But the second part of your request still works for this. If you set width or height to a given percentage and set the other dimension to "Default", the aspect ratio will be kept. By the way: This also works if you give a fixed size (in inch or cm) for one dimension.

Latex Class Trouble
Here is my problem, and any and all help is appreciated.
I am trying to use a thesis class from latex in lyx. I have read the
customization file and also many of the emails to this archive and I must
admit I am still stumped.
What is happening: I can get the lyx document menu to show my class
(ucdthesis), but it tells me
"unable to use document class. Reverting to original class"
What I have Done: I created a ucdthesis.layout file in ~/.lyx/layouts
which is as follows
#% our love is a many splendored thing or something
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[ucdthesis]{ucdthesis}
>>> then because I read it on one of these posts, i ran texhash (which
apparently is just a pointer to mktexlsr). I have stored in many
directories my file ucdthesis.cls. I have stored it in
~/.lyx/tex,~/.lyx/layouts,~texmf, and /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc.
If it is supposed to transfrom the ucdthesis.cls file into something, i
have not seen it. Oh, and of course I ran reconfigure in lyx and
restarted it. I am a broken man and in need of help, what have I
missed(not knowing a bit of latex)?
Did I:
1)not put the .cls file in the correct place?
2)incorrectly ran mktexlsr?
3)have a foul .cls file?
4)have trouble reading documention or more likely,
5)anger the gods

ps. I like lyx and the people in my lab are becoming excited about its
power. If you can help me surmount this problem you will have gained at
least 10 people more to the cause. viva lyx!
subtitle?
I have a paper with a short title and a subtitle, but there is no defined style for 'subtitle'. Can someone point me in the direction for defining one (I am using AMS Article). As with my previous query, would some preabmle do the job? Thanks Tony
Still stuck on Solaris
Hi, Thanks to those who responded to with suggestions regarding my problem getting Lyx to work on Solaris 2.6.1. Unfortunately, none of the suggestions hit the mark. Let me re-describe what appears to be the crux of the problem perhaps a bit more clearly. Operating System: Solaris 2.6 Compiler: gcc 2.7.2 Lyx versions tried: 1.01 pre-built binary 1.03 built from source 1.04pre built from source Problem: Can't export LaTex file. A ".tex" file is created, but size is always 0 bytes. No error or warning messages are generated. Any suggestions? Thanks. --- David F.

document classes
Hi all, I think, there are many people who creates their own documentclasses (*.layout/*.inc - files) for LyX. I want suggest to install an archive for such user created files on this sites. regards -- Ralph Döring
Previews of EPS in colour (or not!)
I've just used EPS figures for the first time, and there's an oddity: while the pictures are drawn in colour correctly when I preview the PostScript, the picture in the LyX window doesn't appear in colour, even though I've ticked the "Colour" option; instead it appears as greyscale. Is this correct? A related matter: probably others have asked for this, but it would be most useful to scale a picture by a %age of its size, and have the option to keep the aspect ratio when scaling it (e.g. if "Keep aspect ratio" were selected, then it would be possible only to select one scaling method, not both horizontal and vertical). -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | certain, a. insufficiently analysed

widow and orphan control
Is there a latex or lyx package of some kind that adds widow and orphan control? Just in case I am not using standard words: widow: The last line of a paragraph containing seven or less characters. orphan: The last line of paragraph appearing as the first line in a column. These are considered undesireable in some cases and I would like to know if there is any latex or lyx way of automatically removing them. Darrin

put in your latex preamble of the text:
\renewcommand\subsection{\@startsection{subsection}{2}%
\z@{.7\linespacing\@plus\linespacing}{.5\linespacing}%
{\normalfont\bfseries}}
and for "subsubsection"
\renewcommand\subsubsection{\@startsection{subsubsection}{3}%
