Re: Lyx-Code not available in IEEEtran in Lyx 2.0 alpha 3

[Raja Zubair]

Hi Uwe

Lyx-Code was available in Lyx 1.6.6 when using the IEEEtran document class. It 
also seems from the IEEEtran How to that the user is free to use any Latex 
commands

IEEE publications use the figure environment to contain
algorithms that are not to be a part of the main text flow.
Peter Williams’ and Rogerio Brito’s algorithmic.sty package
[24] or Szász János’ algorithmicx.sty package [25] (the latter is
designed to be more customizable than the former) may be of
help in producing algorithm-like structures (although authors
are of course free to use whatever LATEX commands they are
most comfortable with in this regard). However, do not use
the floating algorithm environment of algorithm.sty (also by
Williams and Brito) or algorithm2e.sty (by Christophe Fiorio)
as the only floating structures IEEE uses are figures and tables.
Furthermore, IEEEtran will not be in control of the (non-IEEE)
caption style produced by the algorithm.sty or algorithm2e.sty
float environments.


If Lyx-Code is not a good way to write some pseudo-code in IEEEtran using Lyx, 
then what is the recommended way to do it ?

with best regards
Zubair

Error 92 returned from iconv when converting from UCS-4LE to ISO-8859-15:
Illegal byte sequence

   
iconv error. I should've thought of this. This is probably due to some 
cut and paste operation you did, and you've ended up with characters 
that are illegal in your file's encoding. (Another possibility is that 
you have an illegal character in a BibTeX file.) In any event, the

RE: Cannot Export Lyx to latex on Mac

[Steve Thompson]

Thanks for the hint on running from a command window to see more useful
error messages. As it turned out, my problem existed only with a nonstandard
class/layout combination. The reported error was that tex2lyx could not find
the .layout file. The reason was that the layout file and the class file had
different names (jasatex.cls and jasa.layout). The layout file contains the
class file name, but not vice versa, so tex2lyx didn't know where to find
the layout.

The problem was fixed by renaming the layout file to jasatex.layout; i.e.
fixing the original operator error.

Thanks again,
Steve

So there is a problem with the copying of the file from the temporary

 lyx -dbg files
and, if that doens't work:

The latter will dump a lot of info. We're only interested in what

Re: Install LyX 2.0 alpha3 in Ubuntu

[Rob Oakes]

Probably the easiest way to do this is to downloa and install the Qt SDK
for Windows (http://qt.nokia.com/downloads).  It includes the Qt4
development libraries, documentation, and an IDE called Qt Creator.

Using Qt Creator in addition to CMake (http://www.cmake.org/) is
probably the easiest way I've found to get up and running with a LyX
development environment.  All it involves is checking out the code,  to
opening a new project, and then clicking on the
development/cmake/CMakeLists.txt file.  Qt Creator will then configure,
compile and index your project for you.  And best of all, everything is
free.

There are ways to get up and running with MS Visual Studio, but I'm not
nearly patient enough to figure them out.

Cheers,

Rob

Beamer and logo

[Ehud Kaplan]

After playing with Beamer for a while, and admiring the beautiful 
slides it can make,
I am disappointed to discover that the style dictatorship that Latex 
enforces could become

too restrictive:

   * Beamer allows us to place a logo on the slides, but ONLY where it
 wants to (not really where I would put it by default).
   * If you set the headings to empty, it also eliminate the logo (I
 fail to see the connection)

Without the ability to place a logo anywhere the user wishes to, Beamer 
might be useless for certain presentations.


   * In addition, when used through Lyx, the logo is not displayed with
 the pdflatex preview.  You have to export to Latex, compile and
 view the pdf.

This is then correct. To get rid of the console windows, you need to

I believe you can put a logo pretty much anywhere on the periphery if you use a
style that has a bar in that area and then hack the appropriate outer theme to
put the logo where you want it.
 
 In addition, when used through Lyx, the logo is not displayed
 with the pdflatex preview.  You have to export to Latex, compile and

When I preview beamer files using pdflatex, I see my logo(s).

Alternative installer update ignores language setting

[Ivo]

I encountered a weird issue after updating Lyx 1.6.5 (installed using
the alternative installer) to 1.6.6 using the alternative installer
update. The update finished without problems, but when starting Lyx it
suddenly had a mixed Dutch/English user interface.

