the pgf/tikz manual on p 224 is the following code/example:

\begin{tikzpicture}[domain=0:4]
  \draw[very thin,color=gray] (-0.1,-1.1) grid (3.9,3.9);
  \draw[-] (-0.2,0) -- (4.2,0) node[right] {$x$};
  \draw[-] (0,-1.2) -- (0,4.2) node[above] {$f(x)$};
  \draw[color=red]plot[id=x]   function{x}   node[right] {$f(x) 
=x$};
  \draw[color=blue]   plot[id=sin] function{sin(x)}   node[right] {$f(x) = 
\sin x$};
  \draw[color=orange] plot[id=exp] function{0.05*exp(x)} node[right] {$f(x) = 
\frac{1}{20} \mathrm e^x$};
\end{tikzpicture}


When I include it in a box in my Lyx document (InsertFileChild Document) I 
get a very incomplete and crippled output.

How can I get this working properly??

Thx for reading.

How does Lyx remember certain things?

[danielpferreira]

Hi!
I'm a new user and I'm getting some strange behaviour in Lyx.

I'm creating a BibTex file (using JabRef) and including it in Lyx. It's all
working fine (it shows up in the DIV file, it allows referencing, etc).

But sometimes a certain entry in the .bib file generates some bug and Lyx
can't compile the DIV preview (BTW, I dont really understand the error
messages Lyx shows me - or how/where to fix my code based on them, but I'll
leave that to another post). So I undo the last thing I've done in the .bib
file, wich theorically would restore me to a stable situation.

BUT lyx continues giving the same error message. SOmetimes I even exclude
from the .bib file the whole entry that gave the problem in the first place,
but lyx continues giving errors (oddly, in the error message, it shows some
code that i THINK shouldnt even exist anymore, since I deleted the
offfending entry).

The only way this is solved is if I close and reopen the .lyx file. It
looks like this is necessary to make Lyx forget about what happened...

Anyways, I guess my questions are:
1) Did my explanation make sense? :)
2) Is this a known behaviour/bug in Lyx?
3) If this is a bug, how can I fix it?

Keep in mind I'm not a programmer, and I'm new to Lyx, Latex, bibtex,
jabref, etc..
I'm one of the few (I guess) art students trying to  use LaTex to write a
thesis.

Thanks in advance (and sorry about my weak english).

The most common erroneous situation with BibTeX is to using some
non-ascii character in the BibTeX enty - JabRef allows this, but this
is not correct as BibTeX was/is/will be unable to handle that.

Re: LyX Server on XP?

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thank you very much Siegfried!
That works with a small correction:
In Jabref, I had to put \\.\pipe\lyxserver.in
given that in LyX I have used your suggestion below \\.\pipe\lyxserver

Regards,

Murat

2009/12/9 Siegfried Meunier-Guttin-Cluzel meun...@coria.fr:
 I work on Windows XP pro with the last version 1.6.5 from the alt installer.

 Here what I did :
 ToolsPreferencesDirectories
 Lyxserver :
 \\.\pipe\lyxserver
 In JabRef :
 OptionsPreferences
 There's a button to configure the lyx server
 I put
 \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.in

 The \\.\pipe\lyxpipe is a notation in Windows to use a named pipe, so I
 don't think there's really a directory attached to this object.

 Now, I can use the Lyx button of JabRef to automatically insert a reference
 into my Lyx document.

 Hope it helps.

Hi there,

I've just discovered this problem myself after an update from LyX 1.6.4 to
1.6.5

I tried to use a template: new from template on the file menu and got a
warning that whatever  I was trying to do would not output as the  layout
class was not available.

I did  a search on my windows box for *.layout and found 165 (a coincidence
of numeration there! Lyx1.6.5 and 165 files) layout files in this folder:

your root drive:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.5\Resources\layouts

I tried this:

new from template svmono_book.lyx

blah blah blah ...LyX will not be able to produce output. Template then
finishes loading. 

Go to tools document settings in your usual way.
click layout button and navigate to your root drive:\Program Files\LyX
1.6.5\Resources\layouts and choose related layout. In my case it was
svmono.layout

I got another pile of warnings saying I had chosen a layout that was not
part of the system files and that probably my machine would explode - the
last bit is not true.

But what I can't fathom is this. The .layout files are quite clearly part of
the default installation and quite clearly belong to the great swathe of
unavailable classes seen on the documents settings.

I haven't seen this happen before and I am unhappy about it.

The workaround I have found is unacceptable as I shouldn't be receiving
warnings about things that are visible within system folders not being
there.

