Center All Graphics

[Chris Rackauckas]

Hello,
  I am trying to create a modification that will center all graphics
automatically. How would I go about doing this? I tried
adding \usepackage{floatrow} to the LaTeX preamble but this only centers
graphics put into floats. Any ideas?

Better yet, why doesn't LyX center graphics (at least in floats) by
default?  It centers captions by default, so why not graphics? This
inconsistency has long annoyed me...

Hi James,

I don't think LyX centers captions or specifically doesn't center
graphics. From what I understand, LyX respects the class defaults,
which in my opinion is what it should do. If you are writing an
article for a journal whose document class has figures aligned to the
left, they probably would not appreciate it if LyX changed that, or
any other stylistic element. It would lead to an inconsistent journal
edition.

Finding cause of error preventing preview

[Rich Shepard]

  Near the top of my document I have a citation imported from JabRef. When I
try to compile the document as a dvi preview an error is generated and a
block of text a few lines below that citation is highlighted:

 \newblock {\em Ecology}, 94(12):26780--
  2687.
You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText

  The citation above the blocked text is not from Ecology and I cannot find

Re: xfig drawing in LyX 2.1.0 does not work

[Jens Nellesen]

 FIG conversion to EPS and PDF uses different software. One of them might be 
 set up
 wrongly. First, try Tools-Reconfigure, and restart lyx.
 If that did not help, Tools-Preferences, select File Handling
 You will find a list of converters between various file formats. You should 
 find
 FIG-EPS (which works for you) and FIG-PDFTEX which doesn't. Check that the 
 software
 mentioned is installed, and is available in the PATH.
 In my case, the converter is
 python -tt $$s/scripts/fig2pdftex.py $$i $$o
 So python must exist in the path somewhere. (Try typing python on the 
 command line.
 If it fails with unknown command, then you know why it doesn't work for LyX.) 
 Install
 the software. If it is installed, either fix the PATH setting, or give the 
 full path
 to the converter instead of just the filename. (I.e. 
 C:\programs\something\python )

I checked all settings  in Tools-Preferences-File Handling in a native Win7 
LyX installation (version 2.1.2)
but I could not find any mistake.

These are the converter commands:
for FIG-EPS: fig2dev -L eps $$i $$o
for FIG-PDFTEX: python -tt $$s/scripts/fig2pdftex.py $$i $$o

As stated before, the preview in LyX works perfectly.
If I hit the shortcut key CTRL+T for PS preview I realize a command beginning 
with python -tt ... in the status bar and immediately the ghostview is 
launched to display the temporarily produced PS file.
In LyX the path prefix starts with 
$LyXDir\bin;$LyXDir\Python;$LyXDir\Python\Lib; ...  .

However, if I try to generate the PDF file I always get the pdfTeX error ... 
.pdftex_t' not found.

As stated before, in a fedora-vbox I do not experience this problem (with LyX 
2.1.1).

Thanks for help in advance.

I checked all settings  in Tools->Preferences->File Handling in a native Win7 
LyX installation (version 2.1.2)
but I could not find any mistake.

These are the converter commands:
for FIG->EPS: fig2dev -L eps $$i $$o
for FIG->PDFTEX: python -tt $$s/scripts/fig2pdftex.py $$i $$o

As stated before, the preview in LyX works perfectly.
If I hit the shortcut key CTRL+T for PS preview I realize a command beginning 
with "python -tt ..." in the status bar and immediately the ghostview is 
launched to display the temporarily produced PS file.
In LyX the path prefix starts with 
"$LyXDir\bin;$LyXDir\Python;$LyXDir\Python\Lib; ...  ".

However, if I try to generate the PDF file I always get the pdfTeX error "... 
.pdftex_t' not found."

As stated before, in a fedora-vbox I do not experience this problem (with LyX 
2.1.1).

Thanks for help in advance.

Re: Center All Graphics

[Chris Rackauckas]

Hi Scott,
  Where would I find the Koma-Script Book layout (is it named differently?)
and more importantly, how would I center all graphics?

Hi Chris,

Searching (case-insensitively) for "koma" tells me it's in the file
scrbook.layout.

I don't know.

Hi Alberto,

I don't know much about this, but you might be able to do something like

Provides color

in local layout.

See Help > Customization for more information.

Please let the list know if you try it and it works.

Best,

Scott
