Re: SV: Many huge pictures - Memory problems?
On 02/11/2012 01:36 PM, Peter Baumgartner wrote: Ingar, Thanks for your answer. You mentioned that you had no problems with very huge pictures. Perhaps it has to do with the kind of compilation? I compile with pdflatex. I often get errors in trying to compile a file with pdflatex if I have graphics in it, but typically the problem is with postscript files, for which it has trouble finding sizes. It will typically work fine with ps2pdf. It is certainly worth a try. I can't imagine that there would be a formatting difference between the two methods of export. -- David L.

Try, within an aligned environment, entering a standard inline math
environment. This will give you a blue rectangle, and if you type
something there, it will be in standard Roman text. It is a \text{}
environment. Alternately, heck, you can type \text and hit the Enter
key; you will then be in the text environment you want, but I have
enter an inline math environment linked to F10, so I just hit F10.
You can leave that environment by moving the cursor.

I have never played with multiple column documents, but you have at
least Document Settings Page layout Two sided document and
Orientation Landscape. Look in the modules and on the wiki on how
LaTeX allows several columns on one page.
Two-sided will not give you multiple columns. It changes the default
margins and placement of page numbers so the document can be printed up
double-sided, bound on the left, and have the page numbers and margins
appropriately arranged.
What you want is the multicolumn package. I do this with ERT, but
perhaps it could be added to LyX -- although I don't think you would
want to display it that way within LyX; it'd be a mess with the margins.
There is a setting within LyX to set the entire document as a two
column document, in Document Settings Text Layout, but I use the
ERT to set parts of the document as multi-column, and this way you can
set up as many columns as you want.
Add \usepackage{multicol} to your preamble. Then, when you want to turn
on multi-column (3 column in this case) text, enter
\begin{multicols}{3} in ERT, and then \end{multicols} to return to
single-column layout.

Certainly. You can use Ctrl-m to enter math-mode, then \int (no need to
use the $'s) will get you an integral sign. Or, you can bind enter
math mode to a function key (I use f10).
Also for environments like \begin{enumerate}...\end{enumerate},
\begin{align*}...\end{align*}, etc ..
Again, there are built-in shortcuts, or you can assign keys to the ones
you use most often.
