beamer question

2012-08-01 Thread paul sutton

Hi

Now we have the raspberry PI out,  I can perhaps use a raspberry Pi as
part of a display system for a TV,  sort of scroll through slides etc.

if i create a presentation in beamer does this allow for auto changing
of slides as in if I set the pi to auto boot to x, auto login and start
a presentation,  I want it to run the presentation and when it gets to
the end,  start over from the beginning without having to press a
keyboard to go to next slide.

Just wondered if this is possible or another package should be used.

Paul

There are things like pstricks which is a package that can be integrated
with latex,  that then allows items to be drawn,

 Hi all,

 Is there any way, using LaTeX or maybe a LaTeX package, that I could
 make lists try to stay on one page? For the clarity of my book, it's
 much better if a list doesn't flow across pages, even if it causes
 different pages to have significantly different amounts of text. The
 latter is cosmetic, the former is a matter of reader understanding.

 I'm thinking maybe something with rubber lengths, but can't really
 fathom it out any farther.

Could you put the list on a new page then use ERT to create that page as
2 column ? Ok that depends on how big your list is,  if you want each
item to be on 1 line,   you may even be able to get away with 3 column.

Hi

not quite what we are looking for but may point in the right direction

Assuming you have already inserted a table,  I quickly did this to test

Try clicking Tools menu,  preferences,  then colours under that there is
an option for table line,   you can also alter text colour from here, 

does this help / point you in the right direction

underfull/ overfull badboxes

2012-03-19 Thread paul sutton

Hi

Following on from my previous questions on LaTex, the same file I have
now figured out how to add tables of contents and indexes,  which should
be handy when I want to do this in LyX too, as I will have a better idea
of what goes on underneath.

My qestion now is around over / underfull boxes,  the attached file (not
sure if I needed to include the graphics here) but it compiles fine, 
only I get badbox errors on lines
 
27,underfull \hbox (badness 10,000) in paragraph
31,underfull \hbox (badness 10,000) in paragraph
31underfull \hbox (badness 10,000) in paragraph

I get an overfull \hox on line 62,  (10,20177pt too wide) in paragraph

I just wondered what has happened, as I said it compiles fine,  so
despite 10,000 being high up the scale on badness it seems happy with
something.

I have looked this up just can't see what is wrong with my text, as I
start other paragraphs in the same way any they don't give issues.  

I take it there are other ways I should be presenting that list at the
end perhaps as a table would be better, or don't i need to have url then
what it is next to it, 

thanks,

Paul

I think if you use the fancy header package (fancyhdr  I think)  you can

for example if you are writing about fermentation.

Sorry i keep hitting reply and forget to include the cc to the list


I did write a very basic and short guide on using math mode to write
chemical formulae and

things like


CH
4

2+
Na

as in super / subscripts

and

1
 H
1

Showing mass number / atomic number

will try and dig it out,   if anything something like that is useful for
school chemistry students,  I am sure there is a way to insert
/longarrow or similar and also put things on top of long arrow

e.g


catalyst
>
yeast

for example if you are writing about fermentation.

 You might find convenient using news server (nntp) news.gmane.org, and

 You'll need a newsreader, like Thunderbird or many others

 Oh I get it. 

 Actually, I am already subscribed to gmane, but didnt quite realize it was 
 the 
 same list, and so thought I had to sign up to the list in order to be able to

 It seems I can post/followup from gmane directly. great and thanks!
 Opera is my newsreader, but I dont really want to use a newsreader either. 
 just 
 browse online, which I can do from gmane. So all good.

 Anyhow thanks for setting me right. Needless to say, you're a pip.

if you get too many e-mails see if there is a digest version which sends
out e-mails in different way, i wil let others explain someone can
probably explain it better.

contrast of pdf files

2011-03-28 Thread Paul Sutton

Hi

I produce a newsletter for my local rugby club, in a mix of LyX and
LaTeX, I have been informed that for some people the pdf is hard to read,

I just wondered if there was anything I could do about this, perhaps as
its a pdf with black text and a white background is there a way to alter
the back ground colour of the pdf file so its slightly off white, which
could make it easier to read.



thanks,

Paul

Not sure if this helps but I produce my local rugby clubs newsletter in

feel free to have a look at http://www.zleap.net/rugby.php

Re: LyX Promotion

2011-03-22 Thread Paul Sutton


 The next major revision of my courseware will be All-Beamer-All-The-Time (no 
 LyX, just Beamer LaTeX). It's 1000 times easier to maintain and personalize 
 than OOImpress viewed on MS Powerpoint.
 
 Nowadays, all my letters are LyX letter template. Yeah, it's a PITA, and I 
 think it's a silly use of LyX, but it's a whole lot better than OOWriter.
 
 When writing a paper 5 pages or less, I use Abiword to get it done in a few 
 minutes. Beyond 5 pages, I use LyX. LyX can be a PITA, but at least you know 
 it will work.
 
