 PDF, PNG, and JPG need conversion for DVI, PS (dvips), and PDF
 (ps2pdf)
 but not PDF (pdflatex).  

 In addition to a missing converter, the reason may be the DVI viewer.
 Are the images present if you view the PS?  

Sorry again for the long delay before answering...

ImageMagick and Ghostscript are present on the netbook. I can't see the
preview in Postscript, Evince tries to load with the word LOADING
without any results... But, like I said earlier, no problem to view the
pdf view.

Well, previewing in pdf is not so long to wait for after all, so I just
have to get used to Ctrl+R instead of Ctrl+D as shortcut ;-) !

The pdf output shows graphics perfectly and any final pdf output is OK

Re: importing spreadsheet rows and columns

2008-05-19 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Importing a spreadsheet is something I very often do in LyX but I use
quite a different way!

Usually my finished product is a pdf file, harder to edit and
respecting exactly the formatting I want.

Here is what I do in a few words: printing the spreadsheet table in a
Postscript file, convert it in encapsulated Postscript (eps or epsi)
and insert it as an image in LyX. When exported in pdf, the fonts are
embedded, the table is exactly as it was in the spreadsheet and, as it
is vectorial, il can fit any space I want in the page.

So here is what I do:

1. print the spreadsheet table in a file, be sure to avoid header or
footer unless you really need them;

2. convert the printed ps file in eps format in a terminal:
   ps2epsi the_printed_file.ps

3. the table is cropped precisely in the epsi file with ps2epsi, if you
leave a header then the header will be part of the cropped table, don't
forget it!

4. In LyX, simply insert the eps file as an image. Don't forget to keep
the ratio while giving the wanted width or height of the table.

5. Export the resulting LyX file in pdf and voilà !

Try to be uniform while creating the table, respect the look and feel
of the document you want to insert the table into, especially use the
same font.

This way of doing things can be done also directly by inserting a pdf
file in the LyX document (using ERT), but I prefer the eps way as it
gives me more control easyly.

Re: LyX Qt under Gnome environment

2008-01-17 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Le jeudi 17 janvier 2008 08:20:09 +0100
Guido Milanese [EMAIL PROTECTED] écrivait :
Questions:
 (1) is compilation on Ubuntu difficult? I thinks that compiling and
 installing manually should avoid the problem I mentioned;
 (2) if (1) is not practical, can anyone suggest all the symlink that
 I should set up to persuade Synaptic that I have already a TeX system
 running?

1. Compilation would probably be your best choice. The only thing is to
have all the necessary packages already installed. These packages have
-dev in their name.

a) first, desinstall your old LyX: sudo apt-get remove lyx lyx-common
b) download lyx_1.5.3 sources and decompress in a temporary repertory
   tar xvfj /home/yourname/tmp/lyx-1.5.3.tar.bz2
c) cd tmp/lyx-1.5.3
d) you may read the install instructions: less INSTALL (q to quit)
e) be sure you have everything to compile, this means for LyX-Qt:
   sudo apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-dev qt4-qtconfig python-qt4
   python-qt4-dev build-essential
I may forget other packages...
f) ./configure --prefix=/usr
   don't forget the dot before /configure, the --prefix=/usr switch is
   for an installation in the same directory as it was in Ubuntu 7.10
g) if everything is OK, you will see the message inviting you to
   continue by typing make
   otherwise, an error message will probably cite the name of the
   missing library, install it with sudo apt-get install thename AND
   press Tab for suggestion and auto-completion, take the -dev package
h) a compilation is OK when it ends with these words (or similar):
   Leaving xyz directory
   Nothing to be done for all.
i) Finally you have 2 choices for installation:
   1- sudo make install
  and hop it goes! You will have to add LyX manually in your menu.
   2- sudo checkinstall (but you have to install before checkinstall by
  typing sudo apt-get install checkinstall)
  checkinstall will create a .deb package of LyX 1.5.3. This wy it
  is very easy to uninstall or install on a similar system.

I understand that a checkinstall package is not a .deb with the rules
of art, but for your own use, it is usefull and easy. You can safely
erase all the files in /tmp/lyx... except the lyx-1.5.3 deb file that
you just create. If you never compile LyX before, be patient, it may
take 10 to 30 minutes depending of your PC.

Good luck!

