beamer question
Hi Now we have the raspberry PI out, I can perhaps use a raspberry Pi as part of a display system for a TV, sort of scroll through slides etc. if i create a presentation in beamer does this allow for auto changing of slides as in if I set the pi to auto boot to x, auto login and start a presentation, I want it to run the presentation and when it gets to the end, start over from the beginning without having to press a keyboard to go to next slide. Just wondered if this is possible or another package should be used. Paul -- -- http://drupal.zleap.net skype : psutton111 http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paul-sutton/36/595/911

Hi not quite what we are looking for but may point in the right direction Assuming you have already inserted a table, I quickly did this to test Try clicking Tools menu, preferences, then colours under that there is an option for table line, you can also alter text colour from here, does this help / point you in the right direction Paul On 06/06/12 20:48, Beil, Scott wrote: > > Lyx, > > > > How do I grey boxes within tables; to make large table easy to read? > > * * > > > > * * > > > > * * > > > > * * > > * * > > > > > > > > > > > > > > * * > > > > > > > > > > > > > > * * > > > > > > > > > > > > > > * * > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > *Scott Beil** > *USDA-ARS > Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory > 1680 Madison Avenue > Williams Hall > Wooster, Ohio 44691 > > 330-263-3892 > scott.b...@ars.usda.gov <mailto:scott.b...@ars.usda.gov> > > üPlease consider the environment before printing this e-mail. > > > > > > > > > > This electronic message contains information generated by the USDA > solely for the intended recipients.

underfull/ overfull badboxes
Hi
Following on from my previous questions on LaTex, the same file I have
now figured out how to add tables of contents and indexes, which should
be handy when I want to do this in LyX too, as I will have a better idea
of what goes on underneath.
My qestion now is around over / underfull boxes, the attached file (not
sure if I needed to include the graphics here) but it compiles fine,
only I get badbox errors on lines
27,underfull \hbox (badness 10,000) in paragraph
31,underfull \hbox (badness 10,000) in paragraph
31underfull \hbox (badness 10,000) in paragraph
I get an overfull \hox on line 62, (10,20177pt too wide) in paragraph
I just wondered what has happened, as I said it compiles fine, so
despite 10,000 being high up the scale on badness it seems happy with
something.
I have looked this up just can't see what is wrong with my text, as I
start other paragraphs in the same way any they don't give issues.
I take it there are other ways I should be presenting that list at the
end perhaps as a table would be better, or don't i need to have url then
what it is next to it,
thanks,
Paul

\index{Introduction}
The following paragraph is taken directly from the Geany Website [1]\\Geany is a text editor using the GTK2 toolkit with basic features of an integrated development environment.It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE,which has only a few dependencies from other packages.It supports many filetypes and has some nice features.\\
\subsection*{Getting Started}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Getting Started}
\index{Getting Started}%
If Geany is not already installed you need to go to the Ubuntu software
centre [2] and install it. Or follow the instructions for your operating system
Once installed you can start the application from either the side bar
(software centre may give you the option to add to sidebar so please scroll
down to see what other options are available).\\

\pagebreak
To start:-\\
a new file use: \\
{\bf File - New} \\
To Start a new file but use a template for a specific programming language use: \\
{\bf File - New (from template)} \\
You have quite a few options here, it is useful when programming however I would guess more experienced programmers won't bother, if you
look Liams Raspberry Pi Tutorials [3] he starts out with a template than deletes most of it anyway and just leaves the part he needs for the code and the first
line which points to where the python program resides.

contrast of pdf files
Hi I produce a newsletter for my local rugby club, in a mix of LyX and LaTeX, I have been informed that for some people the pdf is hard to read, I just wondered if there was anything I could do about this, perhaps as its a pdf with black text and a white background is there a way to alter the back ground colour of the pdf file so its slightly off white, which could make it easier to read. thanks, Paul -- Paul Sutton Cert SLPS (Open) http://www.zleap.net Saturday 2nd April 2011 - Linux user group meeting, Shoreline Bar and Restaurant, Paignton Seafront, from 14:30 if you drop in From 15:00 members will be available to talk to you about how perhaps Free and Open Source software can save you money.