 And of course, when writing anything over 50 pages I use LyX. This is LyX's 
 intended usage, and who in their right mind would use anything else for 50+ 
 page docs?


A book on LyX could be useful but you raise an important point here,
what perhaps needs to be got across is when do you use LyX when does
this stop and LaTeX takes over or perhaps the other way round.

The problem with the subject line is that it resembles something sent by

it does catch they eye though

Just throwing a crazy thought out there before Lyx 10; what would be 
the consequences of a mode where the screen was displayed as though 
through a Preview inset except at the point where you happened to be 
typing? A keystroke would toggle this on or off. James Blunt is 
singing 'You're beautiful' in my head now which is exceedingly annoying.


BTW, WYSIWY∞ just means I have an acronym headache; ∞ is not a 
sideways 8 that fell over from a hangover meaning "What you see is 
what you ate".


(Does WYSIWY∞ mean  WYSI everything there is, or WYS does not behave 
in the way you think it should?)


From the floor,
Lisa

lyx and table of contents

2010-12-17 Thread Paul Sutton

Hi

I am trying to add a table of contents to my rugby club newsletter.  Do
I need  to use a separate file with information in?  I can use the menu
to add table of contents but the properties box for this doesn't list
anything if I click list of graphics it does, so I am guessing its
looking for something.

thanks

file conversions

2010-11-29 Thread Paul Sutton

Hi

Looking around on the net i found references to the following

lyxtox script - converts lyx to docbook sgml
db2lyx - converts lyx to xml docbook


not sure if these are mentioned anywhere on the wiki

however

http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/ELyXer

ELyXer is it converts LyX to Html

not sure if any of this is useful,  converting to docbook would be good
for anyone interested in doing stuff for the linux documentation project.

Hi

this probably isn't the right place to ask this, I am designing a
newsletter for my local rugby club using lyx,  I would like to include a
word search as a fun part of the document,

I am trying to google, but thought that I could ask here too,

what i need is something that will produce a word search in LaTeX that
is simple enough to perhaps copy / paste as ERT,  I have converted a
table using txt2tags that has the club league table on it,  but doing a
word search is more complex.

so type in or input a list of words
have these auto inserted in random places as you would find in a real
wordsearch and add filler letters

thanks for any help / suggestions. I am sure its possible,

if you want to do something like H2O where the 2 is a subscript then you
can simply use the math function.

have a look at the following from my dropbox storage area thingy

 Imagine you want to keep a snippet you found online. you copy it. when
 pasting it in lyx, it will add a little note with the url it came from, and
 the time it was collected. This is a killer feature for
 notetaking/research.

sorry sent this reply directly to you by mistake, i am used to hitting
reply in forums and having replies go to the forum / mailing list

How do i do this then,

i opened up wikipedia, highlighed some text and pasted in to lyx and it
just pasted the text,

Am i doing something wrong, do I have to include the url manually ?

i have installed the firefox add on and it only quotes the text + url

feature that may be useful - auto word count

2010-01-14 Thread Paul Sutton

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

While typing if i want to add a word count I can highlight the text i
want counted and use tools - statistics, then put the result in a margin
note manually.

what would be useful is to be able to define a block of text, say
paragraph, hold the page count in a variable, then inside a margin note
(or similar) have it auto update the word count.

perhaps have a total word count appear in the status bar too for the
whole document.  some way of monitoring things in real time.

Just thought it would be handy,  not sure how it would work i can insert
new page,  so perhaps have insert block start / end,

perhaps then at the end of the document, have a way of inserting word
count which is then a sum of all the variables, added to gethre, so
block1+block2= total word count

any ideas

 I'm sure it's possible, probably with a series of tables, one for each
 month.

 But I can sure see a lot of easier tools to use for a calender,
 especially if
 you know a little bit of scripting language programming.
 
 The PGF/TikZ package contains a quite decent calendar library. Within
 LyX you have to use ERT as it is a LaTeX package, but its relatively
 easy to use.
 
 Daniel
Ok thanks

I have found http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/ to give a few good
examples,  i have pgf installed but do I need to install TikZ as a
separate package, under ubuntu ?

or are they one package.

Will have a read of the tutorial and information files.

 Hello,

 Is there an easy way in LyX to enter ordinals such as 1st, 2nd, nth?

 InsertFormattingSuperscript is the easist way I know. You can also
 define a custom character style to represent \textsuperscript, and use
 that.
 
 rh
 
In lyx 1.6.2 (ubuntu 9.04)
if you click Insert - Math - Inline formula

then typing say 14^4 puts it as a power (superscript (on top i think)
or typing 14_2 puts it as a subscript (lower down) in a similar way you
can do chemical formulas

If you type for example

^1 _1 H  (note the space) you get H (hydrogen) with the 1  and 1 for
mass number and atomic number in the right place.

is this what you mean by ordinals ?


clearly in you can have anything so could perhaps do 10^th to get the th
as superscript.


hope this helps / is what you were looking for.
