table alignment
Hi: I'm trying to format my table to align on decimal places. I've figured out how to align the table on the decimal places and use multi-column to keep the non-numeric cells normal. However, my last column is wider, or aligned farther to the right than all the other columns. Does anyone know how to fix this? thanks, Mike

It has to go in the LaTeX preamble. You also have to wrap it in
\makeatletter at the beginning and \makeatother at the end.
The specific command I suggested won't do what you want. You'll have to
adjust the spacing and the font commands that format the heading. But you
should actually be able to get those values from the class file. That is, if
you have using thesis.cls, then in that file somewhere you will find
something like:
\newcommand\sectio...@startsection {section}{1}...@}%
{-3.5ex \...@plus -1ex \...@minus -.2ex}%
{2.3ex \...@plus.2ex}%
{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}}
(This is taken from article.cls.) The six arguments to \...@startsection
(i) set the name of the division (section)
(ii) set the level in the hierarchy of divisions (so chapter is 0)
(iii) set the indent for headings (zero, in this case, using the macro
\z@)
(iv) set the space above the heading
(v) set the space below the heading
(vi) declare any commands that should be used to set the heading; in
this case, it is large and bold
As for (iv) and (v), these are what LaTeX calls rubber lengths and the
second means: Add 2.3 exes of space, and optionally add up to 0.2 exes, if
necessary to fix page breaks, etc. The former means: Add 3.5 exes of space,
optionally adding up to 1 ex and optionally subtracting up to 0.2exes; the
minus is a hack that means: suppress the indentation of the first paragraph
following this heading. So that is why the spacing can be inconsistent:
LaTeX is being told it can alter the spacing before a section heading by
almost a third.
What I did was just copy and paste this command, making it a \renewcommnd,
and then remove the rubber bits. You can do the same.
Btw, if this doesn't solve the problem, then the issue probably has to do
with float placement. But we can come back to that.

When I do this, the table is the right size. However, the caption of the

ERT \resizebox{0.95\textwidth}{!}{%
When I do this, the table is the right size. However, the caption of the
table no longer shows up. Is there a way to resize the table and have the
caption still work?
Many thanks,

Hi:
I have tables that are too large to output to one table. I am trying to
make the tables fit one page and have found tips to use in
ERT \resizebox{0.95\textwidth}{!}{%
When I do this, the table is the right size. However, the caption of the
table no longer shows up. Is there a way to resize the table and have the
caption still work?
Many thanks,

I changed the layout file. to read report instead of article, ran texhash, and still got the reconfigure error. You said: Hmm. That looks like a successful reconfigure to me. Try this again now from inside your LyX user directory. To verify where that is, go to ToolsPreferences, User Interface, hit Browse and then User Files.

I followed your directions. you said (thanks for being so explicit ): That is, in Terminal, type: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/ to get to the user directory.

So what was the output in this case? Did configure complete, or did it die

Is this perhaps because i have placed my files in the wrong spot?
Should the authesis.layout file i made be with all the other layout
files? in Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/layouts/ instead
of in username/Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts ?
The layout files should be in ~/Library/Application\
Support/LyX-1.5/layouts/. The username bit is meant to indicate your main
user directory, whatever that is. That's what ~ gets you, and also should be
the content of the $HOME environment variable. So if you do:
echo $HOME
you'll get your home directory back.
And perhaps, these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo,
auecon.clo) should not be in this location:
users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/
If kpsewhich is seeing them, then they are fine. So you might want to check
that again:

it still isn't working well. Do you know if this layout file looks

Try deleting textclass.lst from your user directory, too. The previous

Try this again now from inside your LyX user directory. To verify where that is, go to ToolsPreferences, User Interface, hit Browse and then User Files. This will dump you into a subdirectory of your user directory. Worth doing just to make sure. I verified the directory and ran the python command.

Re: install thesis class, Mac
I followed your directions. you said (thanks for being so explicit ): That is, in Terminal, type: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/ to get to the user directory. Then type: python /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py to reconfigure. (Note that in this line there is no /ui before configure.) I still did not have luck.

Should the authesis.layout file i made be with all the other layout files? in Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/layouts/ instead of in username/Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts ? And perhaps, these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo, auecon.clo) should not be in this location: users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ Once again, thank you very much.

