Re: Caption horizontally as long as the width of the picture

Dear All
How can one have a caption horizontally as long as the width of the
picture?
One way is to use LyX's subfigure caption that is located under Extra
Options of your Graphics object, but this introduces perhaps unwanted
side effects (you gain a sub-figure, which is numbered (a), (b), (c),
etc. by default). (If this interests you, take a look at the package
subfig, which offers numerous options.)
Another quick way which should work...
1. Create your figure
2. Add graphic
3. Note/set width of graphic
4. Delete default Figure #
5. Add a LyX minipage below graphic (inside float)
6. Inside minipage using ERT add \caption{Your caption goes here...}
7. Set width of minipage to same as graphic (right-click inside
minipage)

An upright Q inside math, then it should be 2^{\mathrm{Q}}.
An upright Q outside math, then it should be \textrm{2\textsuperscript{Q}}

thank you!
Hello! I wanted to thank everybody on this list for their help! I also wanted to thank all developers and all people who otherwise contribute to the development of LyX. I have finished my dissertation and defended my thesis successfully. LyX Beamer made it very easy for me to concentrate only on the things that mattered (like the text of the dissertation ;)) and with the help of this mailing list I have solved every peculiar problem that I created. I must say that I found LyX extremely useful and stable! It is obvious that it's being developed by people who both enjoy it know what they are doing! While I started using LyX because I was lazy writing equations in plain LaTeX, I ended up using LyX for my daily needs. Thank you again!! David

Thanks. for this. I think your instructions apply to lyx. But I'm
attempting to do the same thing in kile.
I suppose if I knew how to define the position according to

from the bottom right hand side of the slide.
What are the coordinates of a slide? How are they defined?
What is, for example, the bottom left?
The bottom right?
The top left?
The top right?
The centre?
I should be able to work from there.
Unless there's an easier way to do it. I see that latex speaks about
center, but it won't let me choose right.
Here is a trick I use to position a figure.
Put the following in the preamble:
\newcommand{\putat}[3]{\begin{picture}(0,0)(0,0)\put(#1,#2){#3}\end{picture}}
and then in the text:
\putat{130}{-100}{\includegraphics{...}}
In LyX it would be:
\putat{130}{-100}{ - in ERT
graphics inset
} - in ERT
The horizontal (first parameter) and vertical (second parameter)
displacements are in terms of \unitlength (default is 1pt) and are
relative to the position where the \putat command appears.
Note that when \putat is defined as done above, the figure
(or whatever) does not take space in LaTeX.
Hope this helps.

You can also do this with the textpos package. In the preamble of the
beamer file, add \usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}. In the slide
where the graphic should go:
\begin{textblock*}{50mm}[1,1](118mm,86mm)
\includegraphics...
\end{textblock*}
The width 50mm should be changed to the estimated width of the graphic.
The option [1,1] says that the position specified is for the bottom
right corner of the block. The coordinates (118mm,86mm) are based on
the default 1cm margins on a 128mm x 96mm beamer slide.
This approach suffers from exactly the same problem as the \putat
approach: the image occupies no space, so text on the page will
overprint it.
An alternative is to create a 2x2 table with no borders, merge the two
columns in the first row, and give the merged first row and the left
column of the second row fixed widths (so that text in them will wrap,
and multiple lines are allowed). Put the graphic in the lower right
cell. This introduces some extra vertical space between lines in the
first row of the table and lines in the second row, left column, plus it
requires you to manually juggle lines to balance the two rows. Not very
satisfactory, but at least the graphic will not be overprinted.

Hi, First of all I would like to say that like LyX a lot. Nice software. There are some small issues, however, I hope someone can help. Some math glyphs are displayed incorrect on screen; however the output dvi,pdf is ok. How to reproduce: 1. New document 2. Menu: Insert / Math / Inline Formula 3. Use math pannel to insert any operator, e.g. if I click the button with the plus-minus (\pm), on screen I get the paragraph glyph. Or \cup results in '['. Note: I did a full install of MikTeX 2.4.1461 with *all* packages. I did not change any configuration setting. Screen fonts are: Times New Roman Verdana Courier New I run Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (also Microsoft Office 2003 is installed so all it's fonts are there). Met vriendelijke groet, Peter
LyX 1.3.7 Win32 + MikTeX 2.4.1461: New LyX document from template fails (for many templates) with error missing TeX class
Hi In LyX 1.3.7 Win32 + MikTeX 2.4.1461: Trying to create a new LyX document from template fails for many templates with error missing TeX class. For example: aa.lyx results in: ``Textclass error The document uses a missing TeX class aa. LyX will not be able to produce output. I did a MikTeX refresh file name database and refresh format files. That didn't help. I did a search in c:\texmf for aa.*; only aa.4ht shows up. I have done a full install of MikTeX (and an update today). Met vriendelijke groet, Peter

