In older versions of LyX, you could insert \bind commands directly into
lyxrc. Now, with the GUI-configuration, .lyx/lyxrc is discarded and the
preferences set with Edit>Preferences are saved to .lyx/preferences.

As \bind commands in the .lyx/preferences file might be overwritten with
the next save from Edit>Preferences, I recommend creating a custom *.bind
file and call it via Edit>Preferences. The \bind_file command is used to
call the standard bind files from there.

Example: I have a file ~/.lyx/bind/gm.bind

# Since LyX 1.1.6 the keybinding file is set in a GUI dialog. Where in

The lines must go in a local bind file,
If they are patched directly in the lyxrc or preference file, 
it won't work.

All you have to do is cretae a local.bind file in ~/.lyx/bind
or /usr/share/lyx/bind, patch the oe lines in it together with
any other stuff (here I have the code to use the copy, paste, find,..keys
of my sun keyboard), \bind to cua or emacs and
change the preferences binding to local.

If there is a file ~/.lyx/preferences, it is read instead of ~/.lyx/lyxrc.
In fact, I'd rather surprised ~/.lyx/lyxrc is read at all...

Nope you're right. Here's the code:

readRcFile("lyxrc.defaults");
system_lyxrc = lyxrc;
system_formats = formats;
system_converters = converters;
system_lcolor = lcolor;

// If there is a preferences file we read that instead
// of the old lyxrc file.
if (!readRcFile("preferences"))
readRcFile("lyxrc");

So, shove all the stuff in ~/.lyx/lyxrc in the ~/.lyx/preferences file and
away you go.

Thanks, this works fine...but for some reason, only if I have no

file is ignored.

I can get around this problem by adding the lines to the preferences
file, but I presume they'll be lost if I change any of the

Re: Dot and Cross Products

[Bruce Pourciau]

The Math Panel does not seem to contain the size dot one needs for the
dot product of vectors, namely, a dot bigger than \cdot but smaller than
\bullet. Steve suggested \centerdot, which does give a dot of about the
right size, but it's not centered--it's too low, almost at the baseline.
I suppose I could read up on how to raise the \centerdot, but you'd
think there would be a simpler way.

Bibliography problem

[Isa Usman]

Hello,

I have a multi-part document with chapters as separate files. I've put
the bib file within a separate lyx file. When i run lyx to get the
output under linux, my bibliography doesn't appear. But under a windows
installation it does.

All my file paths for images etc within lyx are relative and they show
up okay. In both cases lyx (ver 1.3.3) can see the bib file when i'm
inserting citations.

This is the directory structure that i have got.

This is the scaling of the figure in the paper output, right?
You should set the units combobox for the horizontal scale to something
other than %scale.

I think I encountered this error also, but was too lazy to report it. I
never looked at the dvi, because I made a postscript version outside of lyx
with a Makefile, but the lyx screen was broken. Another possibility to get
this error is to open a document with a lot of figures (~ 50 and not much
text in my case) and scrolling too fast to the bottom while they are
converted.

Since tgif produces vector graphics, both ways are suitable, but the lyx way
is a bit faster and more flexible. Scaling in lyx is done by right clicking
on the image and then entering the width and/or height values. You can
choose between values like 3cm, 50% of the textwidth or 150% of the natural
image width etc.

Hi Rich, I had this problem writing my thesis and I did resolve it, but I 
do not remember all the details, however, I think I can give you a general 
idee how to solve it. You should right click on the graphics and in the 
midle tab chose "clip to bounding box" and "get from file". 

You probably have do this every time you change the size of the eps. If 
this does not work try to turn off the clip to bounding box. I seem to 
remember that I had to try several ways, and that in some 
cases I needed to turn on "clip to bounding box", then "get from file" and then 
remove the "clip to bounding box".

I hope this help, I would be explain better if I understood more :).

  Er, ... no. I see that I wasn't clear because I didn't know about the
display and scale options. (Don't see them on the menus, either.)

  I use 'tgif' to create the figures for the book. (This is not intended to
produce a side thread on vector-graphic tools for linux; I found tgif the
easiest to learn and produce the types of illustrations I need.) When the
illustration is too small on the typeset page for the text to be read I need
to make it larger. I do this in 'tgif', save and print (which produces the
.eps flavor).

  When I then view both the lyx figure float and the xdvi output the
newly-expanded figure covers part of the caption.

  If scaling the figure is the proper way to enlarge it then I need to learn
how to do this.

Many thanks!

LyX's math editor doesn't sanity-check your latex. If you input garbage,
then garbage is what you get.

The latex way is to use 'Floats' to contain your figures. The Float inset
will allow you to insert a caption. See attached file which now works
perfectly.