So what was the output in this case? Did configure complete, or did it die
with an error?
Is this perhaps because i have placed my files in the wrong spot?
Should the authesis.layout file i made be with all the other layout
files? in Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/layouts/ instead
of in username/Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts ?
The layout files should be in ~/Library/Application\
Support/LyX-1.5/layouts/. The username bit is meant to indicate your main
user directory, whatever that is. That's what ~ gets you, and also should be
the content of the $HOME environment variable. So if you do:
echo $HOME
you'll get your home directory back.
And perhaps, these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo,
auecon.clo) should not be in this location:
users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/
If kpsewhich is seeing them, then they are fine. So you might want to check
that again:

There ought to be more document classes there.
Anyway, I've just created the attached layout in my local directory and run
configure, which worked fine. So you might try using it, just in case.
Try deleting textclass.lst from your user directory, too. The previous
failures may be causing problems.
This WILL work.

I followed your directions. you said (thanks for being so explicit ): That is, in Terminal, type: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/ to get to the user directory. Then type: python /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py to reconfigure. (Note that in this line there is no "/ui" before "configure".) I still did not have luck.

Wrong input layout file with line '\\DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]\{authesis\}\
Can you tell me what the error means?
You've been so helpful thus far--thank you very, very much.

install thesis class, Mac
Hi:
I've been having a lot of trouble installing a new class for LyX with
my mac. I am hoping to use LyX to write my doctoral dissertation. I
am trying to install the thesis class for my university, authesis.cls.
I have followed the directions, I believe, but am not getting the class to work.
I have placed these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo,
auecon.clo) in this location:
users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/
i have placed a layout file (authesis.layout) at this location:
username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts
The layout file reads:
#% Do not delete hte line below; configure depens on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{article (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
After doing this, I open terminal typed texhash and then quit terminal
I went to LyX, reconfigure and i get an error message that says, The
system reconfiguration has failed. Default textclass is used but LyX
may not be able to work properly. Please reconfigure again if needed.
I close LyX, start it again, and then if I go to Document, Settings, I
do not see the authesis in the document class menu(and the number of
classes I have listed is now much smaller than before i tried to
install this class).
Can someone help? I would very greatly appreciate it! I am very new
to both LyX and my Mac.
Thanks,
Mike
Re: install thesis class, Mac
Thanks for your response.
I updated my layout file to read:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{article (authesis)}
Format 4
# Input general definitions
Input article.layout
and I tried kpsewhich authesis.cls in the terminal. the response was
the location of the file. I noticed that when I tried texhash,
terminal told me that it was not writeable, so I tried sudo texhash
and it gave me the same response as kpsewhich. I still get the same
error message in LyX.
I don't under stand your last recommendation:
What I'd suggest is to try to run the reconfigure directly from
/users/username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/. I.e., open a
terminal, go to that directory, and then run python
/path/to/configure.py. If you can't figure out where that file is,
someone else will know. Anyway, you'll get more helpful error messages
then.
do i open terminal, type in the location of the class file? i.e.
/users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ or the location of
the layouts: username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts .
and then I type python/path/to/configure.py in terminal? when I
tried this, it said -bash ... doesn't exist
thanks so much for your insight.

Re: install thesis class, Mac
Thanks again. I took your advice. I located configure.py I opened
terminal, typed:
# cd /tmp/
then,
#python/library/applications/lyx.app/content/resources/configure.py
Then, I opened LyX, and tried to reconfigure. I got the same error
message that the configure did not work. Is it of interest that if I
go to, Tools-Tex Information, I see authesis under the list of
classes?
I really appreciate your help so far! thanks, mike

That's normal, since texhash wants to update lots of files, some of which
you wouldn't be able to write.
so I tried sudo texhash

error message in LyX.

