Re: Converting figures from EPS to PDF
Hello All, This is not explicitly a LyX question but it's related. I want to use pdflatex to create a PDF of my LyX document (I have tried many things but this seems to be the only way to get equations to look nice on-screen, also I want to use hyperrefs). As pdflatex can't handle eps figures I have converted my figures to PDF and put a copy of them in the same directory as the eps figure, so that within LyX the eps is used and when pdflatex is called it uses the pdf files. My problem is with converting my eps figures to pdf. I have tried using convert, but this puts my small figure in the middle of an A4 page, so when it gets included in my document it has to go on a page by itself with loads of space around it. The fonts also look very bad on the screen. I have also tried using epstopdf, this gives a nicely bound figure (ie there is no white space around my figure) but the fonts also are bad on screen (not as bad as with convert though). I looked at the document info of the resulting PDF file and it says that type 3 fonts have been used. Is there a way of forcing type 1 fonts to be used. I have also tried using the convert option of GSview under Windows. The resulting file looks great on the screen but I have the same problem of lots of white space around the figure. Does anyone know a solution to this problem, or another program that would do the trick Thanks in advance Nick Nick Burgan Postgraduate Student Active Noise and Vibration Control Group Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Adelaide SA 5005 AUSTRALIA Phone: +61 (0)8 8303 6385 Fax: +61 (0)8 8303 4367

Re: Image conversion
Hi Roberto I need to convert PNG files to EPS so I can include them in a LyX document. I've tried using convert and it works, but the output looks pretty bad on GV. Is that a convert problem or do all PNG - EPS conversions look bad? I think that most eps images look bad in Lyx or in GV (I think they use the same rendering engine). I had some photographs which were jpegs and I converted them to eps to put in a LyX document. They look very grainy in LyX and in GV but they print perfectly. Depending on the size of the file they also take a long time to render on the screen. The only program that I have found on my Linux system that displays eps images nicely is Image Magick. The convert program that you used is part of Image Magick and the other part is a program called display. Just type display on the command line and it should load up. It also renders the images much more quickly I am told that the new version of LyX (1.2) uses the rendering engine from Image Magick, so images should come out better and faster. Hope thats of some help cheers Nick Nick Burgan Postgraduate Student Active Noise and Vibration Control Group Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Adelaide SA 5005 AUSTRALIA Phone: +61 (0)8 8303 6385 Fax: +61 (0)8 8303 4367

Re: IEEEtran / Babel
Allan,
Thanks for your email.
I tried
\AtBeginDocument{\usepackage{babel}}
in the preferences dialogue, but my IEEE paper still wouldn't compile (LyX
calls LaTeX but LaTeX just seems to hang on its 1st run and I have to kill it)
Excuse my ignorance but what was your reasoning behind suggesting using
\AtBeginDocument{\usepackage{babel}}
instead of
\usepackage{babel}

Re: BibTeX style problem
Guido,
You can do all of these things and many more by using the package natbib.
If you haven't got it installed, install it.
At the end of your document where you have your BibTeX Generated References,
use the style plainnat . The plainnat.bst file comes with natbib and can be
used to replace the plain.bst file.
Then to use the package you just put in your preamble
\usepackage{natbib}
The only complication is that you can't utilise all the features of natbib by
just using Insert -- Citation Reference. (I believe that in LyX 1.2 more
natbib features are supported in this way)
If you do Insert -- Citation Reference, you will get
Jones et al. (1990) (I believe this is one of the options you wanted)
If you would like some other options you need to use a bit of ERT. At the
point in your document where you would like your reference, instead of doing
Insert -- Citation Reference, type in ERT;
\citet {jon90} (where jon90 is they key in your references database) and
you will get the same style as above
\citep{jon90} and you will get (Jones et al.,1990)
\citealt{jon90} and you will get Jones et al. 1990 (the second option
you wanted )
Natbib is very powerful, and there are hundreds of options. I suggest
printing out the documentation that comes with natbib, and they are fairly
easy to work out from that.
I hope this has been of some help

Re: Display formula problem
Remzi,
I'm not sure exactly what is causing your problem.
When I opened your LyX file I was not able to toggle the position of the
limits either.
I re-wrote the formular myself (see file attached) and it worked fine.
It seems to be a problem with the sum symbol that you are using. When I
defined a sum symbol using \sum (or from the math panel) my sum symbol came
out much bigger than yours. How did you define yours ? The limit toggling
seems to work fine with my sum symbol but not with yours.

Did you want the formular to be like this ?

Re: Display formula problem
Remzi, You can toggle between the superscript/sunscript way and the directly above/below way when in display math mode, by typing Alt-m-l (the cursors position must be before or behind the symbol) Hope thats of some help Nick On Thu, 8 Nov 2001 3:14:am, you wrote: Lyx 1.1.6fix3 It seems to be a problem with the display formula.

