EPS graphics rotating page
Hi all, I've got a formatted Excel spreadsheet that I need to insert into my document. Its got a heap of colour and formatting, so I can't just import it in as a LyX/LaTeX table. I have printed it out to an EPS file, and (eventually) I got it to insert into my LyX document. The problem is that it rotates the page when I view it in PDF, and when I try to print it just gives a blank page. It doesn't matter whether I rotate the figure in LyX, or even if I rotate the EPS, that page in the PDF output is rotated (as a landscape). Any clues?

It's even easier than that. If I bind \bind "C-f" "word-find-forward" then simply hitting C-f will find it again. All the pain is in the initial entry, having to type all (or most) of "word-find-forward". I'm using LyX 1.3.2-Qt, and following a hint from Andre, found that pops up what looks like an auto-complete function. But it seems, at least in 1.3.2, to just be a list of the possibliities, and I still need to type virtually the whole thing in, after putting the focus back in the minibuffer, as puts the focus back in the main screen after poping up the list! I'd expect I could select "word-find-forward" from the list poped up, but , and all do nothing. What's curious, per Andre's remarks, is that the command-execute "word-find-forward" and the "word-find-forward" function executed by the Search popup seem to be completely separate. I can search for "foo" in the Search popup, then M-X w-f-f "bar", and then I can alternately hop from "foo" to "foo" and "bar" to "bar" by pressing either the "Find_Next" popup button, or "C-f". Maybe there's utility in maintaining this separation, but I tend to think it'd be easier overall if the two mechanisms shared their strings. It'd sure make entering the initial w-f-f string easier! Thanks for all the insights. Jim

Furthermore, if you are searching for the same word (let's say gargoyle), then try typing this the first time: M-x word-find-forward gargoyle which will find you the firs ouccurence. Now, in order to find it again, type: M-x When you press , the mini-buffer will be filled with the previous command again (i.e. word-find-forward gargoyle) so when you press your search command is executed again. > > I tried binding "command-execute word-find-forward" but that just > > seems to pop me into the minibuffer, and when I type , I > > get (Unknown function: ).

AFAIK, there is no way to leave the focus with the mini-buffer... and the reason that "command-execute word-find-forward" only pops up the mini-buffer is (I'm guessing here) that command-execute doesn't take any arguments. Some suggestions for the future here would be: * Introduce a lyx-function that ends a command-sequence but leaves the focus in the mini-buffer, alternatively * Change 'command-execute' so that it's arguments are put in the mini-buffer and then the focus is put on the mini-buffer We really should get an warning message when we try to use a lyx-function with more arguments than it supports.. like with 'command-execute' above. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Change the "Target" entry to blahblahblah\lyx.exe -userdir and leave the "Start in" entry pointing to LyX's bin directory. Note that userdir is preceded by just a single dash, not a double dash. You should be able to set the user directory to any directory in which you have write permissions. You'll probably need to do Edit | Reconfigure the first time you use the modified shortcut.

Native Win32 1.3.3 ~ User Lyx directory setting mystery
Hello all, I just downloaded the new version of native Lyx (version 1.3.3, thank you Ruurd). I have installed it on two PCs, my laptop and my office PC. I am having problems with the office PC, as it is using P:/.lyx as the user home directory. And I get error messages if I try a reconfigure (i.e. the system cannot find the path specified). The laptop is using C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.lyx and everything runs smoothly on it. I copied over the Lyx main folder to the office PC (when running 1.3.2) hoping things would go smoothly but I decided to install the upgrade also and now things are starting to break. =( I had the Cygwin version installed before on the office PC, but this was working fine, I removed it before moving the native win32 version. What I am wondering about is how is the User directory defined in the win32 versions? I was used to changing the lyxprofile file in the Cygwin version or the Linux ports but I cannot find anything similar on the native win32 port. I never specified to use C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.lyx on the laptop... it just happened this way. Could it have been hardcoded by Ruurd? On my laptop I am running as user administrator, on the office PC I am using a login edesfonds (local admin rights, but not the same user name). On the office PC, I have my My Documents mapped to P:\My Documents, which is different from the laptop (I originally thought this was the problem). I am running Windows 2000 on both computers. Any ideas, suggestions, comments would be most welcomed. Cheers, Éric Desfonds

