Re: Embedding movies

[phil]

Me too.


I have tried without success.


Can someone post a minimal working example?


Thanks

"multimedia" works for me very well.

You need to include

\usepackage{multimedia}

in the Preamble and then some centered ERT will do nicely

\movie[width=10cm, height=7cm, showcontrols{%
\includegraphics[width=10cm, height=7cm]{%
powerpoint.png
}
}{powerpoint.mov}


Needs to be presented with Acrobat, and it will ask for some permission
stuff the first time, which you don't see in full screen, so you must
remember to escape full screen, give the permission and return to full
screen.

I didn't try AVI but MP4 does not work, so conversion to MOV is
required.

Once the learning curve has flattened, this is trivial and works well.

Re: table of contents font size

[phil]

My data is wide.  Maybe 100 characters in a fixed field format.

it's lab data, which I use a python script to bring into a .lyx doc.

My script automatically formats with lyxcode and breaks up the data into 
sections, then make a .pdf with TOC.


Since almost everyone has 8.5x11 printers, I use that size for the paper.

I have to make all the text footnote size with typewriter font to get 
everything to align and look pleasing to the reader.


I'm going to try what you mentioned.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Phil,

I'm curious about the above.

Why is your document very wide?

Can you change the page layout to landscape (11 x 8.5)?

Many of my documents use a custom page size of 6 x 9.5 with default 10pt
body text fontsize. When printed on letter-size paper there are large
margins for ease of reading or writing notes. Perhaps changing your 
default

page size and orientation will allow you to use a readable fontsize,
especially for eyeballs with more than 40 years wear on them.

Rich

Hi LyXer's

My TOC font is too small.

I am using the article class with typewriter font.

How can I make the TOC font larger?

I tried to put ERT around the TOC as \being{LARGE} \end{LARGE} but
had no success.

Any tips?


You need to use a package like tocloft

https://ctan.org/pkg/tocloft

See if this example helps (I did not test it)

https://www.kronto.org/thesis/tips/format-toc.html


I was able to figure it out.

I didn't realize that the TOC used the font that is used the body of the 
document.


I have all my sections in footnotesize.   I do that because my document 
is very wide and so I reduce the size of the text so that it will fit on 
8.5 x 11.


The problem is that the TOC is too small to read.

So I just had to increase the font size for all my section titles.

Thanks for you suggestion on tocloft, that's helpful too for further 
customization.

Branches and description environment

[Phil Fong]

I am trying to have items in the description environment that only appear in 
one branch,  If I select those items and then select insert branch, everything 
inside the branch becomes one be item without a description.  View source shows:
\begin{description} 
\item [{item}] explanation
\item [{branch\_only\_item explanation}]~\end{description}

If I set the environment inside the branch to be description, it ends up trying 
to nest the branch items into one item in the outer list.  This gives a latex 
error when I try to generate the pdf.  View source shows:
\begin{description}
\item [{item}] explanation
\item [{\begin{description}
\item [{branch\_only\_item}] explanation\end{description}

How do I get a description list with some items that only appear in a branch?

thesaurus for lytex

Zooming of graphics

When you zoom in and out by adjusting the zoom setting in

SVG files with linked bitmap

[Phil Fong]

I'm not sure if this is a problem with Lyx, Inkscape, or their interaction.

I created a SVG file in Inkscape with a linked bitmap image in it. The SVG file 
and image are in the same directory as my Lyx file. I made sure the reference 
to the bitmap in the SVG does not have any path part in it by right clicking on 
the image and selecting Image properties.  This image is placed in a figure 
float in my Lyx file.

If I move all the files (Lyx, SVG, and PNG) to another directory or computer, 
the SVG file opens and displays correctly in Inkscape and Firefox, but in Lyx 
and in the generated PDF it shows linked bitmap not found instead of the bitmap 
image.  Lyx is configured to use Inkscape as the conversion program for SVG to 
PDF and SVG to PNG.  The problem occurs on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

What is Lyx doing differently when it calls Inkscape to convert the file than 
when I open the image in Inkscape?

Re: Portable version of LyX? [solved]

[Phil]

 

 
 
 Just replace the LyX folder of the LyteX folder with the new one.
 
