Parastoo you correct me if I am wrong!

lyx/pdflatex pstrick

[Artimess]

Hi All,

I am having no success on including some pstrick code as I always get
errors.  If I just put the code in a normal documet and do:
latex ->dvi2pdf then it works.
It seems to me that pdflatex has some issues with pstricks.  Is there any
work around for it?
Thanks
Artimess

ps:The sample code that I am using is.  yes, I have pstrick and pstree in my
preamble

\pstree[radius=3pt]{\Toval{root}}{\TC * \TC* \TC* \TC*}

Glossary and acronyms

[Artimess]

Hi all,
What is the best way of building a glossary section in Lyx, the page must be
two columns of course.
Thanks in advance for suggestions,

Supper imposed (almost letters)

[Artimess]

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following:

What I need is some code to create the effect of having a letter crossed and
a little bit above it have an other letter printed.
Imagine that you are correcting a text for  typo and a letter is wrong in a
word, you cross the letter and above it (slightly) you write the corrected
letter, for example:

  Guy  (imagine the correct word was Buy, so the G should be crossed and
above it one should write B.

I am including a jpg file to show the effect or something similar that I
like to realize.

I do appreciate your help and many thanks in afvance,

Need help with memsty.sty package

[Artimess]

I do appreciate if  someone help me to figure out how to use memsty.sty
package.  It is part of memoir class.
When I include it in document setting of a working document I get lots of
errors.  So what I did was created a small
file using it independently and here is what I get.  The problem is I do not
know how to fix it.
Here is the log messages I get.  I highlighted the error in RED.

Thanks in Advance,

help with creating an environment

[Artimess]

I would like to create a LyX module for the  environment that I borrowed
from the tex version of memoir book (code e  in blue).  I used Steve Litt's
tutorial to experiment with it (code in green), when I run  I get  two
errors in red.

I would appreciate if you explain to me what I am doing wrong.
Also, It is preferable t have this as module rater than layout how should I
go about doing it as a module?

Many thanks,
Artimess

problem adding a module Lyx 2.0 Alpha3

When I add the following module in BLUE  to $HOME/Library/Application

the error about logicalmkup in RED below, when I open up my document.
 However, I did not have this problem before adding the following module.
Could I please have some help to solve this issue.

If you don't like "Algorithm", you can define your own float as in the
attached module. Copy it to your LyX user layouts directory (e.g.,
$HOME/.lyx/layouts/), reconfigure LyX, and restart. Then it will be
available under Insert>Float.

Figure Number bug perhaps?

[Artimess]

I am using Lyx 1.6.6 on Mac, in Lyx the Figure numbers are correctly
identifed as Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, etc.  But when I reference them in the
text, the references get the section numbers instead.  For example if I
reference figure 1.2 in section 1.6.2, in the printout it appears as "in
Figure 1.6.2" instead of "in Figure 1.2...".   I am selecting  as
the reference stye.
Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in adavnce,
Artimess

Package installation question

[Artimess]

Could someone tell me:

1) Where does Lyx stores the packages in Mac, Linux, and Windows  if they
are different?
2) Should I do anything special to install a package beyond moving it to the
right directory and do a reconfigure?
3) How can I check if a package is available or installed?
4) Are the commands of the installed new package visible to Lyx front-end
and one  can select them through menu bar?
or should we use ERT for them?

Many thanks for your help,

Artimess

Displaying block of code

[Artimess]

Please for give me for this very simple minded question.  I am new to this
user group and Lyx for that matter.  I like to know if there are any
commands that I can use to display block of codes and commands.  I do not
want to use the same font and style of ordinary text and I would like to
keep these code blocks together .  By that I mean I do not want half the
code in one page and the other have in another page.

Many thanks in advance,
Artimess
