Re: wish for LyX 1.2 and pdf

2001-02-03 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi


I carefully read all the threads about pdf, acroread, fonts and so on.
I don't think that disabling bitmap font support is the best solution.

However I also think that:

What does an "average-stupid" user as I am ask for? A decent pdf file from my 
thesis. And It is very likely that my "average-stupid" professor will open 
the pdf document with Acroread.

So for my basical need LyX should give me a working, practical and quick 
solution without any interaction, strange questions and LaTeX commands: that 
is, far-from-optimised but useful pdf, html, rtf documents from my lyx thesis.

A LyX-LaTeX power user asks for optimisation: no problem! LyX offers this 
already, I suppose.

Thank you, Emanuele Gissi

Space in indexes between numbers and titles

2000-11-06 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi

Hi,

I have got a little problem: at the end of my document both chapter numbers and
figure numbers have 2 digits, as in chapter 15 figure 37. In the "List of
figures" the figure captions almost overlap their numbers (example 15.37).
I attach the PS file to better explain the result.
How to convince the caption to leave some more place to the 4 digits?

Thanks a lot, Emanuele.

 You could use the tocloft package to fix this.

I just put \usepackage{tocloft} in the preamble.
No, it does not seem to work in my case or I am
not able to make it working. I use the book (koma-script) class...

Re: Feature suggestion: figure float auto labelled

2000-11-05 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi

  One idea: the floats could be implicitly labelled.
  The most part of my floats have a label, I don't know if this is common usage.
  My label tag always is something like "fig: text" or "tab: text",
  with text corresponding to the caption of the float.
  Automating the procedure could be a good idea!

 Staffan wrote:
 Do you mean that the entire caption text  would be the label?  - No good.

 Herbert wrote:
 i think that this is no problem for figures, when you insert 
 it by filename. every filename can be by default the label.
 but for other floats it's not easy to implement.

Yes Staffan, you are right. The caption would not be a good label.
But I like Herbert's proposal: we could autolabel the floats that contain an
external file. The default label would be the name of the file.
Of course the autolabelling should be easily switchable off and the default
label changed.

My label tag always is something like "fig: text" or "tab: text",
with text corresponding to the caption of the float.

The user would know nothing of the implicit label, but he could insert the
reference to the figure or table float, choosing from a menu like the TOC -
List of figures/tables.
Implicit labelling could be switchable on and off for each figure and the
implicit label could still be user modifiable in a float-setting window.

(no patches attached as I have no programming knowledge. I am really sorry;
however this is only a "feature suggestion", not a "feature request" ;-)

A new Agency needs LyX, perhaps.

2000-10-05 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi


Hi,

My wife and me have almost accomplished our respective PhD thesis with
LyX1.1.5fix1, Pybliographic and ImageMagick on Linux Mandrake 7.1.

In a months I am leaving university and beginning to work as manager of a
new local agency for energy saving.

My project is to start the right (and economic) way: an open-source
only organisation.  So, I plan to use Linux, StarOffice 6 (soon coming?) and
LyX, of course, for all the reporting activity.

I already know that I will be facing several problems and oppositions.
The worst of the problems, that I should solve before formal proposal, is the
following: our likely partners work on Win and MSOffice only.

I have got no problem for exporting read-only documents: LyX PDF-export works
very nice.   

The problem comes when sharing read-write docs, those documents that are
reviewed and modified by the partners, thus needing to be translated from LyX to
MSWord and viceversa, without loosing the overall structure. Of course tables,
equations and other strange objects could be translated into images
(à-la-latex2html) in the MSWord side, but they should be editable in LyX side.
Text and structure should be editable in both sides.

Yes, I know: the solution is to make partners switching to LyX ;-)
But at present this appears impossible.

So I ask lyx-users for ideas and suggestions...

This is the actual situation of my experiments:
HTML = exported by Lyx, but not imported...
TXT = it looses the structure!
RTF = I tried latex2rtf. Not so bad, but it needs hacking and MSWord does not
read the converted tables. I never succeded with rtf2latex back-conversion.
??? = ???

Thanks a lot for the invaluable work of developers and help from users.

Bug (?) with noun style in titles

2000-08-26 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi

Hi,

I am writing my thesis in LyX.
I use the class "book (koma-script)".
I have got some names in the chapter and section titles.
So I set them to "noun style" on. In LyX they show well.
But when I look at the postscript output they don't retain the style and show
themselves as the other chapter and section title text.
In subsections and below the nouns show themselves properly.

I think the problem is due to the underling LaTeX class.
How to overcome this problem? can we consider it a LyX bug?

However, thank you as usual.

Little idea for typing comfort

2000-08-25 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi

Hi,
first of all: thanks to Herbert Voss for solving my previous problem.

