If you have followed the little manual you know in tools - preferences there is 
two options, one that says file types and the other says converters
in the first you define the Python graphics file type

 Thanks Alex,
 That opens new and nice perspectives.

 I have just thought about another possibility: Since the Sage software
 uses Python as a glue, it must be also possible to use the Sage module
 for LyX to make computations in Python in Sage and include the results
 in the final PDF file.  

There are numerous possibilities using converters like this - ranging
From simple scripts (one can also call R like this if one does not need
a single session and only wants to do simple graphs), to calling complex
simulations... whatever produces graphs. Actually not only graphs, also
text, e.g. tables generated should work with the correct export format?

Alex - I think it would be a good idea to add this to the LyX wiki.

Cheers,

Rainer



 That reminds me that I should check the Sage module for the last
 version of Lyx (have not had any time to look at it yet).

Inserting text (instead of graphics) from code into LyX?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

In the thread Python Graphics in LyX it was shown nicely how other
programming languages can be used to include grahics generated by these
into a LyX Document. That made me thinking: How can I do the same for
text files generated by these external code blocks?

Obviously, this depends on the format of the text (ascii, LaTeX,
others?). What would be the workflow? Does the text has to be in a file
(I assume) or could it be redirected directly into LyX?

Somehow I have the feeling I am missing something trivial here...

Cheers,

Rainer

 By any chance does that mean you have LyX installed on a machine running

 (broken, as I recall) version of latex that appeared on the command path
 ahead of the MiKTeX version. If that's the case for you, moving MiKTeX's bin

 help. (I would put LyX's bin directory ahead of Cygwin's as well.)

Hi Paul,

thanks for your help! Yes, there is cygwin install on the computer. I now
looked for the cygwin directory in system path variable, but there was only
the miktex path, so I'm not sure if that is the problem or if I looked at
the wrong variable. This is what's in the path variable:

C:\Windows\system32
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

and these are the paths from LyX:

Re: Backspacing at the start of an inset occupying a paragraph

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

08/06/2014 22:57, Richard Heck:

I think the reason this happens is that the layout in effect in the
inset becomes the layout in effect in the paragraph, if the inset is the
only thing there. I'm not sure exactly why it works that way, though.


This is is probably the case indeed. This makes sense when the note 
contains a Section environment for example. The behavior should be 
dependent on whether the layout is the default one or not.


I have no idea of where this code lives, though.

I think this deserves a bug report.

The problem is triggered by my .bib entry, which includes a non-ascii character:

By playing with lyx Document/Settings/Encoding, selecting unicode XeTeX 
(utf-8), 
I seem to be able to export dvi and then convert dvipdf OK.

So is this a good procedure, or is something else recommended here?

Re: [Feature Request] python binding

[Ross Reyes]

Alex,  This did not work for me.

I can run the python script from the command line and it does produce a 
.png output.   So I know the

script is working.

But, in LyX 2.0.1 which I'm using, I get Error converting to loadable 
format.  I am trying to debug it.
Not sure at this point why it does not convert inside LyX.  I double 
checked the file format is defined and

also the converter is defined correctly.

I will try to turn on a log file to see if there are some other 
diagnostic messages.

I just add comments inline


Let's see if I understand:


-1. You define a *file type* in LyX under
 Preferences  File Handling  File Formats
for the file type .pygr in which Vector graphics format is ticked!

0. You define a converter under
 Preferences  File Handling  Converters
which calls a script which executed files with the extension .pygr and
generates, as you suggest below, an svg.


1. I wrote a python script that produces the graphic I want


Exactly - and you give it a specific extension .pygr for python
script which generates a graphic which you defined above.


2. I insert it in LyX somehow I don't know, perhaps defining a
converter from .py to svg, but this needs to be inside a module or
every python script in LyX will try to be converted into a svg!! So a
module is also needed


Use insert graphic and select *your .pygr* file as graphic - and Lyx
will do the rest of the conversion - i.e. use your converter to convert
the .pygr to an svg and other existing converters to generate the png
for the preview and the pdf / eps / ... for the final copmpilation of
the document.


