 book whether using the Memoir class or the book class (never used Koma).
 
 I'm attaching a template that I have worked on. It's not perfect, but

 As I say, it isn't completely finished, so you will want to check

 Again, there are two schools of though on this, and I haven't used a
 pure LyX approach to building the frontmatter in any recent version

Re: change subject alignment in letter koma-script v.2

Default subject (i.e. beforeopening and untitled) is left justified.
Only the title (if selected) is centered. This can be seen on figure

So I don't really understand your request: do you want the title to
be left justified?
 

   I've attached an example. As you can see, setting
subject=afteropening cause the object to be centered in the page. What

You are right and I don't know how to change that within Lyx. The Latex

problem_with_hypcap_and_figure_environment

[Kamran SHAFQAT]

Hi,

I using lyx1.6.5 with miktex 2.7. I have redefine the figure environment 
so that all the figure are automatically  centred on the page using the 
following code


\renewenvironment{figure}[1][\...@figure]{%

\ed...@tempa{\noexpand\@float{figure}[#1]} %

\...@tempa\centering%

}{%

\...@float

}


while this works fine but I am having problem with hycap now because of 
the redefinition. I can't use hypcap after these statements it gives error



TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].

and when hypcap is used before the environment definition than it 
doesn't work. The figure links just show the figure caption not the 
figure as it suppose to do.


any idea how this could be solved. Thanks for the help.

Kamran

EPS files not displaying in PDF

[Todd Salamon]

I am running Lyx 1.5.7 on Windows XP SP2 with MiKTeX 2.5 installed. I have a
document with PDF and EPS files for figures. The preview shows both, but when I
try View - PDF (pdflatex) the resulting PDF file only includes the PDF
images, and the EPS files show up as empty boxes with nothing inside.

If I export to PostScript and view the *.ps file, the PDF and EPS graphics all
show up fine.

Any idea why this is happening with PDF?


Thanks.

P.S. FYI - in the process of installing Lyx there was an error related to

Error opening file for writing:

Re: EPS files not displaying in PDF

The convert command does work ok. I went ahead and tried

convert filename.eps filename.pdf

The PDF is a bit grainy and unresolved, but there is definitely an image there,
whereas in the document it's an empty bounding box.

I also tried opening filename.eps in Adobe Illustrator and it complained about
the following fonts

CMMI7:

Thanks for responding. But I still can't download either document. The
server times out. And I've tried probably 50 times.

Re: change subject alignment in letter koma-script v.2

[Jean-Marie Pacquet]

Le 14/02/2010 22:49, Giovanni Bacci a écrit :

   domenica 14 febbraio 2010, 22:26, Jean-Marie Pacquet:

   

Default subject (i.e. beforeopening and untitled) is left justified.
Only the title (if selected) is centered. This can be seen on figure
6.1: Schematic of letter paper's pseudo lengths.
So I don't really understand your request: do you want the title to
be left justified?
 

   I've attached an example. As you can see, setting
subject=afteropening cause the object to be centered in the page. What
i'd like to have is a left-aligned subject line, exactly as it's with
subject=beforeopening
   
You are right and I don't know how to change that within Lyx. The Latex 
gurus may have a solution.

problem_with_hypcap_and_figure_environment

[Kamran SHAFQAT]

Hi,

I using lyx1.6.5 with miktex 2.7. I have redefine the figure environment 
so that all the figure are automatically  centred on the page using the 
following code


\renewenvironment{figure}[1][\...@figure]{%

\ed...@tempa{\noexpand\@float{figure}[#1]} %

\...@tempa\centering%

}{%

\...@float

}


while this works fine but I am having problem with hycap now because of 
the redefinition. I can't use hypcap after these statements it gives error



TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].

and when hypcap is used before the environment definition than it 
doesn't work. The figure links just show the figure caption not the 
figure as it suppose to do.


any idea how this could be solved. Thanks for the help.


Regards,
Kamran

EPS files not displaying in PDF

[Todd Salamon]

I am running Lyx 1.5.7 on Windows XP SP2 with MiKTeX 2.5 installed. I have a
document with PDF and EPS files for figures. The preview shows both, but when I
try "View -> PDF (pdflatex)" the resulting PDF file only includes the PDF
images, and the EPS files show up as empty boxes with nothing inside.

If I export to PostScript and view the *.ps file, the PDF and EPS graphics all
show up fine.

Any idea why this is happening with PDF?


Thanks.

Todd

First question:  do you have ImageMagick installed?  LyX will try to convert EPS
files to PDF for inclusion in a PDF document, and it will need ImageMagick to do
so.  (See the Embedded Objects manual for details.)

Re: EPS files not displaying in PDF

[Todd Salamon]

I have ImageMagick 6.2.9 Q16 installed.

Re: EPS files not displaying in PDF

[Todd Salamon]

I just tried updating to ImageMagick 6.5.9-5-Q16 and that didn't make any
difference.

Todd

P.S. FYI - in the process of installing Lyx there was an error related to
writing a file. Any of the "..." below are too long for me to write.

Error opening file for writing:

MiKTeX 2.5SystemAdmin yesPowerUser noSharedSetup BinDir... binOS... Root0...
Root1... Root2... UserData... UserConfig... fndb0... fndb1... fndb2... 
fndbmpm C\Documents and Sett\dvipost.sty

I had the option of choosing "Abort", "Retry" and "Ignore". "Retry" would give
the same error, so I went ahead with "Ignore".

What happens if, in a command window (DOS prompt), you run 'convert whatever.eps
whatever.pdf' against one of your EPS files?  I'm wondering if maybe there's
something in them that is causing ImageMagick heartburn.

/Paul

Re: EPS files not displaying in PDF

[Todd Salamon]

The convert command does work ok. I went ahead and tried

convert filename.eps filename.pdf

The PDF is a bit grainy and unresolved, but there is definitely an image there,
whereas in the document it's an empty bounding box.

I also tried opening filename.eps in Adobe Illustrator and it complained about
the following fonts

CMMI7:
  Default font substituted for missing font.

and the same message for CMR7, CMSY7, CMMI10.

My colleagues is running Lyx 1.5.xx, with MiKTeX 2.7, and he doesn't seem to
have an issue with creating the PDF.

This is probably of no consequence, but I specified that the Gimp
should be used in LyX and it worked a treat. However the Gimp is a bit
of overkill if you're not using it anyway for most other things.

Just a thought.

Incremental Search in Lyx

[willie.zeng]

Hi fellow lyx users,

Is there a way to do the incremental search in the Lyx editor (just like the
Emacs style)?