A little idea to improve the comfort in typing.
LyX should prevent the user from typing a blank space before a point, a coma
and so on or move it after the sign, thus avoiding mistakes like these:

"I love LyX_,but I prefer girls_!" (where underscore means space)

Of course it would be necessary a way to turn this control off, so to allow to
type numbers like in: "my IQ is_.0001"

As I am learning python I promise to prepare a script to check that mistake
that I make rather often typing my thesis.
(release date next year, it's vaporware ;-)

Of course it would be necessary a way to turn this control off, so to allow to
type numbers like in: "my IQ is_.0001"

As I am learning python I promise to prepare a script to check that mistake
that I make rather often typing my thesis.

Little idea for typing comfort

2000-08-25 Thread Emanuele Gissi & Alessia Franceschi

Hi,
first of all: thanks to Herbert Voss for solving my previous problem.

A little idea to improve the comfort in typing.
LyX should prevent the user from typing a blank space before a point, a coma
and so on or move it after the sign, thus avoiding mistakes like these:

"I love LyX_,but I prefer girls_!" (where underscore means space)

Of course it would be necessary a way to turn this control off, so to allow to
type numbers like in: "my IQ is_.0001"

that I make rather often typing my thesis.

Problem or bug with footnotes in a description environment

2000-08-08 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi

Hi,

I am tring to put a footnote at the end of a label in a "description"
environment. This does not work properly: either the footnotes shows but there
is a blank space between the label and the indice or the indice is well
positioned but the footnote does not show at all...
How to do that in a working way?

I include a little example.
I am using LyX 1.1.5fix1 on a i386 with Linux Mandrake.

Emanuele Gissi

PS A week ago, I posted a mail regarding accented characters and so on.
Thanks for the help: now, my wife and me happily use the "compose" key on our
keyboard. I also erased with a solvent the small MS-Win flag on the top of
the "compose" button ;-)

A problem: LyX-XFig

2000-07-25 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi


Preamble: I am a LyX novice.

I am writing a PhD thesis with LyX, first of all I thank you very much for LyX:
it is really wonderful.

I attach a file with three examples explaining my problems.

First example: I tried to import a XFig picture not in the same directory as
the lyx document. LaTeX complains.

Second example: I moved the XFig picture in the same directory and tried again
to import it (with input). Everything works except that the picture is not
centered.

Third example: if the XFig picture are not coupled with imported eps in the same
document, LaTeX complains.

I would like to:
- keep my images in different directories than the text (as in
the first example),
- center the XFig pictures that I succed importing (as in second example),
- have a document with only one XFig picture (as in third example).

I read the manuals, but I did not find any solution.
My config is the following: Linux Mandrake 7.1 on a i386, LyX 1.1.5fix1.

I thank you once again.

RE: RE: Importing EPS images in Lyx

2000-01-11 Thread Emanuele Gissi Alessia Franceschi


 I tried your example file ASIS and transformed with ps2epsi (which is much
 nicer at it really uses only the small space of your picture and not the
 much larger space of the saved image) and had NO problem at all to view
 the document in gv (View Postscript), both images rendered perfectly.

Well, after using ps2epsi the resulting eps worked.
I think that my problem was due to the bounding box that was very big.
(as big as an A4 page :-)

Thank you very much, my problem is now solved.

What do you think of a little appendix to the user manual to explain what are
EPS and PS files, solving problems with bounding boxes? And a little list of
useful graphical programs to transform a graphic format in another and how to
do it (tips and tricks, perhaps)?

Hi, (hoping this message is not too long for the list)

  5) stardraw (staroffice): the EPS files are well read by gv (and ghostscript)
  but if I insert them in a LyX (both 1.0.3 and 1.1.2) document and try to view
  the resulting PS with gv, gv complains and shows everything except the image I
  inserted. Exactly the same thing happens with EPS images generated by gimp.
 
 Very strange! What errors did you get?

Here are the step I followed:
1) create the EPS with stardraw or with gimp.
2) inserted it into my LyX file.
3) Clicked on "Full screen preview" on the context "figure" window
4) gv opens and shows the image
5) from the "File" menu of LyX I click on "View Postscript"
6) gv opens and shows all the pages, the page containing the figure too. But it
does not render the EPS complaining with a window.

Thank you very much for your reply.

If someone is interested I can write a very small abstract of the pros and cons
of the graphical software I tried for the new LyX users (as I am one of them!)

RE: RE: Importing EPS images in Lyx

Here are the step I followed:
1) create the EPS with stardraw or with gimp.
2) inserted it into my LyX file.
3) Clicked on "Full screen preview" on the context "figure" window
4) gv opens and shows the image
5) from the "File" menu of LyX I click on "View Postscript"
6) gv opens and shows all the pages, the page containing the figure too. But it
does not render the EPS complaining with a window.

 This is the reply of gv:
