Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

Phillippe.

I have already replied directly to you on this (in error) but to keep 
the help within the list  I have repeated my answers here and added  
some information:


If I convert the SWeave Scrap environment to Lyx Code,  it  compiles (as 
a bit of text) to PDF as expected, no strange escape codes.


=
library (car)
cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001=2001;X2002=2002;X2003=2003;X2004=2004;etc
@

So it seems to be definitely connected with the Sweave part of the process

The rest of my reply is below

Philippe Grosjean wrote:

1) Have you placed your code in an ERT (Tex code)?
No,  I have now got a twelve chunks of Sweave code in the document 
(which all work) and none are in ERT


2) Did you enclose it with the required tags for noweb (INSIDE de 
ERT), i.e.,


=
library (car)
cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001=2001;X2002=2002;X2003=2003; 


etc
@
Yes,  the full code copied from Lyx is (its in the Scrap environment and 
I have added the +'s to make it fit the email):


=library(car)
cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001=2001;X2002=2002;X2003=2003;X2004=2004; 

+X2005=2005;X2006=2006;X2007=2007;X2008=2008;X2009=2009;X2010=2010; 


+X2011=2011;X2012=2012')
@


3) Did you run Sweave on the Noweb version produced?
Not manually in any way, I have just compiled to PDF from Lyx as I have 
been doing successfully with all the other SWeave chunks, up until this 
one.


But I haven't called an R package before, or used the recode function.  
Which are functioning in R OK, as I try the code in R first before 
copying into Lyx.


Strangely of course, it is compiling OK and giving me a PDF. With the 
other chunks of code, if I made a mistake, it refused to compile and I 
got an Rcmd error.


Not sure if that gives any more of a clue.

I wonder if its worth mentioning I am using a Mac, as it seems to be 
character code issue and maybe its something peculiar to the Mac.

You can always try to change the encoding, e.g. using TextWrangler and  
see if that changes anything.

I'm sorry to say I don't how to do this. Do you mean my little bit of 
code giving me problems or do you mean the entire Lyx file.


If its the former do I change the encoding and paste it back into Lyx. 
I'm afraid I am  over my threshold of understanding here.


However, if I type the commands into an Emacs buffer I get some strange 
syntax handling


cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001=2001;X2002=2002; etc

With  the X2001=2001  the   and the numbers are pink (including the 
X) and the = is black the ; is also pink and the ' is black


but in the

X2002=2002 this is reversed the  and the ; are still pink but so is 
the = sign. The X2002 and 2002 are now black, which is the pattern that 
persists for the rest of the code.

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

I have now tried reversing the single quotes and double quotes as here:

cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001'='2001';'X2002'='2002';'X2003'='2003'; 
etc


This is now compiling verbatim (so no spurious slashes) when it appears 
in the PDF , but it is running off the edge of the page and not actually 
running in R.


My next command

=
head(cabbages, n=10)
@


is showing no recoding has taken place.

Help Needed in LYX

[esrone noel]

Good day,
I have been using lyx 1.5 version to type up my journals for the past few 
months. However I have asked someone to assist me in typing and I told them to 
download lyx from the internet. Unknowing to me, that there were different 
versions available on the internet, the person downloaded  
LyX-1.6.3-1-Installer.exe
When they were finished downloading and typing up the document I gave them they 
sent it to me. I was unable to open the document using lyx 1.5.  
What I need help with is the following:
Can I do something to make the newer version of lyx to work with lyx 1.5. Right 
now when I try opening the file it is saying ''cannot convert etc etc''

Regards,
Esrone.

Elyxer and Lyx 1.6.3

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,
I am trying elyxer under the last version of Lyx (1.6.3) . I have followed
the instructions in the list given by Olivier:


I managed to get elyxer working by doing the following:

- copy elyxer.py to the script folder (C:\Program Files\LyX
1.6.3\Resources\scripts)
on my machine,- in Preferences - Converters, in the LyX - HTML, modify the
command to be:


python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py $$i $$o


I have installed the last version (0.29) of the elyxer.py script in the
folder indicated by Olivier and changed Lyx-HTML conversion command as
indicated.
I have done a reconfigure, just incase.

