Matrix spacing

[Davide Cappetti]

Hello everybody!

When I try to define a matrix I experience problem with the spacing between
rows and columns, as you can see below

Someone could suggest me how to add vertical and horizontal space between
rows and columns?

Thank You very much,

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

This might have been overlooked because of bad timing (saturday).
May I try again?

Slightly off topic, but somebody might know:

I am using JabRef to push my references into a LyX-written book.
Lets say, I have my references in ref.bib and want to search for references in 
the web concerning 
circadian obesity sleep and 2008

So I press F5 (WebSearch and Search Medline) in JabRef
get a Medline Tab 
and insert
circadian obesity sleep 2008
which would give me 48 references

to reduce the number, I include review:
circadian obesity sleep review 2008
which gives me 48 references

In order to select the only reference I am interested in,
namely Laposky  
I remove the rest before and after this reference 

by using cut and paste with the mouse 
(##question1: is there an easier way? did not find any##)

generate a bibtex-key (knob)
and press ok

The reference is now in ref.bib

However, instead of 
Laposky, A. D. and Bass, J. ..
as desired, 

I get
Aaron D Laposky and Joseph Bass ...
without comma and points, and the prenames in front 

##Question 2: is there a way to get it correct at this stage or before?##

I save the entered reference in JabRef by control s
(if not done now I won't see the ref in the lyx file immediately)

and push the citation into the Lyx file (pressing the LyX knob or control l)

The citation is giving troubles when trying to export the LyX file, 
and I have to fix the author line first, which is cumbersome if there are many 
authors and prone to introduce errors

I am sorry for this lengthy mail, but wanted to describe it in a way which is 
easily reproducible.

I would appreciate help, 
and thanks a lot in advance

Interesting point. I wrote the LyX layout file for ACMSigplan because a user requested this. 
ACMSigplan is a LaTeX class for conference submissions of this special SIG while it seems that ACM 
SIG is the class file for general proceeding submissions.


So the general class file is this one:

while the general ACM class file is this one:
http://www.acm.org/publications/latex_style

wile some SIGs have its own class file. This is besides SIGPlan also SIGGraph. I wrote a LyX layout 
file for ACMSIGGRAPH:

http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSiggraph
that will be part of tzhe next release LyX 1.6.2.

I think that you will have to use the general SIG class. I can write a LyX layout file for this. But 
can you please contact the SIG people if it is for now also OK to submit your paper using the 
SIGPlan or SIGGraph calss file that is already supported by LyX and report me what they say?

Installing biblatex-dw-style (Wassenhoven) on OSX

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

I try to use the biblatex-style of Dominik Wassenhoven and don´t get  
it to work with Lyx 1.6.1. I did the following:


The readme says to do the following (I guess this is for windows):
 Extract the zip archive to the $LOCALTEXMF directory of
 your system. Refresh your filename database. In MiKTeX,
 this is done in the 'Settings' dialog, button
 'Refresh FNDB', or from the command line with the command
 'initexmf --refresh-fndb'. For other LaTeX distributions,
 please see its documentation for details.

On my mac I put the file biblatex-dw into my folder:
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex

Is this correct?

Well, after that I entered this into the preamble:
 \usepackage[style=authortitle-dw]{biblatex}

As I try to compile I get loads of error-messages…

I hope you could help.

Re: Strategies for Writing Co-operation with Non-LyX Users?

[Ken]

I have not followed the entire thread on this issue but I did a search through
the discussion and could not find anyone mentioning the issues with Scientific
Word/Workplace.  

I have worked with a co-author that insists on using Scientific Word.  My
experience is that not only is SW/SWP very expensive, I also find it a far
inferior product to LyX.  It is not easy to import documents from SWP and even
harder to export them to SWP even though they are both LaTeX editors.  At the
university, SWP is available as a standard install on machines but not LyX. 

I suppose two suggestions might include (1) seemless imports from SWP (I think
easier to do than exporting to SWP--I found SWP would balloon in memory and CPU
usage when importing my tex documents and needed to be killed and it's
closed-source nature makes it difficult to locate the formatting issues which it
gets hung up on) as this would allow users to change to LyX easily with
documents they have already written and understand and (2) more advertising of
LyX with universities (and perhaps some of their software budget donated to LyX
as users ultimately move away from SWP reducing licensing costs).