Re: New German Spelling
Rainer, It seems I wasn't much help before. Do you still need to use the (old) german dictionary ? By default LyX uses the dictionary of the language of the document (Layout-Document-Lanuage). So if you have this set to german, the way I understand it is that LyX would tell ispell to look for a dictionary called german.hash. This is probably a bit of a hack, but maybe you could make a dictionary called german.hash which is simply a symbolic link to the igerman dictionary. Then you could save the old german dictionary as german_old.hash and when you need to use it specify this in the spellchecker. I guess the best way to do it would be able to define a new language called igerman in (Layout-Document-Lanuage). Maybe someone, who knows a lot more about it than I do, knows how to do this ?

Re: Problems with EPS figures
I have found the .eps export feature on a lot of windows based programs to be pretty dodgy too. Generally under windows programs I print to a postscript file and then open the files using GSview.

you may have already worked it out, but I've done this by putting

I'm not sure if it is the best way to do it but it worked for me.

titlesec package, compact headings
Hello All, I am writing a report that must be limited to 20 pages. I would like the chapter headings to take up less space (vertically) on the page so I can fit more into the report. I'm trying to use the titlesec package to produce more compact chapter headings. I have read the documentation for the package and on the 2nd page it mentions a compact option which reduces the spacing above and below the titles. This looks to be just what I want but no information is given on how to use this option. Unfortunately my skills in using LaTeX commands aren't that good. The package basically seems to give you two main commands \titleformat \titlespacing Basically I want to change the title spacing of the chapters, so I would imagine that I need to use the \titlespacing command but I'm not sure where the compact option should fit in. Has anyone had much experience using this package and know how to use the compact option? Or perhaps someone knows another way to achieve the same result. Thanks in advance Nick Nick Burgan Postgraduate Student Active Noise and Vibration Control Group Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Adelaide SA 5005 AUSTRALIA Phone: +61 (0)8 8303 6385 Fax: +61 (0)8 8303 4367
Re: titlesec package, compact headings
Hello again,
I tried
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
in the preamble but there is no difference in the DVI output
I also tried
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{1*}{1*}
in the preamble but that didn't do anything either.
(by the way what do the *'s mean in the above command)
Any ideas ?
I have made a small trial file to try things out on, so I'm not using any
other packages that might conflict with titlesec.

Hello All, I am writing a report that must be limited to 20 pages. I would like the chapter headings to take up less space (vertically) on the page so I can fit more into the report. I'm trying to use the titlesec package to produce more compact chapter headings. I have read the documentation for the package and on the 2nd page it mentions a compact option which reduces the spacing above and below the titles. This looks to be just what I want but no information is given on how to use this option. Unfortunately my skills in using LaTeX commands aren't that good. The package basically seems to give you two main commands \titleformat \titlespacing Basically I want to change the title spacing of the chapters, so I would imagine that I need to use the \titlespacing command but I'm not sure where the compact option should fit in. Has anyone had much experience using this package and know how to use the compact option? Or perhaps someone knows another way to achieve the same result.

Re: titlesec package, compact headings
Hello again,
I tried
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
in the preamble but there is no difference in the DVI output
I also tried
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{1*}{1*}
in the preamble but that didn't do anything either.
(by the way what do the *'s mean in the above command)
Any ideas ?
I have made a small trial file to try things out on, so I'm not using any
other packages that might conflict with titlesec.

Rendering of EPS files
Hello All, I wish to insert some photographs into my LyX document. I have the photos as .jpeg originally and I have converted them to .eps (level 2) using the Convert package that is part of image magick ie. convert filename.jpg eps2:filename.eps When I insert the .eps files into LyX, the image quality is very poor, and they look very grainy. In fact the .eps files look very poor in most of the image viewers I have on my system. Except for the Display package (part of image magick again). (It doesn't seem to be a problem with figures ie plots, just with photograpghs) I realise that the images will print perfectly but I was looking for a way to make them look better 'on screen'. I guess LyX relies on ghostscript to render the images on screen ? Is it possible to make LyX use another image rendering 'engine', for example the one that Display uses (I have no idea what this is). Display seems to render the images much faster also. Maybe this is a development issue ?

Re: \mathversion; fonts in menu
Krzys,
I'm not exactly sure if you wanted to do this, but if you just want to make
individual symbols in your equations bold then if you precede the symbol, (in
math mode) with
\boldsymbol
then it will make the symbol bold. It will only make the character that
directly follows the command bold though, for example if you did
\boldsymbol\gamma\psi
the gamma will be bold and the psi wont
(also if you just want to make normal letters bold in math mode use ctrl-b)
I'm not sure of all the advantages and disadvantages of using the \boldsymbol
command but it is the best way I have found to make selected Greek letters
etc bold in an equation

2. I am using LyX for few weeks now,

Is there a simple way to add new fonts into the
LyX Document Layout menu ?
For example, my TeTeX distribution comes with
the beton package (a kind of Computer Modern
modified fond). I just put
\usepackage{beton}
in the lyx preamble and it works great.
For the math font i just use Euler
\usepackage{euler}
Is there a way to have this fonts in the menu
with the others (default, times, palatino, ...)
Thanks.