3. LyX is the one who knows the correct size of the graphic so in
principle if I produce a svg should be enough but in this way I need
to produce a new svg every time the data change


Correct - if the input data changes, you have to generate the graph again
manually, or, if the Converter file cache is disabled, you just have
to close the document and open it again.

Hope this helps,

Rainer

You should use the same encoding for your document and the LyX output 
encoding. A workaround is to use LaTeX markup in the .bib file so that 
it is compatible with any encoding.

Indeed! It can be produced as well, just define a python normal text file 
format type (as pytxt) and in the converter just add from the pytxt format to 
simple text format as python $$i $$o
in the python script you have to output everything to a text file using the 
lines
import sys
outputfile = open(sys.argv[1])
outputfile.write('testing')
outputfile.close

Voilá! it works with text too
Moreover in the converter you can define a csv output format and python handles 
well with csv, so I give you the rod, now fish something ;)

Re: Inserting text (instead of graphics) from code into LyX?

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Better than ever
I've found that the pandas package in python handles with excel files and 
produces tables in csv too, so it can be used to read excel files as input, 
process a little and output csv tables which can be read by LyX as external 
documents (child)

The panorama becomes interesting!

 Hi Paul,
 
 thanks for your help! Yes, there is cygwin install on the computer. I now
 looked for the cygwin directory in system path variable, but there was only
 the miktex path, so I'm not sure if that is the problem or if I looked at
 the wrong variable. This is what's in the path variable:
 
 C:\Windows\system32
 C:\Windows
 C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
 C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
 C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\
 C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Common

 C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAFS\Common
 C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAFS\Client\Program
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Heimdal\bin\
 C:\Program Files\Heimdal\bin\
 
 and these are the paths from LyX:
 
 $LyXDir\bin;
 $LyXDir\Python;
 $LyXDir\Python\Lib;
 $LyXDir\Perl\bin;
 $LyXDir\imagemagick;
 C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\tex\latex;

Hi Paul and everyone!

I found the solution to my problem on the LyX troubleshoot wiki. I had a
problem with an UNC path. Here is a copy of the solution:

LyX does not start and gives the error message: unable to find textclass file

This problem may come into existence if you use LyX on a windows-pc where
your windows/application profile is not stored local but on an UNC path
(i.e. \\Username\Applications\LyX). One solution I have found is the following:

Uninstall LyX from your PC if you have used an installation folder whose
name exists of seperate words like C:\Program Files.
Reinstall LyX and consider, that you use a folder whose name exists of
just one word like C:\Lyx15
Start the Command Prompt in windows (Start - All Programs -
Accessories - Command Prompt)
Change directory to C:\ (type c:)
Type c:/lyx15/python/python.exe c:/lyx15/resources/configure.py in the
Command Prompt and press return
After the configuration has been finished you will find 4 files in the
directory c:\ - configure.log, lyxrc.defaults, textclass.lst and packages.lst
Cut these 4 files and paste them into the \\Username\Application
Data\LyX folder. If a directory for Lyx does not exist create a new one.
Start Lyx 

The problem can arise even if you do not use a UNC path for the windows
profile. In this case steps 5-8 are sufficient and can be carried out using
the default Program Files location.

Sorry for troubling you and again thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Fabian

   Cheers,

 I see, you have to insert them as external files, like they were child
 documents! LyX will try to open them and in the process they will be
 converted

But then it is inserted statically - this is not what I was thinking
about. I guess the approach to use would be to use the external
Material approach - but for this, one would have to define a new type. 

Or is there a way of dynamically linking a non-LyX or LaTeX file into a
LyX document, preferably with preview?

No, no preview in the case of text I fear. It should be implemented in the LyX 
code. Developers should handle this kind of things, if they already support 
image preview, why not supporting external material preview as well? They 
should answer this. TAIK!