Advice for PhD thesis
Hi, I am rewriting an art icle to a chapter of my PhD thesis and for the time being I am using the report class. I would like my chapters to start with a page containing the chapter title and an abstract summarising the contents of the chapter. I tried to do this in the 'report' class but I encounter a few problems: - The abstract is typeset on page of its own. - After an abstract the page counter is reset. I guess report is not the right class to to this. Can somebody point me a class where I can achieve the following: 1) A chapter starts with a page containing the title and abstract, with a sane pagenumbering 2) I would like to have an bibliography at the end of each chapter. (I will have a look at chapterbib) 3) I do not want to have the chapter titles start with 'Chapter X' 4) I would like to be able to use the \frontmatter and \mainmatter commando's I think the standard book and its equivalent from komascript are good candidates, but I still don't know how to achieve 1). Can somebody give me some advice on how to achieve want I want? Another class or just a clever latex package? I have seen a few PhD theses written in LaTeX with this layout, so it has to be possible.

LC_ALL (or LANG) affects the program you actually *run*, in this case it is the Program dpkg, so the error messages from *dpkg* are in the set language. It has no influence on the stuff you install, but only on the diagnostic messages of the installer program. Nevertheless does LyX care for LC_ALL or LANG, so LC_ALL=C lyx gives you a LyX with an english interface while [EMAIL PROTECTED] lyx gives you a LyX with a german interface, but that is something different. (Note that this setting does not affect the language of the text you write with lyx -- this can be quite confusing :) > I added [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my /etc/environments and the problem with > the diffenernt language startup is solved thanks to your response.

noweb interface
With help I got the noweb interface running, but what I have does not seem worth using. Lyx now sports the 3 promised doc styles and if article(noweb) is used then lyx will offer to export to noweb, or ascii custom... I appear to have lost the ability to generate .ps, .dvi, .html etc. The noweb package says it can generate latex and html - but the html it produces is hopeless, and it does not come with the l2h filter its man page advises of. Lyx can re-ingest the .nw file it can export - but that seems to be about it. The noweb notangle command will collect the bits of embedded scrap code - but I could do much the same with a perl script ol 'Lyx code' segments, without loosing the other lyx facilities. For scilab maths such as I am currently doing I usually do the thinking and write up in a .lyx file and then generate the code using gvim. I had hoped to integrate these stages and end up with integrated documentation, but these tools do not seem to cut the mustard. I loose syntax highliting, paranthesis match, smart indent, name completion etc. etc. from the gvim side, and ease and quality of maths and graphics doc output from the lyx side, and gain extra hassle, for no obvious advantage. nountangle defaults to outputting C style comments - it will do a few others - but does not offer C++ style used by scilab and (and available to C++) There really should be advantage in integrating the maths and pictures and general layout facilities of lyx and the code editing facilities of gvim (or etc) and supporting the creation of good integrated documentation. This noweb stuff seems at this point a poor tool. Perhaps with a good knowledge of the tools it may be possible to coax it into some form of useful life - but I've got work I need to get done.

That is correct. Ruurd uses Qt 2.3.x to build these ports because that is the most recent version of the Qt library for Win32 released under the GPL. Unfortunately, it's buggy. LyX's licence will allow the compiled lyx code to be linked against a non-free (in the GPL sense) library, so the limitation isn't legal, but rather financial. If some kind soul were to donate a Qt commercial licence to lyx, then we'd probably feel honor bound to provide a Win32 lyx executable linked against it. Note, I say "probably" here. The above statement is my own personal take on things. It is not 'official' LyX policy and I don't want you to think I am speaking for any of the other developers when I make it. Alternatively, of course, someone might put in the grunt work and write a frontend that uses a GPL-ed GUI library that will run on Win32.

