I am running version 1.6.5 on OS X 10.6.
Is there an easy way to make this work in LyX? Perhaps I shouldn't be using
PSTricks at all? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi Diego,
If it works in LaTeX, it should work in LyX too. The problem I see with
your approach, is that LyX compiles the document in a temporary
directory, by first copying any necessary files, such as graphics, to
this directory. But... in this case since the \includegraphics commands
are in TeX mode, LyX isn't smart enough to copy those files too.
The solution is to include those graphics in the LyX's way, using Insert
> Graphics. Then, wrap the two figures with your TeX code. Since you
are using psfrag commands, you will have no choice but to use one of the
postscript output (ps or ps2pdf). Try and please comment back if this
works for you or not.
Best,
Julien

Re: preview issue in 64bit windows
Am 05.09.2010 22:37, schrieb E.R.: I have some problems with previewing JPG and PS/EPS in LyX in both WinXP/Win7 64bit environments. I had installed both ImageMagick and GhostScript in 64bit versions before installing LyX (by alternative installer). It is much more safe not to install them separately. Nevertheless it should work. My first question is: is it possible not to install 32bit versions of these apps from the LyX installer (both "official" or alternative)? No, the installer only ships one version of these applications to keep the file size low. Thus we only ship the 32bit version. But you don't need the 64bit versions. Personally, I also have a 64bit Windows but use the 32bit versions as I cannot see any difference in speed. After installing, my PNG preview works, but JPG and EPS files not. In the 32bit XP/Vista, preview works. Have you some workaround for this issue? Uninstalling LyX, 64bit ImageMagick and GSview/GhostScript and subsequent reinstall of LyX with its 32bit alternatives of IM/GS didn't solve the problem. Hmm, this works here on WinXp 64bit when I install IM and GS together with the alternative LyX Windows installer. regards Uwe

Its part of TeX, the base of LaTeX and hence documented in any comprehensive textbook about these two.

Re: suppressing "Chapter" labels in book class
Can I be more specific with this What I would like to be able to do is to replace Chapter 1 Title of Chapter 1 With 1. Title of Chapter 1 So it looks like another section I can't simply use sections as they start numbers at zero if you don't use the chapter environment. I'm not sure my earlier post was all that clear. Thanks, Graham On 05/09/2010 11:08, Graham Smith wrote: I'm afraid I have asked this before, but can't find it either by googlng or in my mail base.

Nomenclature: Option clash, & localisation issue
I would like to use the refpage option of the nomenclature package in the
German localisation. I'm using KOMA scrbook with the naustrian language
option.
I don't know how to pass the option "german" to the package "nomencl"
without destroying my option setting in scrbook. Calling the package again
with my options does not work either and results in an option clash.
Maybe there is no way and I should use the German localisation? But then I
would loose some special Austrian words, for instance in the date ("Jänner"
for "Januar"). I seems to me that people using the new German spelling
"ngerman" would have a similar problem.
I can change the name of the glossary manually with
\renewcommand{\nomname}{Glossar} for example, but I don't now how to do this
kind of localisation with refpage.

text placement with box(minipage) on same page
Using book class I have some information inside a box, which is sitting inside a branch (as the material is optional). The box fills about a quarter of the page. The box is being placed at the bottom of the page and the three short paragraphs of text above the box on the same page are being spread evenly to fill the space. As they are short paragraphs this leaves large amounts of white space between them. If I convert then them to a single paragraph, that single paragraph is then centred in the whte space between the top of the page and the top of the box. This obviously does not look very good. There is another box/code branch on the next page if that is important. However for this page it would make sense if the paragraphs and the box were all moved up, so all the white space was at the bottom of the page. I hope that makes sense, and that somoen can tell me how to fix this. Many thanks, Graham

I have each chapter in a branch and I only work with one branch open at a time, but this doesn't help at all. I also have the navigation window closed, and math preview is off. I suppose putting them in brances will not help as much as putting them in separate files (included by a master file). Putting them in such big branches will even worsen the performance I think... Branches and Insets in general were not really designed for big text. If you really need branches I suggest as Gunter said to put the chapters in different child documents and put the Include insets in branches in the master document. Abdel.
