Re: Augmented like matrix

[curtis osterhoudt]

Hi, Semih,

   I wasn't able to do this in pure LyX, but if you insert some ERT (ctrl-L) 
and put the following into it, you may get what you want:

$\left[
\begin{array}{cl|c} 
K_{aa}  K_{ai}  0 \\
K_{ia}  K_{ii}  K_{ib} \\ 
\hline 
0  K_{bi}  K_{bb} 
\end{array}  
\right] 
= 
\left[
\begin{array}{c|c} 
K_{mm}  K_{ms} \\ 
\hline
K_{sm}  K_{ss}
\end{array}
\right] $

Perhaps that will help for the time-being.  Note that the vertical 
lines are controlled by the {cl|c} and {c|c} statements right after the 
\begin{array} parts. 

  Cheers, 
   C.O.

XFig and LyX (Was: Re: Is PDF the best graphic format for LyX?)

[curtis osterhoudt]

Dear all, 

   I have just (within the last week or so, using the 2.0.0 svn development 
code, which I've kept up with and compiled) started having problems using XFig 
figures within LyX. 

Previously (and the mechanism is still there), to insert an XFig figure, I'd 
use the external material insert, and choose the xfig type. Currently, if I 
do that, the preview will no longer show up in LyX, and upon trying to compile 
the document, a message complaining of a missing figure will show up, with a 
mangled path to the file. *However*, quite by accident, I found that inserting 
the XFig file as a regular graphic (such as a .jpeg or .pdf) now seems to work. 

Is this going to be a long-term change to the code? It'll certainly make things 
more consistent to my mind, so long as the documentation is fixed, too.

The problem with bitmaps is that screens have different resolutions, and even a

good printers have much better resolution than that.

So, a jpeg that looks good printed on a photosetter or something will have to

Re: LyX - cross platform core toolkit for scientific and technical writing?

For me it's Mathematica (decidedly *not* free or open-source!) and XFig. Two of

LyX is a GUI front end to LaTeX I fail to see how there's anything evil

  More to the point, looking at how many requests for help in formatting

can be off-putting to those new to the tools as well as being highly
inappropriate.

  I'm asking that the term be retired. Better yet, killed and buried deep.

Re: web searchjabreflyx

[curtis osterhoudt]

Indeed. The way that Jabref imports the reference is to put curly-braces around 
each of the fields, {}, so that BiBTeX isn't allowed to parse them at all. So 
far as I know, whatever reference style is chosen, it will not be any different 
than what Wolfgang got. 

   It looks to me as either a problem with the original reference, or a problem 
in the way JabRef imported this particular one. In either case, you'll have to 
somehow remove those curly braces, to let BiBTeX do its job.

 I'd just leave it that way. Some reference formats might require the
 full name, and BibTeX will give you the abbreviated version if your
 BibTeX style calls for it.

see below

  I save the entered reference in JabRef by control s

  The citation is giving troubles when trying to export the LyX file,

  many authors and prone to introduce errors

 What errors?

Re: web searchjabreflyx

Indeed. The way that Jabref imports the reference is to put curly-braces around 
each of the fields, {}, so that BiBTeX isn't allowed to parse them at all. So 
far as I know, whatever reference style is chosen, it will not be any different 
than what Wolfgang got. 

   It looks to me as either a problem with the original reference, or a problem 
in the way JabRef imported this particular one. In either case, you'll have to 
somehow remove those curly braces, to let BiBTeX do its job.

OK, I think I got it to work.  I did a bunch of things (mostly uninformed),
and some combination of them seems to have worked, but I'm guessing these
were the three key steps:
1. I installed the polynom package and put it in my LaTeX directory:
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex.  I probably could have put it
somewhere else in my path; I'm not sure.
2. In LyX, I did Tools -- Reconfigure
3. In my document, I did Document -- Settings -- LaTeX preamble, and added
the following, which I more or less copied from some LyX help files:
% 
% used to check for needed LaTeX packages
\usepackage{ifthen}

% check for package polynom
\newboolean{polynom}
\IfFileExists{polynom.sty}
{\usepackage{polynom}
  \setboolean{polynom}{true}}
{\setboolean{polynom}{false}}

Then, in my document, I can click Insert -- TeX Code (or Control-L, or
click on the TeX button), and enter the TeX code for polynomial division,
e.g. \polylongdiv{x^3-7x+6}{x-1}.  Then when I compile the document (e.g.
click the PDF button), the division is beautifully formatted.

If you're OK with using $\textdegree$ (some people complain about its

scaling xfig previews

[curtis osterhoudt]

Hi, LyXers, 

   I've noticed that in the 1.6.0svn versions (for example, today's revision 
26278), the External Material dialog (when inserting a figure, e.g.) gives the 
tab LaTeX and LyX Options. In this tab, there is the Show in LyX and 
resultant Scale on Screen option, where I usually have a scale less than 100% 
chosen. However, in the recent builds, this scale doesn't seem to do anything 
(everything shows up at 100%). Is there something I can change to enable the 
actual scaling?

   Thanks,

Re: Any words of wisdom switching from 1.4.2 to 1.5.6?

[curtis osterhoudt]

This doesn't answer the original question, nor directly apply to the response 
below it. However, I'd just like to state that  I've been getting the 1.6 
development version via svn every couple of days, and compiling it on linux. 
It's wonderful thus far: no crashes; nice interface; wonderful new 
capabilities, such as the split-screen thing and view of the LaTeX source at 
the same time. I think it'll be a fabulous release, and is, in my opinion, 
probably deserving of a 2.0 version number.

LyX-1.6 will have the ctrl-mouse-wheel feature, just like Fierefox. I

Re: +/- in a table too large

[curtis osterhoudt]

I can't reproduce that (just tried 1.6.0alpha2 on Windows XP), as the table 
spacing looks fine. 

  One way you might be able to work around it is using a \nicefrac{+}{-} 
instead of \pm. I personally don't prefer \nicefrac in this case, but it might 
work.

Re: Tex capacity exceeded

[curtis osterhoudt]

Paul's suggestion is certainly worthy of a try. However, sometimes the problem 
is a problem of the whole, rather than of the sum of the parts. I mean this: 
When I was finishing up my thesis, I ran into various TeX capacity problems, 
none of which would occur when each chapter (appendix, etc.) was compiled 
separately, nor when all but one were put together. It didn't matter which I 
removed, the result would compile, but all together wouldn't. Taking out the 
TOC, too, fixed things, or the bibliography, or the index.
   I ended up concluding that I was running into some problem with the sum of 
the TOC + chapters + reference list(s) + appendices + index, and only fixed it 
by collecting at least two of my main chapters into a single appendix. It 
wasn't ideal, but I could find no other way around the problem.

   I hear that there are a few TeX replacements (or modern versions) which 
don't have these esoteric limits to them, but don't know of their status. Does 
anyone have suggestions of some systems I could research?

   C.O.




===

If that's not the source of the memory problem, you might try a 
divide-and-conquer approach.  Chop out pieces of the thesis until you 
get something that compiles, then put things back until you either 
identify a maximum amount of the document that compiles or identify one 
particular piece that's at fault (meaning the entire document minus that 
piece compiles, and that piece by itself does not).  If it's the latter 
case, use divide-and-conquer within just that piece to find the culprit.

Dear lyxers

I am starting a document project with a colleague using lyx. The goal is to
obtain a big document of a technical course. My colleague uses the windows
version of lyx and I use the linux version. At this initial stage we can easily
share simple documents.  Now we are concerned with the use of a common vector
drawing program that can be used at both platforms. The main feature that we
require is that the vector drawing program can annotate drawings with latex math
formulae. I am quite satisfied with the current support of xfig at lyx using
external material. However, as far as I know, xfig only runs at linux machines
therefore we are looking for an alternative program. Could anybody care to give
us some recommendation? Any advice related to other aspects of such a project
are also welcome.

Thank you very much for all your help

Re: Templates for the new website

[curtis osterhoudt]

I like all of the page templates. My *least* favorite is Black Box, because 
the text seems hard to read (gray on a black background?) and I keep peering at 
the page to see if there are images hidden in the background.

   http://www.lyx.org/test/index.php/Main/HomePage is really quite attractive 
(perhaps the other templates would be equally or moreso, once LyX-specific 
content is put on).

Subject: Templates for the new website

Thanks for the feedback on the site, everyone!

Here are some templates our designer Andrei picked out as possibilities 
for the new website. What do you guys like most out of these (and the 
current one on the site)?

Bright Pixel: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/3021
Black Box: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/3106
Flowered: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2864
Nautica: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2828

We can probably make some modifications if there's a small thing people 
don't like about a particular design.

If you see something on http://www.oswd.org/ (Open Source Web Design) 
that you like, feel free to suggest that one.

