Re: Which drawing program?

2002-11-08 Thread Peter Martin
I have used Dia with great success. One feature is that it is cross
platform, so people who don't use Linux (many corporations and some of my
clients) can also use it to view/create diagrams in Windoze. It comes with
several pre-defined libraries for UML, flowcharts etc which makes it easy to
produce standard business or technical diagrams.

It creates postscript (amongst other formats) which can be digested by LyX.
It also supports many fonts so the text looks quite reasonable.

Re: Help about Lyx and Latex

2002-11-06 Thread Peter Martin
Raul,

Firstly, sorry for confusing you with llncs.sty!. I really meant llncs.cls.
Anyway, here is what I did to get the llncs style working. I assume that you
are working on linux.

1. As root, install the attached llncs.cls file (also available at the
springer web site) into /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base
2. Run texhash
3. As your normal (not root) user, start LyX and run Edit-reconfigure. If
you look in the console output, you should see llncs being recognised
4. Close Lyx and restart Lyx.
5. Open your document and set the document style to 'Springer lecture notes
in comp sci.'
6. When you view as postscript, the output should look just like a Springer
llncs paper.
7 To export, choose Latex. You will get a filename.tex file in the
directory where the filename.lyx file resides.

To check that this is OK, run LaTeX on filename.tex (you may need to run
lLaTeX more than once) and then use xdvi to check that your output is as
expected.

The filename.tex file is the one you want to send to the editor, together
with the fiels used for the figures.

Hope this helps

Pete

 Hello again and thanks a lot for your help.
 Nevertheless I don't understand very well a thing. Let's see:

   *I have my document in LYX with the figures, tables
   **I have the llncs.layout you attatched me (which is the same I have in
 my Linux:  /usr/share/lyx/layouts/llncs.layout).
   ***You say in your mail : Use the standard llncs.sty file with this
  layout and export your document as LaTeX. I have connected to
  ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/; and I have
  downloaded the file llncsdoc.sty.
   When I have the .sty and .layout files... I don't know how can I
   export the document as LaTeX from LyX. Before to use File -
   Export as.. in LyXmust I put llncsdoc.sty in any particular
   directory?.

 Thanks again for your help.

   Hello,
 I have written a paper in LYX 1.1.6fix4 (under Linux). The thing is
that
   actually I need make a document in Latex using a specific template
(the
   Springer class file llncs.cls). When I export the lyx document
   to Latex in Lyx 1.1.6 I get a file .tex but it is not the same as the
   template.
   My question is: How could I translate my .lyx document from LYX to
this
  template?
  
   Thanks a lot for your help.
  
   Yours sincerely,
