lyx problems

2007-09-13 Thread NinaNutz
hi all,
I'm using lyx 1.4.4 for Windows, I've tried to install the lyx 1.5 and it
doesn't work, because when I try to open it, it doesn't.

I have a problem with my archive, I'm using the report type file, but I cannot
export to a pdf... I had this problem before but I solved changing the way to
introduce the formula (If I did it with the keyboard it didn't worked it), but
now, I don't know where is the problem.

My text is really extensive, I'm using the JabRef and I have a lot of figures. I
don't know where the problem can be. ¿Any idea?

Lyx work ok with shorter examples, but not with muy file ¿What can I do?

Thank you in advance... For me it's really important to finish...

Adding longtables to List of Tables

2007-09-13 Thread christiaan pauw

Hi All

I have a 100 page document with a lot of table floats in it. Thus have a 
List of Tables in the Table of Content. Everything works fine except  
for 4 longtables that I have. I could not place these tables in a float 
because they cover several pages. I have searched this list and found 
some advice on how to add tables to a List of Tables. I added the 
following ERT


\addcontentsline{lot}{lot}{\hspace{0.6cm}\thetable\hspace{0.7cm} TABLE 
NAME \hfill}


The first table look OK in the List of Tables
The second and all subsequent ones have the table number too far left
The fourth table has the page number too far left

It looks something like this:
  1. TABLE 1  
   i
2. TABLE 2   
 ii
3. TABLE 3 
   iii

4. TABLE 4  1
(too much space here)
  5. TABLE 5
 5
  6. TABLE 6
 6

...etc

Table 5 is the first float. From there on everything is OK

Adjusting the values of the \hspace in the inserted ERT seems to have no 
effect.


This is the only mistake is an otherwise beautiful document. Does 
anybody know how to fix this.


regards
Christiaan

ps2pdf, ERT, and includegraphics

2007-09-13 Thread Giuseppe Pagnoni
Dear all,

I am using lyx with powerdot for a presentation.  I am trying to insert
a figure within an ERT box, to get advantage of the \twocolumn command
of powerdot.

I discovered that lyx does not output figures to pdf when using ps2pdf
(I checked this with a new article document containing a single ERT
command \includegraphics{}). It does output the figure when using
dvipdfm, but the problem is that powerdot requires ps2pdf...

Does anybody know of a workaround?  I am using lyx 1.4.3 on Ubuntu (and
the figure I am inserting is an eps).

thank you very much for any suggestion

What you're describing works for me in LyX 1.4.4 on Windows -- I put 
\includegraphics{...} in ERT, View - PDF (ps2pdf) and the image is 
there, provided that the image is EPS (which you said yours is).


The only caveat is that you will need to add \usepackage{graphicx} to 
the preamble if you are not inserting any other images using Insert - 
Graphics.  LyX automatically adds the command when it inserts a graphic, 
but it does not poke around your ERT to see if you are inserting one

otherwise I don't think you would get the dvipdfm output.

Two Column Question

2007-09-13 Thread Bruce Pourciau
A colleague of mine has a LaTeX question. In the past (about five  
years ago), he would use \twocolumn[header text], with the title,  
author, and abstract substituted in as the header text, to get the  
title, author, and abstract at the top of the page and written across  
the width of the page before the two columns begin. Now he's been  
trying to do the same thing and it's producing error messages about  
missing braces.


Anyone know what the problem might be? Has there been a change in the  
syntax requirement for \twocolumn?


Thanks for any suggestions,

Ah! So all this preamble mucking wasn't needed? Good to know!

I tried and it still looks fuzzy on Linux. However, on Windows it looks

Excellent, this does exactly what I wanted.

Hi again,

I have solved the problem. I think my computer had very little space at C, and
probably the virtual memory had not enough. I have uninstalled a lot of programs
and I have liberated space. Now it works... last a while, but it works. 

I still continue using the version 1.4.4... :) Maybe someone can find the same
problem and for this reason I post that here.

Thank you Uwe :D

I'll try to uninstall everything completely next time (and to restart the
computer too after the uninstallation).

[Disclaimer: fonts are not my specialty.]

I don't think the display is the culprit; I'm using an LCD (with 
Windows) and fonts look fine.  Of course, if one of the displays has 
inordinately low resolution, that would make everything look fuzzy.