I do wish someone else could explain this,

wurmglow

problem opening lyx file

[Martin Sladeczek]

Hello Lyx Team,

i am writing a quite important thesis at the moment. When I try to open my lyx 
file there is the following error message: 
C:/.../Hausarbeit Lourdes.lyx ist kein lesbares Lyx-Dokument.. In the mail 
archive i have seen, that you could help somebody with the same problem 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg74655.html). It worked 
for many times and i am a bit agitated now because i have to hand it in in a 
several days. I changed nothing, just saved, shut down, started up the pc, 
launched lyx.
I hope your are able to help me, i attached the document,

thanking you in anticipation

Re: The layout file requested by this document is not usable.

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

I've just discovered this problem myself after an update from LyX 1.6.4 to
1.6.5


But what I can't fathom is this. The .layout files are quite clearly part of
the default installation and quite clearly belong to the great swathe of
unavailable classes seen on the documents settings.
  


A lot of these classes are supplied by publishers. We only include the 
layout files for those classes to ease the use of them. It's not our 
task to distribute third-party classes.


So, if you want to use svmono.layout you need to download the class file 
from the Springer website:


ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/svmonogl/styles/svmono.cls

I install this file in the directory:

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex\svmono (don't know whether that's 
the best place)


Then, you start MiKTeX Settings and choose to refresh the file name 
database (FNDB).


After that you can Reconfigure LyX with Tools-Reconfigure.

Now you can use the book (Springer svmono) document class and the 
template.

I haven't seen this happen before and I am unhappy about it.

  

In that case, I would suggest to use a document class which is available.


I do wish someone else could explain this,

A lyx layout file is just a file that describes how a given LaTeX 
(svmono.cls) class file behaves. This is needed because LyX relies on
LaTeX to do the output. So what LyX tries to do (but without success, it 
seems) is to tell you that you will not be able to produce useful

output.

My guess is that your LaTeX (miktex) installation is broken in some
way. Did you have an active network connection when you installed LyX?
This is needed on windows, so that it downloads all missing stuff for
you.

Subfloats alignment

[Anders Host-Madsen]

I have two figures of different height that I want side-by-side.
I use subfloats.
LyX (and Latex) always aligns them at the bottom edge. How
can I align them at the top edge (or center them)? I have tried
to insert vspace on either side, but it has no effect. Any
suggestions?

Re: Subfloats alignment

I have two figures of different height that I want side-by-side.
I use subfloats.
LyX (and Latex) always aligns them at the bottom edge. How
can I align them at the top edge (or center them)?


This is tricky. I found no better solution than by using a table cell for each 
subfloat.
Please try out the attached file (replace the box with an image) and report 
back if this works.

Hi


Is it possible to create a new symbols panel or toolbar with the buttons

Where can I find instructions on this topic ?


http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface

You can try safely quite easily in LyX: the default files are in the 
system folder(*) and your custom files (interface definition, 
preferences, ...) are in your home folder(**). So if you mess up 
something with your trials, delete them and you get the defaults back.


What you want is to look at the files in the system ui folder 
(default.ui, stdtoolbars.inc) for inspiration. Also have a look at 
the file at

http://lyx-toolbar.atspace.org/
It's for 1.5, but it works for 1.6 (may need a few changes to be 100% 
correct).


You put your modified ui in inc files in your ui folder and if they have 
the same name, that should be enough.

gnuplot in Lyx not working?

[Peter Kint]

Hi,

I'm trying to make mathematical graphs in my Lyx documents.

In the pgf/tikz manual on p 224 is the following code/example:

\begin{tikzpicture}[domain=0:4]
  \draw[very thin,color=gray] (-0.1,-1.1) grid (3.9,3.9);
  \draw[-] (-0.2,0) -- (4.2,0) node[right] {$x$};
  \draw[-] (0,-1.2) -- (0,4.2) node[above] {$f(x)$};
  \draw[color=red]plot[id=x]   function{x}   node[right] {$f(x) 
=x$};
  \draw[color=blue]   plot[id=sin] function{sin(x)}   node[right] {$f(x) = 
\sin x$};
  \draw[color=orange] plot[id=exp] function{0.05*exp(x)} node[right] {$f(x) = 
\frac{1}{20} \mathrm e^x$};
\end{tikzpicture}


When I include it in a box in my Lyx document (InsertFileChild Document) I 
get a very incomplete and crippled output.

How can I get this working properly??

Thx for reading.

How does Lyx remember certain things?

[danielpferreira]

Hi!
I'm a new user and I'm getting some strange behaviour in Lyx.

I'm creating a BibTex file (using JabRef) and including it in Lyx. It's all
working fine (it shows up in the DIV file, it allows referencing, etc).