As far as I know, 'aa' is not available as part of the MiKTeX distribution. If you want to use it, you need to download it, install it manually, then update the MiKTeX file database. In LyX, Help-LaTeX Configuration will display a list of what LyX looks for and what it found, and in many case (including 'aa') a pointer to where you can find it on CTAN. Broadway is another class that is not available within MiKTeX but for which LyX has a layout. Note that, after installing classes in MiKTeX, you need to start LyX, run Edit-Reconfigure, wait for the configuration script to complete, then close and restart LyX to get the benefit of the new classes. /Paul

It seems you simply want to plot points on a grid whose intersections correspond to row and columns in your matrix of ones and zeros. (Isn't that what Herbert's code did? Perhaps you just needed to scale the grid? Or set the background to same color as the zeroes?) Processing (see prev. post) would also do this for you in perhaps 6 to 8 lines of code. -- Kevin Pfeiffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiros-Translations

Installing Lyx on nfs
HI, I have no idea if this topic has been discussed before or not. If yes then give me pointers to that. We have a linux network and i want the lyx to be centrally available so that each user is virtually using the same lyx. How this can be done ? The epitome of this exercise is that each time a layout/style/class has to be added then we have to update only on central server and each user will be able to access it. We already have a nfs server. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Thanks Arun __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Thanks to the the team too for the education provided me by my reading on this list. Questions I did not even know I had, answered and so clearly that I can implement them without further ado.

There are 3 characters on my screen, in two lines. I get SIX errors with those 3 characters. Answer: it's the \textmf that causes ALL six errors. (and all 35 errors in my original file). All from a a single, obviously misplaced, \textmf tag that I DID NOT INSERT (or knowingly insert. I don't USE different fonts in my document!) Seems you have found a bug in lyx, then. When I write 2^Q (in math mode), I get something that works. However, if I select the formula and change the font, I do get the same problem as you. This problem exists in lyx 1.4 too. If, however, I write 2^Q as text, then select it and press ctrl+M (to turn it into a formula, then I also get that problem. This time without doing any font change. This problem does not exist in the soon to be lyx 1.4, so it will go away. So I suggest, as a workaround, that you press ctrl+M first, then type your formula in math mode. Then it will work. You may also note that a formula _not_ using the troublesome \textrm will show up as blue in the lyx window, where the wrong formulas are black. I have just manually removed the \textmf from the .lyx file and now it works. Questions: What key sequence would have inserted \textmf when ANY occurence of such text causes so many errors? Why doesn't LyX do the right thing when converting said text to LaTeX? Error in lyx. Why, when I erased the entire paragraph containing this string and retyped it, did the textmf string REAPPEAR in exactly the same place?? I had to go into the lyx file and manually delete the bugger. You probably type it the same way every time - I guess you write your formulas as text, then converts it to math? That technique doesn't work in lyx 1.3.4, although it is fixed in lyx 1.4. I recommend that you do it the other way; Activate math mode first (press ctrl+M or use the menus) then type in the formula. Helge Hafting

Re: Caption horizontally as long as the width of the picture
Paul Smith writes:
Dear All
How can one have a caption horizontally as long as the width of the
picture?
One way is to use LyX's subfigure caption that is located under Extra
Options of your Graphics object, but this introduces perhaps unwanted
side effects (you gain a sub-figure, which is numbered (a), (b), (c),
etc. by default). (If this interests you, take a look at the package
subfig, which offers numerous options.)
Another quick way which should work...
1. Create your figure
2. Add graphic
3. Note/set width of graphic
4. Delete default Figure #
5. Add a LyX minipage below graphic (inside float)
6. Inside minipage using ERT add \caption{Your caption goes here...}
7. Set width of minipage to same as graphic (right-click inside
minipage)

an upright math character, then I use \mathrm{..} and
sometime I want the text character. \mathrm takes all
from the _math_ font and ignores spaces! \textrm takes
all from the current text font and accepts spaces! This
is far different.
And by the way, the question is, what Marc had in mind?
An upright Q inside math, then it should be 2^{\mathrm{Q}}.
An upright Q outside math, then it should be \textrm{2\textsuperscript{Q}}

You may have done that inadvertantly, or you may be trying to get the 2^Q to display without the Q being italicized.

