Hi Vincent, Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW schrieb: From: Matthias Coy [mailto:matthias@gmx.de] Hi there, still not quite working :/ Now the PNG/EPS/PDF looks all the same, almost good, but the text inside those UML classes is a little to big. Well, if I convert your plain svg with Inkscape the same as you do, my EPS looks good, while yours (found it on your server) doesn't. Can you run Inkscape with a GUI and see how it renders it ? Maybe it uses a different font than the other svg-renderers. Bytheway, I use Inkscape 0.45.1 on WinXp. Vincent Now I've loaded the "test.inkscape.plain.svg" into my WinXP Inkscape 0.46 (1. April 2008), exported it to PNG and it looks nice. The version of inkscape on the server is also 0.46. I don't know which libraries the windows version uses, but on (gentoo-)linux it looks like this: media-gfx/inkscape-0.46-r5: media-libs/freetype-2.3.7 media-libs/libpng-1.2.33 media-libs/lcms-1.17 app-text/poppler-bindings-0.8.7 media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2 media-gfx/imagemagick-6.4.4.6 x11-libs/pango-1.20.5 x11-libs/libXft-2.1.12 x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.11 So on windows it looks good, on linux it doesn't ... Hopefully someone can help Matt
Re: lyx2pdf
Hi there, still not quite working :/ here is my little testscript: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/608410 and here some output: While the original SVG (generated by Visual Paradigm UML) http://matthiascoy.de/temp/test.original.svg looks kind of awkward in Firefox, the "plain svg" http://matthiascoy.de/temp/test.inkscape.plain.svg looks very good. So I took that to generate PDF http://matthiascoy.de/temp/test.inkscape.pdf and, as you can see, it looks DIFFERENT. Now the PNG/EPS/PDF looks all the same, almost good, but the text inside those UML classes is a little to big. Hopefully some knows what the problem is :/ Regards Matt Vincent van Ravesteijn schrieb: Matthias Coy schreef: Hi again, I found out, that these two files (or at least one of them) work: ~/.lyx/lyxrc.dist ~/.lyx/preferences I put in them the following lines: \format "SVG" "svg" "svg" "" "inkview" "inkscape" "vector" \converter "SVG" "eps" "inkscape -F -D -z $$i --export-eps=$$o" "" \converter "SVG" "png" "inkscape -D -z $$i --export-png=$$o" "" \converter "SVG" "pdf" "inkscape -D -z $$i --export-pdf=$$o" "" and the quality is much better. Now I have the problem, that the pictures are looking "strange". This is how it should look (svg opened with inkscape): http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=withininkscapevd0.png This is how the PDF export shows it: http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pdfexportoj4.png And here it doesn't matter if "lyx -e pdf[2-3]?", I've tried them all. What strange behaviour is this? You probably want to add the option -T or --export-text-to-path to the inkscape parameter list. With this option, the text is rendered as a part of the drawing. Without this option, the text uses the latex/postscript font and this might have a different size as shown in Inkscape. This is useful when you want to replace the text by latex text/math with psfrag. Vincent

I cannot help you with manual configuration of Inkscape on Linux as I do not have experience with that yet. But yes, it is possible to configure formats in LyX to get Inkscape producing images automatically by editing files. But I have to ask someone having Linux installation to point you proper files. Can anyone help?

Re: links to bibliography
found the solution myself, it's inside the extended documentation file:
short: include the bibliography-file inside a comment, s.th. like
\begin{comment}
\include{bibliography.lyx}
\end{comment}

Hi there,
I've splitted my document into seperate files. S.th. like
mergefile.lyx
cover.lyx
tableOfContents.lyx
chapter1.lyx
chapter2.lyx
bibliography.lyx
the mergefile itself only includes the four other files. So, if I create
a PDF out of mergefile, everything looks finde, the numbering of the
chapters is great.
BUT: Now I added a entry into the bibliography (->bibliography.lyx) and
want to refer inside of chapter1 (->chapter1.lyx). But, of course,
chapter1 isn't aware of the entries inside the bibliography.
How do I make chapter1 aware of those entries, without including the
document (because then, I would have it twice)?

More or less, yes, though I'm not sure about (7). These settings just pass options to the geometry package, so check that package's documentation for the details. footskip is: distance separation between baseline of last line of text and baseline of footer where footer itself isn't definied, as far as I can see. This settings doesn't make any sense to me, why is there a setting "bottom" and a setting "footskip"? Can anyone give me an example for the use of footskip? rh mc

Uwe Stöhr schrieb: Matthias Coy schrieb: It seems to be very difficult to use any kind of formatation (like a heading or a item-list) inside a Abstract (KOMA-report). Yes because an abtract is gemerally not designed to have items and headings. It normally only contains plain text. The text layout is defined by the document class you are using. regards Uwe Yes, "normally". But I want to break that rule :) Best chance is now to just not use Abstract and make a "chapter*" out of it. regards matt
