Exactly like it is described in the AMS documentation. The output on 
screen might be wrong IIRC, but LaTeX output is fine. Remember that a 
column in LyX is an '' sign in LaTeX, so if the documentation suggests 
something like

a=b+c

you have to create three columns in LyX:

Space around figures

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

Hi

I am using floatfigure to place figures in my document.  I wondered whether 
there was a way of specifying the space around the figue+caption (ie the whole 
float) where it is inserted in the document. At present it seems to be a 
linewidth above and below but for some of my figures that have graphics right 
up to the bounding box this doesn't produce results pleasing to the eye.

Any ideas?
 

Re: The AMS align environment

[Srinivas Nedunuri]

Georg.
Here's what I would like:

f(x)= 1+2+3
g(x,y) = 4+5

Here's what Lyx's version of the AMS align gives me if I use *3* columns (in
the dvi previewer so i'm pretty sure its what would get printed):

   f(x) = 1+2+3
g(x,y) = 4+5

I can get it to not right justify the stuff after the = sign by using *2*
columns and perhaps that is why the default align does only bring up two
columns. However, the left hand side is still right justified.

I can get exactly what I want using eqnarray, but I read somewhere that
align is prefered to eqnarray. Unf. from what I can tell, Lyx's
implementation of AMS align is doing something odd.

cheers

LyXWin not working on XP

[David Boutillier]

I am having difficulty getting LyXWin working properly. 

 

1) I have followed the detailed notes for installing LyXWin on XP from the
LyX/WindowsSetup page of the LyX wiki-wiki. 

 

2) I have opened LyX from a command window with the command lyx -dbg 3. In
the command prompt window. Among the things produced on the screen are: 

Path of binary: C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/bin/

Checking whether LyX is run in place. no

System directory search path: C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/Resources/lyx/;
C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/share/lyx/;usr/local/share/lyx

System directory: 'C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/share/lyx/'

User Lyx directory: 'C:/Documents and Settings/db/.lyx/' .

 

3) When I reconfigure I get a lot of stuff in the command window. Some of it
is as follows:

C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\share\lyx\..\..\bin;
C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\bin;c:\latex\imagemagick-6.2.3-q16;C:\LaTeX\texmf\miktex\bi
n;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\Sustem32\Wbem

Usage: C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\bin\sed.exe [OPTION] . 

.

configure: error: cannot find chkconfig.ltx script.

 

What does this error mean? How can I fix it? Also, I have the folders
c:\latex\gs, and c:\latex\ghostgm that are not mentioned in the search path.
I tried changing my PATH to include every folder with an .exe file that has
anything to do with LyX, but that hasn't seemed to make any difference. 

 

4) I have upgraded to a more recent version of sed. When I enter sed
-version into the command window, I get:

GNU sed version 4.1.4

 

5) I deleted the .lyx folder from c:\documents and settings\user name, and
that got things mostly working, but when I try to export of view a .lyx file
as a .pdf, I get a dialogue box that says Cannot view file. No information
for viewing PDF (dvipdfm). I have Acrobat reader 7.0 installed in a nearby
folder whose name does not contain any spaces. Also, when I export a .lyx
file as a .ps file, ghostview does not open, and I cannot control where the
.ps file goes. Is this to be expected?

 

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Re: LyXWin not working on XP

I don't really know if this is the problem, but be sure you have the 
directories containing acrobat.exe and gsview32.exe in the PATH. Then 
check that in Edit-Preferences-File formats, for PDF the viewer is 
acrobat.exe and for postcript is gsview32.exe


Be sure also that you have lyx_path\bin\ and lyx_path\share\lyx\ 
in the PATH before you run reconfigure


Hope it helps

No Meta key, LyX 1.3.5/Qt 3.3.4

[Jim Osborn]

I just installed LyX 1.3.5 as part of an upgrade of KDE; the LyX was
actually listed in the KDE installer tool, Konstruct, which downloads
various bits of source and configs and compiles them. 

I had been using LyX 1.3.2 with Qt 2.x successfully, and so far the
new LyX seems to work, except for the lack of any Meta capability.
My Xmodmap has the Alt key mapped to Meta_L, and that has not
changed. xkeycaps shows the appropriate keycodes for all the keys.
LyX is the only app I use that knows about Meta, so I don't have
anything to compare against, except the fact that LyX 1.3.2 worked.

My most basic testing has been to try to throw the focus to the minibuffer
with M-x, on the theory that that test should bypass any bind file
peculiarities, changes in syntax there between LyX versions, etc.
My bind file contains:
   \bind M-x command-execute
which seems about as simple as it gets.

Nothing works; I don't get an Unknown function complaint, I just
get an x in the text of my document, as though the Meta key wasn't there.
But according to xmodmap it is, indeed, there:
$: xmodmap -v -pm
!
! executing work queue
!
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift   Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lockCaps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25)
mod1Meta_L (0x40),  Alt_L (0x7d),  Meta_L (0x9c)

I've tried ESC as well as the Alt key, with the same result. 

I have LYX_DIR_13x and LYX_USERDIR_13x set correctly.

The KDE build tool takes the LyX source from
  ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/

Is there a known issue with this version of LyX and/or Qt?

Is there something else I need to configure?  Can someone suggest any
debug strategy?

TIA,

Jim

Space around figures

Hi

I am using floatfigure to place figures in my document.  I wondered whether 
there was a way of specifying the space around the figue+caption (ie the whole

linewidth above and below but for some of my figures that have graphics right 
up to the bounding box this doesn't produce results pleasing to the eye.