More likely it's either the viewer app you're using under Linux or the 
supply of screen fonts installed with your X machine.  Keep in mind that 
fonts for printing don't always have screen versions, and screen 
versions that exist are not perfect matches (printing is likely at 
300-1200 dpi; screen fonts are around 72 dpi as a rule, aren't they?). 
Seems to me that was one of the selling points when MS introduced 
TrueType fonts -- with proper drivers, they look about the same on a 
screen (with decent resolution) as they do on paper.


So your viewer (or maybe the X terminal) might be saying don't have a 
display version of this font, but this other one is close enough.

Dear Paul,

thank you very much for your comments.  It is quite weird: if I export
my file prova.lyx in latex (pdflatex or plain) and run latex prova.tex,
the dvi file shows the picture correctly, and of course the picture is
kept through the chain of dvips and ps2pdf; if I, however, try to
preview the document in LyX or export it directly to pdf (ps2pdf), the
image does not appear.  Looking at the output in the shell window I see
the message:


dvips: Could not find figure file /home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps;
continuing

which is puzzling given that the file is definitely there:

ls /home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps
/home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps

I noticed the use of the double slash in front of the eps file name, but
that should not be a problem, right?

The document I am testing this on is an article with the command
\usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble, and a single ERT box containing
the command:

\includegraphics[scale=0.2]{beckmann2005}


where the image beckmann2005.eps is contained in the local directory.

useful information.  Thank you very much for your help, I truly

Oops -- answered out-of-band, forgot to check the list first to see if 
the message was posted here.


Short synopsis (for archival purposes):  The test doc works fine for me 
using LyX 1.4.4 on Win XP Home.  I don't see the double slash causing 
problems (it didn't for me).  Best guess (and I freely admit it's 
shooting from the hip) is a permissions problem.  Since running the 
latex - dvips - ps2pdf sequence manually worked, and ls found the image 
file, this would seem to imply that LyX is running dvips under a 
different account than the user's account (and, particularly, one that's 
not allowed to read the EPS file).

Two Column Question

2007-09-13 Thread Bruce Pourciau
A colleague of mine has a LaTeX question. In the past (about five  
years ago), he would use \twocolumn[header text], with the title,  
author, and abstract substituted in as the header text, to get the  
title, author, and abstract at the top of the page and written across  
the width of the page before the two columns begin. Now he's been  
trying to do the same thing and it's producing error messages about  
missing braces.


Anyone know what the problem might be? Has there been a change in the  
syntax requirement for \twocolumn?


Thanks for any suggestions,

Bruce

the dvi file shows the picture correctly, and of course the picture is

which is puzzling given that the file is definitely there:

I noticed the use of the double slash in front of the eps file name, but
that should not be a problem, right?

The document I am testing this on is an article with the command

Is there a way to do this that I am not aware of?

Oops -- answered out-of-band, forgot to check the list first to see if 
the message was posted here.


Short synopsis (for archival purposes):  The test doc works fine for me 
using LyX 1.4.4 on Win XP Home.  I don't see the double slash causing 
problems (it didn't for me).  Best guess (and I freely admit it's 
shooting from the hip) is a permissions problem.  Since running the 
latex - dvips - ps2pdf sequence manually worked, and ls found the image 
file, this would seem to imply that LyX is running dvips under a 
different account than the user's account (and, particularly, one that's 
not allowed to read the EPS file).

My text is really extensive, I'm using the JabRef and I have a lot of figures. I

Then it seems that your LaTeX-system is broken. To solve this

- open an internet connection
- install LyX 1.5 using the Complete version of the LyXWinInstaller

Look at the fonts used.  Make sure they are type 1.  If not, maybe you need

Adding longtables to List of Tables

2007-09-13 Thread christiaan pauw

Hi All

I have a 100 page document with a lot of table floats in it. Thus have a 
List of Tables in the Table of Content. Everything works fine except  
for 4 longtables that I have. I could not place these tables in a float 
because they cover several pages. I have searched this list and found 
some advice on how to add tables to a List of Tables. I added the 
following ERT


\addcontentsline{lot}{lot}{\hspace{0.6cm}\thetable\hspace{0.7cm} TABLE 
NAME \hfill}


The first table look OK in the List of Tables
The second and all subsequent ones have the table number too far left
The fourth table has the page number too far left

It looks something like this:
  1. TABLE 1  
   i
2. TABLE 2   
 ii
3. TABLE 3 
   iii

4. TABLE 4  1
(too much space here)
  5. TABLE 5
 5
  6. TABLE 6
 6

...etc

Table 5 is the first float. From there on everything is OK

Adjusting the values of the \hspace in the inserted ERT seems to have no 
effect.


