Dear Lyx users list

I would like to use the mdframed package in Lyx, which offers nice
boxes. In its simplest form, mdframed is just used with (see below
for reproduciible latex code):

\begin{mdframed}
 A box
\end{mdframed}

Eventually with [frametitle=A title]

I was trying to create a Lyx inset for this, made it somehow, but
this is a very rough draft, and I would appreciate any help, in
particular:
-how to give the new inset a feeling of box? 



Add

Decoration classic

to the InsetLayout definition.


-For the title of the box, the user needs to add herself:
frametitle=A title Ideally, one would not need to do this... is
this avoidable in Lyx (make him add automatically frametitle=),
or does one need to rewrite slightly the environment mdframed?


Currently keyval syntax is not natively supported. So users either 
need to enter the keyval syntax completely, or you need to rewrite the 
mdframed environment.


-More generally, I choose to use it as a custom inset, but could
have done defining it as a new style.. is this choice sound?


Yes, looks completely sane.

Jürgen

Thanks!!

Dear lyx users list

I was wondering whether someone would have any insights for the question 
(see below) I asked a few days ago on this list, regarding help for 
writing a custom module. Maybe I should rather ask on the lyx-devel, 
where people might be more familiar with customising Lyx?

Re: Prevent Lyx to add with pkg subfig line \@ifundefined{showcaptionsetup}{}{%

Asking again for some help on how to prevent Lyx to add automatically

Thanks a lot!

manual for details. In this case, something as simple as what is at

user directory (~/.lyx/, by default, on Linux), and then reconfigure. 
Then you can choose the No subfig module from 
DocumentSettingsModules, and LyX won't (shouldn't!) try to load 
subfig for you. Note that you could also add you other custom 
commands to such a module and not have to do it manually.



Furthermore, yes Lyx still adds preamble commands after user 
defined, see:

Due to requirements on package-loading order, some such things do get 
done later.

custom .sty it results into error... Did I miss something?



The suggested
Provides subfig 1
command is a LyX layout command, and needs to go into some 
appropriate layout file or module. See chapter 5 of the Customization 
manual for details. In this case, something as simple as what is at 
the end will do. Put it into the layout/ subdirectory of your LyX 
user directory (~/.lyx/, by default, on Linux), and then reconfigure. 
Then you can choose the "No subfig" module from 
Document>Settings>Modules, and LyX won't (shouldn't!) try to load 
subfig for you. Note that you could also add you other custom 
commands to such a module and not have to do it manually.



Furthermore, yes Lyx still adds preamble commands after user 
defined, see:

Due to requirements on package-loading order, some such things do get

Thanks Ingar for the further explanations!

So the problem is most probably that subfig also uses \AtBeginocument{}, 
so my own \AtBeginDocument does not work... The second solution, using 
the code in ERT, is not possible in my case, since it is a whole 
package. I will then try  Richard's solution (creating specific layout 
to prevent Lyx to put this code at bottom of preamble), which seemed to 
be more complicated though.


Thanks a lot!

The \AtBeginDocument seems indeed to be what I am looking for! But what
is its expected behavior? I still see in both the Lyx-latex sources and
exported .tex the command \AtBeginDocument before the babel/subfig

\AtBeginDocument is a LaTeX command and should ensure that the command is 
executed
just before \begin{document} even if it is placed before the LyX internal 
command.
The caveat is that some packages also use the command (natbib is one example) 
and
then the last \AtBeginDocument  is placed closes to \begin{document}...

However, if this happens you have to try my other suggestion (the ERT box) or

Dear Richard

Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation!

Unfortunately, the suggested procedure was without effect: even after 
inserting/reconfiguring/loading the {no subfig} module, Lyx adds 
automatically the lines:


\@ifundefined{showcaptionsetup}{}{%

\PassOptionsToPackage{caption=false}{subfig}}

\usepackage{subfig}


Did it work on your Lyx configuration? I have Lyx 1.6.5 on Ubuntu 10.4

Your help is much appreciated!