Just my two cents.

Re: Installing biblatex-dw-style (Wassenhoven) on OSX

[jezZiFeR]

Hello Anders,

thank you. Yes, I did that, but I still get the same error-messages –  
undefined control sequence:


}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Hello Bennett,

I´ve had biblatex-dw installed in that folder before, and did it again  
now – with the same results. But I tried to get a minimal-sample now,  
and there it seems, that biblatex-dw is not able to find my  
bibliography. I entered this line, which worked fine without biblatex- 
dw:

\bibliography{/Users/me/documents/Bibliographien/BibDesk/Name}

Do I have to enter anything elso to let Lyx find my bibliography?

Actually, on Mac the user's TeX folders are at ~/Library/texmf/tex.
That way when you update your TeX installation, you won't overwrite or
erase any files you've added on your own.


Well, after that I entered this into the preamble:
\usepackage[style=authortitle-dw]{biblatex}

As Anders said, installing in /usr/local/texlive, you would need to
run sudo texhash, and that's probably the cause of your error
messages. (If you put new files in ~/Library/texmf, running texhash is
unnecessary.)

Not quite true. Bibtex is able to parse the first version, the only problem is 
the missing dot after the D initial.

In general, I would second Richard's advice: Abbreviation of names is the job 
of the style file, the bib file should always contain full names.

Jürgen

Re: web searchjabreflyx

[curtis osterhoudt]

Indeed. The way that Jabref imports the reference is to put curly-braces around 
each of the fields, {}, so that BiBTeX isn't allowed to parse them at all. So 
far as I know, whatever reference style is chosen, it will not be any different 
than what Wolfgang got. 

   It looks to me as either a problem with the original reference, or a problem 
in the way JabRef imported this particular one. In either case, you'll have to 
somehow remove those curly braces, to let BiBTeX do its job.

Re: Hebrew and Nikud on Linux (Ubuntu)

[Nigel Pegram]

Hi Guy (and list users),

Iviritex doesn't seem to make a difference. Neither does specifying
fontencoding or fontfamily.

Strangely, I stumbled on an almost complete solution which doesn't seem to
make any sense to me.

Keeping everything else on the default settings, if I add

\errorcontextlines=10

to my preamble and use utf8x encoding in the language settings, the errors
go away and I can output pointed Hebrew.

The only irritant is that the location of the vowels is not very good.

Any comments why errorcontextlines makes a difference?

TIA
Nigel

As I understand the command, it simply instructs latex to output more lines
when an error occurs. I can't figure out how it removes the combine errors.

 What Tex distribution do you use?

 If it's a modern one (e.g. at least Texlive-2007 or teTex 3.) I would
 suggest
 you remove Ivritex and reinstall the Tex distribution (including
 culmus-latex).

 If it's an old Tex distribution, culmus-latex might not be compatible with
 it.

 
  The error is still the same, asking that the combine option be set.
 

 I took a look in the LyX document you provided as an example.
 1. You got to have \usepackage{culmus} in you preamble.
 2. \usepackage{hebfont} isn't required.
 3. The Hebrew fonts in culmus-latex are HE8 encoded. So you have to add
 \fontencoding{HE8} before the Hebrew text
 4. You need to specify a nikud enabled font (such as franknikud) using
 \fontfamily

 In the culmus-latex tarball there is an examples directory with an example
 (hiriq) for using nikud. Try to compile in order to see whether the nikud
 support is functioning correctly on your system. If not I suggest you
 contact
 the Ivritex mailing list.


 I hope I've been of help.

The behaviour you describe sounds very weird, but I'm glad you found a

\errorcontextlines have on nikud.




 The only irritant is that the location of the vowels is not very good.


The nikud placement process uses Postscript 3, so it requires some special

latex - dvips - ps2pdf

References in floats come first?

Hello everyone! This is my first thread - please be gentle lol. I'm using Lyx
to write my thesis and bibtex to manage my bibliography. I've got the style
set to unsrt so everything is referenced according to its' order in the
text. And it is, except the references I have in the Figure or Table
headings, which come first! Example:

I am using a Figure from an article and so need to reference it:

Graphics
Figure 1: Polyester molecular formula [1]

The same happens with tables. I'd much rather have it so the order is
dependant on where the Figure/Table float is in the text, anybody have a
solution or work-around? Sorry if this isn't explained well!

multiple indexes and section numbers

Folks, I use lyx 1.6.1 on a linux (vector linux slackware) OS platform.