Re: Name of the Mascot (Was: New splash screen (Was: LyX logo))

I don't see that LyXia engenders oral thoughts, though I'd be more strongly 
inclined to give the program a try if it did! Besides, would this mean that 
Word users suffer from dysLyXia?

Lyxia sounds oddly oral as in cunnilingus. Lydia sounds like a cross

``The LyX'' sounds like one is entering a Rave or a Comedy Club.

Lydia would work if it's actually an Acronym for this LaTeX WYSIWYM

Re: okay, can't resist one more bit of feedback

Hi, Bill, 

It appears that  your MiKTeX installation didn't go through, or was 
interrupted, possibly because internet connectrivity was lost or something. Can 
you successfully use MiKTeX on that computer? If so, I'm probably wrong. 

I've had no problems with LyX on either linux (Ubuntu should be able to 
apt-get install LyX, with all needed packages pulled in) or Windows (at least 
try a Reconfigure after installing on Windows). 

Have you seen this:

Yes, it's me again, the same guy who couldn't get lyx to work in Ubuntu 7.10.  
Just downloaded and installed what is supposed to be a COMPLETE operative 
LyX/LaTeX/Tex system in windows (from your download page--vers. 1.5.4).  It 
also DOESN'T WORK!

After the installation, I clicked the desktop shortcut.  Nothing happened for 
such a long time I was beginning to think nothing would ever happen and that 
the program was just broken.  It took 50 sec. to start, with no indication in 
the meantime that anything was happening.

It's running now.  Apparently it eats up so much of the system resources (in 
WinXP, 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4, 1 GB of RAM) that my system has been dragged 
down to almost a complete halt!  I've never seen things move this slowly 
before, EVEN IN WINDOWS!

Finally, just as was the case in Linux, it WILL NOT EVEN PRINT ITS OWN 
DOCUMENTATION!  That is just flat out RETARDED.  I spent a good bit of last 
night installing every Latex doodad I could get my hands on in Linux.  Nothing 
helped.  Hence, my trial in Windows this afternoon.  Got exactly the same error 
message.  (Attached)

I don't buy the blame-it-on-the-OS mentality that a lot of of software 
programmers seem to have these days (e.g., broken GIMP on Mac OS X 10.5).  If 
the software doesn't work, it just DOESN'T WORK!  (Btw, the Latex Configuration 
item under Help wouldn't open at all, so couldn't check that either to see what 
might be broken.)

Thank you for your time.  I'm wiping this crap off both my HDs now!

helped.  Hence, my trial in Windows this afternoon.  Got exactly the same error 
message.  (Attached)

I don't buy the blame-it-on-the-OS mentality that a lot of of software 
programmers seem to have these days (e.g., broken GIMP on Mac OS X 10.5).  If 
the software doesn't work, it just DOESN'T WORK!  (Btw, the Latex Configuration 
item under Help wouldn't open at all, so couldn't check that either to see what 
might be broken.)

Thank you for your time.  I'm wiping this crap off both my HDs now!

Re: odd mistake

[curtis osterhoudt]

The divide-and-conquer method almost always works well... except when you get 
into large documents, where interactions between different packages cause 
problems if *both* sections are around, or if *many* sections are around (such 
as the no room for a new \write error). I ran into that one when working on 
my dissertation; I finally fixed it by consolidating some parts which _should_ 
have been separate chapters into one chapter. 

Of course, as far as I can tell, that can be a fundamental limitation to TeX.

Hi!

Sometimes I get some errors for which I do not exactly know where is the 
source. I use then a pragmatic approach to the problem: divide 
and conquer. That is, I remove part of the document (e.g. put it inside a Note) 
and compile. If everything is ok, I know the problem is 
within the removed part. I gradually remove less and less text, until I find 
the source of the error.

Good luck!

Re: [OT] Best KDE-centric Distribution?

[curtis osterhoudt]

I'm using sidux (based on Debian unstable) and have been since it branched off 
of Kanotix. It's easily stable enough for my everyday use, and yet things like 
the latest LyX are available quite quickly from repositories (and there's 
nothing stopping one from downloading and installing from the latest 
development snapshots). The Debian LyX maintainer generally gets versions out 
to the repositories within a week of a new release. I started out using 
Mandrake for my linux, then moved to Mepis and SUSE (and have tried the BSDs 
and source-oriented distros such as SourceMage and Gentoo), and have pretty 
much settled on Debian for its stability and huge package selection.