This is the only mistake is an otherwise beautiful document. Does 
anybody know how to fix this.


regards
Christiaan

ps2pdf, ERT, and includegraphics

2007-09-13 Thread Giuseppe Pagnoni
Dear all,

I am using lyx with powerdot for a presentation.  I am trying to insert
a figure within an ERT box, to get advantage of the \twocolumn command
of powerdot.

I discovered that lyx does not output figures to pdf when using ps2pdf
(I checked this with a new "article" document containing a single ERT
command \includegraphics{}). It does output the figure when using
dvipdfm, but the problem is that powerdot requires ps2pdf...

Does anybody know of a workaround?  I am using lyx 1.4.3 on Ubuntu (and
the figure I am inserting is an eps).

thank you very much for any suggestion

To elaborate a bit on Neal's point, in LyX 1.5.x you can go to Document

fonts to their Latin Modern choices.  That will automatically insert the 
needed \usepackage in the preamble.  Alternatively, you can set them to

In LyX 1.4.x and earlier, you can pick the Adobe T1 fonts from the font

you need to insert \usepackage{lmodern} in the preamble.


I seem to get pretty good results with the Computer Modern fonts, as

What you're describing works for me in LyX 1.4.4 on Windows -- I put 
\includegraphics{...} in ERT, View -> PDF (ps2pdf) and the image is 
there, provided that the image is EPS (which you said yours is).


The only caveat is that you will need to add \usepackage{graphicx} to 
the preamble if you are not inserting any other images using Insert -> 
Graphics.  LyX automatically adds the command when it inserts a graphic, 
but it does not poke around your ERT to see if you are inserting one 
manually.  I assume you either have the command in the preamble or have 
other images inserted normally (or maybe Powerdot loads graphicx?) -- 
otherwise I don't think you would get the dvipdfm output.

dvips: Could not find figure file /home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps;
continuing

which is puzzling given that the file is definitely there:

ls /home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps
/home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps

I noticed the use of the double slash in front of the eps file name, but
that should not be a problem, right?

The document I am testing this on is an "article" with the command
\usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble, and a single ERT box containing
the command:

\includegraphics[scale=0.2]{beckmann2005}


where the image beckmann2005.eps is contained in the local directory.

I am attaching in the following my prova.lyx file, which may contain
useful information.  Thank you very much for your help, I truly
appreciate it but please do not feel obliged to reply if this takes up
too much of your time.

best regards

Mutltiple personal dictionaries with aspell

2007-09-13 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi,

I write half my material in French and the other half in English. I need a
personal dictionary for each language. As it stands now, whenever I change
languages for my documents, I need to go to the preferences and change my
personal dictionary from one language to another, otherwise I get an error
(running aspell).

Is there a way to do this that I am not aware of?

Thanks,

L

Dear Paul,

thank you very much for your comments.  It is quite weird: if I export
my file prova.lyx in latex (pdflatex or plain) and run latex prova.tex,
the dvi file shows the picture correctly, and of course the picture is
kept through the chain of dvips and ps2pdf; if I, however, try to
preview the document in LyX or export it directly to pdf (ps2pdf), the
image does not appear.  Looking at the output in the shell window I see

Oops -- answered out-of-band, forgot to check the list first to see if 
the message was posted here.


Short synopsis (for archival purposes):  The test doc works fine for me 
using LyX 1.4.4 on Win XP Home.  I don't see the double slash causing 
problems (it didn't for me).  Best guess (and I freely admit it's 
shooting from the hip) is a permissions problem.  Since running the 
latex - dvips - ps2pdf sequence manually worked, and ls found the image 
file, this would seem to imply that LyX is running dvips under a 
different account than the user's account (and, particularly, one that's 
not allowed to read the EPS file).

Seeing HEVEA errors

2007-09-13 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi,

Sometimes when I export to HTML, I get an error window that pops up saying
there was an error with the hevea execution, but I see no details.

Is there any way to see the details?