So, you have a figure float containing a graphic and a caption:

float:Figure

| Figure #: The caption to your figure |
|--|

If you fire up the Graphics dialog and set the "LyX Display->Scale:" entry

Nope, I don't see that. Can you send a small test case illustrating the

Fig.2 The relation between animal gain and stocking rate (Jones & Sandland
1974).
Using different stocking densities they determined experimentally that
the gain in mass per animal (Average Daily Gain) drops linearly with an
increase in stocking density having a relationship of the form:
\begin_inset Formula Y = a - bx
\end_inset
(Y is ADG per animal, x is stocking density and a and b are parameters
determined experimentally).
The production per hectare on the other hand, is a relationship of the
form:
\begin_inset Formula Y = ax -bx^{2}
\end_inset
with the same parameters as above.
In this example, up to about 1 animal per hectare there is no change in
productivity per animal, usually ascribed to too much low-quality 
vegetative
material (Morris et al.
1999) or maximum gain physiologically possible (Jones and Sandland 1974).
Then, when the "critical stocking rate" is reached, there is a linear drop
in production per animal.
Assuming no change in the vegetation, the economic carrying capacity (max
production per hectare) is reached at a stocking density of about 2.6 
animals
per hectare and if reproduction equals mortality (K) at the point where
animals only just maintain their own body mass, ecological carrying 
capacity
is reached at a stocking density of about 4.8 animals per hectare.

Guenter,

  I left the Layout->Document->Page style as "default" (but I have no idea

  No, I didn't. The problem was only with the interior pages of the Preface.
I guess I need to learn a lot more LaTeX in addition to my comfort with LyX.

Re: tabular - horizontal width

[Lyx User]

Thanks for your pointer.
I think what I actually need is a tabular* instead of the
tabular environment (and with rubber space), but I don't think that is
possible in lyx.

I would like the equivalent of 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]|l|l|}
a a a a a & b b b b b b \\
\end{tabular*}

Jonne.

tabular - horizontal width

[Lyx User]

Hi all,

My question concerns the tabular environment.
I have a tabular with two columns and I want the full tabular to be
exactly 1.0\textwidth width (horizontal width equal to text around the
tabular).
I tried to give column one width "20 text%" and column two "80 text%",
but that does not work out, the sum is bigger than "100 text%". I assume
because borders/margins are not included in the column's width.
I also tried one column of "100 text%" which also is too wide (I didn't
forget \noindent).

Are those units documented somewhere? Like text%, line%, col%, etc.?
Can I solve this problem using a LaTeX argument?

Thanks.

And your humble opinion is based on what exactly? 

That said, modern version of xdvi and kdvi support 'source specials' which
encode the equivalent position in the raw latex (or lyx) file. João
Assirati has added code to the 1.4.x tree that will enable you to click on
the xdvi (or kdvi) screen and the view in lyx will change accordingly.

You have to edit the bst file (or create a new one with "latex makebst",
which is very straightforward).

If you are using plainnat.bst, save a copy "myplainnat.bst" and edit the
lines 216 and 302, changing
{ "," * }
to
{ "" * }
Don't forget to run texhash afterwards.

View of Lyx

[Jan Smid]

Hi,

because I can better concentrate when reading a real piece of paper, I often 
print out several pages of my thesis to correct them manually and then 
transfer the corrections back into the lyx document. When doing this, it is a 
little bit annonying to orientate in the text on the screen because the 
screen view is totally different from the print version. Is it somehow 
configurable to let the text on screen appear a little bit more like the 
printed version?
I know that the typesetting is done by latex; but IMHO it should be possible 
to somehow "guess" how the document will probably look like.

TIA

Oi, :-)

 Are there so many of those issues to demand a list? Usually this is a good 
place to put those question as most of the problems are common to several

Re: \thispagestyle{empty} not working for me

[Jean-Pierre Chretien]

>>  Why does the explicit \pagestyle{empty} fix the problem when

\thispagestyle{empty} *was* sufficient by itself, as your modified example
shows.

In fact we can forget all what was said about fancy stuff, svmono
does not use at all fancyhdr package: the running headers and
footers are coded in the class.

So it's equivalent to remove header/footer formatting with a couple of
\pagestyle{empty}
\pagestyle{headings}
commands, or to act locally with \thispagestyle{empty}
The latter is clearly more appropriate for one page only.

Formal requirements for the assessment of environmental impacts of
development activities may have begun in the United States with the
passage of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1969, but
it now is found in more than 200 countries world-wide. The details
vary, but the underlying goals of minimizing environmental degradation
and improving environmental conditions are the same. In many countries,
these national requirements are supplemented by additional requirements
by states, provinces, counties, cities and other political division

Is this a probem with the paper output or with the view on the lyx screen?
If the latter, what frontend are you using?

Natbib citation style change?

[Rudi van der Linde]

Hi All,

I have looked in the Natbib documentation and could not find a solution to
my problem. I do not have a direct connection to the Internet and was unable
to do more research. I apologise if this is already listed in the archives /
wiki / etc.

I am using the \citet* command (native LyX) to generate a full list of
authors.

I get the following output in my document:
Yao, Smith, and Johnson.

Is it possible to remove the comma before the 'and', i.e. the output should
be
Yao, Smith and Johnson.

Many thanks