If I understand you correctly, changing (or adding, if not present) the line 
 \preview_scale_factor
in the preferences file in your ~/.lyx directory to have another value (mine

 presumes you have the tools package, but I think that's a standard part
 of all LaTeX distros.)  At the end of the text on what will be page 85,
 put \afterpage{\thispagestyle{empty}} in ERT just before the page break.
   I think that will do it for you.

Hi paul,  I tried that but it still isnt working...  I didnt get any errors
so I assume I have the package.  Is there anything else that I can try?
Another possibility that I wouldnt mind is to make a separate file somehow
that has my bib in it and removing the first page there.  I am turning in a
hard copy, not a digital one, so any way to get that first page of my bib
un-numbered will work...
Thanks again for all the help



 original message above =



When I wrote my thesis, I was required to have page numbers on EVERY
page except the first couple. So I can't help you with a nice technical
hack. However, I did have to resort (for various reasons) to a very
low-tech kludge. If you're desperate for a just-good-enough solution,
you might try simply printing the page as-is, page number and all. Then
take a nice sharp knife blade or razor, and carefully scrape away the
ink. One of the professors in my department also swore that a
high-powered, pulsed infrared laser will blow the ink off the paper,
but not damage the paper itself (this is something I didn't try,
though). 



In any case, I was able to sneak a couple of wrongly-numbered pages
by the hard-copy examiner using the trick. When it comes down to the
wire, you might do the same. 



Best of luck!

Re: a little help with enumerate

[curtis osterhoudt]

Dear LyXers,

   I was delighted to find the other day that I can put math-moded symbols in 
my index tags, and that they'll be typeset into a Symbols section at the 
start of my index. Unfortunately, this is not working any more for me, despite 
not changing my preamble in any way. 

   Details: 
I have a master LyX document containing several other child LyX documents. Each 
of these contains multiple index entries. One of them contains index entries 
with math-mode (for example, $\omega_0$) entered into the index box. Strangely, 
when I typeset THAT single document by itself, with an index in it (it has only 
\input{preamble} --- referring to the same .tex file containing the preamble of 
the master document --- in its preamble), the symbols typeset fine, and are 
included in the document's index.
   However, when I typeset the ENTIRE document, it fails, with the message  
\item $\omega_0$, \hyperpage{179} and the usual I've inserted a 
begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out message. The page 
179 is about where the symbol would appear in the full, properly typeset 
document, so I suspect it's something to do with the hyperref package, which 
has never given me problems before.
   
If I remove the offending index entry, things work fine... for a while. 
Recently, as a test, I removed all of the index entries containing math-mode in 
that chapter, and the whole document typeset correctly several times. Just now, 
though, I tried to compile the .pdf again, and a math-mode entry ( $s_n$ ) in 
another chapter (which I had actually forgotten about because it wasn't an 
issue) caused problems. 
   Incidentally, it's not just subscripted index entries --- even plain Greek 
(e.g. $\gamma$) entries are now causing errors.

   It seems my working index entries are slowly being eaten away!

I've reconfigured LyX and run texhash. Is there anything else I can try?

The problem must be connected with the multiple bib files. You should use
chapterbib or bibtopic.

Hi, all. Thanks for the replies (and the private emails). 


I think Charles is right. Unfortunately, I had already been using
\chapterbib with this document (along with Juergen's bibtexall
script). 
The bibtopic suggestion is a good one, though I'd
been wanting to avoid having to split up my .bib file into smaller ones
for each chapter. 

Here are the combinations I've tried (forgive my makeshift table formatting!):

hyperref   chapterbib   bibtopic (preamble)   LyX' sectioned bibliography 
results
 yesyes  
  nono   No room 
for a new \write error
 yesnono
   no   No room for a new \write error
 yesno  no  
 yes   Two no room errors, and load bibtopic after hyperref 
error   ... I now move the \usepackage{hyperref} to as close to the preamble 
start as I can, and...
 yesno   no 
 yes   load bibtopic after hyperref error
 yes no  yes
 nofirst run: LOTS of undef. contrl. seq. errors 
involving \hyperpage as I cross-reference a lot
 yes no  yes
 no   document compiles correctly, but there are no 
bibliographies in it!
 
   
At this point, I think my best immediate option is to combine two of my 
appendices into one (they're vaguely related), and use chapterbib. That way, 
their reference lists are combined into one, and  the whole thing compiles 
correctly (I've tried it).
Thanks to the people on this list for their help! If I ever get this 
conclusively sorted out, I'll pass it along.
