Jonatan,
I am not sure now what you are aiming at. Is your figure a small one and the 
legend short, so that it would be better to have the whole float at the left? 
In this case you might consider the \usepackage[Option]{sidecap} as described 
in the EmbeddedObjects help menu. The \usepackage{caption} has also 
solutions. You could also consider using boxes or parboxes, but I am not 
familiar with it. I personally use twocolumns in my book (Koma-script) and if 
a float is small, I restrict it to one column, if large, spanning columns by 
clicking with the right mouse button on 
floatobject: figure  settings

text wrap figure misbehaving

2009-08-22 Thread James C. Sutherland
I have a text wrap figure that is inserted at the beginning of a  
paragraph.  After the paragraph, I have an enum environment with three  
items.  These span a page break.  The second item correctly wraps  
around the figure, but the third item is confused.


An example output that illustrates the problem, with some comments in  
the output, is available at

In a LyX beamer presentation, I would like to draw circles, rectangles,
arrows on top of text or images.

How to do that? Do you guys happen to have LyX templates that can do that?



For images, I prefer to use a pgfpicture environment, load the image and 
then use TikZ/PGF commands to annotate.  Here's a sample:


\begin{center}
\begin{pgfpicture}{0mm}{0mm}{50mm}{50mm}
\pgfdeclareimage[height=30mm,width=40mm]{myImage}{path_to_image}
\pgfputat{\pgfpoint{25mm}{25mm}}{\pgfbox[center,center]{\pgfuseimage{myImage}}}
\color{red}\pgfsetlinewidth{5pt}
\pgfcircle[stroke]{\pgfpoint{25mm}{25mm}}{15mm}
\pgfline{\pgfpoint{14.4mm}{14.4mm}}{\pgfpoint{35.6mm}{35.6mm}}
\end{pgfpicture}
\end{center}

This loaded a JPEG or PNG file and drew a red circle around it with a 
diagonal slash through it (the international symbol for stop).


I imagine something similar would work with text -- perhaps putting the 
text in TikZ nodes (with or without visible borders). The tricky thing 
about annotating text is that the annotations tend to be static, so you 
can't afford to have the text shift around.  I tend to think that means 
write the text in as some sort of image, not just ordinary LaTeX text. 
But I'm no expert on things LaTeX.

\renewcommand conflicts with ams?

2009-08-22 Thread James C. Sutherland
I am trying to alter the format of section headings.  I have something  
like



\renewcommand{\subsection}{ %
  \...@startsection{subsection}{2}{0pt} %
  {1.1ex plus 2.0ex minus 1ex}%
  {1.2ex plus 2.0ex minus 1ex} %

However, if I the AMS math package gets included by LyX, then any  
subsection* constructs break.  Is this a known conflict with AMS?


A simple recipe to reproduce:

1. add the above renewcommand to the document LaTeX preamble.
2. create a subsection and subsection* environment
3. In document settings - math options, disable AMS.

This compiles fine.

Now replace step 3 above by enabling AMS.  Now the subsection*

Hi,

What are the best fonts fdor readability. I'm not too fond of the CM 
fonts. However, if they are really the best I may stick to them. I've 
heard that Palatino is good too. I think I also heard Luxi mentioned 
(lucida?) but I'm not sure.

Comments? Is there a site that discusses this and provides tips for 
choosing?

Dear LyX-Users,

I have been trying for days now to get my Export LyX - OpenDocument

following link:

http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/459

in which it is suggested that the hyperref package can cause problems
with citations.  I disabled hyperref support and Shazam!!!  It worked

I am writing this message in the hopes that it may possibly save

Thanks for the tip!  That is a really nice package - I was not aware  
of it previously!  It does solve the AMS package conflict I had earlier.

Is this what you had in mind?  (Disclaimer: horrible kludge.  LaTeX

Best fonts for printed material (booklet, book)?

2009-08-22 Thread L Duperval
Hi,

What are the best fonts fdor readability. I'm not too fond of the CM 
fonts. However, if they are really the best I may stick to them. I've 
heard that Palatino is good too. I think I also heard Luxi mentioned 
(lucida?) but I'm not sure.

Comments? Is there a site that discusses this and provides tips for 
choosing?

Thanks,

L

export lyx to opendocument

2009-08-22 Thread G. Jay Kerns
Dear LyX-Users,

I have been trying for days now to get my Export LyX -> OpenDocument
to work.  I tried *everything*.  Somehow, I stumbled across the
following link:

http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/459

in which it is suggested that the hyperref package can cause problems
with citations.  I disabled hyperref support and Shazam!!!  It worked
perfectly.

I am writing this message in the hopes that it may possibly save
someone else the hours I have spent banging my head against the wall.

I also put a note on the LyX wiki under the section "When it Doesn't Work".

Cheers,
Jay