Any ideas?

folder whose name does not contain any spaces. Also, when I export a .lyx
file as a .ps file, ghostview does not open, and I cannot control where the
.ps file goes. Is this to be expected?

 

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

No Meta key, LyX 1.3.5/Qt 3.3.4

[Jim Osborn]

I just installed LyX 1.3.5 as part of an upgrade of KDE; the LyX was
actually listed in the KDE installer tool, Konstruct, which downloads
various bits of source and configs and compiles them. 

I had been using LyX 1.3.2 with Qt 2.x successfully, and so far the
new LyX seems to work, except for the lack of any Meta capability.
My Xmodmap has the Alt key mapped to Meta_L, and that has not
changed. xkeycaps shows the appropriate keycodes for all the keys.
LyX is the only app I use that knows about Meta, so I don't have
anything to compare against, except the fact that LyX 1.3.2 worked.

My most basic testing has been to try to throw the focus to the minibuffer
with M-x, on the theory that that test should bypass any bind file
peculiarities, changes in syntax there between LyX versions, etc.
My bind file contains:
   \bind M-x command-execute
which seems about as simple as it gets.

Nothing works; I don't get an Unknown function complaint, I just
get an x in the text of my document, as though the Meta key wasn't there.
But according to xmodmap it is, indeed, there:
$: xmodmap -v -pm
!
! executing work queue
!
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift   Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lockCaps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25)
mod1Meta_L (0x40),  Alt_L (0x7d),  Meta_L (0x9c)

I've tried ESC as well as the Alt key, with the same result. 

I have LYX_DIR_13x and LYX_USERDIR_13x set correctly.

The KDE build tool takes the LyX source from
  ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/

Is there a known issue with this version of LyX and/or Qt?

Is there something else I need to configure?  Can someone suggest any
debug strategy?

TIA,

Jim

Exactly like it is described in the AMS documentation. The output on 
screen might be wrong IIRC, but LaTeX output is fine. Remember that a 
column in LyX is an '&' sign in LaTeX, so if the documentation suggests 
something like

a&=b&+c

you have to create three columns in LyX:

a   =b  +c

Space around figures

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

Hi

I am using floatfigure to place figures in my document.  I wondered whether 
there was a way of specifying the space around the figue+caption (ie the whole 
float) where it is inserted in the document. At present it seems to be a 
linewidth above and below but for some of my figures that have graphics right 
up to the bounding box this doesn't produce results pleasing to the eye.

Any ideas?
 

Re: The AMS align environment

[Srinivas Nedunuri]

Georg.
Here's what I would like:

f(x)= 1+2+3
g(x,y) = 4+5

Here's what Lyx's version of the AMS align gives me if I use *3* columns (in
the dvi previewer so i'm pretty sure its what would get printed):

   f(x) = 1+2+3
g(x,y) = 4+5

I can get it to not right justify the stuff after the = sign by using *2*
columns and perhaps that is why the default align does only bring up two
columns. However, the left hand side is still right justified.

I can get exactly what I want using eqnarray, but I read somewhere that
align is prefered to eqnarray. Unf. from what I can tell, Lyx's
implementation of AMS align is doing something odd.

cheers

LyXWin not working on XP

[David Boutillier]

I am having difficulty getting LyXWin working properly. 

 

1) I have followed the detailed notes for installing LyXWin on XP from the
LyX/WindowsSetup page of the LyX wiki-wiki. 

 

2) I have opened LyX from a command window with the command lyx -dbg 3. In
the command prompt window. Among the things produced on the screen are: 

Path of binary: C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/bin/

Checking whether LyX is run in place. no

System directory search path: C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/Resources/lyx/;
C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/share/lyx/;usr/local/share/lyx

System directory: 'C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/share/lyx/'

User Lyx directory: 'C:/Documents and Settings/db/.lyx/' .

 

3) When I reconfigure I get a lot of stuff in the command window. Some of it
is as follows:

C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\share\lyx\..\..\bin;
C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\bin;c:\latex\imagemagick-6.2.3-q16;C:\LaTeX\texmf\miktex\bi
n;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\Sustem32\Wbem

Usage: C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\bin\sed.exe [OPTION] . 

.

configure: error: cannot find chkconfig.ltx script.

 

What does this error mean? How can I fix it? Also, I have the folders
c:\latex\gs, and c:\latex\ghostgm that are not mentioned in the search path.
I tried changing my PATH to include every folder with an .exe file that has
anything to do with LyX, but that hasn't seemed to make any difference. 

 

4) I have upgraded to a more recent version of sed. When I enter sed
-version into the command window, I get:

GNU sed version 4.1.4

 

5) I deleted the .lyx folder from c:\documents and settings\, and
that got things mostly working, but when I try to export of view a .lyx file
as a .pdf, I get a dialogue box that says "Cannot view file. No information
for viewing PDF (dvipdfm)". I have Acrobat reader 7.0 installed in a nearby
folder whose name does not contain any spaces. Also, when I export a .lyx
file as a .ps file, ghostview does not open, and I cannot control where the
.ps file goes. Is this to be expected?

 

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

RE: LyXWin not working on XP

Sorry for such a brief response to a detailed question, but have you tried
to view as DVI? (I believe it's ctrl-d) Also, does it correctly export to
pdf?

Re: LyXWin not working on XP

[Nicolás]

I don't really know if this is the problem, but be sure you have the 
directories containing acrobat.exe and gsview32.exe in the PATH. Then 
check that in Edit->Preferences->File formats, for PDF the viewer is 
"acrobat.exe" and for postcript is "gsview32.exe"


Be sure also that you have "\bin\" and "\share\lyx\" 
in the PATH before you run "reconfigure"


Hope it helps