Re: How to include child documents in Lyx

 I have asked this question on tex.stackexchange but got no answer so far. I
 am new to LaTeX and LyX. For writing my thesis I got 2 files from
 university: uw_masters_thesis.sty and sample_thesis.tex. The sample file
 contains \usepackage{uw_masters_thesis} in preamble. If I use LaTex I
 simply put both files in same directory and include child documents by
 using \include or \input in the sample_thesis.tex document.
 The embedded objects manual in LyX suggests to specify the Document Class of
 master document in child document. But in my case the document class is Report
 (Standard Class). In my understanding, what uses the style file is the
 \usepackage{uw_masters_thesis} in preamble.
 I am creating thesis chapters (child documents) in lyx without specifying
 any thing in Document Stettings. I want them to use the style provided by
 .sty file and finally include all of them in master document. How can I
 achieve this in Lyx. Please suggest a step by step solution.


It's a little bit tough to provide a step-by-step solution because I'm not
sure you've described your problem completely enough. Nonetheless, I will
make some assumptions and do my best. From the title of your message, you
appear to be asking about how to include child documents in LyX. I will
answer that first, but I don't think that is actually the main problem you
are having. I think the main problem you are having has to do with creating
a layout file for your thesis template.

*How to include child documents in LyX:*
This is described in Section 7.2 of the Embedded Objects manual.
1. Go to insert-File-Child Documents. If you select include, then this
will do the same as the LaTeX \include, and if you choose \input, it will
do the same as the LaTeX \input which you mentioned above.
2. Select the same document class for child documents as the master
document. To do this, go to Document-Settings-Document Class, and select
the appropriate document class.

Please do NOT use your university template when attempting this for the
first time. Use one of the built-in classes, like the default article
class. If you've got that working fine, then the problem does not lie in
the inclusion of child documents, but in the use of your custom class file.
I sense that's your real problem.

*How to get your custom university thesis template to work:*
This has been asked here before, and I will answer specific questions once
you read the previous posts and wiki on how to do that. The wiki page on
this can be found at:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Thesis
One recent post from the mailing list is:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/82099

Good luck, and please check back after trying the above.

If you want to export a single page from a multi-page pdf then one
possibility is to use a .pdf split/merge program such as pdfsam (
http://www.pdfsam.org/ ) or pdftk (
http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ ). I have nothing to do
with either them, I just use those programs sometimes to get just what I
need from a multipage pdf, and it's convenient for me since both are in the
package repositories for my OS. pdfsam has a graphical interface, whereas
pdftk is commandline only as far as I know. This isn't a very elegant or
completely automated solution based on the LyX file which sounds like what
you are really looking for, but it's the best way I am aware of.

I hope this helps.

Did you can see the graphic within LyX? Did LyX display it correctly in your 
system? if not the case check that the example script is located at the same 
path than the lyx file, another way is to click in the inserted graphic and 
look for the example.pygr path

Another possible explanation is that your system doesn't handle with eps, in 
this case you should change the definition and instead of eps, put pdf or png 
as final format, whichever work for you, you can check that because it will 
display the graphic within LyX even before you export anything!

This is is probably the case indeed. This makes sense when the note

I have no idea of where this code lives, though.

Alas, you have confused me now. I'm not sure what to report -- my 
original posting or something else. Since standard is the default 
layout, that is indeed what the inset dissolves to if it contains normal 
text but, having been prompted to try a section heading in a note, it 
dissolves into a section heading (even within a list -- I see that it is 
perfectly possible to put a section heading, numbered, bolded, larger 
type, within a list or sublist or subsublist, and have it indented 
accordingly).

 I have just thought about another possibility: Since the Sage software

 for LyX to make computations in Python in Sage and include the results
 in the final PDF file.  

There are numerous possibilities using converters like this - ranging
From simple scripts (one can also call R like this if one does not need
a single session and only wants to do simple graphs), to calling complex
simulations... whatever produces graphs. Actually not only graphs, also
text, e.g. tables generated should work with the correct export format?

Alex - I think it would be a good idea to add this to the LyX wiki.

Inserting text (instead of graphics) from code into LyX?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

In the thread Python Graphics in LyX it was shown nicely how other
programming languages can be used to include grahics generated by these
into a LyX Document. That made me thinking: How can I do the same for
text files generated by these external code blocks?