 Phil

 This is very easy and does its job fine. Why then this projekt ist
 abandoned? It should be easy to do and it ist very important for the . 


I use LyTeX for my LyX and it seems to be just fine, although it's version 
1.6.5 
and i haven't 

wanted to chance an upgrade to 2.0 for fear of compatibility problems..or 
completely knocking
out my LyX. 

So I might be willing to try this idea to make a new folder and renaming the 
old 
one.  That won't 

break anything and I could always go back if it doesn't work as I expect... or 
even .. I could just
copy and make two flash drives; one with 1.6.5 and one with 2.0.

Could you be specific on how you make a new lyx folder?.. I mean what do you 
download and install
to make just the folder and not install the full system with miktex, etc.  

Thanks,
Phil

 I want to plot a square / circle over a graph (in pdf format) to
 highlight certain sections. I rmember that it is possible, but I do

maybe there is an easier way... but what I usually do is use pstricks with 
powerdot (I assume you can 

use the same technique with beamer) and then after I insert my graphic I add in 
a \psgrid to 

find the coordinates and then I put in a \psframebox or \psellipse where I want 
to highlight.

JabRef and Lyx on Mac

[Phil Underwood]

Hi there,

I am having troubles with JabRef 2.5 and LyX 1.6.4.1 running with MacTex-2009
on Mac OS X 10.6.2. I am new to these tools and the Mac platform, so I haven't 
ruled out the possibility that I am doing something wrong. Are you able to tell
from the explanation of my problem below whether I have a technical or user 
fault:

I have configured my LyXServer path in LyX and Path to LyX pipe in JabRef 
both to: /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyxpipe

I then start a new *.lyx file in LyX.

I then highlight the references I would like to push to LyX and click the 
Push selection to LyX/Kile button in JabRef.

At this point it is confirmed that the two are communicating with each other as 
the predefined 'Bibtexkey' appears in square brackets on the new *.lyx 
document, i.e.  [Author2009] . However, when I view the file in any format
(PDF or PostScript) the reference appears on the document to be simply a
question mark in square brackets -  [?] , and not the full reference as 
expected.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Phil

Re: JabRef and Lyx on Mac

[Phil Underwood]

Hi Rob,

I'm still having the same issue, even after Julio's suggestion and so am now 
entertaining your suggestion.

BibDesk is the same one that came with MacTex? Do you have a preferred tool? 
The screenshots of Mendeley look nice. Is it a native Mac application?

Also, do you know if there's an easy way to import my existing JabRef *.bib 
database with either tool?

Cheers,
Phil

Re: Powerdot slides off screen--no control of orientation?

[Phil]

For me, it works only if remove option.nopsheader
 

 I've tried putting nopsheader, orient=landscape, mode=present,
 paper=screen into the class options to no avail.  Page layout is greyed
 out as well.

exporting HTML - elyxer error

[Phil]

LyX 1.6.4, Windows XP

Anyone have any idea why my HTML export does not work...?

I get an error saying ... error occurred whilst running elyxer.py -Directory 
C:/Documents Settings... 


  

Re: exporting HTML - elyxer error

[Phil]

I don't recall how I setup the elyxer.py converter.It was awhile back when 
elyxer was first mentioned.

I just upgraded my 1.6.3 to 1.6.4 this week and it was recognized (I guess) 
during the install.

Anyway,  I modified the converter line to read elyxer.py $$i $$o and it is 
now working..

Phil

  Can you tell us how you configured LyX to recognize eLyXer? Depending
 on the method there are various things that could have gone wrong.

Re: How do i plot a function?

[Phil]

   i would like to plot a simple function like
 f(x)=3x^2.  

I found an example I had to make a graph using pstricks.

 message that reconfiguration had failed.   

Make sure this line is in the layout file.  I believe the copy and paste 
removed the end of line feed after the #.   The line should look like this and 
then you should be able to reconfigure.

Re: How do i plot a function?

[Phil]

 
 i would like to plot a simple function  

I would try to use pstricks package for this.I have not used it recently 
but I do recall that I generated the data points for my function and then used 
pstricks code in ERT to include the datafile in my LyX doc.
