Re: Where does lyx search for files? Cant get to work ANYTHING with Lyx

[peter kint]

 
 Ubuntu 9.10 repository provides texlive-2007 .deb packages. They are old.
 Installing the new texlive-2009 (it includes circuitikz) is a good thing.
 
 Here is a quickinstall
 http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html 
 where you can read
 - 'How to acquire the software'
 (http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html e.g downloading the iso
 or installing over the internet)
 - 'Running the installer' or 'GUI installer' and
 - 'Post-install: setting the PATH' (it's essential: see 3.4.3/3.4.4 in the
 full info page http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html)
 
 By default, the texlive-2009 bundle is installed on
 /usr/local/texlive 
 
 (There is no need of deinstalling the old .deb packages, however
 they are not used anymore.)

Hey thx,
This sounds like music to me.
I had read the quickinstall already, but I get stuck on the POST-INSTALL part
What command should I give?

Re: Where does lyx search for files? Cant get to work ANYTHING with Lyx

[peter kint]

 The directory of the binaries for your platform must be added to
 the search path. 
 Are you a single user? Then you can add the following lines
 
 PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH
 MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH
 INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH
 
 [in your case it will be '/i686' instead '/x86_64-linux' ;)]
 
 in the file .bashrc of your home folder. (e.g., open with
 gedit /home/your_user/.bashrc) (This is my case in Ubuntu 9.10; if it
 doesn't work for you, try the .profile file)
 
 Testing the installation: type in a terminal
 
   tex --version
 
 This is my output:
 $ tex --version
TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009)
kpathsea version 5.0.0
Copyright 2009 D.E. Knuth.
...
Primary author of TeX: D.E. Knuth.
 
 Now all is OK, hope! 
 
 Ignacio

Thx very much for your help!
Just one more question (as I'm afraid to mess up):

I am about to type i (for installation) and I see in the output the following:

D directories:
   TEXDIR (the main TeX directory):
 !! default location: /usr/local/texlive/2009
 !! is not writable, please select a different one!

Should I first create this directory (it isn't there yet) or will the install
program to that for me?

Happy X-mas!

 Then the installation to LaTeX was not successful. When you are on Windows,
use the MiKTeX package 
 manager to install ciruitikz. When you are using TeXLive 2008 or newer use the
TeXLive package manager.

 You need a good internet connection

 3.) create a directory /usr/local/texlive

to not be forced to
  change to be a root-user when installing or updating
 5.) cd install-tl-*

But I have a workin internet connection...

What does your step 5) mean? Should I type 'cd install-tl-unx.tar.gz'

 LyX *doesn't* search for these things: LaTeX does. So it appears LaTeX

 what needs doing for installing the LaTeX package?

Thx for replying.
I am on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) (for 3 months , before : windows)
I'mworking a lot wiyh Lyx and pgf/tikz includes. Up to now, everything worked
+/- fine.
I dont know if I messed up with Latex... Should I restart from scratch maybe?
And if so: how to clean? how to restart?

 Then the installation to LaTeX was not successful. When you are on Windows,
use the MiKTeX package 
 manager to install ciruitikz. When you are using TeXLive 2008 or newer use the
TeXLive package manager.

I looked it up .I'm on Linux/Ubuntu9.10,now for three monts.
I should use command tlmgr, right?
He tells me I havent got this command

Maybe I should start from scratch, or is that not necessary?

GNUPLOT in Lyx? = How to allow Latex to call external programs?

[peter kint]

Hi,
I'm trying to gete PGF/Tikz compiled in Lyx for my mathematical illustrations.
For some functions, Latex must call external functions like GNUPLOT.

The solution is described below:

% PGF/Tikz doesn't support the following mathematical functions:
% tan, cosh, acosh, sinh, asinh, tanh, atanh
% Plotting will be done using GNUPLOT
% GNUPLOT must be installed and you must allow Latex to call external programs 
by
% Adding the following option to your compiler
% shell-escapeORenable-write18 
% Example: pdflatex --shell-escape file.tex 

How do I do this? How do I add this option to my compiler?

gnuplot in Lyx not working?