You've probably chjosen a text class with chapters (like 'book')
Use something 'smaller' if you don't want chapters ('report' or
'article' or such)

Re: installing cvs snapshot
Hi Holger, (sorry for replying to you directly) one thing first: to get the error messages in english (which would be more helpfull when posting in an english list), enter LC_ALL=C dpkg -i xxx So you don't have to translate yourself (not that it would have been bad) On Sun, 14 Dec 2003 22:55:08 +0100 "Holger Zebner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: [installing deb package] > [error while processing lyx_1.4.0cvs-1_i386.deb (--install): > try to overwrite »/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmex10.pfb« > which is as well in package tetex-extra] Checkinstall seems to include /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmex10.pfb into the lyx package. (As I'm sure that lyx doesn't ship with cm-type1 fonts this is most certainly a checkinstall bug). As this file is already in the tetex-extra package the debian package management system prevents istallation, which is perfectly fine. What you have to do is prevent checkinstall from including this file into the deb package, unfortunately I don't know how, maybe checkinstall has the ability to exclude some files from the built package. As an alternative maybe you can use stow instead of checkinstall: $ apt-get install stow $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/lyx-1.4.0cvs-20031215 $ make && su -c "make install" $ cd /usr/local/stow $ stow lyx-1.4.0cvs-2003-12-15 and voila, lyx is accessible in /usr/local/bin/lyx. (To uninstall it, use $ stow -D lyx-1.4.0cvs-2003-12-15 in /usr/local/stow). My 2c, Karsten

Memoir class and Inserting Index entry on LyX 1.3.3
Okay to keep this straightforward:
There are two bugs at work here.
Bug #1 using Memoir Class
Switching from book class to memoir to continue work on a novel works so
long as I do not insert an Index. It complains with the following error:
LaTeX Error: Command \see already defined.
\newcommand*\see[2]{\emph{\seename} #1}
Your command was ignored.
Type Ito replace it with another command,
orto continue without it.
Removing the Index entry results in the error being resolved and
View/export to DVI/PDF/HTML, etc works.
Bug #2 adding index entry after entering a return/enter newline call
from the keyboard crashes LyX.
Scenario: Tested with Book class and Memoir class to rule out class
specific issues.
On the last/current written chapter with the following layout:
Text included to help visualize the situation:
"I have felt this before. I musn't focus on the fire. I musn't focus on
her twin,
[INDEX]
Appendix A
If I put an index entry just after twin, of course it gives me the
desired Idx tag to then name it so it knows where to reference the term,
twin and from what page it is being referenced.
Now if I hit return/enter to get a new line within LyX and then go
Insert->Index Entry then lyx crashes.

Learn to insert the symbols using the keyboard ;-) Seriously: All symbols can be inserted by typing their LaTeX name, i.e. \exists\alpha\in\Omega. Andre'

Templates Shouldn't Override Language Preferences
I have American set as my default language (partly due to a bug in my tex distro where it defaults to the UKenglish behavior for \today), but that doesn't effect a new document from the template unless I change that setting for the specific document. I don't know if there are other instances of where the global prefs should override the behavior encoded in the templates, but the language setting seems like a good candidate. Sean

It works for me (LyX 3.1.3 on Debian Linux). Lets see:
The scrlttr2.layout starts with
#LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
\lyxformat 221
\textclass scrlttr2
\begin_preamble
also scrlttr2 is the layout file. Looking there we find
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[scrlttr2]{letter (koma-script v.2)}
# KOMA scrlettr2 textclass definition file.
# Juergen Spitzmueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 2003/2/17.
ok.
Maybe your scrlttr2.layout file reeds
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[scrlettr2]{letter (koma-script v.2)}
in the second line? Change the [scrlettr2] to [scrlttr2] and try again.
(If you are on Unix/Linux, copy scrlttr2.layout to ~/.lyx/layouts and change
there).

Insert the string above like:
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
Doing this you will underpress the toc to show as first entry
"Contents". All other things will be shown.
