I found the tip on importing xfig drawings http://www.lyx.org/help/xfig/xfig.html as well as Allen Barker's essay referred to there. That essay is nicely done and the steps involved in the various approaches are pretty easy to follow. But it does not work quite the way I expect. I originally

pandora breaks pdf output ? (was Re: kewl resource

Hm. When I use the pandora package, my pdf output is no good. Do you see the same? That's too bad, because pdf is the only feasible way I can take s computer slide show and offer it on a MS Windoze system. pj Guenter Milde wrote: > On Wed, 20 Feb 2002 14:39:09 +0200 wrote Robin Turner <[EMAI

Compiled 1.2.1 for RH7.3. Want to test?

Earlier I asked about lyx and g++3, got an email to revert to g++-2.96, so I did, and it did build. If you are a RH user, get the xforms 88 from lyx's contrib dir, and then try this one: http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/lyx-1.2.1-1rh73-xforms088.i386.rpm I copied the name's format fro

Re: LyX with pgfplotstable

It seems to me you are working very hard there. If you are willing to write out a path, can I suggest a simpler solution? Did you try just writing in a path, as: \pgfplotstabletypeset{/home/florian/Documents/lyx/example1.dat} This is how I insert data in Sweave documents. I have no reason to bel

horizontal alignment of graphics and ERT table

I wrote a test in LyX and have trouble getting a graphic to sit "side by side" with a LaTeX table. After fiddling around with this for quite a while, my bright idea was to nest them both in a 1x2 tabular, but it always seems like the table (inside a minibox) wants to sink to the bottom of the righ

Oh, heck. I broke the regular export of the one-page at a time PDF when I added my copier for the 4 sheets on one page. Details below, please advise. On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 2:15 PM, Richard Heck wrote: > On 02/27/2012 01:11 PM, Paul Johnson wrote: When this finally seemed to work, I was

Ubuntu missing screen fonts for symbols: solution.

I was asking about missing or incorrect symbols yesterday. I found a solution. In Lyx on Ubuntu 8.04, I noticed that SOME mathematical characters do not show properly on the screen. (Many symbols are fine.) For example, "\cdot" shows as "x" where it should have the centered dot and "\succ" just
