Beamer question: overlays with graphics
I have some older slides with frames divided into two columns. On the left
column, there is an itemized list exposed one slide at a time. On the
right, a corresponding image alternates within a fixed overlayarea.
In previous Lyx versions I did this with <1->, <2-> etc (on the left), and
overlayarea(width)(height) and \includegraphics<1>[]{},
\includegraphics<2>[]{}, etc (on the right)
These slides do not compile in 2.1.4.
I am having limited success with Overprint instead: the left column now
appears like this:
onslide 1- textA
onslide 2- textB
And the right column like this:
Overprint onslide 1 (image1)
Overprint onslide 2 (image2)
But my problem is controlling the width of the overprint. It doesn't seem
that inserting Overprint Area Width does anything. Looking at the source
pane, filling the width box is not even reflected in the source; inserting
it within the width box as ERT with Ctrl+L is reflected in the source, but
has no effect on the image size.
Any ideas?

migrating (soon to be) old beamer files
LyX support for beamer is improving, and that's great. Once the new version of LyX comes out of beta, however, old beamer files with overlays will no longer compile. I have dozens of those. Any suggestions (other than keeping an old LyX installation in addition to the new one)? Thanks, Eran

remapping the en dash
To get an en dash, we used to type --. But in the age of XeTeX etc, I'd rather input – that would show up in LyX and in the output. Is there an easier way to do this under Windows than Alt+0150 ? Thanks, Eran

Re: lyx: Font derail (with semi-related ranting)
Syntax is a beautiful typeface, but in my experience the digital
implementation looks nothing like the specimen in Bringhurst.
For a thesis, I would recommend exclusive use of MinionPro. Headlines
can be done in all caps and small caps, or in bold. Math symbols and
Greek are included. Works very well with \usepackage{microtype}.

As a big fan of Robert Bringhurst's book The Elements of Typographic
Style, I will follow him and suggest the sanserif typeface Syntax,
designed by Hans Eduard Meier. Unlike most sanserifs, it is based on
Renaissance forms like Garamond, as is Palatino. An illustration in
his book shows how good it looks with Minion.

Re: Beamer multitude problems with lyx
In my opinion, the greatest impediment to using Beamer with LyX is the lack of a portable version. I don't always travel with a laptop, which often means there is no way to make last minute changes to the presentation. Not an issue in powerpoint.

powerdot class options
Contrary to the powerdot.pdf, it is not currently possible to produce .pdf output in landscape mode with the nopsheader class option. Is it possible to update the wiki or post this somewhere accessible?
Re: powerdot class options
I don't know if there's a bug in Powerdot. I've not used Powerdot in quite some time, and I recently found out that older presentations did not compile as expected. I've always followed the manual which said: 10.3 Compiling with LYX First of all, make sure that you have also read section 8. Then, in order to get a proper PostScript or PDF file, you have to set your LYX document properties depending on which paper and orientation you want. When your LYX document is open, go to the Layout - Document dialog. In the Layout pane, put the nopsheader, orient and paper keys as class options (see section 2.1 for a description). Then, go to the Paper pane and select corresponding paper size and orientation (you may choose letter paper in the case you set paper=screen in the class options). Finally, go to the View (or File = Export)menu and select your output (PostScript or PDF). However, I recently found out that the nopsheader option must now be omitted for the document to compile properly. (See also: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg71492.html). Also note that contrary to the manual, once the powerdot class is selected in LyX, the option to select paper size and orientation is no longer available. If I am correct then the manual must be corrected, but perhaps a wiki entry is also appropriate.

Re: Another Point to Consider in Your Writing
Nothing wrong with New Century Schoolbook, but take a look at Minion for book work.

It's already on your computer in OpenType, but for publishing you might consider licensing the full package. Eran

Palatino is a good face, too. It also works well with the microtype package as does Minion.

Thanks to Richard for the solution – the file wouldn't open due to a problem in LyX2LyX, which has now been corrected. Cheers! Eran

old document corrupted
I opened a lyx file written in 2007 with 1.6.1. It failed to open. But worse, it now shows up as 0 bytes and won't open with a text editor. Any advice? -- Dr Eran S. Kaplinsky Faculty of Law University of Alberta 447 Law Centre Edmonton · AB · T6G 2H5 C A N A D A
Re: old document corrupted
I don't mean take-your-vitamins-stay-in-school advice! I have a bunch of documents written in version 1.4.3, and 1.3.7 and lower, and they won't open. Any advice?

network paths: windows vs. linux
All my LyX files, images, etc are stored at work on a network folder
mapped on a windows box to X:\. And so my files contain code such as:
\includegraphics{x:/images/bubblegum.jpg}
\includepdf{x:/pdfs/bubble}
My question is how do I work with these files and these paths on my new
linux box?
Thanks and Regards,
Eran
re: LyX 1.6.0 is released
The Debian package works well! A mild annoyance: files prepared with RC5 (and older, I suppose) can't be opened. The fileformat must be changed for the file to open. Eran

I've seen this before in RC2. In the Edit, Text Style menu, try to mark the Hebrew text as Hebrew and the English text as English. Does it help? Eran Kaplinsky

Hebrew LyX
A couple of questions for the Hebrew LyXers: I installed LyX on a new vista desktop (by modifying the instructions here: http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~sameti/tex/lyxhebrew.html to work on Vista.) 1. How do I get proper quotation marks? When I input the output shows single quotation marks. 2. How do I access the different culmus fonts? Thanks, Eran

Can anyone guide me how to incorporate dot graphs in my LyX documents? Is there a wiki on this? Thanks, Eran

Hi all,
I need your help. It turns out to be a known problem that you can't use
hyperref with Memoir. However, there's supposedly a fix, known as
memhfixc.sty. Supposedly, if you \usepackage{memhfixc} AFTER you
\usepackage{hyperref}, they can coexist. See this:
http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:8kIeWO2Ho9oJ:www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-3/wilson/wilson.pdf+memoir+hyperref+ifpdfhl=enct=clnkcd=3gl=us
http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:8kIeWO2Ho9oJ:www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-3/wilson/wilson.pdf+memoir+hyperref+ifpdfhl=enct=clnkcd=3gl=us
However, when I make a trivial latex file based on the preceding document, it
fails. Here's the file:
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{memhfixc}
\usepackage{mempatch}
\begin{document}
hello world.
\end{document}
Most of my documents are with memoir and hyperref, with no problem. I
usually have:
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdftex, bookmarks, backref, letterpaper, colorlinks=true,
urlcolor=black}
\usepackage{memhfixc}
But, I tries your document and it works, too ...

Can't convert graphviz DOT format to PDF
I have no answer for you, but I'm following this thread closely. I tried to get dot2tex working under LyX several months ago, but gave up. Eran

Re: Numbering paragraphs
Clever, indeed. You should add it to the WIKI.
I adapted it to my needs:
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\textbf{\thesection.\arabic{enumi}}}
Now I need two further changes:
First, to correct the indentation, so that the paragraph number is flush
with the left number and the rest of the text is not hanging, but also
flush.
Second, to create a second (and possibly third level):
1.1
1.2
1.2.1
1.2.2
1.3
Can you help?
Thanks,
Eran