But sometimes a certain entry in the .bib file generates some bug and Lyx
can't compile the DIV preview (BTW, I dont really understand the error
messages Lyx shows me - or how/where to fix my code based on them, but I'll
leave that to another post). So I undo the last thing I've done in the .bib
file, wich theorically would restore me to a stable situation.

BUT lyx continues giving the same error message. SOmetimes I even exclude
from the .bib file the whole entry that gave the problem in the first place,
but lyx continues giving errors (oddly, in the error message, it shows some
code that i THINK shouldnt even exist anymore, since I deleted the
offfending entry).

The only way this is solved is if I close and reopen the .lyx file. It
looks like this is necessary to make Lyx forget about what happened...

Anyways, I guess my questions are:
1) Did my explanation make sense? :)
2) Is this a known behaviour/bug in Lyx?
3) If this is a bug, how can I fix it?

Keep in mind I'm not a programmer, and I'm new to Lyx, Latex, bibtex,
jabref, etc..
I'm one of the few (I guess) art students trying to  use LaTex to write a
thesis.

Thanks in advance (and sorry about my weak english).

A similar thing happened to me some time ago and it turned out that I

The reason this kind of thing happens is because LyX generates a bunch

that the old temporaries don't get over-written, or LaTeX itself is 
still using some old aux file, etc. These are bugs, but also a fact of

The most common erroneous situation with BibTeX is to using some
non-ascii character in the BibTeX enty - JabRef allows this, but this
is not correct as BibTeX was/is/will be unable to handle that.

Re: LyX Server on XP?

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thank you very much Siegfried!
That works with a small correction:
In Jabref, I had to put \\.\pipe\lyxserver.in
given that in LyX I have used your suggestion below \\.\pipe\lyxserver

Regards,

Murat

2009/12/9 Siegfried Meunier-Guttin-Cluzel meun...@coria.fr:
 I work on Windows XP pro with the last version 1.6.5 from the alt installer.

 Here what I did :
 ToolsPreferencesDirectories
 Lyxserver :
 \\.\pipe\lyxserver
 In JabRef :
 OptionsPreferences
 There's a button to configure the lyx server
 I put
 \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.in

 The \\.\pipe\lyxpipe is a notation in Windows to use a named pipe, so I
 don't think there's really a directory attached to this object.

 Now, I can use the Lyx button of JabRef to automatically insert a reference
 into my Lyx document.

 Hope it helps.

 Siegfried.

 Wow! So simple? If this is the problem, so let we know, for:

 The most inconceivable is why, when we download and install huge ammounts

 It should be a test of this (layout) features prior to distribute these

Hi there,

I've just discovered this problem myself after an update from LyX 1.6.4 to
1.6.5

I tried to use a template: new from template on the file menu and got a
warning that whatever  I was trying to do would not output as the  layout
class was not available.

I did  a search on my windows box for *.layout and found 165 (a coincidence
of numeration there! Lyx1.6.5 and 165 files) layout files in this folder:

your root drive:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.5\Resources\layouts

I tried this:

new from template svmono_book.lyx

blah blah blah ...LyX will not be able to produce output. Template then
finishes loading. 

Go to tools document settings in your usual way.
click layout button and navigate to your root drive:\Program Files\LyX
1.6.5\Resources\layouts and choose related layout. In my case it was
svmono.layout

I got another pile of warnings saying I had chosen a layout that was not
part of the system files and that probably my machine would explode - the
last bit is not true.

But what I can't fathom is this. The .layout files are quite clearly part of
the default installation and quite clearly belong to the great swathe of
unavailable classes seen on the documents settings.

I haven't seen this happen before and I am unhappy about it.

The workaround I have found is unacceptable as I shouldn't be receiving
warnings about things that are visible within system folders not being
there.

I do wish someone else could explain this,

wurmglow

problem opening lyx file

[Martin Sladeczek]

Hello Lyx Team,

i am writing a quite important thesis at the moment. When I try to open my lyx 
file there is the following error message: 
C:/.../Hausarbeit Lourdes.lyx ist kein lesbares Lyx-Dokument.. In the mail 
archive i have seen, that you could help somebody with the same problem 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg74655.html). It worked 
for many times and i am a bit agitated now because i have to hand it in in a 
several days. I changed nothing, just saved, shut down, started up the pc, 
launched lyx.
I hope your are able to help me, i attached the document,

thanking you in anticipation

But what I can't fathom is this. The .layout files are quite clearly part of
the default installation and quite clearly belong to the great swathe of

A lot of these classes are supplied by publishers. We only include the 
layout files for those classes to ease the use of them. It's not our 
task to distribute third-party classes.


