Re: Portable LyX PortableApps

On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 6:47 AM, Matthias Schmidt gm_schm...@yahoo.dewrote:

 I gave this request to the PortableApps Forum Request Apps
 yesterday (http://portableapps.com/node/27981) :


There was a version of LyX at PortableApps.com but it was difficult to get
to work. I never succeeded in running it. It has also been deprecated for
lack of updates.


 I myself never made a portable app before. Is someone here who agrees to
 create a portable LyX?


I'm not volunteering to undertake this port. I don't have access to a
Windows PC at all except at client sites where having LyX as a portable app
would be helpful.

LyX+Maxima

[Francesco Menoncin]

I am working on LyX 2.0 (wonderful release!!)

I am not able to make LyX and Maxima interact.
I have put the Maxima path (C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.24.0\bin) in LyX 
(Tools-Prefereces-Paths) and reconfigure LyX.
Nevertheless, when I try to compute something (like 2+2) I just obtain 
an empty space after the formula.


Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Francesco

undirected graph with capture

[Mike Bonhoff]

Hallo,

I wanna make a graph and give it a title, say name. I think this name is 
written under the graph normally. So I think creating a figure must be the 
right thing. 

So I clicked Insert-Float-figure and gave the figure the name and inserted 
the graph. 

But I have 2 problems:

1st: The name is centered, that means in the middle of the paper to the left 
and right. On the other hand, my figure is on the left side. 

I don't know how I can center the figure, too. I read the handbook (German 
version) and there were some hints, especially for importing existing figures, 
but not a lot of hints how to create such a figure by yourself.

2nd: I wanted to create an undirected graph and choose to do it with an 
x-y-pic-matrix with this code within the math mode:

\xymatrix{a\dir[dr]bc\\def} 

That creates an xy-pic-matrix with 2 rows (because of the \\ command) and 3 
rows (because of the 2-times  command). 
\dir[dr] makes an arc to the element which is one step below (d for down) and 
one element to the right (r for right). I used to write \dir@{-}[dr] instead of 
\dir[dr] because that made an undirected edge instead of an arc. But that 
doesn't work anymore; I don't know why.

Is there a better way to do that, for example with tikz, and is it easy to use 
that within lyx? If not, how can I create simple edges in that 
xy-pic-environment and place the title under the figure.

Thanks!

Mike Bonhoff

Forward/reverse searching problems under Windows

[Christopher Menzel]

LyX folk:

I usually work in OS X or Linux but on occasion work in Windows 7.  No
problems at all with LyX under the former two but both forward and
inverse searching are failing under Windows.  I have followed all the
instructions assiduously in the Additional Features document -- path to
LyXserver pipe is set to \\.\pipe\lyxpipe, I've created the batch file
lyxeditor.bat, have configured Yap properly, etc.  But when I
double-click in my DVI preview document, a command window pops up
quickly with the message The system cannot find the file specified. 
I've seen a couple of reports of problems with inverse search and MikTeX
2.9 but no solutions.  Any help or relevant information appreciated. 
I'm using LyX 2.0, of course.

Place the cursor alongside the graph and use the paragraph settings button (or
Edit  Paragraph Settings) to center the paragraph containing the graph.
 
 2nd: I wanted to create an undirected graph and choose to do it with an 
 x-y-pic-matrix with this code within the math mode:
 
 \xymatrix{a\dir[dr]bc\\def} 
 
 That creates an xy-pic-matrix with 2 rows (because of the \\ command) and
 3 rows (because of the 2-times  command). 

The following steps work:

1.  Inside the math inset, type '\xymatrix' and hit the space bar. That creates
an inset for the upper left cell of the matrix.

2.  Use the Add row and Add column buttons in the math tool bar to expand the
matrix to two rows and three columns.

3.  In the first cell, type 'a\ar@'. Then type '\{' which will add a pair of
braces with an inset between them. Type a dash (-) in the inset.

4.  Move the cursor just outside the braces and type '[dr]'.

5.  Finish the matrix entries.

 Is there a better way to do that, for example with tikz, and is it easy to
 use that within lyx?

Choosing between Xy-pic and TiKZ is a matter of taste.  You can type TiKZ/PGF
commands into a LaTeX (ERT) insert.  (You also need to load TiKZ and any
required libraries in the preamble.)