Obviously, this depends on the format of the text (ascii, LaTeX,
others?). What would be the workflow? Does the text has to be in a file
(I assume) or could it be redirected directly into LyX?

Somehow I have the feeling I am missing something trivial here...

Cheers,

Rainer

Hi Paul,

thanks for your help! Yes, there is cygwin install on the computer. I now
looked for the cygwin directory in system path variable, but there was only
the miktex path, so I'm not sure if that is the problem or if I looked at
the wrong variable. This is what's in the path variable:

C:\Windows\system32
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\

C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAFS\Common
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAFS\Client\Program
C:\Program Files (x86)\Heimdal\bin\
C:\Program Files\Heimdal\bin\

and these are the paths from LyX:

$LyXDir\bin;
$LyXDir\Python;
$LyXDir\Python\Lib;
$LyXDir\Perl\bin;
$LyXDir\imagemagick;
C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\tex\latex;

Re: Backspacing at the start of an inset occupying a paragraph

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

08/06/2014 22:57, Richard Heck:

I think the reason this happens is that the layout in effect in the
inset becomes the layout in effect in the paragraph, if the inset is the
only thing there. I'm not sure exactly why it works that way, though.


This is is probably the case indeed. This makes sense when the note 
contains a Section environment for example. The behavior should be 
dependent on whether the layout is the default one or not.


I have no idea of where this code lives, though.

I think this deserves a bug report.

The problem is triggered by my .bib entry, which includes a non-ascii character:

  author =   {Wojciech Bruzda and Wojciech Tadej and Karol Życzkowski},

By playing with lyx Document/Settings/Encoding, selecting unicode XeTeX 
(utf-8), 
I seem to be able to export dvi and then convert dvipdf OK.

So is this a good procedure, or is something else recommended here?

Re: [Feature Request] python binding

[Ross Reyes]

Alex,  This did not work for me.

I can run the python script from the command line and it does produce a 
.png output.   So I know the

script is working.

But, in LyX 2.0.1 which I'm using, I get Error converting to loadable 
format.  I am trying to debug it.
Not sure at this point why it does not convert inside LyX.  I double 
checked the file format is defined and

also the converter is defined correctly.

I will try to turn on a log file to see if there are some other 
diagnostic messages.

Subject: Re: [Feature Request] python binding

I just add comments inline


Let's see if I understand:


-1. You define a *file type* in LyX under
 Preferences  File Handling  File Formats
for the file type .pygr in which Vector graphics format is ticked!

0. You define a converter under
 Preferences  File Handling  Converters
which calls a script which executed files with the extension .pygr and
generates, as you suggest below, an svg.


1. I wrote a python script that produces the graphic I want


Exactly - and you give it a specific extension .pygr for python
script which generates a graphic which you defined above.


2. I insert it in LyX somehow I don't know, perhaps defining a
converter from .py to svg, but this needs to be inside a module or
every python script in LyX will try to be converted into a svg!! So a
module is also needed


Use insert graphic and select *your .pygr* file as graphic - and Lyx
will do the rest of the conversion - i.e. use your converter to convert
the .pygr to an svg and other existing converters to generate the png
for the preview and the pdf / eps / ... for the final copmpilation of
the document.


3. LyX is the one who knows the correct size of the graphic so in
principle if I produce a svg should be enough but in this way I need
to produce a new svg every time the data change


Correct - if the input data changes, you have to generate the graph again
manually, or, if the Converter file cache is disabled, you just have
to close the document and open it again.

Hope this helps,

Rainer

You should use the same encoding for your document and the LyX output 
encoding. A workaround is to use LaTeX markup in the .bib file so that 
it is compatible with any encoding.

Indeed! It can be produced as well, just define a python normal text file 
format type (as pytxt) and in the converter just add from the pytxt format to 
simple text format as python $$i $$o
in the python script you have to output everything to a text file using the 
lines
import sys
outputfile = open(sys.argv[1])
outputfile.write('testing')
outputfile.close

Voilá! it works with text too
Moreover in the converter you can define a csv output format and python handles 
well with csv, so I give you the rod, now fish something ;)

Hi Paul and everyone!