1. I would sure like to be able to make multiple indexes in the article

but don't want to use Book.


2. Also, I would love an easy way to turn off the horrible lyx section

simple 1 (1).  If I fool with it enough, it seems to correct itself, but 
its hit and miss every time.

Memoir also has an article option. I use the multiple indexing

Alternatively, there are LaTeX packages that can do multiple indexes.

Do you have a list of figures? If so, then that is the problem: This

Installing biblatex-dw-style (Wassenhoven) on OSX

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

I try to use the biblatex-style of Dominik Wassenhoven and don´t get  
it to work with Lyx 1.6.1. I did the following:


The readme says to do the following (I guess this is for windows):
 Extract the zip archive to the $LOCALTEXMF directory of
 your system. Refresh your filename database. In MiKTeX,
 this is done in the 'Settings' dialog, button
 'Refresh FNDB', or from the command line with the command
 'initexmf --refresh-fndb'. For other LaTeX distributions,
 please see its documentation for details.

On my mac I put the file biblatex-dw into my folder:
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex

Is this correct?

Well, after that I entered this into the preamble:
 \usepackage[style=authortitle-dw]{biblatex}

As I try to compile I get loads of error-messages…

I hope you could help.

Re: Strategies for Writing Co-operation with Non-LyX Users?

[Ken]

I have not followed the entire thread on this issue but I did a search through
the discussion and could not find anyone mentioning the issues with Scientific
Word/Workplace.  

I have worked with a co-author that insists on using Scientific Word.  My
experience is that not only is SW/SWP very expensive, I also find it a far
inferior product to LyX.  It is not easy to import documents from SWP and even
harder to export them to SWP even though they are both LaTeX editors.  At the
university, SWP is available as a standard install on machines but not LyX. 

I suppose two suggestions might include (1) seemless imports from SWP (I think
easier to do than exporting to SWP--I found SWP would balloon in memory and CPU
usage when importing my tex documents and needed to be killed and it's
closed-source nature makes it difficult to locate the formatting issues which it
gets hung up on) as this would allow users to change to LyX easily with
documents they have already written and understand and (2) more advertising of
LyX with universities (and perhaps some of their software budget donated to LyX
as users ultimately move away from SWP reducing licensing costs).

Just my two cents.

Re: Installing biblatex-dw-style (Wassenhoven) on OSX

[jezZiFeR]

Hello Anders,

thank you. Yes, I did that, but I still get the same error-messages –  
undefined control sequence:


}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Hello Bennett,

I´ve had biblatex-dw installed in that folder before, and did it again  
now – with the same results. But I tried to get a minimal-sample now,  
and there it seems, that biblatex-dw is not able to find my  
bibliography. I entered this line, which worked fine without biblatex- 
dw:

\bibliography{/Users/me/documents/Bibliographien/BibDesk/Name}

Do I have to enter anything elso to let Lyx find my bibliography?

Actually, on Mac the user's TeX folders are at ~/Library/texmf/tex.
That way when you update your TeX installation, you won't overwrite or
erase any files you've added on your own.


Well, after that I entered this into the preamble:
\usepackage[style=authortitle-dw]{biblatex}

As Anders said, installing in /usr/local/texlive, you would need to
run sudo texhash, and that's probably the cause of your error
messages. (If you put new files in ~/Library/texmf, running texhash is
unnecessary.)

Not quite true. Bibtex is able to parse the first version, the only problem is 
the missing dot after the D initial.

In general, I would second Richard's advice: Abbreviation of names is the job 
of the style file, the bib file should always contain full names.

Jürgen

Re: web searchjabreflyx

[curtis osterhoudt]

Indeed. The way that Jabref imports the reference is to put curly-braces around 
each of the fields, {}, so that BiBTeX isn't allowed to parse them at all. So 
far as I know, whatever reference style is chosen, it will not be any different 
than what Wolfgang got. 

   It looks to me as either a problem with the original reference, or a problem 
in the way JabRef imported this particular one. In either case, you'll have to 
somehow remove those curly braces, to let BiBTeX do its job.