There is a manual for using Xy-pic in LyX (by H. Peter Gumm) included with LyX
(on the Help menu).

about the shortcuts

[Wei-Dong Lian]

hi everyone,

In the insert cross-reference dialog, the listbox that lists all
the selectable items does not have a shortcut, the others components in the
dialog own a shortcut for example alt+t, o, a, e, b etc. Does anyone know
the shortcut for the listbox? I do not like using the mouse each time to
insert a cross reference. after a filter operation in that dialog, i would
like to switch back to the listbox to select the item i want to reference.
Any suggestion will be welcome.
thanks in advance,

Multiple indexes

[Francesco Menoncin]

Dear all,

I am working on LyX 2.0 and I have a strange problem with multiple indexes.

I work with both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04.
While in Ubunto everything is OK, I am not able to see the indexes in 
Windows.


I have checked the LaTeX-log and I have sees that in Ubuntu the files 
with extension ind are correctly loaded, while in Windows 7 there is 
the message no file xxx-idx.ind (even if I do not receive any error 
while compiling the document).


Any suggestion?

The problem here is that LyX is invoking the command maxima but there's
only a batch file (maxima.bat) to be executed on Windows. Now, LyX 2.0 on
Windows is not able to execute batch files anymore. You may have better
luck trying the Cygwin version of LyX , as a bash script maxima is also

Nevertheless, I just stress that Maxima and LyX perfectly work together 
in Ubuntu (11.04).

Place the cursor alongside the graph and use the paragraph settings button (or
Edit > Paragraph Settings) to center the "paragraph" containing the graph.

The following steps work:

1.  Inside the math inset, type '\xymatrix' and hit the space bar. That creates
an inset for the upper left cell of the matrix.

2.  Use the Add row and Add column buttons in the math tool bar to expand the
matrix to two rows and three columns.

3.  In the first cell, type 'a\ar@'. Then type '\{' which will add a pair of
braces with an inset between them. Type a dash (-) in the inset.

4.  Move the cursor just outside the braces and type '[dr]'.

5.  Finish the matrix entries.

Choosing between Xy-pic and TiKZ is a matter of taste.  You can type TiKZ/PGF
commands into a LaTeX (ERT) insert.  (You also need to load TiKZ and any
required libraries in the preamble.)

There is a manual for using Xy-pic in LyX (by H. Peter Gumm) included with LyX
(on the Help menu).

about the shortcuts

[Wei-Dong Lian]

hi everyone,

In the "insert cross-reference" dialog, the listbox that lists all
the selectable items does not have a shortcut, the others components in the
dialog own a shortcut for example "alt+t, o, a, e, b" etc. Does anyone know
the shortcut for the listbox? I do not like using the mouse each time to
insert a cross reference. after a filter operation in that dialog, i would
like to switch back to the listbox to select the item i want to reference.
Any suggestion will be welcome.
thanks in advance,
weidong

Multiple indexes

[Francesco Menoncin]

Dear all,

I am working on LyX 2.0 and I have a strange problem with multiple indexes.

I work with both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04.
While in Ubunto everything is OK, I am not able to see the indexes in 
Windows.


I have checked the LaTeX-log and I have sees that in Ubuntu the files 
with extension "ind" are correctly loaded, while in Windows 7 there is 
the message "no file xxx-idx.ind" (even if I do not receive any error 
while compiling the document).


Any suggestion?

Francesco

LyX doesn't yet have a function to bind a shortcut to this function. Can you please open a new bug 
report (set is as enhancement) in our bugtracker:

The problem here is that LyX is invoking the command "maxima" but there's
only a batch file (maxima.bat) to be executed on Windows. Now, LyX 2.0 on
Windows is not able to execute batch files anymore. You may have better
luck trying the Cygwin version of LyX , as a bash script "maxima" is also
supplied and the Cygwin version is able to execute it.

Make sure you use the full path to lyxeditor.bat in yap.

Uh? It works just fine for me.

Thank you for your help. I will try Cygwin.
Nevertheless, I just stress that Maxima and LyX perfectly work together 
in Ubuntu (11.04).

No and it is new for me that it has a special logo.
But note that the name of the program is "pdfTeX". pdflatex is only the name of one of its 
commands/executables.