I found the solution to my problem on the LyX troubleshoot wiki. I had a
problem with an UNC path. Here is a copy of the solution:

LyX does not start and gives the error message: unable to find textclass file

This problem may come into existence if you use LyX on a windows-pc where
your windows/application profile is not stored local but on an UNC path
(i.e. \\Username\Applications\LyX). One solution I have found is the following:

Uninstall LyX from your PC if you have used an installation folder whose
name exists of seperate words like C:\Program Files.
Reinstall LyX and consider, that you use a folder whose name exists of
just one word like C:\Lyx15
Start the Command Prompt in windows (Start - All Programs -
Accessories - Command Prompt)
Change directory to C:\ (type c:)
Type c:/lyx15/python/python.exe c:/lyx15/resources/configure.py in the
Command Prompt and press return
After the configuration has been finished you will find 4 files in the
directory c:\ - configure.log, lyxrc.defaults, textclass.lst and packages.lst
Cut these 4 files and paste them into the \\Username\Application
Data\LyX folder. If a directory for Lyx does not exist create a new one.
Start Lyx 

The problem can arise even if you do not use a UNC path for the windows
profile. In this case steps 5-8 are sufficient and can be carried out using
the default Program Files location.

Sorry for troubling you and again thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Fabian

 I see, you have to insert them as external files, like they were child
 documents! LyX will try to open them and in the process they will be
 converted

But then it is inserted statically - this is not what I was thinking
about. I guess the approach to use would be to use the external
Material approach - but for this, one would have to define a new type. 

Or is there a way of dynamically linking a non-LyX or LaTeX file into a
LyX document, preferably with preview?

Cheers,

Rainer

No, no preview in the case of text I fear. It should be implemented in the LyX 
code. Developers should handle this kind of things, if they already support 
image preview, why not supporting external material preview as well? They 
should answer this. TAIK!

pick out all graphics from a lyx file?

Anyone know an easy way to pick out all the pdfs that are included in my lyx

Before you answer, some are multipage pdfs, and are included using page=option.
I want to just pick the correct pages of those.

Re: How to include child documents in Lyx

 I have asked this question on tex.stackexchange but got no answer so far. I
 am new to LaTeX and LyX. For writing my thesis I got 2 files from
 university: uw_masters_thesis.sty and sample_thesis.tex. The sample file
 contains \usepackage{uw_masters_thesis} in preamble. If I use LaTex I
 simply put both files in same directory and include child documents by
 using \include or \input in the sample_thesis.tex document.
 The embedded objects manual in LyX suggests to specify the Document Class of
 master document in child document. But in my case the document class is Report
 (Standard Class). In my understanding, what uses the style file is the
 \usepackage{uw_masters_thesis} in preamble.
 I am creating thesis chapters (child documents) in lyx without specifying
 any thing in Document Stettings. I want them to use the style provided by
 .sty file and finally include all of them in master document. How can I
 achieve this in Lyx. Please suggest a step by step solution.


It's a little bit tough to provide a step-by-step solution because I'm not
sure you've described your problem completely enough. Nonetheless, I will
make some assumptions and do my best. From the title of your message, you
appear to be asking about how to include child documents in LyX. I will
answer that first, but I don't think that is actually the main problem you
are having. I think the main problem you are having has to do with creating
a layout file for your thesis template.

*How to include child documents in LyX:*
This is described in Section 7.2 of the Embedded Objects manual.
1. Go to insert-File-Child Documents. If you select include, then this
will do the same as the LaTeX \include, and if you choose \input, it will
do the same as the LaTeX \input which you mentioned above.
2. Select the same document class for child documents as the master
document. To do this, go to Document-Settings-Document Class, and select
the appropriate document class.

Please do NOT use your university template when attempting this for the
first time. Use one of the built-in classes, like the default article
class. If you've got that working fine, then the problem does not lie in
the inclusion of child documents, but in the use of your custom class file.
I sense that's your real problem.

*How to get your custom university thesis template to work:*
This has been asked here before, and I will answer specific questions once
you read the previous posts and wiki on how to do that. The wiki page on
this can be found at:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Thesis
One recent post from the mailing list is:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/82099

Good luck, and please check back after trying the above.