Hi,

I'm trying to make mathematical graphs in my Lyx documents.

In the pgf/tikz manual on p 224 is the following code/example:

\begin{tikzpicture}[domain=0:4]
  \draw[very thin,color=gray] (-0.1,-1.1) grid (3.9,3.9);
  \draw[-] (-0.2,0) -- (4.2,0) node[right] {$x$};
  \draw[-] (0,-1.2) -- (0,4.2) node[above] {$f(x)$};
  \draw[color=red]plot[id=x]   function{x}   node[right] {$f(x) 
=x$};
  \draw[color=blue]   plot[id=sin] function{sin(x)}   node[right] {$f(x) = 
\sin x$};
  \draw[color=orange] plot[id=exp] function{0.05*exp(x)} node[right] {$f(x) = 
\frac{1}{20} \mathrm e^x$};
\end{tikzpicture}


When I include it in a box in my Lyx document (InsertFileChild Document) I 
get a very incomplete and crippled output.

How can I get this working properly??

 What error messages do you get? Could you post an example file?

Example (InsertFileChild Document 'probeersel.tex')
\begin{tikzpicture}[domain=0:4]
  \draw[very thin,color=gray] (-0.1,-1.1) grid (3.9,3.9);
  \draw[-] (-0.2,0) -- (4.2,0) node[right] {$x$};
  \draw[-] (0,-1.2) -- (0,4.2) node[above] {$f(x)$};
  \draw[color=red]plot[id=x]   function{x}  node[right] {$f(x) =x$};
  \draw[color=blue] plot[id=sin] function{sin(x)} node[right] {$f(x) = \sin x$};
  \draw[color=orange] plot[id=exp] function{0.05*exp(x)} 
node[right] {$f(x) = \frac{1}{20} \mathrm e^x$};
\end{tikzpicture}

I get no errors, only a couple of warnings in my Latex Log(which I suspect are
related):

 ...
 system(gnuplot probeersel.x.gnuplot)...disabled.
 Package pgf Warning: Plot data file `probeersel.x.table' not found. on input li
 ne 5.
 \openout3 = `probeersel.sin.gnuplot'.
 system(gnuplot probeersel.sin.gnuplot)...disabled.
 Package pgf Warning: Plot data file `probeersel.sin.table' not found. on input 
 line 6.
 \openout3 = `probeersel.exp.gnuplot'.
 system(gnuplot probeersel.exp.gnuplot)...disabled.
 Package pgf Warning: Plot data file `probeersel.exp.table' not found. on input 
 line 7.

The output (pdflatex) contains only a grid, x-axis and y-axis, labels printed
all over each other and NO CURVES. Pretty sad...:-)

Thx again for answering.

gnuplot in Lyx not working?

[Peter Kint]

Hi,

I'm trying to make mathematical graphs in my Lyx documents.

In the pgf/tikz manual on p 224 is the following code/example:

\begin{tikzpicture}[domain=0:4]
  \draw[very thin,color=gray] (-0.1,-1.1) grid (3.9,3.9);
  \draw[-] (-0.2,0) -- (4.2,0) node[right] {$x$};
  \draw[-] (0,-1.2) -- (0,4.2) node[above] {$f(x)$};
  \draw[color=red]plot[id=x]   function{x}   node[right] {$f(x) 
=x$};
  \draw[color=blue]   plot[id=sin] function{sin(x)}   node[right] {$f(x) = 
\sin x$};
  \draw[color=orange] plot[id=exp] function{0.05*exp(x)} node[right] {$f(x) = 
\frac{1}{20} \mathrm e^x$};
\end{tikzpicture}


When I include it in a box in my Lyx document (InsertFileChild Document) I 
get a very incomplete and crippled output.

How can I get this working properly??

Thx for reading.

 Did you load the necessary pgf/tikz packages in the preamble?