But, when I do View/HTML or Export/HTML Lyx continues to try to run htlatex.
I am probably missing something but I do not know what :-(

Sorry if I am making a stupid mistake but I would appreciate a lot your help
at this point, since I am just blocked...

Regards,

Murat

Hi,

IIRC, 1.5.7 can open LyX 1.6 fileformat. If you do not want to upgrade 
to 1.6, perhaps you should at least upgrade to 1.5.7.

how to skip to next page

Problems with LyX 1.6.3

[Reuven Segev]

Hi,
I downloaded and installed version 1.6.3 (classic rather the alternative
installer) on WinXP64 system (over my previous 1.6.2 version). When I opened
documents, it would not compile them. It generated an empty tex file and issued
an error message about exporting buffer (don't have the exact wording). I tried
to reinstall. Same result. Reinstalled 1.6.2 and it works fine/

Did anybody have a similar experience? Ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks,

Installing one version over another is in general problematic on Windows (not only for LyX). But 
when you uninstall LyX 1.6.2 and then install 1.6.3 it should work.

Thanks again.

I have now been sent some trial code that works with Lyx/SWeave/R on

The strange syntax thing seems to have gone away now, so not sure what

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

With help from Anders and Jay, part of this problem seems to be solved.

Some sample code from Jay, refused to run until the document settings 
were changed to use utf8 encoding.


This worked for the sample code, but didn't help with my code.

However, I notice that with my code in the latex code window, the code 
is highlighted between the $ signs at the start of the code


cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'.

I wonder if this suggests that the $ sign is being interpreted in some 
odd way.

LyX crashes upon referencing images

[Jason Lillywhite]

I am running LyX in Ubuntu 9.04 and I'm working on a document that
contains many figures and tables. LyX has crashed multiple times when
working with these figures I'm inserting.

I'm inserting figures by doing a float, then insert graphic. I found
that when I try to adjust the output size and/or LyX display size at
the time of first importing the image, it tends to crash the program.
I do not have a problem if I insert the graphic, close the dialogue
box, then edit the image settings after. I'm inserting bmp images. I'm
using an article Document Class.

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

Well this is a bit embarrassing , it seems I had two problems, one
was that the recode command seems to need utf8 coding rather than the
Lyx default (which is fine), plus I had typing error in the data set,
which is not fine :-(

I rewrote my code using the with command which allowed it to run, but
it then became obvious that the recoded results were not what I had
expected. The typing error then being obvious.

The first entry in my code was 'X2001'='2001' but the first level in
the data set was X20001 and this was enough to cause recode to fail
in my original code, but run using the with command.

Its now working. BUT the code still runs off the edge of the page and 
doesn't wrap with a continuation symbol. Anyone have any suggestions for 
fixing this one?


Thanks to everyone for there help.

The rest of my reply is below

1) Have you placed your code in an ERT (Tex code)?
No,  I have now got a twelve chunks of Sweave code in the document 
(which all work) and none are in ERT


2) Did you enclose it with the required tags for noweb (INSIDE de 
ERT), i.e.,


=

cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001=2001;X2002=2002;X2003=2003; 


etc

Yes,  the full code copied from Lyx is (its in the Scrap environment and 
I have added the +'s to make it fit the email):


=library(car)
cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001=2001;X2002=2002;X2003=2003;X2004=2004; 

+X2005=2005;X2006=2006;X2007=2007;X2008=2008;X2009=2009;X2010=2010; 


+X2011=2011;X2012=2012')
@


3) Did you run Sweave on the Noweb version produced?
Not manually in any way, I have just compiled to PDF from Lyx as I have 
been doing successfully with all the other SWeave chunks, up until this 
one.


But I haven't called an R package before, or used the recode function.  
Which are functioning in R OK, as I try the code in R first before 
copying into Lyx.