So, if you want to use svmono.layout you need to download the class file 
from the Springer website:


ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/svmonogl/styles/svmono.cls

I install this file in the directory:

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex\svmono (don't know whether that's 
the best place)


Then, you start MiKTeX Settings and choose to refresh the file name 
database (FNDB).


After that you can Reconfigure LyX with Tools-Reconfigure.

Now you can use the book (Springer svmono) document class and the 
template.

I haven't seen this happen before and I am unhappy about it.

  

In that case, I would suggest to use a document class which is available.


I do wish someone else could explain this,

A lyx layout file is just a file that describes how a given LaTeX 
(svmono.cls) class file behaves. This is needed because LyX relies on
LaTeX to do the output. So what LyX tries to do (but without success, it 
seems) is to tell you that you will not be able to produce useful

output.

My guess is that your LaTeX (miktex) installation is broken in some
way. Did you have an active network connection when you installed LyX?
This is needed on windows, so that it downloads all missing stuff for
you.

Subfloats alignment

[Anders Host-Madsen]

I have two figures of different height that I want side-by-side.
I use subfloats.
LyX (and Latex) always aligns them at the bottom edge. How
can I align them at the top edge (or center them)? I have tried
to insert vspace on either side, but it has no effect. Any
suggestions?

This is tricky. I found no better solution than by using a table cell for each 
subfloat.
Please try out the attached file (replace the box with an image) and report

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface

You can try safely quite easily in LyX: the default files are in the 
system folder(*) and your custom files (interface definition, 
preferences, ...) are in your home folder(**). So if you mess up 
something with your trials, delete them and you get the defaults back.


What you want is to look at the files in the system "ui" folder 
("default.ui", "stdtoolbars.inc") for inspiration. Also have a look at 
the file at

http://lyx-toolbar.atspace.org/
It's for 1.5, but it works for 1.6 (may need a few changes to be 100% 
correct).


You put your modified ui in inc files in your ui folder and if they have 
the same name, that should be enough.

gnuplot in Lyx not working?

[Peter Kint]

Hi,

I'm trying to make mathematical graphs in my Lyx documents.

In the pgf/tikz manual on p 224 is the following code/example:

\begin{tikzpicture}[domain=0:4]
  \draw[very thin,color=gray] (-0.1,-1.1) grid (3.9,3.9);
  \draw[->] (-0.2,0) -- (4.2,0) node[right] {$x$};
  \draw[->] (0,-1.2) -- (0,4.2) node[above] {$f(x)$};
  \draw[color=red]plot[id=x]   function{x}   node[right] {$f(x) 
=x$};
  \draw[color=blue]   plot[id=sin] function{sin(x)}   node[right] {$f(x) = 
\sin x$};
  \draw[color=orange] plot[id=exp] function{0.05*exp(x)} node[right] {$f(x) = 
\frac{1}{20} \mathrm e^x$};
\end{tikzpicture}


When I include it in a box in my Lyx document (Insert>File>Child Document) I 
get a very incomplete and crippled output.

How can I get this working properly??

Thx for reading.

How does Lyx "remember" certain things?

[danielpferreira]

Hi!
I'm a new user and I'm getting some strange behaviour in Lyx.

I'm creating a BibTex file (using JabRef) and including it in Lyx. It's all
working fine (it shows up in the DIV file, it allows referencing, etc).

But sometimes a certain entry in the .bib file generates some bug and Lyx
can't compile the DIV preview (BTW, I dont really understand the error
messages Lyx shows me - or how/where to fix my code based on them, but I'll
leave that to another post). So I undo the last thing I've done in the .bib
file, wich theorically would restore me to a stable situation.

BUT lyx continues giving the same error message. SOmetimes I even exclude
from the .bib file the whole entry that gave the problem in the first place,
but lyx continues giving errors (oddly, in the error message, it shows some
code that i THINK shouldnt even exist anymore, since I deleted the
offfending entry).

The only way this is "solved" is if I close and reopen the .lyx file. It
looks like this is necessary to make Lyx "forget" about what happened...

Anyways, I guess my questions are:
1) Did my explanation make sense? :)
2) Is this a known behaviour/bug in Lyx?
3) If this is a bug, how can I fix it?

Keep in mind I'm not a programmer, and I'm new to Lyx, Latex, bibtex,
jabref, etc..
I'm one of the few (I guess) art students trying to  use LaTex to write a
thesis.

Thanks in advance (and sorry about my weak english).

A similar thing happened to me some time ago and it turned out that I 
was ammending not the bibtex file that LyX was using, but a backup.


