Re: Lyx 1.6.5 Installer
Hello. Thanks for your reply. I don't know if it is a good reason, but the alternative installer shows up an annoying console window when it opens. I really dislikes it, haha. In general, I think the standalone installer is more "clean". This is why I prefer it. :-) Regards, --- Diego Queiroz On Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 1:00 AM, Uwe Stöhr wrote: > Diego Queiroz schrieb: > > > Someone knoes when Windows binaries for Lyx 1.6.5 will be available? >> > > (the standalone installer, not the alternative one) > > No, but the installer doesn't matter.

Re: launching LyX 1.6.5
EK schrieb: It still did /*not */work. The response from running: lyx -dbg 3 was: Lyx is not recognized as an internal or external command.. etc. When calling lyx -dbg 3 from the console, are you already in the folder where the lyx.exe file resides? "Lyx is not recognized as an internal or external command" is the error message when you e.g. called lyx from C:\hello while lyx.exe is e.g. in C:\Programs\LyX 1.6.4 Can you please try it again and send me the whole log you get in the console when calling LyX? Where does the lyx.exe reside? Some general questions: Are you sure that no other LyX version is installed on your system?

Buggy table cell options with graphics
Hi all- Both lyx v.1.6.4 and v.1.6.5 have the same problem: the table cell options don't work correctly with graphics contents. I put together a beamer presentation with several graphics per slide, so I used the old HTML trick of ordering the images within a table. However, I found the following problems: 1. The vertical placement option is broken: Only the "middle" place works. Both "top"and "bottom"just place the image at the bottom of the cell. 2. The "top" and "bottom" vertical placement buttons that appear as part of the Table toolbar are switched with respect to the "Table Settings" Edit menu option. 3. In the "Graphic Settings" options box, the "Set height" Output size option does not maintain the aspect ratio. So, getting a tall image to display properly means fudging around with setting a horizontal width instead of specifying eg. just 80% of text height. Have these bugs been reported before? Mateo.

For reference, evince displays the PDF you sent me just fine. When I ran dvips on the LyX-generated DVI I received the following useful error: dvips: Unknown keyword (project/latex/"/radial_impulse_latex.eps...) in \special will be ignored dvips: Could not find figure file /home/jonathan/courses/mae521/final; continuing. Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2 mode. ] /me jumps up and down screaming. Yes, this means that something in my LaTeX stack doesn't work well with whitespace in directory names (one of the parents of the working directory is "final project"). After renaming that folder with an underscore in the space's place, we have the following status: - Postscript output from LyX works fine and looks good. - PDF output from LyX works fine. The vertical text has an oddly broken appearance, but that could be a rendering bug. - In the DVI output, the y-axis label is not rotated 90 deg, it is horizontal when viewed with xdvi. However, after conversion to .ps the file looks good. Since the latex produced by lyx only uses relative path names, I don't think that the error is in Lyx - it is in some program distributed with texlive. Thanks for the help. -Jonathan

Broken Cross-References after copy/paste
Hi, I copied and pasted an article into a new file, complete with all the cross-references. The cross-reference names did not change, but all the references in the text are broken when I output to pdf. What happened? Is there some sort of run that I have to do to get the correct references to show up in the pdf output? Everything is identical between the original doc where the references work and the new document. Thanks. Rob
Re: Change order of bibliography entries
A suggestion: You could use the unsrt bibliography style. That will put the references in order of appearance. You can then use the \nocite command in the beginning of the document to get the order you want. I haven't tried this, but it should work -- but you have to manually sort the references, which is a hassle if you have many.

Lyx + gnuplot epslatex
I am having difficulty using Gnuplot's epslatex output in conjunction with Lyx. Gnuplot itself is capable of separately providing EPS graphics as well as text and labels as Tex code. Strictly speaking, I'm using Octave as a front-end to Gnuplot, but that shouldn't matter. So, I have the .tex and the .eps files produced by gnuplot, and a .lyx file that attempts to use the file as input. Various tutorials, like http://psung.blogspot.com/2007/03/gnuplot-plots-in-latex.html suggest that this should work. However, I only get the labels and axes in the generated output, and none of the graphics. This happens regardless of the type of output generated by Lyx (PDF, DVI, or PS). If I manually \includegraphics the EPS, then it gets placed underneath the proper text as though it was a second figure or something. If I manually run latex on the plain LaTeX exported by Lyx, then the results are even stranger. The console output reports errors about an overfull \hbox. The graphics are displayed, as is the text for the legend, but the axes are not displayed. This is intensely frustrating. How is \input supposed to work? Its not like I'm using ERT or anything like that. A minimal example that demonstrates the problem is attached.

Re: Subfloats alignment
Thanks for your help. The second example (with a table cell) does work. I'm not sure it does exactly what I wanted, as it also moves up the caption. My idea was probably more to have the images themselves centered, but the (sub)captions aligned. However, it's all about the visual impression, and this looks better than before. Again, thanks for your help.

Why this? The installer clearly state not to change anything. The installer automatically configures MiKTeX and the change to letter size can be done anytime later.

My problem is (at least I think so) that packages like svninfo are using the name of the .tex file to obtain the versioning info. This obviously does not work, as the .lyx file is versioned. When I put the following into the preamble: \usepackage{svninfo} \usepackage{prelim2e} \renewcommand{\PrelimWords}{% Draft -- \textsf{RandomClearing.lyx} -- svn ID: \svnId } I get: Draft – RandomClearing.lyx – svn ID: –sourcefile– –revision– –time– –owner– – 11th December 2009 at the bottom of my document. Is there another package which would be able to give me the svn info from the .lyx file to include it into the final compiled document (pdf)? Thanks, Rainer -- NEW GERMAN FAX NUMBER!!! Rainer M.

default ps view for beamer class
Hi, I mostly use LyX on my laptop, with openSuSE 11.1, and LyX 1.6.4.1. When using beamer class, the default ps view (viewer set as gv) has a right orientation, as it should be of slides. However, under similar configuration for the same document on my desktop, the orientation is that of an article. Could some suggest me how to change this. I'm not even sure whether this is concerned with LyX or gv. Thanks in advance, S.K. Tomar

Those are just some of my thoughts but I don't think I know enough of the details to do the editing myself. Best, Ken 2009/12/11 Uwe Stöhr: Thank you very much Siegfried! That works with a small correction:... Can everybody involved in this thread please do other users the favor and add to our LyX Wiki how a LyXServer is set up on Windows?: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXServer Many thanks in advance and regards Uwe That was 100% correct! Also, It seems 1,After changing the named pipe in Lyx, I need to restart Lyx to let it use the named pipe correctly. 2,I need to firstly add the Bib database from Menu->insert->List/Toc->BibTex bibliography.

Change order of bibliography entries
Hi, I use Lyx 1.6.3 with JabRef 2.4.2 to create the bibliography entries. Perhaps this question is not really Lyx specific, but I hope that others of you already solved a problem like this. I want to reference a standard with 10 parts. To get my preferred notation, I use the field "author" to set the name of the standard with the part, for example: STANDARD - 1 STANDARD - 2 . STANDARD - 10 The problem is that the order in the output pdf is wrong. It's sorted like: STANDARD - 1 STANDARD - 10 STANDARD - 2 . Is it somehow possible, to change this wrong order like in the example above? (Without changing my preferred notation) Perhaps I only ignored some settings? Thanks for hints! Matthias

memoir class/ book/ first page blank
Dear lyx-list, using memoir class (book) _before_ the title page a blank page is inserted. How can I get rid of this blank page before the title page so that the document (book) starts directly with the title page? thanks, best wishes leo