Strangely of course, it is compiling OK and giving me a PDF. With the 
other chunks of code, if I made a mistake, it refused to compile and I 
got an Rcmd error.


Not sure if that gives any more of a clue.

I wonder if its worth mentioning I am using a Mac, as it seems to be

You can always try to change the encoding, e.g. using TextWrangler and  
see if that changes anything.

I'm sorry to say I don't how to do this. Do you mean my little bit of 
code giving me problems or do you mean the entire Lyx file.


If its the former do I change the encoding and paste it back into Lyx. 
I'm afraid I am  over my threshold of understanding here.


However, if I type the commands into an Emacs buffer I get some strange 
syntax handling


cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001=2001;X2002=2002; etc

With  the X2001=2001  the   and the numbers are pink (including the 
X) and the = is black the ; is also pink and the ' is black


but in the

X2002=2002 this is reversed the  and the ; are still pink but so is 
the = sign. The X2002 and 2002 are now black, which is the pattern that 
persists for the rest of the code.

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

I have now tried reversing the single quotes and double quotes as here:

cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'X2001'='2001';'X2002'='2002';'X2003'='2003'; 
etc


This is now compiling verbatim (so no spurious slashes) when it appears 
in the PDF , but it is running off the edge of the page and not actually 
running in R.


My next command

=
head(cabbages, n=10)
@


is showing no recoding has taken place.

Help Needed in LYX

[esrone noel]

Good day,
I have been using lyx 1.5 version to type up my journals for the past few 
months. However I have asked someone to assist me in typing and I told them to 
download lyx from the internet. Unknowing to me, that there were different 
versions available on the internet, the person downloaded  
LyX-1.6.3-1-Installer.exe
When they were finished downloading and typing up the document I gave them they 
sent it to me. I was unable to open the document using lyx 1.5.  
What I need help with is the following:
Can I do something to make the newer version of lyx to work with lyx 1.5. Right 
now when I try opening the file it is saying ''cannot convert etc etc''

Regards,
Esrone.

Elyxer and Lyx 1.6.3

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,
I am trying elyxer under the last version of Lyx (1.6.3) . I have followed
the instructions in the list given by Olivier:


I managed to get elyxer working by doing the following:

- copy elyxer.py to the script folder (C:\Program Files\LyX
1.6.3\Resources\scripts)
on my machine,- in Preferences - Converters, in the LyX - HTML, modify the
command to be:


python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py $$i $$o


I have installed the last version (0.29) of the elyxer.py script in the
folder indicated by Olivier and changed Lyx-HTML conversion command as
indicated.
I have done a reconfigure, just incase.

But, when I do View/HTML or Export/HTML Lyx continues to try to run htlatex.
I am probably missing something but I do not know what :-(

Sorry if I am making a stupid mistake but I would appreciate a lot your help
at this point, since I am just blocked...

Regards,

Murat

Hi,

IIRC, 1.5.7 can open LyX 1.6 fileformat. If you do not want to upgrade 
to 1.6, perhaps you should at least upgrade to 1.5.7.

Problems with LyX 1.6.3

[Reuven Segev]

Hi,
I downloaded and installed version 1.6.3 (classic rather the alternative
installer) on WinXP64 system (over my previous 1.6.2 version). When I opened
documents, it would not compile them. It generated an empty tex file and issued
an error message about exporting buffer (don't have the exact wording). I tried
to reinstall. Same result. Reinstalled 1.6.2 and it works fine/

Did anybody have a similar experience? Ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks,

Installing one version over another is in general problematic on Windows (not only for LyX). But 
when you uninstall LyX 1.6.2 and then install 1.6.3 it should work.

Thanks again.

I have now been sent some trial code that works with Lyx/SWeave/R on

The strange syntax thing seems to have gone away now, so not sure what

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

With help from Anders and Jay, part of this problem seems to be solved.

Some sample code from Jay, refused to run until the document settings 
were changed to use utf8 encoding.


This worked for the sample code, but didn't help with my code.

