Re: Overfull vbox on headings-only document

I guess my only option is to intersperse a few chracters here and there, as you suggest. Well, not so much for this time, but for longer term, you could try doing this with enumerations instead of using section headings. You'll need to use the increase/decrease depth stuff to get the structure right. Actually, even for this one, it wouldn't be so hard to change. Highlight everything, then choose Enumerate from the layout combo; then select everything that was under the first heading and choose EditIncrease List Depth. Repeat as necessary. rh

Re: lyx 1.6.0 compilation failure, error: forward declaration
C++ Compiler: g++ (3.3.4) You've a fairly old version of g++. Maybe upgrading gcc might solve the problem ? Vincent Thanks, I installed gcc-4.3.2 locally and ... LyX compiled successfully (even without re-compiling Qt beforehand). If the error was due to the old compiler, I suggest modifying the LyX INSTALL file where it says: First of all, you will also need a recent C++ compiler, where recent means that the compilers are close to C++ standard conforming (gcc 3.x). Keep up the good work, Andreas

Well, the first thing you have to do is figure out how to do what you
want to do in LaTeX. You'll need a command or environment that works
like this, more or less:
\begin{graphbox}[text goes here]
%in here is the graphic you want to display, the way LyX would
format it, e.g.:
\includegraphics{graphics/brown}
\end{graphbox}
and the result should be the output you want.
Once you've got that, turning it into a LyX layout isn't terribly hard.
Have a look at the customization manual, if you haven't already. But
something more or less like this will work:
Style GraphicBox
LatexType environment
LatexName graphbox
OptionalArgs 1
Preamble
%here you'll include the LaTeX definitions you need
EndPreamble
End
You can tweak this endlessly.

Here's how I usually do stuff like that: I put the text in one environment. That environment prints nothing, instead assigning #1 to a variable. By the way, you might need to use a character style instead of an environment for that -- I don't remember, but I think envionrments print the text no matter what, which is not what you want. I put the graphic in a second environment -- a fairly complex one. The second environment makes a big box, then 2 small boxes. Box 1 gets #1, which I believe contains the graphic. Box 2 gets the saved variable, which contains the text. The beauty of doing it that way is that everything you want is visible in LyX, at least somewhat representative of how it will look on paper.

three problems
Congratulations and applause to the developers! I love the new LyX 1.6. I thought 1.5.6 was already awesome and I am still playing with the many many improvements of 1.6. I'm using the mac version with OS X 10.5.5. Three small problems I've had: 1. Exiting from Full Screen; when I get out of full screen the collapse button (not sure what it is called; I mean the little wide one that hides some menus and toolbars) that lives on the upper right of frames/windows in mac OS X disappears. I can't then recover it in any way... maximizing, minimizing, resizing doesn't revive it. This seems like a bug. 2. Another problem is related to the toolbars. If I customize which ones show and their position my choices do not seem to consistently stick across sessions. I'm not sure what I have to do to get some preferred set and position of toolbars saved as a default for new files. It seems like LyX makes some attempts to remember these things, but after a while (after opening and closing sessions or opening different files) it forgets, or reverts to positions used in other files. I can't figure out any consistent pattern yet. Specifically, if I start with no file open. Then remove the View/ Update toolbar. Set the toolbar sizes to small. Then close that frame. Then when I open a new frame it looks just like that. But if I load some previous file it may go back to the old look. Hence, I concluded it is doing things file specifically. But no: if you close the frame and go back to another file that you had tweaked the toolbars differently it will now forget. Or if you start a new file you may get Sorry if I am not describing this very well, but part of it is that it really seems to behave erratically from my point of view, or with an odd rule. Note: I do have the Allow saving/restoring of window layouts and geometry checked in my preferences. I am also using LyX with the tab option enabled. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. 3. I have load open files from last session enabled in my preferences. However, the contrast in the behavior of the following two operations is surely not intended: -start a new session with no files open -open file foo.lyx -close this file using CMD-W or selecting close from File menu -close LyX using CMD-Q -open LyX again: you will NOT have foo.lyx loaded, as expected alternatively... -start a new session with no files open -open file foo.lyx -this time: close this file clicking on the upper left button of the frame (the one with the x mark) -close LyX using CMD-Q -open LyX again: you WILL have foo.lyx loaded Both operations really should give the same result, since in the second case, before you shutdown LyX you can verify that no file is open, e.g. go to View and it reports No Documents Open! so this isn't a matter of an open buffer without a window (as I am used to having in Emacs). Thanks! -Ivan