Re: Hebrew and Nikud on Linux (Ubuntu)

[Nigel Pegram]

Hi Guy (and list users),

Iviritex doesn't seem to make a difference. Neither does specifying
fontencoding or fontfamily.

Strangely, I stumbled on an almost complete solution which doesn't seem to
make any sense to me.

Keeping everything else on the default settings, if I add

\errorcontextlines=10

to my preamble and use utf8x encoding in the language settings, the errors
go away and I can output pointed Hebrew.

The only irritant is that the location of the vowels is not very good.

Any comments why errorcontextlines makes a difference?

TIA
Nigel

As I understand the command, it simply instructs latex to output more lines
when an error occurs. I can't figure out how it removes the combine errors.

 If it's an old Tex distribution, culmus-latex might not be compatible with

 I took a look in the LyX document you provided as an example.
 1. You got to have \usepackage{culmus} in you preamble.

 3. The Hebrew fonts in culmus-latex are HE8 encoded. So you have to add
 \fontencoding{HE8} before the Hebrew text
 4. You need to specify a nikud enabled font (such as franknikud) using
 \fontfamily

 In the culmus-latex tarball there is an examples directory with an example

The behaviour you describe sounds very weird, but I'm glad you found a

\errorcontextlines have on nikud.




 The only irritant is that the location of the vowels is not very good.


The nikud placement process uses Postscript 3, so it requires some special

latex - dvips - ps2pdf

References in floats come first?

Hello everyone! This is my first thread - please be gentle lol. I'm using Lyx
to write my thesis and bibtex to manage my bibliography. I've got the style
set to unsrt so everything is referenced according to its' order in the
text. And it is, except the references I have in the Figure or Table
headings, which come first! Example:

I am using a Figure from an article and so need to reference it:

Graphics
Figure 1: Polyester molecular formula [1]

The same happens with tables. I'd much rather have it so the order is
dependant on where the Figure/Table float is in the text, anybody have a
solution or work-around? Sorry if this isn't explained well!

multiple indexes and section numbers

Folks, I use lyx 1.6.1 on a linux (vector linux slackware) OS platform.

1. I would sure like to be able to make multiple indexes in the article 
class.  I see an article in wikipedia about doing such in memoir class 
but don't want to use Book.


2. Also, I would love an easy way to turn off the horrible lyx section

simple 1 (1).  If I fool with it enough, it seems to correct itself, but 
its hit and miss every time.

Installing biblatex-dw-style (Wassenhoven) on OSX

Hello,

I try to use the biblatex-style of Dominik Wassenhoven and don´t get

The readme says to do the following (I guess this is for windows):
 Extract the zip archive to the $LOCALTEXMF directory of

 this is done in the 'Settings' dialog, button

 'initexmf --refresh-fndb'. For other LaTeX distributions,
 please see its documentation for details.

On my mac I put the file "biblatex-dw" into my folder:

Well, after that I entered this into the preamble:

I have not followed the entire thread on this issue but I did a search through

usage when importing my tex documents and needed to be killed and it's
closed-source nature makes it difficult to locate the formatting issues which it
gets hung up on) as this would allow users to change to LyX easily with
documents they have already written and understand and (2) more advertising of
LyX with universities (and perhaps some of their software budget donated to LyX
as users ultimately move away from SWP reducing licensing costs).

Just my two cents.

Re: Installing biblatex-dw-style (Wassenhoven) on OSX

[jezZiFeR]

Hello Bennett,

I´ve had biblatex-dw installed in that folder before, and did it again  
now – with the same results. But I tried to get a minimal-sample now,  
and there it seems, that biblatex-dw is not able to find my  
bibliography. I entered this line, which worked fine without biblatex- 
dw:

\bibliography{/Users/me/documents/Bibliographien/BibDesk/Name}

Do I have to enter anything elso to let Lyx find my bibliography?

Thank you
Jess*

Actually, on Mac the user's TeX folders are at ~/Library/texmf/tex.
That way when you update your TeX installation, you won't overwrite or
erase any files you've added on your own.


Well, after that I entered this into the preamble:
\usepackage[style=authortitle-dw]{biblatex}

As I try to compile I get loads of error-messages…


As Anders said, installing in /usr/local/texlive, you would need to
run "sudo texhash", and that's probably the cause of your error
messages. (If you put new files in ~/Library/texmf, running texhash is
unnecessary.)