However, I notice that with my code in the latex code window, the code 
is highlighted between the $ signs at the start of the code


cabbages$Year-recode(cabbages$Year,'.

I wonder if this suggests that the $ sign is being interpreted in some 
odd way.

LyX crashes upon referencing images

[Jason Lillywhite]

I am running LyX in Ubuntu 9.04 and I'm working on a document that
contains many figures and tables. LyX has crashed multiple times when
working with these figures I'm inserting.

I'm inserting figures by doing a float, then insert graphic. I found
that when I try to adjust the output size and/or LyX display size at
the time of first importing the image, it tends to crash the program.
I do not have a problem if I insert the graphic, close the dialogue
box, then edit the image settings after. I'm inserting bmp images. I'm
using an article Document Class.

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

Well this is a bit embarrassing , it seems I had two problems, one
was that the recode command seems to need utf8 coding rather than the
Lyx default (which is fine), plus I had typing error in the data set,
which is not fine :-(

I rewrote my code using the with command which allowed it to run, but
it then became obvious that the recoded results were not what I had
expected. The typing error then being obvious.

The first entry in my code was 'X2001'='2001' but the first level in
the data set was X20001 and this was enough to cause recode to fail
in my original code, but run using the with command.

Its now working. BUT the code still runs off the edge of the page and 
doesn't wrap with a continuation symbol. Anyone have any suggestions for 
fixing this one?


Thanks to everyone for there help.

Phillippe.

I have already replied directly to you on this (in error) but to keep 
the help within the list  I have repeated my answers here and added  
some information:


If I convert the SWeave Scrap environment to Lyx Code,  it  compiles (as 
a bit of text) to PDF as expected, no strange escape codes.


<<>>=
library (car)
cabbages$Year<-recode(cabbages$Year,'"X2001"="2001";"X2002"="2002";"X2003"="2003";"X2004"="2004";etc

Yes,  the full code copied from Lyx is (its in the Scrap environment and

3) Did you run Sweave on the Noweb version produced?
Not manually in any way, I have just compiled to PDF from Lyx as I have 
been doing successfully with all the other SWeave chunks, up until this 
one.


But I haven't called an R package before, or used the recode function.  
Which are functioning in R OK, as I try the code in R first before 
copying into Lyx.


Strangely of course, it is compiling OK and giving me a PDF. With the 
other chunks of code, if I made a mistake, it refused to compile and I 
got an Rcmd error.


Not sure if that gives any more of a clue.

You can always try to change the encoding, e.g. using TextWrangler and  
see if that changes anything.

I'm sorry to say I don't how to do this. Do you mean my little bit of 
code giving me problems or do you mean the entire Lyx file.


If its the former do I change the encoding and paste it back into Lyx. 
I'm afraid I am  over my threshold of understanding here.


However, if I type the commands into an Emacs buffer I get some strange 
syntax handling


cabbages$Year<-recode(cabbages$Year,'"X2001"="2001;"X2002"="2002"; etc

With  the "X2001"="2001"  the  " and the numbers are pink (including the

but in the

"X2002"="2002" this is reversed the " and the ; are still pink but so is 
the = sign. The X2002 and 2002 are now black, which is the pattern that 
persists for the rest of the code.

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

I have now tried reversing the single quotes and double quotes as here:

cabbages$Year<-recode(cabbages$Year,"'X2001'='2001';'X2002'='2002';'X2003'='2003'; 
etc


This is now compiling verbatim (so no spurious slashes) when it appears 
in the PDF , but it is running off the edge of the page and not actually 
running in R.


My next command

<<>>=
head(cabbages, n=10)
@


is showing no recoding has taken place.

Help Needed in LYX

[esrone noel]

Good day,
I have been using lyx 1.5 version to type up my journals for the past few 
months. However I have asked someone to assist me in typing and I told them to 
download lyx from the internet. Unknowing to me, that there were different 
versions available on the internet, the person downloaded  
LyX-1.6.3-1-Installer.exe
When they were finished downloading and typing up the document I gave them they 
sent it to me. I was unable to open the document using lyx 1.5.  
What I need help with is the following:
Can I do something to make the newer version of lyx to work with lyx 1.5. Right 
now when I try opening the file it is saying ''cannot convert etc etc''

Esrone.

