beamposter

2019-08-05 Thread Patrick Dupre
Hello,

I used to use lyx for my presentations.
Now, I want to make a poster (either on A0, or divided in A4 or A3 sheets).
When I move to documentclass to Beamposter, my text size has been divided by?
maybe 16!
I tried to play with the scale of
\usepackage[orientation=landscape,scale=0.125]{}
It does not help.

How can I keep my presentation layout, and obtain a poster
(possibly in pieces), by only playing with the setting?

Thank.

Thank,

 

Now, it works like you said. But before (i.e. I close and restart the editor), it wasnot working that

way. It was just impossible to edit the preamble without doing Edit!

 

Bizarre.

Is it because I installed a new package?

If you do not click the edit button (or do and then click end-edit), you can still use the "old" method (insert cursor in preamble and type/delete/copy/paste/...).

I'm not sure what the Edit button is for, but I suspect it's to do things like search-and-replace that the LyX interface does not directly support.

I know. But still, if A4 is selected in LyX and memoir outputs US
letter, that's simply plain wrong. We can do better.

I doubt if accounting for Memoir's idiosyncracies is practical. The
Memoir class allows fine tuning of numerous parameters that LyX doesn't
even know about. It's not just page format, its:
\setstocksize
\settrimmedsize
\settrims
\settypeblocksize
\setlrmargins
\setlength{\marginparwidth}
\pagestyle
\chapterstyle
and many other parameters I've never used.

If you're not prepared to read the 609 page Memoir manual (memman.pdf)
you really shouldn't try to use Memoir.

If you do read it, and understand it, you will view page layout in a
completely new way.

I have used memoir extensively for years, and I'm still learning how to
improve page layout. If you want good page layout that is nearly what
you need, use KOMA-script Book. If you want an exact page layout, use
Memoir, but be prepared to learn how to do it.

Yes, memoir overrides geometry (which is used for the custom margins).
However, we could account for that in LyX. See