LyX Qt under Gnome environment

2008-01-15 Thread Raymond Ouellette
I compiled LyX 1.5.3 for my Linux distro Ubuntu 7.10.

I'm a long time user of LyX. But since QT4 version of LyX, it is
impossible for me to select anything using my mouse in LyX. Even
selecting with the cursor, holding shift, etc, has erratic behavior.

The mouse select something, shade in blue, then diseapers without
selecting anything.

I checked in KDE 3.5.x and there is no problem.

So this behavior is Gnome specific. Someone else has this problem?

p.s. If necessary, I can upload my deb package of LyX 1.5.3 for the ftp

LyX 1.5.0 beta1 and UTF-8 copy/paste

2007-03-25 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Québec, le 25 mars 2007

I compiled and installed LyX 1.5.0 beta1 on Ubuntu 6.10. It seems a
little faster than 1.4 series. I wanted to try it especially for UTF-8
as Ubuntu 6.10 is UTF-8 based by default (like all modern linux
distros).

A copy/paste from another application (Gedit, Firefox, etc) to LyX
gives me garbage for every diacritic sign (accented letters, ç, etc). I
thought that a copy from UTF-8 to UTF-8 application would be easier :-( 

There are other annoyances in LyX 1.5.0 beta1 (QT4):

- using the mouse to select a word, a few words or even a paragraph
often fails, the beginning of the mouse selection or the ending
selection are often forgotten with Gnome 2.16 (and the behavior is
worst if you use Beryl);

- I can import any other LyX files but I can't export to any previous
version of LyX, I'm having this message:
«Une erreur s'est produite lors de l'exécution de python -tt
'/usr/share/lyx-1.5.0beta1/lyx2lyx/lyx2.»
Indicating that an error occured while executing python;

- Previewing a file in the dvi viewer sometimes doesn't work, I'm
having such a message:
«Fichier
inexistant : /tmp/lyx_tmpdir12244R5TMCz/lyx_tmpbuf1/blabla.dvi»
or Inexistant File: /tmp...blabla.dvi as if LyX looses the dvi
temporary file

I know this is a beta. Am I alone with these problems?

OpenOffice vs. LyX

2007-01-23 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Lundi le 22 janvier 2007 21:01:08 -0800 Steve Litt écrivait :
[...]
 I was considering switching to OpenOffice because of the excessive
 effort in creating/modifying styles in LyX. So as an experiment, I
 began making a derivative, in OpenOffice, of a book I originally
 wrote using MS Word.

Ah, Steve wrote I originally wrote using MS Word so I guess that you
imported in OOo your original MS Word document. By doing so, you
imported styles that you created in MS Word and automated MS Word
styles in OOo. These styles are working differently, I'm really not
surprised of your messy results!

Like in LyX, if you really want to import a text from another tool, it
is better to simply import the text and to manually create or use OOo
styles. There is even an overcharged styles suppressor (éradicateur de
surcharges in french) to help you, you may find it at
http://www.indesko.com/telechargements/eradicateur_de_surch

While I REALLY enjoy LyX for a lot of works, I find OOo quite useful
too and very stable. I prefer OOWriter to MS Word for it's strong
styles behavior and because OOo is Open ;-) ! Don't call OOo crap,
learn to use it correctly like you once learned me to use LyX more
efficiently in http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm.

Lyx 143 on kubuntu dapper much slower than on Suse 9.1

2006-10-29 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Québec, le 29 octobre 2006

Robert Neumann écrivait :
 Everything works fine but my computer (notebook samsung x20, Centrino
 1,6 MHZ) now needs about 3 times the time to export my lyx file to
 pdf. I have files with approx. 300 pages with approx 60 eps figures,
 it used to be 8 sec. now it is about 30 sec.

I don't think LyX is in fault here, take a look to your pdf converters.

Menu - Tools - Settings (I guess, last choice in the bottom,
«Préférences» in french) - Converters

depending of your way to convert to pdf (in File - Export there is 3
different ways to export to pdf) you will see which converter is used.
If ps2pdf is choosen, take a look to ps2pdf (it's simply a batch file
in /usr/bin) and check it's options.

SuSE may use different options; for exemple, if /screen is selected
instead of /prepress, the conversion to pdf will be faster but the
quality is less.

Well, I hope this is a good hint!