Re: network paths: windows vs. linux
On Monday 10 November 2008, Eran Kaplinsky wrote:
All my LyX files, images, etc are stored at work on a network folder
mapped on a windows box to X:\. And so my files contain code such as:
\includegraphics{x:/images/bubblegum.jpg}
\includepdf{x:/pdfs/bubble}
My question is how do I work with these files and these paths on my new
linux box?
Thanks and Regards,
Eran,
The solution has three parts:
1. Find out where the network folder mapped to X:\ for windows is for a Linux
client. For example, in my office a disk partition which is accessed through
Samba as Y:\ on Windows is accessed through NFS as /home/public/ under Linux.
2. Find out which included files have the full path in their filename:
$ grep X: *.lyx
Some graphics (and other included files) may be in the same directory as
the .lyx file, in which case you probably do not need to do anything.
3. Change the path in the affected .lyx files using a text editor.
If you still need to access the same files using Windows, a more creative
approach may be needed:
In each directory containing .lyx files, create a symbolic link to the
directory mounted as X:\ in Windows. For example, in my case, I would use
the command:
$ ln -s /home/public Y:
so a file (for example) /home/public/pdf/test.pdf in Linux and Y:\pdf\test.pdf
in Windows could be accessed from the current directory as Y:/pdf/test.pdf
I haven't tried this last method, but it should work.

I am using the Koma-Script article class. Unfortunately I cannot get a correct pdf file from my lyx document. It seems that LaTeX tries to force all subheadings belonging to the same section into a single page. Since some of my sections have very detailed sub- subsub- etc. headings with no standard paragraphs in them, I get the dreaded Overfull \vbox error. In fact the box is so overfull that the pdf ouput (I use pdflatex) is grossly incomplete. I see: You've ONLY got headings, and no actual body to any of the (sub-)sections, except for additional headings. What you're seeing is the effect of LaTeX refusing to separate the body of the section from its heading. I don't know of any easy way around this. You could just add some non-printing spaces as body text in the right places to effect your page breaks. HI Richard, I was afraid of that. I am basically trying to use LyX as an outliner program, and it works great until LaTeX takes charge of the typesetting.

(1) In my mac.bind file for LyX 1.6 I had to make the following change: \bind S-Right forward-select \bind S-Left backward-select change to \bind S-Right char-forward-select \bind S-Left char-backward-select (2) I also had to make the change \bind C-Return break-line to \bind C-Returnnewline-insert My guess is that you have a mac.bind file in your user's directory somewhere.

When I used LyX 1.6 initially I had problems precisely with selecting text using SHIFT with the Left and Right cursor. I then extracted the changes I had made to my mac.bind file and inserted them back into the new bind file (inside the LyX package bundle; right click on LyX application in the finder and select Show Package content) which I copied into the bind subdirectory inside my LyX's Library directory. It was advertised in the new release though, that old bind files may not work properly with the upgrade. This may happen to a lot of people, so i thought it was worth repeating my experience. -Ivan

Re: New layout
Below is the latex code I need to use. I am still not sure how to define
a layout with the correct latex definition so I can pass the text and
the graph to it without manually adding all the boxes (minipages). I'd
like to be able to see the graphics like when I include a graph and edit
the text freely. It is ok if I am limited to one paragraph but being
able to enter multiple paragraphs is desirable.
Thanks.