If you want to export a single page from a multi-page pdf then one
possibility is to use a .pdf split/merge program such as pdfsam (
http://www.pdfsam.org/ ) or pdftk (
http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ ). I have nothing to do
with either them, I just use those programs sometimes to get just what I
need from a multipage pdf, and it's convenient for me since both are in the
package repositories for my OS. pdfsam has a graphical interface, whereas
pdftk is commandline only as far as I know. This isn't a very elegant or
completely automated solution based on the LyX file which sounds like what
you are really looking for, but it's the best way I am aware of.

I hope this helps.

Did you can see the graphic within LyX? Did LyX display it correctly in your 
system? if not the case check that the example script is located at the same 
path than the lyx file, another way is to click in the inserted graphic and 
look for the example.pygr path

Another possible explanation is that your system doesn't handle with eps, in 
this case you should change the definition and instead of eps, put pdf or png 
as final format, whichever work for you, you can check that because it will 
display the graphic within LyX even before you export anything!

Alas, you have confused me now. I'm not sure what to report -- my 
original posting or something else. Since standard is the default 
layout, that is indeed what the inset dissolves to if it contains normal 
text but, having been prompted to try a section heading in a note, it 
dissolves into a section heading (even within a list -- I see that it is 
perfectly possible to put a section heading, numbered, bolded, larger 
type, within a list or sublist or subsublist, and have it indented 
accordingly).

There are numerous possibilities using converters like this - ranging
From simple scripts (one can also call R like this if one does not need
a single session and only wants to do simple graphs), to calling complex
simulations... whatever produces graphs. Actually not only graphs, also
text, e.g. tables generated should work with the correct export format?

Inserting text (instead of graphics) from code into LyX?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

In the thread "Python Graphics in LyX" it was shown nicely how other
programming languages can be used to include grahics generated by these
into a LyX Document. That made me thinking: How can I do the same for
text files generated by these external code blocks?

Obviously, this depends on the format of the text (ascii, LaTeX,
others?). What would be the workflow? Does the text has to be in a file
(I assume) or could it be redirected directly into LyX?

Somehow I have the feeling I am missing something trivial here...

Cheers,

Rainer

Hi Paul,

thanks for your help! Yes, there is cygwin install on the computer. I now
looked for the cygwin directory in system path variable, but there was only
the miktex path, so I'm not sure if that is the problem or if I looked at
the wrong variable. This is what's in the path variable:

C:\Windows\system32
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\

C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAFS\Common
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAFS\Client\Program
C:\Program Files (x86)\Heimdal\bin\
C:\Program Files\Heimdal\bin\

and these are the paths from LyX:

$LyXDir\bin;
$LyXDir\Python;
$LyXDir\Python\Lib;
$LyXDir\Perl\bin;
$LyXDir\imagemagick;
C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\tex\latex;

The problem is triggered by my .bib entry, which includes a non-ascii character:

By playing with lyx Document/Settings/Encoding, selecting unicode XeTeX 
(utf-8), 
I seem to be able to export dvi and then convert dvipdf OK.

So is this a "good" procedure, or is something else recommended here?

Re: [Feature Request] python binding

[Ross Reyes]

Alex,  This did not work for me.

I can run the python script from the command line and it does produce a 
.png output.   So I know the

script is working.

But, in LyX 2.0.1 which I'm using, I get "Error converting to loadable 
format".  I am trying to debug it.
Not sure at this point why it does not convert inside LyX.  I double 
checked the file format is defined and

also the converter is defined correctly.

I will try to turn on a log file to see if there are some other 
diagnostic messages.

I just add comments inline


Let's see if I understand:


-1. You define a *file type* in LyX under
 Preferences > File Handling > File Formats
for the file type .pygr in which "Vector graphics format" is ticked!

0. You define a converter under
 Preferences > File Handling > Converters
which calls a script which executed files with the extension .pygr and
generates, as you suggest below, an svg.


1. I wrote a python script that produces the graphic I want


Exactly - and you give it a specific extension .pygr for "python
script which generates a graphic" which you defined above.


