I'm giving a little presentation of my trip to Globecom2013. I have many pictures I took of slides presented there. I'm putting together a beamer presentation. I don't want to create a slide and cut and paste each picture - there are about 200. I wonder if I could somehow bring up an

I turned my jpgs into a multipage pdf using sam2p and pdfjoin. As a test, I tried inserting just 1 page of the pdf into lyx as external pdfpages. It will display onscreen within lyx, but not in the finished pdf output from lyx! I did use pages=- option. If I export as luatex, and run luatex,

IEEE conference, author affilitation

2014-03-05 Thread Neal Becker
Trying to write an IEEE conference paper (in a big hurry!). I see I can insert authors, but I don't see anything for affiliation. In my case, I have 3 authors. Just use ERT and follow the instructions from IEEEconf.pdf? Of course, I can't help thinking that IEEE conf class isn't actually

confusion about IEEEtran vs. ieee bib

I'm using ieeetr bib option in lyx, which uses ieeetr bib style. I'm using texlive on fedora 20. I also have a package: rpm -ql texlive-biblatex-ieee /usr/share/doc/texlive-biblatex-ieee /usr/share/doc/texlive-biblatex-ieee/lppl1.3.txt

footnote in table - too much vertical space in minipage

2014-03-10 Thread Neal Becker
I tried the advice for putting footnote inside table http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#toc12 It works, but there's too much space from the bottom edge of the table to the footnote (and following caption). Any suggestion? Without the footnote, the caption is tight to the bottom of the table

resize equation output

I have the misfortune to be commanded to produce ppt. So I took one of my equations, in lyx. I chose beamer so I get something that'll look good on a slide. I put \beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty so crop will work. When exported export/pdf(crop), it looks OK, but it's too small. I
