Jürgen,
it turned out that I did not have the fig file in my folder. I was 
mislead by the correct figure name shown in the lyx file. In the case of 
'normal' figures lyx informs the user, that the file is missing. Can 
this feature be implemented also for the fig files?

Like this. Have a look at the External Material dialog, third pane

ok, got it now.


Why you insert the figure a second time as a PDF is beyond me.

I sent a wrong lyx-file, the second fig should have been omitted.

Thanks, Jürgen,
I think one mistake I made was, not to export the xfig figure as
combined PDF/LaTeX (both parts), which I now did. In the
Lyx:Graphics window I clicked Scale graphics (%) and changed the
output size from 50 over various smaller sizes down to 1 (%).
However, the figure pdf output does not change and is far to large.
This is the output I see on the terminal:

figure \ref{fig:recording of petal movement},

figure \ref{fig:recording of movement of single flowers}).

\begin{figure}

\begin{centering}


\input{Schrempf-Fig02.pdftex_t}\includegraphics[clip,scale=0.01]{Schrempf-Fig02}

May be I did not quite grasp what you ment.


You don't need to export the xfig figure to PDF. Just use the external 
template (Insert > File > External Material). This should work. If it 
doesn't, please send a MWE.

You can put it in the Scalebox inset (from the Graphic Boxes module).

about the figure in lyx

[Wei-Dong Lian]

hello,

I am including a figure in lyx through ERT command, e.g.
\includegraphics[width=0.2\columnwidth]{1_5_part_orignal_model_L10240X10240_R20_alternative.eps};

The problem was that the converted pdf file was not in the current path, but
the lyx cache path i.e. /tmp/x.
Thus, I got a error that

! Package pdftex.def Error: File
`1_5_part_orignal_model_L10240X10240_R20_alter

native-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found.


How to deal with this problem?

Have you tried using Insert  Graphics?

 The problem was that the converted pdf file was not in the current path, but
 the lyx cache path i.e. /tmp/x.
 Thus, I got a error that

 ! Package pdftex.def Error: File
 `1_5_part_orignal_model_L10240X10240_R20_alter

 native-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found.

 How to deal with this problem?

 Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi,

Includegraphics is written in separated file of tikz codes. Of course,
Insert-Graphics works perfectly.

Centrage horizontal des figure dans lyx 1.4.2

[THIBAULT Florent]

Bonjour à tous ,

Je suis en train de rédiger mon mémoire de thèse sous Lyx, tout se passe très 
bien à l'exception d'un détail : je n'arrive pas à centrer horizontalement les 
figures que j'insère dans les espaces « figure flottante »

A part l'utilisation, lourde et génératrice d'erreurs, de deux ressorts 
horizontaux, je n'ai pas trouvé de solution comme dans le cas des tableaux où 
il suffit de cocher l'option « tableau long ».

 

Quelqu'un pourrait il m'aider ?

Merci d'avance,

 

   Florent

 

Re: Centrage horizontal des figure dans lyx 1.4.2

[A. Scottedward Hodel]

If I understand the question correctly, you need to change the  
paragraph setting within the figure to be centered instead of  
justified.

figure* in LyX?

[Maciej Kalisiak]

When working with a two-column document in LyX, is there a way to specify 
floats which should span both columns? (i.e., \begin{figure*} in LaTeX)

Re: figure* in LyX?

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

If you right click the float box a load of options appear - one of which is 
Span Columns.


Check this box and all should be ok.

BTW in many cases the float will appear on the page following its position 
so if you want it to span two columns on page 2 make sure you place it 
somewhere on page 1.

I have done this from menu bar: Insert- Graphics - Lyx display: 'clicked/yes' show in

Use an Xfig figure in LyX with non-latin1 Special flagged text

[Kamil Anis]

Hello,

I use to make Xfig figures with Special flagged text quite often.
I mostly write english documets, but sometimes I need to make a
figure that includes non-english text -- namely the Czech.  A
block scheme is such an example (see the attachments).

I used a trick with TeX macros for typesetting accented
characters for a long time, but creating the figures in such a
way requires so much effort -- you need to rerun LaTeX several
times while editting the figure to get the final result. So I
decided to localize Xfig and put the figure (with non-latin1
characters) right into the LyX document in regular way. But there
were some problems that arised during this process. I finaly
found the solution so I'm gonna to describe what I did. Hope this
helps any one.