I think this may have something to do with me running a Dutch version
of Windows and an English version of Lyx. If I remember correctly it
was possible to select the user interface language in the 1.6.5
install, but the update seems to ignore this choice.

There was a bug in my previous installer versions that LyX's languages settings were overwritten 
when starting LyX. This is now fixed, but you now explicitly set the language one time:
In the LyX menu Tools-Preferences-Language Settings set the user interface language to English and 
press Save. Then restart LyX and you should have a pure English LyX. If this doesn't work, please

You can use Equation Array to number the /lines/ of a set of equations

cells of a table. That said, it might be possible to fake this by 
entering two-column mode (or something similar) for a bit.


Also, you can always do the numbering manually: Step the counter

Thanks for the hint on running from a command window to see more useful
error messages. As it turned out, my problem existed only with a nonstandard
class/layout combination. The reported error was that tex2lyx could not find
the .layout file. The reason was that the layout file and the class file had
different names (jasatex.cls and jasa.layout). The layout file contains the
class file name, but not vice versa, so tex2lyx didn't know where to find
the layout.

The problem was fixed by renaming the layout file to jasatex.layout; i.e.
fixing the original operator error.

Thanks again,
Steve

So there is a problem with the copying of the file from the temporary

 lyx -dbg files

Re: Install LyX 2.0 alpha3 in Ubuntu

[Louis A. Turk]

Hi Francisco,

You said, Finally, I installed LyX 2.0. I needed to install some
delopment libreries for qt4.

I want to do the same. Would you please give details?

Thanks,

Re: Install LyX 2.0 alpha3 in Ubuntu

[Rob Oakes]

Probably the easiest way to do this is to downloa and install the Qt SDK
for Windows (http://qt.nokia.com/downloads).  It includes the Qt4

Using Qt Creator in addition to CMake (http://www.cmake.org/) is
probably the easiest way I've found to get up and running with a LyX

There are ways to get up and running with MS Visual Studio, but I'm not

Beamer and logo

[Ehud Kaplan]

After playing with Beamer for a while, and admiring the beautiful 
slides it can make,
I am disappointed to discover that the style dictatorship that Latex 
enforces could become

too restrictive:

   * Beamer allows us to place a logo on the slides, but ONLY where it
 wants to (not really where I would put it by default).
   * If you set the headings to empty, it also eliminate the logo (I
 fail to see the connection)

Without the ability to place a logo anywhere the user wishes to, Beamer 
might be useless for certain presentations.


   * In addition, when used through Lyx, the logo is not displayed with
 the pdflatex preview.  You have to export to Latex, compile and
 view the pdf.

I believe you can put a logo pretty much anywhere on the periphery if you use a
style that has a bar in that area and then hack the appropriate outer theme to
put the logo where you want it.
 
 In addition, when used through Lyx, the logo is not displayed

Alternative installer update ignores language setting

[Ivo]

I encountered a weird issue after updating Lyx 1.6.5 (installed using
the alternative installer) to 1.6.6 using the alternative installer
update. The update finished without problems, but when starting Lyx it
suddenly had a mixed Dutch/English user interface.

I think this may have something to do with me running a Dutch version
of Windows and an English version of Lyx. If I remember correctly it
was possible to select the user interface language in the 1.6.5
install, but the update seems to ignore this choice.

Ivo

There was a bug in my previous installer versions that LyX's languages settings were overwritten 
when starting LyX. This is now fixed, but you now explicitly set the language one time:
In the LyX menu Tools-Preferences-Language Settings set the user interface language to English and 
press Save. Then restart LyX and you should have a pure English LyX. If this doesn't work, please 
report back.

You can use Equation Array to number the /lines/ of a set of equations 
automatically. But there is, so far as I know, no easy way to number the 
cells of a table. That said, it might be possible to fake this by 
entering two-column mode (or something similar) for a bit.


