Hi.

I'm just finishing up a document, and I'm now focusing on hyperrefs,

Now, when I make URI hyperrefs, the colour is an ugly pink (well not

Problems when I try to insert a graph into Lyx

[Daniele_P]

Hi everyone!
I'm using the last version of Lyx for Mac (OS: Snow Leopard).. I have a
graph in jpeg format (but I also tried with a gif format and many many
others) and I want to insert it into Lyx.. 

I go in Insert--Graphics and browse the file. Then, Lyx displays the
graph correctly but when I create the pdf (pdflatex) I get this error: 

LaTeX Error: Unknown option `dvialw' for package `graphics'.

...and in the description box:

 \if
!\...@driver!
The option `dvialw' was not declared in package `graphics', perhaps you
misspelled its name. Try typing  return  to proceed.
 
-Any advise? I'm getting quite desperate!

Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Daniele

By the way, I just ported my CV from OpenOffice to Lyx, and I'm really

 This is very likely, as these could be Greek *variants* missing from a font
 that provides basic Greek letters.

 That would make sense for \varrho, but it's the regular \epsilon (not 
 \varepsilon) that's missing.

The mapping of small *letters* or *symbols* to plain vs. \var* commands
is not consistent:

\theta GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA 
\vartheta GREEK THETA SYMBOL 

\phi GREEK PHI SYMBOL
\varphi GREEK SMALL LETTER PHI 

\pi GREEK SMALL LETTER PI 
\varpi GREEK PI SYMBOL

\kappa GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA 
\varkappa GREEK KAPPA SYMBOL

\rho GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO
\varrho GREEK RHO SYMBOL

\epsilon GREEK LUNATE EPSILON SYMBOL
\varepsilon GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON


 (Are the Greek letters *in math* upright or cursive?

 Now that you mention it, they're upright.  Which is odd.  I checked my 
 Ubuntu box, which also has LyX 1.6.3 on it (and where Greek letters in 
 math appear slanted, and \epsilon is what it should be).  The Ubuntu box 
 is using DejaVu Serif/Sans/Sans Mono for the screen fonts.  So is the 
 Mint Gloria installation.  I checked with Synaptic, and they both have 
 the same version (2.28-1) of the ttf-deja-whatever fonts installed (all 
 three packages).

 Any suggestions where I could look for the cause?

 Try a different screen font.

 I did.  There was a slight change in font width, but the Greek letters 
 in math mode remained upright, and \epsilon remained epsilon (no glyph).

I remember having the problem of upright greek symbols in math with DejaVu.
For no known reason, this problem disappeared after I tried with another
font and back to DejaVu Serif (maybe this is after upgrage to 1.6.4).

BUG - Unable to view User Guide in PDF or PS

When I download from http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Manuals and attempt to view

Am I doing something wrong? I've installed the Windows version Lyx ver

Re: question regarding LyX's placement of hyperref

[Uwe Stöhr]

Venable schrieb:


I have a small question about the way LyX places hyperref among other
packages. From exporting LyX files to plain latex, it appears that LyX
does not place hyperref last among the packages, as recommended in the
hyperref manual. This is innocuous 99% of the time but has in my
experience caused problems for some more esoteric packages such as
bibentry or endfloat.


It is impossible to find a location for hyperref, so that it worjks in every case. So we've chosen 
the place that should work in most cases.



A simple workaround is to hand-code \usepackage{hyperref} (with
whatever options) into the LaTeX preamble rather than using the PDF
Properties pulldown menu. However, since the pulldown menu is very
convenient, I'm wondering if there's a way to customize LyX to place
hyperref in the right place.


The feature to be able to customize the package placement is in planning.

Layout file for Problem Set Solutions (making layout for hmcpset.cls)

[Adam]

Hi Everyone.

Could someone please help me in trying to make a LyX .layout file for
mathematical problem set solutions? I was really hoping to create something like
the Harvey Mudd College Problem Set Distribution, available here:

http://www.math.hmc.edu/computing/suppo ... s/hmcpset/

Download it, and you'll see that it's excellent! It provides one latex class
file called hmcpset.cls, a template, and an example. Open the example in your
favorite LaTeX editor, compile it with pdflatex, and you'll see what I mean...
really a great interface for typing the solutions.

I followed the instructions on making a .layout for LyX from a .cls, and made 
this hmcpset.layout file:
-
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[hmcpset,article]{homework (Harvey Mudd Problem Set)}
# DescriptionBegin 
# 2009/10/1 HMC Problem Set class in LyX
# DescriptionEnd

Input article.layout
-

Unfortunately, none of the environments from hmcpset.cls find their way into
LyX.  Must I hard code these myself in the layout file, or is there a way to get
the same thing into LyX without coding them?