Well, the first thing you have to do is figure out how to do what you
want to do in LaTeX. You'll need a command or environment that works
like this, more or less:
\begin{graphbox}[text goes here]
%in here is the graphic you want to display, the way LyX would
format it, e.g.:
\includegraphics{graphics/brown}
\end{graphbox}
and the result should be the output you want.
Once you've got that, turning it into a LyX layout isn't terribly
hard. Have a look at the customization manual, if you haven't already.
But something more or less like this will work:
Style GraphicBox
LatexType environment
LatexName graphbox
OptionalArgs 1
Preamble
%here you'll include the LaTeX definitions you need
EndPreamble
End
You can tweak this endlessly.

You'll need to use the increase/decrease depth stuff to get the structure right. Actually, even for this one, it wouldn't be so hard to change.

Here's how I usually do stuff like that: I put the text in one environment. That environment prints nothing, instead assigning #1 to a variable. By the way, you might need to use a character style instead of an environment for that -- I don't remember, but I think envionrments print the text no matter what, which is not what you want. I put the graphic in a second environment -- a fairly complex one. The second environment makes a big box, then 2 small boxes. Box 1 gets #1, which I believe contains the graphic. Box 2 gets the saved variable, which contains the text. The beauty of doing it that way is that everything you want is visible in LyX, at least somewhat representative of how it will look on paper.

three problems
Congratulations and applause to the developers! I love the new LyX 1.6. I thought 1.5.6 was already awesome and I am still playing with the many many improvements of 1.6. I'm using the mac version with OS X 10.5.5. Three small problems I've had: 1. Exiting from Full Screen; when I get out of full screen the collapse button (not sure what it is called; I mean the little wide one that hides some menus and toolbars) that lives on the upper right of frames/windows in mac OS X disappears. I can't then recover it in any way... maximizing, minimizing, resizing doesn't revive it. This seems like a bug. 2. Another problem is related to the toolbars. If I customize which ones show and their position my choices do not seem to consistently stick across sessions. I'm not sure what I have to do to get some preferred set and position of toolbars saved as a default for new files. It seems like LyX makes some attempts to remember these things, but after a while (after opening and closing sessions or opening different files) it forgets, or reverts to positions used in other files. I can't figure out any consistent pattern yet. Specifically, if I start with no file open. Then remove the View/ Update toolbar. Set the toolbar sizes to small. Then close that frame. Then when I open a new frame it looks just like that. But if I load some previous file it may go back to the old look. Hence, I concluded it is doing things file specifically. But no: if you close the frame and go back to another file that you had tweaked the toolbars differently it will now forget. Or if you start a new file you may get Sorry if I am not describing this very well, but part of it is that it really seems to behave erratically from my point of view, or with an odd rule. Note: I do have the Allow saving/restoring of window layouts and geometry checked in my preferences. I am also using LyX with the tab option enabled. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. 3. I have load open files from last session enabled in my preferences. However, the contrast in the behavior of the following two operations is surely not intended: -start a new session with no files open -open file foo.lyx -close this file using CMD-W or selecting close from File menu -close LyX using CMD-Q -open LyX again: you will NOT have foo.lyx loaded, as expected alternatively... -start a new session with no files open -open file foo.lyx -this time: close this file clicking on the upper left button of the frame (the one with the x mark) -close LyX using CMD-Q -open LyX again: you WILL have foo.lyx loaded Both operations really should give the same result, since in the second case, before you shutdown LyX you can verify that no file is open, e.g. go to View and it reports No Documents Open! so this isn't a matter of an open buffer without a window (as I am used to having in Emacs).

The problem with RC5 looked like some sort of Python issue based on output to shell, but I didn't make any serious attempt to track it down, since 1.6.0 came out so quickly. /Paul

German Translation of the About/Credit popup
Hi, first of all i love lyx. Thank you for this piece of heaven of software. But in the german translation under the About/Credit popup there is a section Ruhm und Ehre I would request to change this title. This title was the slogan of the SS during german fascism and i regard it as a bad joke to use it. Sure it was unintentional so please just change it.

