I actually did try this earlier, using Acrobat Pro.

I've installed Python 2.5 and elyxer (along with LyX 1.6.1) under Windows XP.  
What, exactly is the command to type just to try what is described in the docs:

  cd lyx16\elyxer\docs
  ..\elyxer userguide.lyx userguide.html

Of course that won't work in Windows, since Windows doesn't know that elyxer is 
a python script.  So I did two things:  First, I changed the name from elyxer 
to elyxer.py.  And second, I tried this command:

  python -c ../elyxer.py userguide.lyx userguide.html

When Python starts, I get error message:

  File string, line 1
    ../elyxer.py
    ^

(I tried using both the Windows backward slash \ and the *nix forward slash/ 
but neither works.)

Once again, I'm stymied by something allegedly ported from *nix to Windows and 
either not working as it should or else not documented correctly.

What's the fix (beside fixing me_?

Trouble getting a powerdot output in landscape

[Robert Orr]

Hi list,

Has anyone had trouble getting a powerdot doc to create a landscape .pdf?

I just upgraded to 1.6.1 and re-installed everything (miktex, gv, gs, 
jabref,etc) but now my powerdot .lyx files display portrait instead of 
landscape in the .pdf output.  using ps2pdf to generate it.

I'm not sure what could have gone wrong.   Anyone have idea or maybe experience 
with such a problem?

Thanks


  

Re: Howto downgrade LyX 1.6.1 documents to LyX 1.5.5 documents?

Why do you want to downgrade?    



What influenced you to go back to 1.5.5?

Have to go back to the powerdot manual and see what that does, but apparenty it

to be removed to get a landscape .pdf, at least for me.

I had something the same happen when I upgraded to 1.6.1, but I can't remember

Some things to check:

Under DocumentSettingsDocument Class make sure you 
have display=slidesnotes (or something similar) in the Class Options

Under DocumentSettingsPage Layout select Landscape

Under DocumentSettingsPage Format select Letter (Default or A4 will give 
portrait PDF file, even if you select Landscape: Default changes the aspect 
ratio to fit Portrait, and A4 trims the right side to fit Portrait).

The last one is probably your problem.

 Hi List,
 
 I just found out that Lyx can also be used to create
 presentations.
 It'd be nice if a presentation could link to external
 audio or video material so I was searching and came across
 the Hyperlink function.
 
 I tried to call a simple text file from C:\file.txt but
 got the following error:
 
  Text\href{file:C:\file.txt}
 {file-link}
 The control sequence at the end of the top line
 of your error message was never \def'ed. If you
 have
 misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the
 correct
 spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
 and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
 
 Am I doing something wrong or is the function to be used
 otherwise in general?
 The User Guide isn't really clear on this topic.
 
 I am running Lyx 1.6.1 under WinXP.

LyX 1.6.x branch and MikTex

[Robert Orr]

Do I need MikTex 2.7 for the LyX 1.6.x branch?  

It seems to be working with 2.6

Re: graphic files

[Robert Orr]

I would just move them myself to the directory where you have your .lyx source 
file.

Then, open the .lyx file in a text editor, and then use find and replace to 
adjust the filename to the new location.

 I inserted a bunch of figures into a lyx document, using
 graphic files (png) that were temporarily located on my
 desktop (after performing many snapshots). I did this for
 like 10 files. I inserted these figures using
 Insertgraphicbrowse   ... etc.
 
 Now, I would like to delete those graphic pictures from my
 desktop, to clean things up. But I would really want my
 document to keep the figures. Is there any way that LyX can
 automatically import or move the
 figures used in my document to the same directory I the .lyx
 file is placed so that it keeps them when I then delete them
 from my desktop?
 
 I really hope I don't have to do this manually, i.e.
 moving each file and renaming the graphics location inserts
 in my .lyx document... That would be a major pain!
 
 I'd appreciate any help/suggestion.
 
 BTW: I use 1.5.6 on a Mac OS Leopard.

 And if your language is not on the list, and you know a

 I recommend Pygments (http://pygments.org) a very nice

 colouring package that generates, among other things, LaTeX
 which you
 then can include as a file in your LyX document.

Re: shrinking or spanning tables

[Robert Orr]

One thing you might try is to place the entire table inside
of  

\tiny{

TABLE HERE

}

 Hi all,
 
 I have a few large tables that dissapear off the edges of

 Is there a way to shrink a whole table?
 
 Thanks :)

Re: pstricks pst-pdf

[Robert Orr]

 Alternatively, I have
 attached my simple
   example... does anyone know how to make it work?
 
I use LyX 1.5.3 on Windows w/ MikTeX 2.6

I took your example and commented out the
%\usepackage{pst-pdf} from the preamble.  Then I used
ps2pdf from the view menu.It displayed properly.

with the pst-pdf I received an error saying missing
.sty file.

Re: Drawing graphs in lyx

[Robert Orr]

The easiest thing to do is draw them outside LyX and
then include the image.

However, pstricks package will do what you want.   
You can find some examples from the tips and tricks
link on the LyX page.

Re: custom layout

I did something similar.   I used a 1x2 table at each
step and in the table I put the graphic in one column,
the text in the other.

Perhaps that is workable for you too.

perfectly.

  a0poster.layout, but I haven't found any tips on
 what LyX tools to use to 
  create a poster.
 
  Should I use minipages and fixed floats for
 graphics and tables, or, should I 
  use columns? Any special handling of fonts? What
 about background decorations 
  or watermarks?
 
  Or, should I design a one-page (A4) landscape APA
 article layout and use a 
  tool like psa4toa0.sh to enlarge it?
 
  Anyone have an example a0poster that they produced
 with LyX that they could 
  share?
 
 I use the a0poster.cls LaTeX class, part of texlive,
 documented in 
 a0.pdf (German) or a0_eng.pdf (English) toghether
 with a home-made LyX style
 (a0poster.layout, see attachment).
 
 I found some examples of a0poster.cls use (without
 LyX) on the net and
 adapted it with use for LyX. (The result does not
 longer work, however since
 I switched from tetex to texlive and some packages
 are no longer there or
 changed a bit.)

Thank you... 

It might not be obvious to everyone.

I used the a0poster.layout that was attached but I had
to fix a couple of end of lines, then it worked
perfectly.

Re: For Lyx users, a problem in sharing a Lyx file

I used to try going into the file with the text editor
and changing the lyxformat tag so that the file
matched what version of LyX I was using.That
sometimes solved the program.

 Convincing your co-author to upgrade will minimize

 can open the document in his

Re: Powerdot users: how to create pdf?

[Robert Orr]

See section 8 of the user manual for powerdot.

I believe you want to use ps2pdf to generate the pdf
file.

Re: Cannot find a Tutorial for oding a beamer presentation

[Robert Orr]

Beamer is nice

Powerdot is also nicefor me, somewhat easier to
use.

LyX also has doc type slides which is easy to start
with.

 Inside any mathematical environment, just type
 \boxed followed by space that a 
 box appears.  You can even box multi-line equations
 by inserting in the box 
 any *ed math environment, like the Aligned,

If I understand your question, the answer might be to
just put the graphic inside of a table cell.

Re: How to scale tables in LyX

[Robert Orr]

This is very helpful to me.   Thanks for posting this.

One thing I did find strange is that it would only
work when the table was left justified.  If I tried to
center and scale it I received an error during the
latex run.

So, at least for now, I have to settle for keeping the
tables on the left side of the page.