Elyxer and Lyx 1.6.3

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,
I am trying elyxer under the last version of Lyx (1.6.3) . I have followed
the instructions in the list given by Olivier:


"I managed to get elyxer working by doing the following:

- copy elyxer.py to the script folder ("C:\Program Files\LyX
1.6.3\Resources\scripts")
on my machine,- in Preferences -> Converters, in the LyX -> HTML, modify the
command to be:


python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py $$i $$o"


I have installed the last version (0.29) of the elyxer.py script in the
folder indicated by Olivier and changed Lyx->HTML conversion command as
indicated.
I have done a reconfigure, just incase.

But, when I do View/HTML or Export/HTML Lyx continues to try to run htlatex.
I am probably missing something but I do not know what :-(

Sorry if I am making a stupid mistake but I would appreciate a lot your help
at this point, since I am just blocked...

Regards,

Murat

Hi,

IIRC, 1.5.7 can open LyX 1.6 fileformat. If you do not want to upgrade 
to 1.6, perhaps you should at least upgrade to 1.5.7.

Problems with LyX 1.6.3

[Reuven Segev]

Hi,
I downloaded and installed version 1.6.3 (classic rather the alternative
installer) on WinXP64 system (over my previous 1.6.2 version). When I opened
documents, it would not compile them. It generated an empty tex file and issued
an error message about exporting buffer (don't have the exact wording). I tried
to reinstall. Same result. Reinstalled 1.6.2 and it works fine/

Did anybody have a similar experience? Ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Reuven

Installing one version over another is in general problematic on Windows (not only for LyX). But 
when you uninstall LyX 1.6.2 and then install 1.6.3 it should work.

The strange syntax thing seems to have gone away now, so not sure what

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

With help from Anders and Jay, part of this problem seems to be solved.

Some sample code from Jay, refused to run until the document settings 
were changed to use utf8 encoding.


This worked for the sample code, but didn't help with my code.

However, I notice that with my code in the latex code window, the code 
is highlighted between the $ signs at the start of the code


cabbages$Year<-recode(cabbages$Year,"'.

I wonder if this suggests that the $ sign is being interpreted in some 
odd way.

LyX crashes upon referencing images

[Jason Lillywhite]

I am running LyX in Ubuntu 9.04 and I'm working on a document that
contains many figures and tables. LyX has crashed multiple times when
working with these figures I'm inserting.

I'm inserting figures by doing a float, then insert graphic. I found
that when I try to adjust the output size and/or LyX display size at
the time of first importing the image, it tends to crash the program.
I do not have a problem if I insert the graphic, close the dialogue
box, then edit the image settings after. I'm inserting bmp images. I'm
using an article Document Class.

Re: Sweave code full of escape codes when printed?

[Graham Smith]

Well this is a bit embarrassing , it seems I had two problems, one
was that the recode command seems to need utf8 coding rather than the
Lyx default (which is fine), plus I had typing error in the data set,
which is not fine :-(

I rewrote my code using the "with" command which allowed it to run, but
it then became obvious that the recoded results were not what I had
expected. The typing error then being obvious.

The first entry in my code was 'X2001'='2001' but the first level in
the data set was "X20001" and this was enough to cause recode to fail
in my original code, but run using the with command.

Its now working. BUT the code still runs off the edge of the page and 
doesn't wrap with a continuation symbol. Anyone have any suggestions for 
fixing this one?


Thanks to everyone for there help.

I am sorry I can't help you. Surely someone else on the list can help
you. Meanwhile you can try manual conversion on a DOS terminal,
writing:

Let us hope that LyX 1.6.4 comes already preconfigured to use eLyXer
and that the Windows installer optionally installs it. It would solve
a lot of problems for users.

Thanks,

Alex.
