BibTeX troubles (fails with some styles, succeeds with others)

[Scott Kostyshak]

The attached document fails to compile for me on Ubuntu 13.10 with TeX
Live 2013. If I change the style from acmsiggraph to plain then it
succeeds.

Note that this same bibliography (and style) is used in the
ACM-siggraph.lyx template (see File  New From Template 
ACM-siggraph.lyx). I can export that file without any issues.

Is it because I have to use the ACM SIGGRAPH document class?

My LaTeX log is here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/63swzedzkrq99y1/mwe_bib.log

 Oh, then (on Linux) I would recommend:
 PDF Mod: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/PdfMod

PMFJI, but I take opportunity of this thread to mention a strange
feature: on my setup (LyX 2.0.6/Debian), PDFmod can't open the
LyX-produced PDFs (an error occurred while opening...). Can someone
confirm?

I can't tell whether that's a PDFMod, LyX or even LaTeX issue, but
PDFMod doesn't rely on the pdftk command-line utility (which works
fine).

PDF-Shuffler is fine.

Still, it's a little issue: imagine a (non-LyX) user who has received a
PDF coming from LyX, and wants to extract some pages or pictures: he
could wonder why PDFMod doesn't handle this document.

 PDF Chain: http://pdfchain.sourceforge.net/
 PDF-Shuffler: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfshuffler/
 
 Either of these would allow to extract individual pages from a PDF.

Did you can see the graphic within LyX? Did LyX display it correctly in your 
system? if not the case check that the example script is located at the same 
path than the lyx file, another way is to click in the inserted graphic and 
look for the example.pygr path


Yes, all this is ok. However, both graphics (example.pygr, example2.pygr) show: 
Error converting to loadable format.




Another possible explanation is that your system doesn't handle with eps, in 
this case you should change the definition and instead of eps, put pdf or png 
as final format, whichever work for you, you can check that because it will 
display the graphic within LyX even before you export anything!


I have changed to png, now the first example renders alright (in LyX), but the 
second one not. Shouldn't your LyX file contain already your toolspreferences 
settings? Or how can one make LyX remember these settings, so that people trying 
it have not to fiddle with it?

Sorry, I should have read the last part: Using more advanced python 
libraries are also allowed, like this example using seaborn, scipy and 
numpy. To obtain extra python packages you have to install the 
python-pip package manager and perform“pip install package” with root

installing this and hope it will work. An additional question I will

PythonGraphics with data file

Wolfgang Engelmann engelm...@uni-tuebingen.de writes:

What lyx does, if configured as described earlier, is simply

1) running the Python (or whatever language) script (saved in a file with
the extension pygr and e.g. the name MyScript.pygr) to generate a graphic of a 
given format (lets assume
eps) with the name MyScript.eps
2) converts the MyScript.eps to .png for preview
3) converts the MyScript.eps to the format required by the output format
(e.g. .pdf for pdflatex)

The question how to use external datasets to generate the graphic is a
pure Python question and has nothing to do with LyX: if the Python script is
executed from the command line and generates a MyScript.eps graphic it
should work in LyX as well.

Rainer

Yes, Rainer,  I understand that. My question was -being not familiar 
with python- whether one can include the data set in the python script. 
I use pyxplot where this can be done by simply adding

--
and afterward the data set. The advantage is, that one does not need to 
keep an extra file outside the script.

Re: Python Graphics in LyX [was: Python bindings]

Hi Alex,

I still get the error converting to loadable format message.

I can run the python script from the command line and it does work.   I can
and have modified the .pygr script to produce other outputs in .png, 
.jpg, .ps, etc.

without problem.

But inside LyX, regardless of what I do to define the converter,  I can 
not get the image

to render nor can I produce a .pdf output from the LyX doc.

Something is not right.   I am using LyX 2.0.1

The converters are defined in the configuration file LyX. If you could take a 
loom at it and post the lines where you file formats and the converters are 
defined, one could see if there is something wrong. I don't have LyX at hand, 
so I can't give you the location of the config file.

Re: paper accepted for publication, but need help!