French And ubuntu dapper

2006-09-06 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Le vendredi 1er septembre 2006 à 08:41:05 -0700 minet écrivait :

 I install Lyx 1.4.2 with a package named lyx-1.4.2_1.4.2-1_i386.deb
 [...] It works in french except for the menu bar where the accent are
 lost.

Here is another solution that works well for me (Ubuntu Dapper)

Edit as root (sudo) /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local which is the
file read to generate your locales in Ubuntu Dapper. I suggest these
lines to be ajusted following your own locales. For someone in Québec,
it is :

fr_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_CA ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

for someone in France it may be:

fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_FR ISO-8859-15
fr_FR ISO-8859-1
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8

save the file and, in a terminal, type

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Finally, to launch LyX you type this command

LANG=fr_CA;lyx
if your locale is fr_CA or
LANG=fr_FR;lyx
if your locale is fr_FR

to make permanent this command, you may edit your menu, create an icon
with the command or edit your .bashrc by adding this alias

alias lyx='LANG=fr_CA;lyx'

Don't forget to adjust your french locale according to your country
code (FR, CA, BE, CH) in all the above. fr_CA ISO-8859-15 doesn't seem
to work nor can be generated, that's why it is absent from the
file /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local.

French And ubuntu dapper

2006-09-06 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Le vendredi 1er septembre 2006 à 08:41:05 -0700 minet écrivait :

> I install Lyx 1.4.2 with a package named lyx-1.4.2_1.4.2-1_i386.deb
> [...] It works in french except for the menu bar where the accent are
> lost.

Here is another solution that works well for me (Ubuntu Dapper)

Edit as root (sudo) /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local which is the
file read to generate your locales in Ubuntu Dapper. I suggest these
lines to be ajusted following your own locales. For someone in Québec,
it is :

fr_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_CA ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

for someone in France it may be:

fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_FR ISO-8859-15
fr_FR ISO-8859-1
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8

save the file and, in a terminal, type

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Finally, to launch LyX you type this command

LANG=fr_CA;lyx
if your locale is fr_CA or
LANG=fr_FR;lyx
if your locale is fr_FR

to make permanent this command, you may edit your menu, create an icon
with the command or edit your .bashrc by adding this alias

alias lyx='LANG=fr_CA;lyx'

Don't forget to adjust your french locale according to your country
code (FR, CA, BE, CH) in all the above. fr_CA ISO-8859-15 doesn't seem
to work nor can be generated, that's why it is absent from the
file /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local.

Re: Presentations using LyX

2005-10-13 Thread Raymond Ouellette
I'm using LyX and Beamer class these days for a presentation of Gimp 2.2.x. The 
result is great by the way! To add special effects I also use minipages in 
slides (or frames)

As for svg graphics here is my solution:

I inserted 2 small identical images, the first one is svg and the other is png 
generated from Inkscape (older Sodipodi would do the same) to illustrate the 
differences between vector and bitmap graphics. Beamer uses pdflatex as 
converter and it manages very well pdf pages.

I created with Scribus [http://www.scribus.net/] a small pdf pages (19mmx25mm) 
in which I inserted both images scaled to 17mmx20mm; I added the words 
vectoriel (vector) and matriciel (bitmap) with a 4pt Bitstream Vera font over 
each image. The choice of such a small page (correct me if I'm wrong) is 
because Beamer works with slides 96mmx128mm.

I added the small pdf page with this ERT:
\includegraphics [scale=1]{thepage.pdf}

You can scale to the wanted size, I added the option in the ERT so that you may 
use this possibility.

Finally, when you view your final presentation (in pdf format), you can view it 
fullscreen even with xpdf (3.01 is the version I use) this way:

xpdf -fullscreen presentation.pdf

But, if you use Acrobat Reader, be aware of this hidden trick: press z when a 
page is shown to switch to the zoom mode, Ctrl+= will zoom in, Ctrl+- will zoom 
out, and Ctrl+0 will go back to the original fullscreen size. Once the page is 
zoomed, you can mouve around the page by dragging with the mouse with the left 
button pressed.

Symbol in ERT

2005-10-11 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Québec, le 11 octobre 2005

I'm using beamer class for a pdf presentation of Gimp next week. In a slide, I 
use a block box written using ERT. My problem is that I want to insert a right 
triangle to mimic a right arrow. The symbol is \triangleright but I dont't know 
how to insert it inside the ERT?

