Re: Engineering student considering LyX for Thesis
I have written my 300 pages thesis completely in LyX, with many tables, equations and figures. It is not really a problem if you can work on one of the standard classes, like Memoir. If you have to adapt to a particular format/layout it can be a hell at the beginning, but afterwards it will become as natural as if you are using a standard class. Use master/child documents, create the preamble in a separate file and include it in every document and you will be capable of making a huge document with no appreciable lost of performance. Good luck. - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 12:01 PM, Helge Hafting helge.haft...@hist.no wrote: On 17. okt. 2011 18:49, Johnston81 wrote: [...] My current situation is this: I am working on my Master Thesis and currently doing my research and such.

LyX has no problem with size. Some things may get slower with a really big document, but it is still perfectly stable. Big does not cause crashes, big does not cause faults. Cross references and table of contents will still be correct - everytime. I have written a 284 page book - no problem. Writing your thesis may be a lot of work - but the work will be on the thesis, not on LyX issues with a large document full of graphs. You will have to learn LyX of course. Simply writing, and adding tables, formulas and figures is easy. If there are very specific formatting requirements, then that may be tricky. In such cases, look at the user guide first, and ask here if the guide is not enough. As for size - I have created torture test documents of 1600 and 4 pages. The 4 page document is slow to navigate, but it works. Still no crashes. The LyX User guide is over 160 pages. And it uses most LyX features. Experiment with that, if you worry about size issues. :-) Reformatting a big document is usually no problem. You can change the margins or paper size for a 100-page document and expect no problems. (Well, a figure/table too big for the new paper size will need some attention.) My questions are fairly simple to ask, I am not certain that everybody will agree on the answers but rough estimates are all I am looking for anyway. So here goes: 1. Considering LyX over Word, how much time would I approximately need to learn LyX to the extent that I can actually produce text, including graphics and formulas(!), from a template? All that is easy stuff. Writing plain text in LyX is as easy as in word. When you need a heading, you select a heading from a drop-down list. Similiar for bullet points and such. (There are also keyboard shortcuts to speed things up, but that can wait.) Including graphichs can be as simple as menu Insert-Graphics, then type the file name (or select it) in a dialog. you can also set the size of your graphic in the same dialog. Usually, one put a figure in something called a float. This allow better page breaking, and cross references. (I.e. you can have LyX produce references like figure 17 on page 62, and the numbers will always be right. Even if you write some more pages at the beginning...) Formulas is an area where LyX is better than word. You can put together any formula you can imagine, using menus and toolbars. Using toolbars is the easy (but somewhat slow) way. If you write lots of math, learn some of the speed shortcuts. Like typing \alpha instead of picking the alpha symbol from the toolbar everytime. How much time you will need is hard to say. But you are an engineering student, so learning the easier sides of LyX will likely be quick. You should be able to write text with formulas and figures the first day. Becoming good at LyX takes longer, of course. 2. What can I reasonably expect my learning curve to be after having learned the bare basics; what I mean is, is it simple to teach LyX to oneself and how easy is it to solve problems when encountered? LyX comes with documentation full of examples. You can look at the samples for stuff you want, or even cutpaste from them. 3. And finally, being a skilled user of Word would I - ultimately - save or spend time if I did try my luck on LyX? For something as big as a thesis, I believe the time needed to learn LyX will be saved. You say you don't want to do a big document in word - and that says it all really. You will need some learning, but size won't be the problem. And the printout will likely look better than anything made in word anyway. Well, adding some decorations in word *is* easier, but word fall apart on more basic stuff like line breaking. (There is a reason word defaults
Beamer and greyed-out items
Dear all. In a beamer presentation I would like to have greyed-out items after a pause environment. Right now they do not appear until it is their turn to appear. For me it is easier to know in advance what are the items I'm going to talk about in each slide, so I don't start wandering around, possibly going ahead in my presentation. I hope it is clear what I want. Thanks in advance. Regards. - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com

Dear all, I have installed TexLive 2011 and because of it I have lost the ability to install latex pacakges via apt-get. Where do I have to put and sty file in order for texhash to find it? I'm on Ubuntu Natty, BTW. Thanks in advance and sorry for the OT. - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com

Re: Strange behavior
The problem can be twosome. On the one hand, some corrupted temporary files created by LyX's compilation can be generating the problem. On the other hand, if you compiled a Latex version on the same folder the Lyx file is, I think it might be creating some havoc.