2. I insert it in LyX somehow I don't know, perhaps defining a
converter from .py to svg, but this needs to be inside a module or
every python script in LyX will try to be converted into a svg!! So a
module is also needed


Use insert graphic and select *your .pygr* file as graphic - and Lyx
will do the rest of the conversion - i.e. use your converter to convert
the .pygr to an svg and other existing converters to generate the png
for the preview and the pdf / eps / ... for the final copmpilation of
the document.


3. LyX is the one who knows the correct size of the graphic so in
principle if I produce a svg should be enough but in this way I need
to produce a new svg every time the data change


Correct - if the input data changes, you have to generate the graph again
manually, or, if the "Converter file cache" is disabled, you just have
to close the document and open it again.

Hope this helps,

Rainer

You should use the same encoding for your document and the LyX output 
encoding. A workaround is to use LaTeX markup in the .bib file so that 
it is compatible with any encoding.

  Hi

  In the thread "Python Graphics in LyX" it was shown nicely how other

  text files generated by these external code blocks?

  Obviously, this depends on the format of the text (ascii, LaTeX,

Indeed! It can be produced as well, just define a python normal text file 
format type (as pytxt) and in the converter just add from the pytxt format to 
simple text format as python $$i $$o
in the python script you have to output everything to a text file using the 
lines
import sys
outputfile = open(sys.argv[1])
outputfile.write('testing')
outputfile.close

Voilá! it works with text too
Moreover in the converter you can define a csv output format and python handles 
well with csv, so I give you the rod, now fish something ;)

As I said - I have missed something trivial.

Suggestion: could you add these cases to your document about graphs from
Python? Especially the csv might be very useful.

Re: Inserting text (instead of graphics) from code into LyX?

Better than ever
I've found that the pandas package in python handles with excel files and 
produces tables in csv too, so it can be used to read excel files as input, 
process a little and output csv tables which can be read by LyX as external 
documents (child)

The panorama becomes interesting!

Hi Paul and everyone!

I found the solution to my problem on the LyX troubleshoot wiki. I had a
problem with an UNC path. Here is a copy of the solution:

LyX does not start and gives the error message: unable to find textclass file

This problem may come into existence if you use LyX on a windows-pc where
your windows/application profile is not stored local but on an UNC path
(i.e. \\Username\Applications\LyX). One solution I have found is the following:

Uninstall LyX from your PC if you have used an installation folder whose
name exists of seperate words like C:\Program Files.
Reinstall LyX and consider, that you use a folder whose name exists of
just one word like C:\Lyx15
Start the Command Prompt in windows (Start -> All Programs ->
Accessories -> Command Prompt)
Change directory to C:\ (type c:)
Type "c:/lyx15/python/python.exe c:/lyx15/resources/configure.py" in the
Command Prompt and press "return"
After the configuration has been finished you will find 4 files in the
directory c:\ -> configure.log, lyxrc.defaults, textclass.lst and packages.lst
Cut these 4 files and paste them into the \\Username\Application
Data\LyX folder. If a directory for Lyx does not exist create a new one.
Start Lyx 

The problem can arise even if you do not use a UNC path for the windows
profile. In this case steps 5-8 are sufficient and can be carried out using
the default Program Files location.

Sorry for troubling you and again thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Fabian

But then it is inserted statically - this is not what I was thinking
about. I guess the approach to use would be to use the "external
Material" approach - but for this, one would have to define a new type. 

Or is there a way of dynamically linking a non-LyX or LaTeX file into a
LyX document, preferably with preview?

Rainer

OK - spreadsheets work via the "external documents". But have you found
a way of including "normal" txt files as verbatim? One could always use
good old ert
(e.g. http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=verbfile)

But this would not provide preview.

No, no preview in the case of text I fear. It should be implemented in the LyX 
code. Developers should handle this kind of things, if they already support 
image preview, why not supporting external material preview as well? They 
should answer this. TAIK!