Here is the ERT text of the box:

\begin{block}2-{La technique du calque désaturé et inversé}
\begin{enumerate}
\item faire un double du calque, le travail se fait à partir du double
\item Calque - Couleurs - Désaturer

[blabla]

\end{enumerate}
\end{block}


I want to relace - with \triangleright between Calque, Couleurs and 
Désaturer but then LyX refuses to compile the pdf.

There is an option, when you insert a picture, to rotate by a ceertain amount

Otherwise, export your picture (or print it in a file) in Postscript;
Do a ps2eps (or ps2epsi depending of your Linux distro) your_file.ps

Re: KDE upgrade + accents

I had this problem (and I was the one that posted it 3 weeks ago -- see this post: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg34837.html). It was with Mandrake 
10.0 Official and KDE's own Mandrake RPM. Some apps had the problem, other not. For 
example, no dead keys accent with LyX, Scribus and Kwriter but no problem with 
OpenOffice.org, Kspread or Kate.

I went back to KDE 3.2 on Mandrake.

But I tried the move to KDE 3.3 on Slackware 10 (tgz packages) and everything went 
fine, the dead keys are doing their job on my ca_enhanced keyboard (French Canadian).

So? Problems with Mandrake and Suse?

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

then the command rpm --rebuild lyx-1.3.1-1-qt.src.rpm will proceed correctly (it's

LyX 1.3.0-Qt no paragraph vertical spacing fill

2003-03-11 Thread Raymond Ouellette
I compiled and installed both Qt and XForm version of LyX 1.3.0 a few weeks ago.

Qt version is really pleasing to use and the viisual comfort with aa fonts is great.

I do have 2 small concerns.

1. There are some not translated options in the different combo boxes (I use it in 
french) -- if I note the different missing sentences, who must be advised? This 
problem occurs in both version (Qt and XForm).

2. Only in Qt version: you can't do a vertical space fill for a paragraph, it doesn't 
work. Selecting « ressort vertical » (vertical fill I guess in the english text) does 
nothing. The other options work. I had to use \vspace{\fill} in ERT to get my 
paragraph pushed at the bottom of the page.

Lyx 1.3.0 and Mandrake 9.0

2003-02-13 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Harmel écrivait :

On Mandrake 9.0 - the error i can't find qt 2.2.1

Is is probably an error in the spec file of the rpm. I had the same message with the 
QT rpm on lyx.org, so I decided to compile from the LyX-QT.src.rpm but I got the same 
message.

You simply have to install it from a console (as root) like this:

rpm -Uvh lyx-1.3.0-1qt.i586.rpm --nodeps

so that rpm won't complain about the version of QT.

LyX-QT 1.3.0 works very well on Mandrake 9.0 and the GUI is nice. I only found that a 
few messages in different combo boxes are not translated (I use it in french).

Inserting an URL: not anyone?

2003-01-21 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Using LyX 1.2.2 (my last compile of 1.2.3 src.rpm failed :-() I noticed this problem:
I can't insert in a LyX document an URL if it contains certain characters.

http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E73%257E1123977,00.html

The above URL, for exemple, when inserted in a LyX document, makes LyX refuse to 
produce anything -- I got the message « LyX a produit un document vide » or LyX 
produced an empty document. It is the second time I notice this behavior, and I 
suspect that the URL must contain invalid characters for LyX (or LaTeX)? Maybe the 
comma ?

Am I wrong?

Trying to upgrade from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2

2003-01-07 Thread Raymond Ouellette
Rich Shepard écrivait :

 I've not run LyX since I upgraded my network to RH 7.3 last autumn. I just
fired it up to write an article and the fonts look terrible: all jagged.

Try using true type fonts in LyX GUI. These fonts are used ONLY in the GUI, not in the 
document in itself! My LyX appears in french, but I guess it will be in Edit - 
Preferences - Screen fonts and put something like

Roman: -monotype-times new roman
Sans empattement: -monotype-arial
Chasse fixe: -monotype-courier new

if times new roman, arial and courier ttf fonts are installed and available in your X 
installation.


 So, I thought that I'd upgrade from 1.2.1. to 1.2.2. However, ./configure fails...