When you hit ToolsConfigure, what it actually does is run the configure.py
python script and write a bunch of files to your user directory. One of
these, for example, is textclass.lst, which contains a list of all the
layout files configure.py finds and some information about them. You can run
this configure.py script from outside LyX, and that's what we want to do.
But we have to run it from your user directory, that is, from where
configure.py is, since the file will write the next textclass.lst to the
directory from which you run it.
That said, you CAN run it from anywhere, and since we're just debugging you
can run it from /tmp/, and then it won't actually change any of your files.
What we want is error messages right now.
do i open terminal, type in the location of the class file? i.e.
/users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ or the location of
the layouts: username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts.
For now:
# cd /tmp/
but for real:
# cd username/library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/
That ought to be where textclass.lst lives.
and then I type python/path/to/configure.py in terminal? when I
tried this, it said -bash ... doesn't exist
Type:
# python /path/to/configure.py
where the /path/to/ part is replaced by the actual path to configure.py. I
don't know what that is on your machine, because I'm not on Mac. (On my
machine, it would be: /usr/local/share/lyx/configure.py, but this probably
isn't right for you.) But maybe you can try:
# locate configure.py
I don't know if locate is available on Mac, though.
I'm cc'ing Bennett, as he knows about Mac stuff.

the location of the file. I noticed that when I tried texhash,
terminal told me that it was not writeable,
That's normal, since texhash wants to update lots of files, some of which
you wouldn't be able to write.
so I tried sudo texhash
and it gave me the same response as kpsewhich. I still get the same
error message in LyX.
I don't under stand your last recommendation:
What I'd suggest is to try to run the reconfigure directly from
/users/username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/. I.e., open a
terminal, go to that directory, and then run python
/path/to/configure.py. If you can't figure out where that file is,
someone else will know. Anyway, you'll get more helpful error messages
then.
When you hit ToolsConfigure, what it actually does is run the configure.py
python script and write a bunch of files to your user directory. One of
these, for example, is textclass.lst, which contains a list of all the
layout files configure.py finds and some information about them. You can run
this configure.py script from outside LyX, and that's what we want to do.
But we have to run it from your user directory, that is, from where
configure.py is, since the file will write the next textclass.lst to the
directory from which you run it.
That said, you CAN run it from anywhere, and since we're just debugging you
can run it from /tmp/, and then it won't actually change any of your files.
What we want is error messages right now.
do i open terminal, type in the location of the class file? i.e.
/users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ or the location of
the layouts: username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts.
For now:
# cd /tmp/
but for real:
# cd username/library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/
That ought to be where textclass.lst lives.
and then I type python/path/to/configure.py in terminal? when I
tried this, it said -bash ... doesn't exist
Type:
# python /path/to/configure.py
where the /path/to/ part is replaced by the actual path to configure.py. I
don't know what that is on your machine, because I'm not on Mac. (On my
machine, it would be: /usr/local/share/lyx/configure.py, but this probably
isn't right for you.) But maybe you can try:
# locate configure.py
I don't know if locate is available on Mac, though.
I'm cc'ing Bennett, as he knows about Mac stuff.

install thesis class, Mac
Hi:
I've been having a lot of trouble installing a new class for LyX with
my mac. I am hoping to use LyX to write my doctoral dissertation. I
am trying to install the thesis class for my university, authesis.cls.
I have followed the directions, I believe, but am not getting the class to work.
I have placed these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo,
auecon.clo) in this location:
users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/
i have placed a layout file (authesis.layout) at this location:
username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts
The layout file reads:
#% Do not delete hte line below; configure depens on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{article (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
After doing this, I open terminal typed "texhash" and then quit terminal
I went to LyX, reconfigure and i get an error message that says, "The
system reconfiguration has failed. Default textclass is used but LyX
may not be able to work properly. Please reconfigure again if needed."
I close LyX, start it again, and then if I go to Document, Settings, I
do not see the authesis in the document class menu(and the number of
classes I have listed is now much smaller than before i tried to
install this class).
Can someone help? I would very greatly appreciate it! I am very new
to both LyX and my Mac.
Thanks,
Mike

thanks so much for your insight.

Re: install thesis class, Mac
Thanks again. I took your advice. I located configure.py I opened
terminal, typed:
# cd /tmp/
then,
#python/library/applications/lyx.app/content/resources/configure.py
Then, I opened LyX, and tried to reconfigure. I got the same error
message that the configure did not work. Is it of interest that if I
go to, Tools->Tex Information, I see authesis under the list of
classes?
I really appreciate your help so far! thanks, mike