It's clear that you don't need to use TeX macros for accented
characters any more or do another fiddling around. You just
switch the keyboard layout and write the text directly into the
figure.

NOTE: I've tried this for Czech (iso8859-2) text only, so I hope
  it should work also for other alphabets. 

1) Localize Xfig

   Common instructions for Xfig localization can be found at

 http://member.nifty.ne.jp/tsato/xfig/latin/latin-e.html
   
   For example if you have transfig-3.2.3d-7 you need to nuthin'
   at all. You just make a symlink in your FIG2DEV_LIBDIR
   directory (usually in /usr/share/fig2dev/)
   
 czech.ps - cs_CZ.ps
   
   If there's no cs_CZ.ps file in that directory get the file
   czech.ps from the above site and put it into your
   FIG2DEV_LIBDIR directory.

   Set the locale to appropriate language
   
 export LANG=czech
 
   and run Xfig. You would be able to enter non-latin1 characters
   right from the keyboard.

2) Change the LyX template

   Add the -j option to the fig2dev command in the
   /usr/share/lyx/scripts/fig2pstex.py script so it will look
   like this 
   
 os.execvp(fig2dev, [fig2dev, -j, -Lpstex] +
 parameters + [filename, basename + .eps])

 os.execvp(fig2dev, [fig2dev, -j, -Lpstex_t] +
 parameters + [filename, basename + .pstex_t])

   Insert the figure to the LyX document via standard template:
   Insert  External Material...  Xfig and enjoy the result!


ADDITIONAL NOTES (and suggestions for the developpers):

In fact there's no need to change the LyX tempalte. You can
export the figure manually by Combined PS/LaTeX (both parts) and
include the *.pstex_t part into the LyX document via Insert 
Include File. Needless to say that inserting the *.fig file via
Insert  External Material  Xfig is much more comfortable since
Transfig creates both parts automatically.

So the secret that the non-latin1 characters appear right in the
typeset document lies in the missing -j option in fig2dev command
which provides the conversion from FIG format to another
languages. The -j option is always set when the figure is
exported manually from Xfig, so that's the reason why it works
with inclusion of *.pstex_t.

In fact I haven't found what the option -j does. There's no
description in fig2dev man page. But it's clear that it really
works with -j so I suggest to add this option to the future
releases of LyX, namely in fig2pstex script. Moreover it doesn't
affect the behaviour of the template at all.

   czech.ps from the above site and put it into your
   FIG2DEV_LIBDIR directory.

   Set the locale to appropriate language
   
 export LANG=czech
 
   and run Xfig. You would be able to enter non-latin1 characters
   right from the keyboard.

2) Change the LyX template

   Add the -j option to the fig2dev command in the
   /usr/share/lyx/scripts/fig2pstex.py script so it will look
   like this 
   
 os.execvp("fig2dev", ["fig2dev", "-j", "-Lpstex"] +
 parameters + [filename, basename + ".eps"])

 os.execvp("fig2dev", ["fig2dev", "-j", "-Lpstex_t"] +
 parameters + [filename, basename + ".pstex_t"])

   Insert the figure to the LyX document via standard template:
   Insert > External Material... > Xfig and enjoy the result!


ADDITIONAL NOTES (and suggestions for the developpers):

In fact there's no need to change the LyX tempalte. You can
export the figure manually by Combined PS/LaTeX (both parts) and
include the *.pstex_t part into the LyX document via Insert >
Include File. Needless to say that inserting the *.fig file via
Insert > External Material > Xfig is much more comfortable since
Transfig creates both parts automatically.

So the secret that the non-latin1 characters appear right in the
typeset document lies in the missing -j option in fig2dev command
which provides the conversion from FIG format to another
languages. The -j option is always set when the figure is
exported manually from Xfig, so that's the reason why it works
with inclusion of *.pstex_t.

In fact I haven't found what the option -j does. There's no
description in fig2dev man page. But it's clear that it really
works with -j so I suggest to add this option to the future
releases of LyX, namely in fig2pstex script. Moreover it doesn't
affect the behaviour of the template at all.