thank you!
Hello! I wanted to thank everybody on this list for their help! I also wanted to thank all developers and all people who otherwise contribute to the development of LyX. I have finished my dissertation and defended my thesis successfully. LyX Beamer made it very easy for me to concentrate only on the things that mattered (like the text of the dissertation ;)) and with the help of this mailing list I have solved every peculiar problem that I created. I must say that I found LyX extremely useful and stable! It is obvious that it's being developed by people who both enjoy it know what they are doing! While I started using LyX because I was lazy writing equations in plain LaTeX, I ended up using LyX for my daily needs. Thank you again!! David

Thanks. for this. I think your instructions apply to lyx. But I'm
attempting to do the same thing in kile.
I suppose if I knew how to define the position according to

from the bottom right hand side of the slide.
What are the coordinates of a slide? How are they defined?
What is, for example, the bottom left?
The bottom right?
The top left?
The top right?
The centre?
I should be able to work from there.
Unless there's an easier way to do it. I see that latex speaks about
center, but it won't let me choose right.
Here is a trick I use to position a figure.
Put the following in the preamble:
\newcommand{\putat}[3]{\begin{picture}(0,0)(0,0)\put(#1,#2){#3}\end{picture}}
and then in the text:
\putat{130}{-100}{\includegraphics{...}}
In LyX it would be:
\putat{130}{-100}{ - in ERT
graphics inset
} - in ERT
The horizontal (first parameter) and vertical (second parameter)
displacements are in terms of \unitlength (default is 1pt) and are
relative to the position where the \putat command appears.
Note that when \putat is defined as done above, the figure
(or whatever) does not take space in LaTeX.
Hope this helps.

You can also do this with the textpos package. In the preamble of the
beamer file, add \usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}. In the slide
where the graphic should go:
\begin{textblock*}{50mm}[1,1](118mm,86mm)
\includegraphics...
\end{textblock*}
The width 50mm should be changed to the estimated width of the graphic.
The option [1,1] says that the position specified is for the bottom
right corner of the block. The coordinates (118mm,86mm) are based on
the default 1cm margins on a 128mm x 96mm beamer slide.
This approach suffers from exactly the same problem as the \putat
approach: the image occupies no space, so text on the page will
overprint it.
An alternative is to create a 2x2 table with no borders, merge the two
columns in the first row, and give the merged first row and the left
column of the second row fixed widths (so that text in them will wrap,
and multiple lines are allowed). Put the graphic in the lower right
cell. This introduces some extra vertical space between lines in the
first row of the table and lines in the second row, left column, plus it
requires you to manually juggle lines to balance the two rows. Not very
satisfactory, but at least the graphic will not be overprinted.

They are automatically installed when you use this installer: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller You can also install them manually: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/BaKoMa4LyX-1.0.zip Don't forget to reconfigure LyX after this. regards Uwe
Re: LyX 1.3.7 Win32 + MikTeX 2.4.1461: New LyX document from template fails (for many templates) with error missing TeX class
Peter Hegt wrote: Hi In LyX 1.3.7 Win32 + MikTeX 2.4.1461: Trying to create a new LyX document from template fails for many templates with error missing TeX class. For example: aa.lyx results in: ``Textclass error The document uses a missing TeX class aa. LyX will not be able to produce output. I did a MikTeX refresh file name database and refresh format files. That didn't help. I did a search in c:\texmf for aa.*; only aa.4ht shows up. I have done a full install of MikTeX (and an update today). As far as I know, 'aa' is not available as part of the MiKTeX distribution. If you want to use it, you need to download it, install it manually, then update the MiKTeX file database. In LyX, Help-LaTeX Configuration will display a list of what LyX looks for and what it found, and in many case (including 'aa') a pointer to where you can find it on CTAN. Broadway is another class that is not available within MiKTeX but for which LyX has a layout. Note that, after installing classes in MiKTeX, you need to start LyX, run Edit-Reconfigure, wait for the configuration script to complete, then close and restart LyX to get the benefit of the new classes. /Paul

An illustration is at http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/spy.html Having not looked at Herbert's suggestion, I am now quite confused (as I would have guessed that that is what it does). It seems you simply want to plot points on a grid whose intersections correspond to row and columns in your matrix of ones and zeros. (Isn't that what Herbert's code did? Perhaps you just needed to scale the grid? Or set the background to same color as the zeroes?) Processing (see prev. post) would also do this for you in perhaps 6 to 8 lines of code. -- Kevin Pfeiffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiros-Translations

Editors for LaTeX-files with syntax highlighting
Hello LyXers, the next version of the windows installer will have support for editors with which LaTeX-files can be viewed with highlighted syntax. Currently I have built in support for jEdit, WinShell, TeXnicCenter, WinEdt, and WinTeX. The first editor that is found on the system will be set as viewer for LaTeX-files within LyX. Do you kow other editors that offer syntax-highlighting for LaTeX and run on Windows? thanks and regards Uwe