[Benedict Holland]

I think this is a problem with the default configuration, at least on
linux. You really need to use Bibtex8 for the bibliogrophy generation. This
is NOT the default. The default is bibtex which doesn't have any unicode
support because it actually was written in the 1980's. bibtex8 should
really be the default by now on any system. Also the language support in
lyx should default to utf-8. It would make life much easier to not have to
change these around so much and avoid these sorts of bugs. I also should
point out that pdflatex does an excellent job at catching these problems.
XeTex I think uses utf-8 by default which is why it worked when you
switched from pdflatex to XeTex.

 You should use the same encoding for your document and the LyX output

Re: Python Graphics in LyX [was: Python bindings]

Hi Alex,

I still get the error converting to loadable format message.

I can run the python script from the command line and it does work.   I can
and have modified the .pygr script to produce other outputs in .png, 
.jpg, .ps, etc.

without problem.

But inside LyX, regardless of what I do to define the converter,  I can 
not get the image

to render nor can I produce a .pdf output from the LyX doc.

Something is not right.   I am using LyX 2.0.1

The converters are defined in the configuration file LyX. If you could take a 
loom at it and post the lines where you file formats and the converters are 
defined, one could see if there is something wrong. I don't have LyX at hand, 
so I can't give you the location of the config file.

Re: paper accepted for publication, but need help!

[Benedict Holland]

I think this is a problem with the default configuration, at least on
linux. You really need to use Bibtex8 for the bibliogrophy generation. This
is NOT the default. The default is bibtex which doesn't have any unicode
support because it actually was written in the 1980's. bibtex8 should
really be the default by now on any system. Also the language support in
lyx should default to utf-8. It would make life much easier to not have to
change these around so much and avoid these sorts of bugs. I also should
point out that pdflatex does an excellent job at catching these problems.
XeTex I think uses utf-8 by default which is why it worked when you
switched from pdflatex to XeTex.

 You should use the same encoding for your document and the LyX output
 encoding. A workaround is to use LaTeX markup in the .bib file so that it
 is compatible with any encoding.

BibTeX troubles (fails with some styles, succeeds with others)

The attached document fails to compile for me on Ubuntu 13.10 with TeX

succeeds.

Note that this same bibliography (and style) is used in the

ACM-siggraph.lyx). I can export that file without any issues.

Is it because I have to use the ACM SIGGRAPH document class?

PMFJI, but I take opportunity of this thread to mention a strange
"feature": on my setup (LyX 2.0.6/Debian), PDFmod can't open the
LyX-produced PDFs ("an error occurred while opening..."). Can someone
confirm?

I can't tell whether that's a PDFMod, LyX or even LaTeX issue, but
PDFMod doesn't rely on the pdftk command-line utility (which works
fine).

PDF-Shuffler is fine.

Still, it's a little issue: imagine a (non-LyX) user who has received a
PDF coming from LyX, and wants to extract some pages or pictures: he
could wonder why PDFMod doesn't handle this document.

Yes, all this is ok. However, both graphics (example.pygr, example2.pygr) show:

Another possible explanation is that your system doesn't handle with eps, in

Sorry, I should have read the last part: Using more advanced python 
libraries are also allowed, like this example using seaborn, scipy and 
numpy. To obtain extra python packages you have to install the 
python-pip package manager and perform“pip install package” with root 
permissions, where package can be seaborn for instance. So I will try 
installing this and hope it will work. An additional question I will 
mail separately. Wolfgang

PythonGraphics with data file

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

If one wants to use a figure in PythonGraphics which needs an external 
data set, how is this achieved?

[Rainer M Krug]

Wolfgang Engelmann  writes:

What lyx does, if configured as described earlier, is simply

1) running the Python (or whatever language) script (saved in a file with
the extension pygr and e.g. the name MyScript.pygr) to generate a graphic of a 
given format (lets assume
eps) with the name MyScript.eps
2) converts the MyScript.eps to .png for preview
3) converts the MyScript.eps to the format required by the output format
(e.g. .pdf for pdflatex)

The question how to use external datasets to generate the graphic is a
pure Python question and has nothing to do with LyX: if the Python script is
executed from the command line and generates a MyScript.eps graphic it
should work in LyX as well.

Cheers,

Rainer

Yes, Rainer,  I understand that. My question was -being not familiar 
with python- whether one can include the data set in the python script. 
I use pyxplot where this can be done by simply adding

--
and afterward the data set. The advantage is, that one does not need to 
keep an extra file outside the script.