Re: network paths: windows vs. linux
On Monday 10 November 2008, Eran Kaplinsky wrote:
All my LyX files, images, etc are stored at work on a network folder
mapped on a windows box to X:\. And so my files contain code such as:
\includegraphics{x:/images/bubblegum.jpg}
\includepdf{x:/pdfs/bubble}
My question is how do I work with these files and these paths on my new
linux box?
Thanks and Regards,
Eran,
The solution has three parts:
1. Find out where the network folder mapped to X:\ for windows is for a Linux
client. For example, in my office a disk partition which is accessed through
Samba as Y:\ on Windows is accessed through NFS as /home/public/ under Linux.
2. Find out which included files have the full path in their filename:
$ grep X: *.lyx
Some graphics (and other included files) may be in the same directory as
the .lyx file, in which case you probably do not need to do anything.
3. Change the path in the affected .lyx files using a text editor.
If you still need to access the same files using Windows, a more creative
approach may be needed:
In each directory containing .lyx files, create a symbolic link to the
directory mounted as X:\ in Windows. For example, in my case, I would use
the command:
$ ln -s /home/public Y:
so a file (for example) /home/public/pdf/test.pdf in Linux and Y:\pdf\test.pdf
in Windows could be accessed from the current directory as Y:/pdf/test.pdf
I haven't tried this last method, but it should work.

Another trick is to additionally insert the PDF as image under a relative path, but put the image inset inside a LyX-Note. This ensures that LyX copies the image to the temporary working directory it creates for compiling the document; however, as the image is inside a note it would not appear in the output.

re: LyX 1.6.0 is released
The Debian package works well! A mild annoyance: files prepared with RC5 (and older, I suppose) can't be opened. The fileformat must be changed for the file to open.

Re: three problems
I do meet the proble 2 in Windows XP SP3 too. I have not yet checked other two problems. Murat 2008/11/12 Ivan Werning [EMAIL PROTECTED] Congratulations and applause to the developers! I love the new LyX 1.6. I thought 1.5.6 was already awesome and I am still playing with the many many improvements of 1.6. I'm using the mac version with OS X 10.5.5. Three small problems I've had: 1. Exiting from Full Screen; when I get out of full screen the collapse button (not sure what it is called; I mean the little wide one that hides some menus and toolbars) that lives on the upper right of frames/windows in mac OS X disappears. I can't then recover it in any way... maximizing, minimizing, resizing doesn't revive it. This seems like a bug. 2. Another problem is related to the toolbars. If I customize which ones show and their position my choices do not seem to consistently stick across sessions. I'm not sure what I have to do to get some preferred set and position of toolbars saved as a default for new files.
Problem with LyX 1.6 on Windows
Hi! I just installed LyX 1.6 on my Windows machine and I am really excited to start using it. The first thing I tried is the context-sensitive menu... and a smile appeared in my face :-) But this post is about some problems detected during the installation and during normal use. Almost at the end of the installation, I got a cannot write to file error message.

I am using the Koma-Script article class. Unfortunately I cannot get a correct pdf file from my lyx document. It seems that LaTeX tries to force all subheadings belonging to the same section into a single page. Since some of my sections have very detailed sub- subsub- etc. headings with no standard paragraphs in them, I get the dreaded Overfull \vbox error. In fact the box is so overfull that the pdf ouput (I use pdflatex) is grossly incomplete. I see: You've ONLY got headings, and no actual body to any of the (sub-)sections, except for additional headings. What you're seeing is the effect of LaTeX refusing to separate the body of the section from its heading. I don't know of any easy way around this. You could just add some non-printing spaces as body text in the right places to effect your page breaks. HI Richard, I was afraid of that. I am basically trying to use LyX as an outliner program, and it works great until LaTeX takes charge of the typesetting. I guess my only option is to intersperse a few chracters here and there, as you suggest.

1.6 Has Issues With Minipage Options ?
Hi I was previously able (in version 1.5.6) to right-click on a minipage (or the little grey flag saying Box (Minipage)) to get a little dialog box containing options for changing minipages. I no longer get this with my locally compiled version of Lyx 1.6.