I know I'm sillier than many, but, just in case, make sure you are 
ammending the bibtex file LyX is using :)

Putting this in the preamble and including the tikz code from your previous

What error messages do you get? Could you post an example file?

The reason this kind of thing happens is because LyX generates a bunch 
of temporary files when it exports DVI, etc, and sometimes it can happen 
that the old temporaries don't get over-written, or LaTeX itself is 
still using some old aux file, etc. These are bugs, but also a fact of 
life

The most common erroneous situation with BibTeX is to using some
non-ascii character in the BibTeX enty - JabRef allows this, but this
is not correct as BibTeX was/is/will be unable to handle that.

what I do in situations like this one is to save the lyx file under a

The output (pdflatex) contains only a grid, x-axis and y-axis, labels printed

Hi there,

I've just discovered this problem myself after an update from LyX 1.6.4 to
1.6.5

I tried to use a template: new from template on the file menu and got a
warning that whatever  I was trying to do would not output as the  layout
class was not available.

I did  a search on my windows box for *.layout and found 165 (a coincidence
of numeration there! Lyx1.6.5 and 165 files) layout files in this folder:

your root drive:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.5\Resources\layouts

I tried this:

new from template svmono_book.lyx

blah blah blah ...LyX will not be able to produce output. Template then
finishes loading. 

Go to tools document settings in your usual way.
click layout button and navigate to your root drive:\Program Files\LyX
1.6.5\Resources\layouts and choose related layout. In my case it was
svmono.layout

I got another pile of warnings saying I had chosen a layout that was not
part of the system files and that probably my machine would explode - the
last bit is not true.

But what I can't fathom is this. The .layout files are quite clearly part of
the default installation and quite clearly belong to the great swathe of
unavailable classes seen on the documents settings.

I haven't seen this happen before and I am unhappy about it.

The workaround I have found is unacceptable as I shouldn't be receiving
warnings about things that are visible within system folders not being
there.

I do wish someone else could explain this,

problem opening lyx file

[Martin Sladeczek]

Hello Lyx Team,

i am writing a quite important thesis at the moment. When I try to open my lyx 
file there is the following error message: 
"C:/.../Hausarbeit Lourdes.lyx ist kein lesbares Lyx-Dokument.". In the mail 
archive i have seen, that you could help somebody with the same problem 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg74655.html). It worked 
for many times and i am a bit agitated now because i have to hand it in in a 
several days. I changed nothing, just saved, shut down, started up the pc, 
launched lyx.
I hope your are able to help me, i attached the document,

thanking you in anticipation

Martin Sladeczek

I've just discovered this problem myself after an update from LyX 1.6.4 to
1.6.5


But what I can't fathom is this. The .layout files are quite clearly part of
the default installation and quite clearly belong to the great swathe of
unavailable classes seen on the documents settings.
  


A lot of these classes are supplied by publishers. We only include the 
layout files for those classes to ease the use of them. It's not our 
task to distribute third-party classes.


So, if you want to use svmono.layout you need to download the class file 
from the Springer website:


ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/svmonogl/styles/svmono.cls

I install this file in the directory:

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex\svmono (don't know whether that's 
the best place)


Then, you start MiKTeX Settings and choose to refresh the file name 
database (FNDB).


After that you can Reconfigure LyX with Tools->Reconfigure.

Now you can use the "book (Springer svmono)" document class and the 
template.

I haven't seen this happen before and I am unhappy about it.

  

In that case, I would suggest to use a document class which is available.


I do wish someone else could explain this,

A lyx layout file is just a file that describes how a given LaTeX 
(svmono.cls) class file behaves. This is needed because LyX relies on
LaTeX to do the output. So what LyX tries to do (but without success, it 
seems) is to tell you that you will not be able to produce useful

output.

My guess is that your LaTeX (miktex) installation is broken in some
way. Did you have an active network connection when you installed LyX?
This is needed on windows, so that it downloads all missing stuff for
you.

Subfloats alignment

[Anders Host-Madsen]

I have two figures of different height that I want side-by-side.
I use subfloats.
LyX (and Latex) always aligns them at the bottom edge. How
can I align them at the top edge (or center them)? I have tried
to insert vspace on either side, but it has no effect. Any
suggestions?

Thank you very much Siegfried!
That works with a small correction:...


Can everybody involved in this thread please do other users the favor and add to our LyX Wiki how a 
LyXServer is set up on Windows?:

This is tricky. I found no better solution than by using a table cell for each 
subfloat.
Please try out the attached file (replace the box with an image) and report 
back if this works.