In particular, I think I have to recode all of the environments (like
\begin{problem}  \end{problem}, \begin{solution} ... \end{solution}), and I
don't know how to do that.  Furthermore, I'd like to avoid doing it because
that's really the only thing the .cls file provides!

Thus, could some kind soul either:
(a) Show me how to do this and/or easily convert the hmcpset.cls file to a valid
layout, with the same environments and all, or
(b) Point me in the right direction in terms of a .layout for doing problem 
sets?

This would be EXTREMELY appreciated. Seriously you'll be my new favorite person.
Thanks for your help.

- Adam

Re: BUG - Unable to view User Guide in PDF or PS

[James Ronback]

Uwe,
Reconfiguring does not resolve the problem. I get the same symptoms.
I gave the wrong source of lyx file below.
The lyx file that is giving me the problem is the User's Guide fetched 
via the Help tab, not the web site indicated below.
So the bug still exists. Maybe the lyx file that comes with the program 
is faulty.


As workaround I'm using the merged 1.6.4/Manuals.pdf file from 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Manuals


Thanks Jim

 Ubuntu box, which also has LyX 1.6.3 on it (and where Greek letters in 
 math appear slanted, and \epsilon is what it should be).  The Ubuntu box 
 is using DejaVu Serif/Sans/Sans Mono for the screen fonts.  So is the 
 Mint Gloria installation.  I checked with Synaptic, and they both have 
 the same version (2.28-1) of the ttf-deja-whatever fonts installed (all 
 three packages).

 Any suggestions where I could look for the cause?

 Try a different screen font.

 I did.  There was a slight change in font width, but the Greek letters 
 in math mode remained upright, and \epsilon remained epsilon (no glyph).

I remember having the problem of upright greek symbols in math with DejaVu.
For no known reason, this problem disappeared after I tried with another
font and back to DejaVu Serif (maybe this is after upgrage to 1.6.4).

Layout file for Problem Set Solutions (making layout for hmcpset.cls)

[Adam]

Hi Everyone.

Could someone please help me in trying to make a LyX .layout file for
mathematical problem set solutions? I was really hoping to create something like
the Harvey Mudd College Problem Set Distribution, available here:

http://www.math.hmc.edu/computing/suppo ... s/hmcpset/

Download it, and you'll see that it's excellent! It provides one latex class
file called hmcpset.cls, a template, and an example. Open the example in your
favorite LaTeX editor, compile it with pdflatex, and you'll see what I mean...
really a great interface for typing the solutions.

I followed the instructions on making a .layout for LyX from a .cls, and made 
this hmcpset.layout file:
-
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[hmcpset,article]{homework (Harvey Mudd Problem Set)}
# DescriptionBegin 
# 2009/10/1 HMC Problem Set class in LyX
# DescriptionEnd

Input article.layout
-

Unfortunately, none of the environments from hmcpset.cls find their way into
LyX.  Must I hard code these myself in the layout file, or is there a way to get
the same thing into LyX without coding them?

In particular, I think I have to recode all of the environments (like
\begin{problem}  \end{problem}, \begin{solution} ... \end{solution}), and I
don't know how to do that.  Furthermore, I'd like to avoid doing it because
that's really the only thing the .cls file provides!

Thus, could some kind soul either:
(a) Show me how to do this and/or easily convert the hmcpset.cls file to a valid
layout, with the same environments and all, or
(b) Point me in the right direction in terms of a .layout for doing problem 
sets?

This would be EXTREMELY appreciated. Seriously you'll be my new favorite person.
Thanks for your help.

Problems when I try to insert a graph into Lyx

[Daniele_P]

Hi everyone!
I'm using the last version of Lyx for Mac (OS: Snow Leopard).. I have a
graph in jpeg format (but I also tried with a gif format and many many
others) and I want to insert it into Lyx.. 

I go in "Insert"-->"Graphics" and browse the file. Then, Lyx displays the
graph correctly but when I create the pdf (pdflatex) I get this error: 

LaTeX Error: Unknown option `dvialw' for package `graphics'.

...and in the description box:

 \if
!\...@driver!
The option `dvialw' was not declared in package `graphics', perhaps you
misspelled its name. Try typingto proceed.
 
->Any advise? I'm getting quite desperate!

Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Daniele

Thanks. It worked perfectly.

I instead used


\usepackage{xcolor}
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,urlcolor={brown!100!orange!75!black!100}}


It doesn't seem that \usepackage{hyperref} is necessary in the preamble.

By the way, I just ported my CV from OpenOffice to Lyx, and I'm really 
amazed by the way you can get precise layout control using tables. It's 
a bit a pain to do it this way, but not that much, and I more and more 
fail to perceive the added value of software such as OpenOffice / MS Word.


The only thing that I found to be a real pain is using Libertine /