Re: Can't create a pdf when the document contains a pdf in a mounted drive

Dear Stefano

Thanks a lot for checking and providing this information. The strange

Hi

Thanks to you Christopher, Paul and Richard for your answer! Sorry
if I did not thank earlier, I had not realised (not e-mail notif)
that you had replied! Below my answer

  You have a space in the path to the file.  Does it work if
you escape the space?

Or rename the file to eliminate it?  Linux sometimes doesn't
play well with filenames containing whitespace.

Chris Menzel


Unfortunately, it still does not work even when the path contains
no spaces. Also, it does not work neither with relative or
absolute paths. Most surpsisingly, it does not work even when I
put the .sty file in the temp file used by Lyx...

Do you have any idea how I can use a package that is not in the
texmf tree? I just tried adding this package:

http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/texmf/tex/latex/Sweave.sty

Do you have the same problem on your confugrations (mine is Lyx
1.5.6 on Ubuntu 10.4)?


Hi Mat,

I can offer no specific help, but I can confirm that loading packages 
outside of the texmf tree works for me when you specify the absolute 
path. I often use lines such as:
\usepackage{/home/stefano/Papers/The-paper-I-am-working-on/Package-file.sty} 



I am on Ubuntu 10.10 with Texlive 2010 and Lyx 1.5.8.

Have you thought about putting your packages in the local branch of 
the texmf tree, though? In my understanding,  ~/texmf is meant to be 
used for personal packages, customized versions of standard packages, 
etc. I had the habit of working with customized LaTeX code in the 
document´s directory, but I then switched to the local branch of the 
texmf tree and I think it works better. Less clutter, fewer 
possibilities of version conflicts, etcetera.


Cheer,

Stefano


Thanks a lot

Hi

Thanks to you Christopher, Paul and Richard for your answer! Sorry
if I did not thank earlier, I had not realised (not e-mail notif)
that you had replied! Below my answer

  You have a space in the path to the file.  Does it work if
you escape the space?

Or rename the file to eliminate it?  Linux sometimes doesn't
play well with filenames containing whitespace.

Chris Menzel


Unfortunately, it still does not work even when the path contains
no spaces. Also, it does not work neither with relative or
absolute paths. Most surpsisingly, it does not work even when I
put the .sty file in the temp file used by Lyx...

Do you have any idea how I can use a package that is not in the
texmf tree? I just tried adding this package:

http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/texmf/tex/latex/Sweave.sty

Do you have the same problem on your confugrations (mine is Lyx
1.5.6 on Ubuntu 10.4)?


Hi Mat,

I can offer no specific help, but I can confirm that loading packages 
outside of the texmf tree works for me when you specify the absolute 
path. I often use lines such as:
\usepackage{/home/stefano/Papers/The-paper-I-am-working-on/Package-file.sty} 



I am on Ubuntu 10.10 with Texlive 2010 and Lyx 1.5.8.

Have you thought about putting your packages in the local branch of 
the texmf tree, though? In my understanding,  ~/texmf is meant to be 
used for personal packages, customized versions of standard packages, 
etc. I had the habit of working with customized LaTeX code in the 
document´s directory, but I then switched to the local branch of the 
texmf tree and I think it works better. Less clutter, fewer 
possibilities of version conflicts, etcetera.


Cheer,

Stefano


Thanks a lot

Matthieu

[Matthieu Stigler]

Dear Stefano

Thanks a lot for checking and providing this information. The strange 
thing is that I use 1.6.5, so one should assume that if it is fine on 
1.5.8, it is fine on 1.6.5. Or are you actually in 1.6.8 (I think the 
default for Ubuntu 10.10)?


Thanks a lot

Beamer: using uncover has not same effect if in block or in itemize

I like to make text appearing on the same line in a second slide using

 While this is working when in enviro block, it is not in enviro

Beamer class: how to use \beamerdefaultoverlayspecification?

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hi

In beamer class, I like the itemize environment with the possibility
to display each point each at a time using the 1-, 2- etc... I
like it so much that I use it every time and would love to automatize
it. I found the command:

\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{+-}

whihc does that, but only inside a frame. If I write it in the
preamble, it does not affect anything...

I would love this command to be effective for all frames. Do I need to
redefine frame or is there something easier? Thanks!