Hi
I am trying to write my assignment for the open university, using lyx
and Jab ref to handle the bibliography and referencing
my jab ref entry looks like this
@INBOOK{Shaw2005,
chapter = {3},
pages = {21-26},

Hancock. R, and Collins.J. 'Priamary Teaching Assistants'},
year = {2005},
author = {Shaw, Linda},

If I insert a citation on the screen it reads [shaw2005] and then at the
end what I want is listed correctly. But in the pdf it just displays [1]
However in my assignment (pdf) I want it to display the author rather
than the reference number so it should say something like As Shaw
(2005) states xyz. I can add stuff ater the reference no problem, its
just getting it to display the right thing in my essay.
where Shaw would be the reference, to be displayed, clearly I can add
the page number to this.
Just wondered what I am doing wrong,

fancyhead and removing footer page number
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi
I am due to start a Open university course shortly, and part ofthe
requirement for this is to have page numbers at the top of the page.
I have enabled the fancyhdr pacakge and figured out how to do this fine,
1. How do I now remove the page number from the footer of the page. I
have tried the slider thing under document set for numbering and this
doesn't seem to do it,
2. Is it possible to do
i have inserted ERT
\lhead{Student name - student number}
\chead{TMA 01}
\rhead{\thepage}
is it possible to have it display
page then the page number I tried using
\head{page}{\thepage} but this seems to fail.
On and one more question, in the text layout under document settings if
I type 1.5 in to line spacing will it display as 1.5 line spacing
(another requirement), as this is not listed as an option. but it
comes under custom. So I am guessing yes.
thanks for any help
if it helps
I am using LyX under ubuntu 8.10 1.5.6.

Hi
In my pre-amble I have
\usepackage{multicol}
then the first line of my main document is
\setlength{\columnsep}{2cm}\setlength{\columnseprule}{1pt}\begin{multicols}{3}
last line is
\end{multicols}
this produces a nice 3 column document, if you just use
\begin{multicols}{2} it should do it, if you did this
\begin{multicols}{2}
paragraph you want in 2 columns
\end{multicols}
normal formatted paragraph,
it should do the part after \end{multicols} as normal text,
I have put a 3 column document in pdf on my website at
http://www.zleap.net/downloads/ldtp-contribs/ along with the lyx source
code (ver 1.5.6)
hope this helps

I am sure the above is possible, not sure how though. the txt2tags website can take simple mark up and produce latex output, ok this goes back to what i said earlier, about learning more mark up, but it shows that this can be done, so an online latex collaboration tool should be possible, if it concentrated on latex and related such as bibtex, then it would be a very powerful tool. http://codepad.org/ Paul -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknbIXgACgkQaggq1k2FJq2X4wCfVbeU29Ma9uZnxyn/dxSvO65i FjEAn37CbTdBDSjrUs+D70+ueTcIUsHV =kexE -END PGP SIGNATURE-
3 columns
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi having now sorted out my table problem, thank you again for the help on that, I now want to put everything in to a nice 3 column document, looking at lyx it gives me an option for 2 column, i would guess that a 3 column would be an option somewhere, either that or i need to put it in a pre amble somewhere. I will keep searching on google, B Paul - -- Paul Sutton www.zleap.net Support Open and ISO standard file formats ISO 26300 odf http://www.odfalliance.org Next Linux User Group meet :Saturday April 4th : 3pm, Shoreline Cafe Paignton -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknU4OkACgkQaggq1k2FJq0hawCePs3hJteMaZVRbJYYP8rAkr9x 7FsAnj64FyQ5wMSW7xmGyKh354gVm6xh =dICs -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Hi
I am fairly new to lyx and latex, so far its pretty good I have figured
out how to do citations and chemical formulas etc, which is much easier
than using a word processor for such tasks.
I have been trying to work on a nicely formatted document to list all
the command (key bindings) for the joe command reference on lyx under
ubuntu 8.10. lyx 1.5.6.
This is for the linux documentation project, so I have done a similar
document just need to update it, which is what I am using lyx for
I put all the data in tables, but I think this was a bad idea, as the
newlines etc are causing problems, what I want to go back to is a
document without all the table tags in, so it just lists what was in
the table in the lyx document
things like
^B Left^F Right
^P Up ^N Down
right now this is in a table, but I want it not in a table, I can't seem
to find out how to highlight the table and just remove it,
the code for the above is
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textasciicircum{}B & Left & \textasciicircum{}F & Right\tabularnewline
\hline
\hline
\textasciicircum{}P & Up & \textasciicircum{}N & Down\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
\textasciicircum{}Z & Previous Word\tabularnewline
\hline
\hline
\textasciicircum{}X & Next Word\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
so there has to be a way to undo the table bit. Even if its a perl or
bash script that I can run on the file and have it remove the
appropriate code.
thanks for any help.