It's a little bit tough to provide a step-by-step solution because I'm not
sure you've described your problem completely enough. Nonetheless, I will
make some assumptions and do my best. From the title of your message, you
appear to be asking about how to include child documents in LyX. I will
answer that first, but I don't think that is actually the main problem you
are having. I think the main problem you are having has to do with creating
a layout file for your thesis template.

*How to include child documents in LyX:*
This is described in Section 7.2 of the Embedded Objects manual.
1. Go to insert->File->Child Documents. If you select "include", then this
will do the same as the LaTeX \include, and if you choose \input, it will
do the same as the LaTeX \input which you mentioned above.
2. Select the same document class for child documents as the master
document. To do this, go to Document->Settings->Document Class, and select
the appropriate document class.

Please do NOT use your university template when attempting this for the
first time. Use one of the built-in classes, like the default article
class. If you've got that working fine, then the problem does not lie in
the inclusion of child documents, but in the use of your custom class file.
I sense that's your real problem.

This has been asked here before, and I will answer specific questions once
you read the previous posts and wiki on how to do that. The wiki page on

Good luck, and please check back after trying the above.

I have one additional reference, and a correction to what I wrote
previously. The above link to the wiki is a list of example thesis
templates, not how to create one. The link for how to create a custom
layout from an existing style file is:

If you want to export a single page from a multi-page pdf then one
possibility is to use a .pdf split/merge program such as pdfsam (
http://www.pdfsam.org/ ) or pdftk (
http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ ). I have nothing to do
with either them, I just use those programs sometimes to get just what I
need from a multipage pdf, and it's convenient for me since both are in the
package repositories for my OS. pdfsam has a graphical interface, whereas
pdftk is commandline only as far as I know. This isn't a very elegant or
completely automated solution based on the LyX file which sounds like what
you are really looking for, but it's the best way I am aware of.

I hope this helps.

Dear all

I have rewritten a little the procedure using recommendations from several 
users that doesn´t understand the original one. I hope this time everyone can 
understand the procedure.

   shouldn't it load example.pygr, which I selected in my folder PhytonGraphics

  Define a new converter from Python graphics to EPS as

  python $$i $$o

  Wolfgang


   If you have followed the little manual you know in tools - preferences 
there is two options, one that says file types and the other says converters
   in the first you define the Python graphics file type
   in the second you define the converter

   regards
   Alex



   Thanks Alex, still not there.



   First: Could one change in the instruction of the PythonGraphics.lyx
   Define a new file format, name it Python graphics, extension pygr and 
vector image format ticked
   to: Define a new file format in tools>preferences, name it Python 
graphics, extension pygr and vector image format ticked



   Second: in Converters - Converter Definitions I guess I have to add 
python $$i $$o in the Converter: line. However, Add on the right side of the 
Converter Definitions is greyed out. So, how do I do that?

Did you can see the graphic within LyX? Did LyX display it correctly in your 
system? if not the case check that the example script is located at the same 
path than the lyx file, another way is to click in the inserted graphic and 
look for the example.pygr path

Another possible explanation is that your system doesn't handle with eps, in 
this case you should change the definition and instead of eps, put pdf or png 
as final format, whichever work for you, you can check that because it will 
display the graphic within LyX even before you export anything!

Oh, then (on Linux) I would recommend:
PDF Mod: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/PdfMod
PDF Chain: http://pdfchain.sourceforge.net/
PDF-Shuffler: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfshuffler/

Either of these would allow to extract individual pages from a PDF.

Re: Backspacing at the start of an inset occupying a paragraph

I think the reason this happens is that the layout in effect in the

This is is probably the case indeed. This makes sense when the note 
contains a Section environment for example. The behavior should be 
dependent on whether the layout is the default one or not.


I have no idea of where this code lives, though.

I think this deserves a bug report.

Alas, you have confused me now. I'm not sure what to report -- my 
original posting or something else. Since standard is the default 
layout, that is indeed what the inset dissolves to if it contains normal 
text but, having been prompted to try a section heading in a note, it 
dissolves into a section heading (even within a list -- I see that it is 
perfectly possible to put a section heading, numbered, bolded, larger 
type, within a list or sublist or subsublist, and have it indented 
accordingly).