Also, you can always do the numbering manually: Step the counter

Re: Lyx-Code not available in IEEEtran in Lyx 2.0 alpha 3

[Raja Zubair]

Hi Uwe

Lyx-Code was available in Lyx 1.6.6 when using the IEEEtran document class. It 
also seems from the IEEEtran How to that the user is free to use any Latex 
commands

IEEE publications use the figure environment to contain
algorithms that are not to be a part of the main text flow.
Peter Williams’ and Rogerio Brito’s algorithmic.sty package
[24] or Szász János’ algorithmicx.sty package [25] (the latter is
designed to be more customizable than the former) may be of
help in producing algorithm-like structures (although authors
are of course free to use whatever LATEX commands they are
most comfortable with in this regard). However, do not use
the floating algorithm environment of algorithm.sty (also by
Williams and Brito) or algorithm2e.sty (by Christophe Fiorio)
as the only floating structures IEEE uses are figures and tables.
Furthermore, IEEEtran will not be in control of the (non-IEEE)
caption style produced by the algorithm.sty or algorithm2e.sty
float environments.


If Lyx-Code is not a good way to write some pseudo-code in IEEEtran using Lyx, 
then what is the recommended way to do it ?

with best regards
Zubair

OK. I'll re-add LyX code again.

Latest version (1.6.6). And it acts the same way whether I double click the

[Ehud Kaplan]

After playing with Beamer for a while, and admiring the beautiful 
"slides" it can make,
I am disappointed to discover that the style dictatorship that Latex 
enforces could become

too restrictive:

   * Beamer allows us to place a logo on the slides, but ONLY where it
 wants to (not really where I would put it by default).
   * If you set the headings to empty, it also eliminate the logo (I
 fail to see the connection)

Without the ability to place a logo anywhere the user wishes to, Beamer 
might be useless for certain presentations.


   * In addition, when used through Lyx, the logo is not displayed with
 the pdflatex preview.  You have to export to Latex, compile and
 view the pdf.

This is then correct. To get rid of the console windows, you need to 
start LyX via the Start menu (this links to the program lyxLauncher.exe).

I believe you can put a logo pretty much anywhere on the periphery if you use a
style that has a bar in that area and then hack the appropriate "outer theme" to
put the logo where you want it.

When I preview beamer files using pdflatex, I see my logo(s).

Just to write to confirm all of your suspicions, I was able to find the
one offending instance of the "fi" ligature and remove it- thank you,
Jürgen! After doing so, the file export worked. (The character did indeed
enter my LaTeX file because of cutting and pasting from elsewhere, as
Richard guessed.)

Thank you very much to all for the help.

We should try to do something about this: I didn't need to guess, as it 
happens quite frequently, though more often with BibTeX, where we can't 
do anything.

Alternative installer update ignores language setting

[Ivo]

I encountered a weird issue after updating Lyx 1.6.5 (installed using
the alternative installer) to 1.6.6 using the alternative installer
update. The update finished without problems, but when starting Lyx it
suddenly had a mixed Dutch/English user interface.

I think this may have something to do with me running a Dutch version
of Windows and an English version of Lyx. If I remember correctly it
was possible to select the user interface language in the 1.6.5
install, but the update seems to ignore this choice.

Regards,
Ivo

problem inserting equation in table

[Esteban Cervetto]

Hi:

I ve problems inserting an equation in  table. The error is:



*Missing $ Inserted*

\exp

\left(\alpha+\overset{d}{\underset{j=1}{\sum}}\gamma_{j}+\overset{w...

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think

you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

*Missing $ Inserted
*

...d}{\underset{t=2}{\sum}}\iota_{t}\right)\]

 I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.

(See the  above.)

With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you

really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then

my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

Fwd: problem inserting equation in table

[Esteban Cervetto]

I discovered the problem disapperars toggling the equation to a inline mode.
But I need numbered it. There is part of a reference table of equations in
my text, so need identify them by numbered IDs, and I ve arranged them in a
table form.

There was a bug in my previous installer versions that LyX's languages settings were overwritten 
when starting LyX. This is now fixed, but you now explicitly set the language one time:
In the LyX menu Tools->Preferences->Language Settings set the user interface language to English and 
press Save. Then restart LyX and you should have a pure English LyX. If this doesn't work, please 
report back.

Table can only contain inline equations.
In your case I would reference the equations by the column/row number of the 
table.

You can use Equation Array to number the /lines/ of a set of equations 
automatically. But there is, so far as I know, no easy way to number the 
cells of a table. That said, it might be possible to fake this by 
entering two-column mode (or something similar) for a bit.


Also, you can always do the numbering manually: Step the counter 
yourself; display it; etc. This would require some LaTeX knowledge, but 
I'll bet lots of people here would help. It's a nice question how to do 
it best.