I get
Aaron D Laposky and Joseph Bass ...
without comma and points, and the prenames in front

but BibTeX needs 
Laposky, A. D. and Bass, J. ..

Not quite true. Bibtex is able to parse the first version, the only problem is 
the missing dot after the "D" initial.

In general, I would second Richard's advice: Abbreviation of names is the job 
of the style file, the bib file should always contain full names.

Re: web search>jabref>lyx

[curtis osterhoudt]

Indeed. The way that Jabref imports the reference is to put curly-braces around 
each of the fields, {}, so that BiBTeX isn't allowed to parse them at all. So 
far as I know, whatever reference style is chosen, it will not be any different 
than what Wolfgang got. 

   It looks to me as either a problem with the original reference, or a problem 
in the way JabRef imported this particular one. In either case, you'll have to 
somehow remove those curly braces, to let BiBTeX do its job.

Re: Hebrew and Nikud on Linux (Ubuntu)

[Nigel Pegram]

Hi Guy (and list users),

Iviritex doesn't seem to make a difference. Neither does specifying
fontencoding or fontfamily.

Strangely, I stumbled on an almost complete solution which doesn't seem to
make any sense to me.

Keeping everything else on the default settings, if I add

\errorcontextlines=10

to my preamble and use utf8x encoding in the language settings, the errors
go away and I can output pointed Hebrew.

The only irritant is that the location of the vowels is not very good.

Any comments why errorcontextlines makes a difference?

TIA
Nigel

As I understand the command, it simply instructs latex to output more lines
when an error occurs. I can't figure out how it removes the combine errors.

The behaviour you describe sounds very weird, but I'm glad you found a
solution. It would be really interesting to find out what effect does
\errorcontextlines have on nikud.

The nikud placement process uses Postscript 3, so it requires some special
care when generating the document. IIRC the process it run

latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf

I must admit that I too have problem getting the nikud correctly. The best
person to consult this issue with is Yotam Medini from the Ivritex mailing
list (he also contributed the Nikud support to culmus-latex).

Re: Strategies for Writing Co-operation with Non-LyX Users?

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

I have worked with a co-author that insists on using Scientific  
Word.  My
experience is that not only is SW/SWP very expensive, I also find  
it a far
inferior product to LyX.  It is not easy to import documents from  
SWP and even
harder to export them to SWP even though they are both LaTeX  
editors.  At the
university, SWP is available as a standard install on machines but  
not LyX.


Is it still true that swp is able to export 'portable latex' or  
whatever, that

is easier to import? How does LyX fare with that?

References in floats come first?

[rettie]

Hello everyone! This is my first thread - please be gentle lol. I'm using Lyx
to write my thesis and bibtex to manage my bibliography. I've got the style
set to "unsrt" so everything is referenced according to its' order in the
text. And it is, except the references I have in the Figure or Table
headings, which come first! Example:

I am using a Figure from an article and so need to reference it:


Figure 1: Polyester molecular formula [1]

The same happens with tables. I'd much rather have it so the order is
dependant on where the Figure/Table float is in the text, anybody have a
solution or work-around? Sorry if this isn't explained well!

Cheers,

Alex

multiple indexes and section numbers

[John White]

Folks, I use lyx 1.6.1 on a linux (vector linux slackware) OS platform.

1. I would sure like to be able to make multiple indexes in the article 
class.  I see an article in wikipedia about doing such in memoir class 
but don't want to use Book.


2. Also, I would love an easy way to turn off the horrible lyx section 
numbering machine (0.1) in article class and have it start instead at 
simple 1 (1).  If I fool with it enough, it seems to correct itself, but 
its hit and miss every time.


Thx

Memoir also has an "article" option. I use the multiple indexing
capabilities of Memoir a lot.

Alternatively, there are LaTeX packages that can do multiple indexes.
Try "multind" or "index". I used "index" before switching to Memoir and
it worked well.

See the TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=multind

Do you have a list of figures? If so, then that is the problem: This 
reference DOES come first, in the list of figures. If you have a list of 
tables, then the same problem will affect it.


I think there's a workaround, but I don't know what it is. Someone else 
will.

Long table messes up table numbering

Anyone having this problem? It seems to be that having a long table makes the
next table numbering skip. I.e.

Table 1 (long table)

then the next table number would be
