problem previewing pdf figure

[s nedunuri]

I have a pdf figure in my lyx file. Exporting the entire document to pdf 
using pdflatex works fine. The problem is previewing the image in lyx. 
The error message I get is Error converting to loadable format.  When 
i google for this problem i find several places that says its a problem 
with an older version of Ghostscript, but that the problem has been 
fixed if you have version 9 or greater. I checked the version of GS i 
have in the lyx directory and its 9.04 so I should be fine but I'm still 
not :-(


thanks!

Problem with spaces in filenames - Might be useful to others

[s nedunuri]

Ran into an unusual problem which i finally resolved. I thought it might 
be of interest to others. The problem occurs when you include/input 
files that have spaces in them and then you try to process the generated 
tex file seperately. When Lyx generates the tex for the master file it 
generates somethihg like:


\include{\stringFilename with spaces\string}

But when you process this with latex/pdflatex it generates an aux file 
containing


\@input{Filename.aux}

which of course causes no end of confusion to both latex and bibtex. 
Removing the spaces fixes the problem

Re: Columns in Beamer Lyx

I just tried it and I cannot get it to work. All that happens is that 
the text [totalwidth=50mm] shows up in the 1st column. Yes I entered 
it in TeX mode, right after where it says Columns (center aligned) in red.

It does.  You just have to enter it as raw TeX (Insert  TeX Code or Ctrl-L), in
square bracket, as inERT[totalwidth=50mm]/ERT.


Or for that matter the Column command requires you to give
an absolute width for the column and doesnt allow a relative spec  like
0.5\textwidth.


Relative widths work.  Again, enter them as raw TeX (but this time without the

eqnarray environment. Then you can number each line of the multi-line

only allows numbering of the whole thing.


Thanks that did the trick



The gather environment will also do, or the equation array environment,
but not, perhaps surprisingly, the multiline environment, which is
specifically intended to a single equation that spans many lines

Actually the equation array environment appears not to do individual 
line numbering. It has the same effect as inset matrix

Problems with emf to eps translator emf2eps

[s nedunuri]

Hello, I am running Lyx 2.0.0 on Windows 7. When I import a figure 
created in Visio but saved as an emf file, it converts and appears ok in 
the Lyx editor. However, if I try to view the generated pdf file, adobe 
reader sits and thinks for a very long time before it is able to display 
the page containing the graphis. When it finally does, the figure 
appears vastly blown up in size. I need to scale it down in Lyx to about 
20% of the original size to get it to fit, and even then reader will 
labor for a very long time beofre displaying the page (and sometimes 
omits the figure entirely). I never noticed this problem before b/c I 
used to give Lyx the eps file directly, converted from emf by a 3rd 
party tool which is unf. no longer free :-( so i am reliant on the 
built-in convertor now. Any ideas?


cheers
PS my current workaround is to get visio to save it as a jpg which I 
import into Lyx. This works ok but doesn't produce as sharp an image

strange error with tabular

[S Nedunuri]

Hello I generated latex from my lyx file and then seperately compile it (in 
order to use a particular document class not part of the lyx distribution). 
Normally there's no problem, but when I adjust the widths of columns in my 
table in Lyx, and then compile the generated latex, I get the following 
error message from  latex:

! Use of \@array doesn't match its definition.
\new@ifnextchar ...served@d = #1\def \reserved@a {
  #2}\def \reserved@b 
{#3}\f...
l.1275 ...{\centering}p{1in}|{\centering}p{1in}|}

?

The offending line is:

\begin{tabular}{|c|{\centering}p{1in}|{\centering}p{1in}|{\centering}p{1in}|{\centering}p{1in}|}

Incidentally, not adjusting the column widths generates the following latex 
which compiles fine:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}

Any ideas? 

Re: strange error with tabular

BTW, i forgot to mention i'm using Lyx 1.6.6 and MikTex 2.8

yes it does. Thanks!

Funny that whatever latex processor Lyx is calling doesn't stumble on this.

LyX automatically defines it for you, as:


  \newenvironment{lyxcode}

  {\par\begin{list}{}{

  \setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}

  \setlength{\listparindent}{0pt}% needed for AMS classes

  \raggedright

  \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}

  \setlength{\parsep}{0pt}

  \normalfont\ttfamily}%

  \item[]}

  {\end{list}}



  So you will need to redefine this environment in your preamble. It may be 
enough to do this:


  \renewenvironment{lyxcode}

  {\par\begin{list}{}{

  \setlength{\leftmargin}{0pt}

  \setlength{\listparindent}{0pt}% needed for AMS classes

  \raggedright

  \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}

default margin sizes

[S Nedunuri]

hello, how do you find out the default margin (left, top, etc.) settings for 
a given document class? Page Margins under Doc Settings just allows you to 
change the defaults but doesn't show what they are. The following article 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/PaperLayout says Then open in your document an 
ERT-box (shortcut C-L) and insert the command \layout. When exporting the 
document, you will get a picture similar to this: paperDistances. However, 
i just get a complaint from the lyx compiler saying that \layout is an 
undefined control sequence

cheers!

some beamer questions

[s nedunuri]

Just started using beamer. I think its great. I was unable to find a beamer 
manual [entry] for lyx but i've been able to figure out most of what i need 
from looking at the examples. Couple of qs:

1. When i create a block, how do i get the block contents to actually appear 
inside the block. So what i currently have is:
Block (ERT[{title}] body): [[ {some heading} ]]
block contents

where [[ and ]] indicate a red ERT box. There seems to be some way of 
letting lyx know that the contents belong inside the blue box that appears 
on the output (b/c i see it done in the examples) but i cant figure it out

2. Suppose you have a program listing or a math array, and you want to 
animate the replacement of certain sections of the code or the introduction 
of certain pieces of code, how might that be done. I see a reference to 
overlays but the examples i looked at didn't contain them