That was effectively rather trivial, using the protected space did the trick!

using customised .sty package

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hello

I use the option Sweave to insert R code into my lyx documents. I like 
to modify the default sweave.sty to obtain customised features. When 
modified, I then just put the .sty file into the same folder as my .tex 
and run latex: so the customised one is used rather than the original 
.sty (well this work at least with package Sweave, I don't know if this 
is the proper way).


I would love to do it with lyx but the problem is it uses the default 
package even if I put the .syt package in the same folder as my .lyx 
file. The solution I found is to move myself the customised package into 
the tmp (on Linux) directory and then it works. But is there a way to do 
it automatically? I have lyx 1.5.5 and R 2.7 on Ubuntu 8.04


Thanks!

You can use (for example) Ctrl-Enter after your Title Environment

The image will be located in the title page after the Title.

As I wish to make something more complicate (a logo at the top, a 
picture at the bottom), I  tried to use the \begin{titlepage} 
environment. This works but not entirely since the pictures are printed 
whith pdflatex (version pdf of the pictures) but not with the postscript 
(version pdf of the pictures). And there is still a spacing problem, the 
first image comes at the middle and not at the top... maybe should I 
just forget this idea and make myself the first page in a usual 
environment and then see with the counting of the images?


Thank you!!

You can use (for example) Ctrl-Enter after your Title Environment
then InsertGraphics ...
The image will be located in the title page after the Title.

Gui acess to \nocite )

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hello

I just discovered Lyx and use it since twodays (really nice!) so excuse 
me if my question is dummy, but I did not find any answer in the manuals 
of forums.


Is there a Gui acess to \nocite? From the menu I have only access to 
\cite... should I make it through tex code insertion?


And I have the same question for the option \setlanguage... Is there 
actually a page on document which present all in Gui implemented Latex 
functions and those which you have towrite through Tex code?


Thank you very much!!

problem of font

[matthieu gaudet]

hi everybody,
something strange happens to my lyx.
I try to explain the best I can:
on the lyx page, the é became kh with the h underlines and the
F is now a little black door. there many other changes but I can't
enumerate all of them.
When I create the pdf files related to my document, everything is ok!

I tried to uninstall lyx and reinstall it. nothing change...

so my question is : Does anybody know how to make this stop?
that all.

thanks you.

Re: troubles converting to pdf [Partially solved]

[Matthieu Amiguet]

I go on answering my own questions, hoping that it will help somebody else.

  I'm using the book class and I've got no problem when exporting to ps.
  However, when exporting to pdf, I've got three problems:
 
  - Whenever my document contains a completely blank page, acroread
  complains There was an error processing this page. The page contents
  object has the wrong type. This only happens in windows, acroread in
  linux doesn't complain.


This seems to be a known bug in ghostscript. I think it is fixed in CVS, but 
not in any official release. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
BTW, the problem does not occur only on Windows,  it does occur with acroread 
versions 5.0 and above (and I have 4.x on my linux box). It seems that 
acroread 5.x is much more strict on pdf specs...

  - all pages are shifted a few centimeters towards the bottom of the page.
  Things near the bottom jump out of the page.

 Funny... this occurs only when I use the hyperref package.
 I've got the hyperref 6.71 version, which is loaded last in my preamble
 (when exported to latex, babel is loaded after that, but I've got no
 control on this).
 If this is relevant, I've got gs version 6.51


This is still not solved.

I guess I'm going to use good old ps for my thesis...

 - when converting to pdf, I've got the message
 dvips: Warning: missing glyph `guillemotleft'

 ... And the french double quotes  and  don't display in the pdf file.


I found out that I've got to use the aeguill package too. Perhaps this

Itemize in table

[Matthieu Amiguet]

Dear lyx users,

I'm trying to have an itemize environement inside a table cell; I tried 
several things and I'm getting a little bit confused.

- If I'm in a table cell, I cannot change the environment style
- I tried to select Use minipage in the cell dialog, which allowed me to 
use environements; however, I got unwanted space at the end of the cell. 
Moreover, I'm not able to reproduce this now (the minipage option is 
disabled).
- If I deselect minipage in a cell that was a minipage, the environement 
stays and the spacing is correct; but I guess this is not a clean way of 
doing it...