You are probably missing libforms-devel-1.0-release.i586.rpm for your compilation. The 
-devel rpm holds the necessary headers files for compiling. I compile from rpm sources 
libforms-1.0-release and lyx-1.2.2-1.src.rpm on a PIII-450 under Mandrake 9.0, it took 
around 10 minutes for libforms and an hour for LyX (rpm --rebuild).

No images preview in LyX 1.1.6-8mdk and pdf 1.3 instead of 1.2

2001-12-13 Thread Raymond Ouellette

I'm using LyX since 15 months, what a great tool!
I have two questions.


1- I recently upgraded to Mandrake Linux 8.1 which includes LyX 1.1.6fix3 (July 24th). 
Almost everything is fine and Ghostscript 6.51 works OK too. DVI, PDF, XDVI, 
everything work except that LyX can't preview any images whether they are black and 
white, level of grey or color. I can preview any images in the DVI or Postscript 
preview but not directly inside LyX as before.

I tried to replace LyX 1.1.6-8mdk with lyx.org's 1.1.6fix3 (even if it is suposed to 
be the same version) but the behavior stays the same. Am I alone with this problem?

2- How can I produced 1.3 pdf instead pf the default 1.2 from whithin LyX?

Thank's for your time, I really appreciate this list that I read everyday.

cvs 1.2 and 1.1.6fix3 on the same box?

Is it possible to install both cvs 1.2 and LyX 1.1.6fix3 on the same box?
I downloaded yesterday cvs 1.2 and I want to give it a try but I want to be sure that 
files created with cvs 1.2 can be opened by 1.1.6fix3. Furthermore, I want to test 1.2 
before removing 1.1.6fix 3 if it worths it...

A suggestion or a wish?

2001-04-30 Thread Raymond Ouellette

I'm using LyX since a few months and I appreciate it very much. It's
quite different when you are a WordPerfect user since version 4.2 for
DOS!

There is one thing I really missed in LyX, the reveal code window.

As I understand LyX, it is a front end to LaTeX, much of the codes are
hidden. But you can add TeX codes anywhere or anywhen. Would'nt it be
nice to see the hidden codes: you can learn them, you can modify them,
you get more control over your document.

Is this idea beyond the philosophy of LyX?

2 columns document with columns of different width

2001-02-22 Thread Raymond Ouellette

I would like to know if it is possible to create a document wich has 2
columns of different width, for exemple a wide column at the right side
of the page, approx 13 cm wide, and a smaller one of 4 cm at the left
side. The main text would be in the main column, and the left column
would be used only for section or subsections titles, tables titles, or
figures titles.

I tried with a reverse margin note but I lost the result if I change the
basic font of the document from time to helvetica for instance.

I'm responsible for Education Bulletins where I work and I would like to
give a try to LyX for documents such as this one:
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15.pdf (225 ko in

Re: 2 columns document with columns of different width,

2001-02-22 Thread Raymond Ouellette

[fichier joint : testmarge.lyx 13020 octets]

I enclosed with this email a test lyx file with the reverse margin note.
It works with times fonts, but if I try to change the entire document to
helvetica fonts (Format--Document--Font properties) nothing happens.

I then select all the text and I do Format--Caracters--Font Family
changing it to SanSerif then I loose the reverse margin note that places
itself on the right side. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: 2 columns document with columns of different width,

[fichier joint : testmarge.lyx 13020 octets]

I enclosed with this email a test lyx file with the reverse margin note.
It works with times fonts, but if I try to change the entire document to
helvetica fonts (Format--Document--Font properties) nothing happens.

I then select all the text and I do Format--Caracters--Font Family
changing it to SanSerif then I loose the reverse margin note that places
itself on the right side. Am I doing something wrong?

2 columns document with columns of different width

2001-02-22 Thread Raymond Ouellette

I would like to know if it is possible to create a document wich has 2
columns of different width, for exemple a wide column at the right side
of the page, approx 13 cm wide, and a smaller one of 4 cm at the left
side. The main text would be in the main column, and the left column
would be used only for section or subsections titles, tables titles, or
figures titles.

I tried with a reverse margin note but I lost the result if I change the
basic font of the document from time to helvetica for instance.

I'm responsible for Education Bulletins where I work and I would like to
give a try to LyX for documents such as this one:
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15.pdf (225 ko in
french) or
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15an.pdf (177 ko
translated in english).
