Thus i need you suggestion to solve this problem. Attached here are

Have you tried to create a layout file for this document? If so, what
have you done? It looks pretty much like an article, so you could start
with:
\DeclareLaTeXClass{article (ICCAS Conference)}
Input article.layout
and save it as ICCAS2010.layout, and see how well it works.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.6.7 is released!
Sorry all - false alarm. For whatever reason, when I installed 1.6.7, the default LyX switched to 2.0alpha4 on my system, and I did not notice this. So it turns out that scrolling and dialogue boxes work fine in 1.6.7. Again, sorry for the false alarm.

A document link to something addressing both Xfig and its use in drawing circuits is the following: http://users.skynet.be/hugocoolens/linux/xfig-howto.pdf Xfig has the electrical libraries built into it. Once done, you export the result to an eps figure and import it into LyX. The only question is whether you know Xfig or not. It is fairly easy to do basic stuff. Good luck!

Key-Bindings for Zoom-In and Zoom-Out
Dear LyX users, since some time it is more and more common to zoom-in or zoom-out the workspace of an application with Ctrl-plus or Ctrl-minus key-strokes. On a Apple Mac this would be Cmd-plus or Cmd-minus. Traditionally in LyX the Ctrl-minus keys produces an hyphenation hint. Therefore we have a conflict here. On the one hand the new user would more likely expect Ctrl-plus/minus to act as zoom-in/out. On the other hand the experienced users may disagree with the change of behaviour if the standard key-binding of LyX for the hyphenation hint move to e. g. Ctrl-Shift-minus. So I want to start a little poll here: please tell your pro or cons for binding the zoom-in/-out feature to Ctrl-plus/-minus and moving the current binding of Ctrl-minus. Regards, Stephan

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.6.7 is released!
It appears that mouse scrolling is broken on the Mac for LyX 1.6.7. This same problem is present in the alpha versions of 2.0 on the Mac, and it looks like it slipped through the cracks for this release. Any chance of a patch being released in the very near future to fix this serious regression?

[announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.7
Hello LyXers, the alternative Windows installer for LyX 1.6.7 is now available. This installer comes again with an update installer to update existing LyX 1.6.6.1 installation to LyX 1.6.7. NOTE: To be able to use this update installer, LyX 1.6.6.1 must have been installed with the alternative Windows installer. If you are using LyX 1.6.6 and not 1.6.6.1, I recommend to uninstall 1.6.6 _completely_ and reinstall 1.6.7. This way you have an up to date installation including important security fixes in third-party programs like ImageMagick. (ImageMagick is used by LyX to convert images.) - The installer for this version can be downloaded from: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=17719 and http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.7/ (General infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) Installer Changelog: - Version 4.25 - LyX 1.6.7 - updated to eLyXer 0.99 - updated to ImageMagick 6.6.3-0 - updated Qt libraries to version 4.6.3 - happy LyXing Uwe

Re: Help: Newbie writing a report- Help in drawing diagrams particularly circuits
Hi Bob, The best way to create specific types of drawings for a LyX document is to use a program designed for that purpose (like a circuit diagram editor) and then exporting to an appropriate image format (PDF, PNG, JPEG, etc.). There may be LaTeX packages that can draw circuit diagrams (I wouldn't know, not my cup of tea), but the learning curve associated with those packages is far too steep to mount by your deadline. Better to use what you know (even if that's stencil sets and pen/paper + a scanner), then to try and reinvent the wheel on a deadline. Once the image is created, you can then add it to a document and use a float to add a caption. Cheers, Rob On Jul 15, 2010, at 7:50 AM, BOB Merhebi wrote: > Hello, > > I am a newbie to LyX.

Hello, I am a newbie to LyX. I searched most manuals & wikis but could find nothing about drawing diagrams (physics related).

You help is appreciated thx Sincerely Yours, BOB Merhebi
Re: txfonts integral sign replaced with intersection operator
Hi, I get this problem (still) from both pxfonts and txfonts. The only workaround I have found is to use \varint rather than plain \int for integrals.

LyX + Beamer + MikTex 2008 = fail
Dear LyX users and developers, when I try to compile the beamer template provided with LyX, the pdf is not generated but a number of errors occur. I have found that the problem is due to the recent version of the package geometry.sty provided with MikTeX 2008. The bug can be fixed with some line of TeX code before the "\documentclass" command, but, while this is easy in .tex documents, I found no way to fix the bug by using LyX. As a consequence, beamer slides cannot be rendered in LyX. I hope developers will soon fix the problem with a patch or a workaround. Bye, Corrado

Hi Julien,
thanks for your reply ;-)
You proposal helped me to pin down the effect somewhat more.
Since i'm using the koma scrlttr2 class i had to use the command
\thispagestyle{scrheadings} (which is used in my stye file for this
document too.
This doesn't solve my problem, though.
It seems that the LaTeX command \printindex{} which is generated by LyX
is the culprit.
I suppose it issues a command like \thispagestyle{empty} because it is
starting sort of a new chapter.
Following this route i found a workaround. Her it is (in the hope that
may be helpful for somebody else)
* export my lyx file to LaTeX (pdflatex)
* run pdflatex from the command line on this a first time
(which generates an *.idx file)
* run makeindex on this file (without extension)
(which generates an *.ind file which will be input during the next
pdflatex run)
In my reply to your personal account i forgot the most important point ,-(
*** Edit the *.ind file ***
After the first line
\begin{theindex}
add the line
\thispagestyle{scrheadings}
* final run of pfdlatex on the *.tex source file
And here we are, the first page of the index has the desired header and
footer lines.
Happy LyXing
Hellmut

Vertical align text to top in a row with images
Hi,
I have a table with images in a row. First column has paragraph cells
with row descriptions. Unfortunately I can not figure out how to align
the text vertical such that it is at the top of the row. I tried
diffrent settings and also used a parbox enclosing the images, but the
text in the first column is always aligned to the bottom. When I try to
use 'top' alignment for the column the outcome is even worse, as the
text is beneath the baseline.
Sample code:
\begin{tabular}{|>{\raggedright}p{1.5in}|c|c|c|}
\hline
Pictures & \includegraphics[width=1.5in]{...} &
\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{...} &
\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{...}\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
bye,
Falk

One thing needs to be understand and remembered: pdflatex does not
understand POSTSCRIPT. So everything further is a little bit tricky.
Please read: http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~fouvry/how-do-I.html
It may help you understand what you need to have PSTricks working with
your LaTeX document. I've tried, but getting results is very heavy and
time consuming tasks.
And, what is worth mention here, LyX does not support such trickery
execution of different types of LaTeX compilers. Some --shell-escape
added to pdflatex invocation helps with pst-pdf, but I could cause
pdflatex to crash every time you do not use PSTrick in your document.
In general, worth to try, but everyday usefulness in minor in my opinion.
On the other hand I heard Tikz gives good results with pdflatex:
http://www.texample.net/tikz/ but I hadn't chance to try.

lyx/pdflatex pstrick
Hi All,
I am having no success on including some pstrick code as I always get
errors. If I just put the code in a normal documet and do:
latex ->dvi2pdf then it works.
It seems to me that pdflatex has some issues with pstricks. Is there any
work around for it?
Thanks
Artimess
ps:The sample code that I am using is. yes, I have pstrick and pstree in my
preamble
\pstree[radius=3pt]{\Toval{root}}{\TC * \TC* \TC* \TC*}