So I wonder if this is possible and how to do it properly...

Thank you,

Re: determining next style

[Matthieu Amiguet]

 However, a nice feature would be something to force keeping the previous 
   paragraph environment (though having said that, the defaults are 
 usually pretty logical).  You could bind it to something like M-Enter 
 (by analogy with C-Enter for a line-break within the current environment).

Wonderful idea... but just try it out: it's already there! at least it works 
for me: M-enter preserves the environment type and the nesting depth.

bad caracter in math label

[kretzschmar matthieu]

Hi all,

I use to put the label of my equations in this form:

'toto_eq1'

and then to call it with the cross refrence menu.

But when I close and re-open my Lyx file, this label become:

'toto_{e}q1' 

and my reference can no more find the label.

I decided to change all my label in 'toto:eq1' and now it works. but I
guess it should something to be corrected ..

disable graphic display

[kretzschmar matthieu]

Hi all,

I can not disable the graphics display within Lyx. 
Because I have many ps figure in it, it causes some big troubles when
Lyx loads them.

I first tried to put don't display in 'preference' menu. Then I can
see the change in my '~/.lyx/preference' file, but it doesn't change
anything when using Lyx.

I tried something else: 
I have created a lyxrc file with the line:

\ps_commande 

hoping that lyx can not find the ps viewer, but this doesn't work
either.

Actually, the only way I found to prevent Lyx to display my graphics
is to select each figure (in lyx) and then put the Lyx view-Screen
Display field to

Don't display

or

Default. (when don't display in 'preference' menu is active)

Does someone have an easier way to do it ?

Is it a general bug or am I just stupid ?

Pease, help me to answer these questions...

see the change in my '~/.lyx/preference' file, but it doesn't change
anything when using Lyx.

I tried something else: 
I have created a lyxrc file with the line:

\ps_commande ""

hoping that lyx can not find the ps viewer, but this doesn't work
either.

Actually, the only way I found to prevent Lyx to display my graphics
is to select each figure (in lyx) and then put the "Lyx view"->Screen
Display field to

Don't display

or

Default. (when "don't display" in 'preference' menu is active)

Does someone have an easier way to do it ?

Is it a general bug or am I just stupid ?

Pease, help me to answer these questions...

re: Removing some prefs options (poll)

[Matthieu Amiguet]

 Speak now, or forever hold your peace, if you use either
 
 1. Lastfiles number of files shown. This is currently configurable
 between 4 and 9. Does anybody actually have this configured  differently
 from the default, and if so, please tell me why.

I wrote quite a lot of little reports or articles recently, and as I'm 
writing my thesis now, I'm copy-pasting from all of them...
I don't want to open them all at lyx startup (so command-line is not an 
option) and since they are in different directories, it makes a lot of 
browsing through the file-open dialog.
I increased the lastfiles number to 9 and would not be against an increase in 
the max possible number...

Best regards,

Matthieu

Error creating pixmap from xpm_image

[Matthieu Amiguet]

I compiled lyx 1.2.0 on YellowDogLinux 2.0 (ppc processor) without problem. 
It works very well, except that I cannot view any graphics in the lyx window.
I get the following error

Error creating pixmap from xpm_image 'XpmColorFailed'

and in lyx the picture box displays

Error scaling etc

Everything else works great and starting lyx with the graphics-debug option 
(-dbg 2097152) does not give other errors.
The .ps output is correct.
Any idea?

BTW, the new version is great. A huge thank you to the developers team.

 Upgrade your version of ImageMagick (convert), or use a different
 program to convert your images, or use a version of xforms with an
 internal image loader capability.

I've got ImageMagick-5.2.7-2.
On my laptop, I've got Image-Magick-5.2.6-4, whcih seems older, and it works. 
Does the problem really come from ImageMagick?
NB: convert seems to work, at least partially, as I get

Image conversion succeeded.
Loading image.
Image loading succeeded.

If this is a version problem, what version should I use?
