 I have to correct myself. xforms also does not update (at least not always. 
 Sometimes it does, but I haven't yet figured out why).

If a template has settings that differ from the class defaults, I would
really not like it to be overwritten!

IMHO, the bug is in not separating *compulsory* and *configurable* class
options.

With preamble commands, I have the choice to put them in a
  Preamble
  EndPreamble
clause and have them hidden from the user.  

With options, I did not found a similar clause. ClassOptions are always
user-configurable.

The bug in seminar.layout is, that it defines the styles

Style SlideHeading and
Style SlideSubHeading

while there is a possibility that the user overrides the default choice of

ClassOptions
Other slidesec
End

but I currently see no solution (other than depriving the user of the
SlideHeading and SlideSubHeading styles).

BTW: the same bug is in the seminar.layout provided with LyX.

 Hello:
 
 Seminar document class does not work properly in LyX 1.2.1. But it works
 properly in LaTeX. So, there is nothing wrong with the document class.
 But the layout given with LyX 1.2.1 appears to be defective.
 
 Earlier many people have reported the same problem on this list and
 somebody had suggested to use the seminar layout file available at
 http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/seminar.layout. I tried this
 layout file also and found it not working properly.
 
 Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem.I am running LyX 1.2.1 on
 Mandrake Linux 8.2.

You can try the seminar layout from the LyX ftp server, look under

   ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/seminar.tar.gz

It was done for 1.1.6, but should work with 1.2.1. too.

However, it has different names for the environments and a different
approach, so be sure to read the template that comes with it and adapt your
document...

Please tell me about any problems or success...

  Hello:
  
  Seminar document class does not work properly in LyX 1.2.1. But it works
  properly in LaTeX. So, there is nothing wrong with the document class.
  But the layout given with LyX 1.2.1 appears to be defective.
  
  Earlier many people have reported the same problem on this list and
  somebody had suggested to use the seminar layout file available at
  http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/seminar.layout. I tried this
  layout file also and found it not working properly.
  
  Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem.I am running LyX 1.2.1 on
  Mandrake Linux 8.2.
 
 You can try the seminar layout from the LyX ftp server, look under
 
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/seminar.tar.gz
 
 It was done for 1.1.6, but should work with 1.2.1. too.
 
 However, it has different names for the environments and a different
 approach, so be sure to read the template that comes with it and adapt your
 document...
 
 Please tell me about any problems or success...

Hello: 

I tried the layout available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/seminar.tar.gz. But it is not working
properly in LyX 1.2.1. 

Then I tried the layout files given by Herbert Voss. These are attached
below. This is my observation: 

1. This layout works properly only if the page style is plain. 
2. If you use hyperref, it does not work properly.

Both the files attached should be copied into layout directory.

I feel that seminar layout is still not stable on LyX and it is safer to
directly use LaTeX to create documents using seminar, especially when
you have portrait and landscape slides, page headers and footers, and
hyperref.

 When i use fancy headers in seminar layout everything is okay as long as I

 When I do portrait, the header and footer is still in the form of landscape

Which seminar.layout: The one that comes with 1.2.1 or the one from the

Re: Seminar again - portrait output

2001-04-19 Thread Mark Hansel

Greatful thanks to Mr. Voss and Mr. Tsur for responses to my initial
query.

My initial error was easily fixed by telling lyx the desired orientation.
I could not find a lyx approach to putting an "oval" box (rounded corners)
around pages. My solution has been to create my own commands (in the
prefix) and enter these througout the text in TeX mode. This is awkward
and moves backwards -- tediously fussing with appearance. While it works,
I want to pick the option from the drop-down environment menu.

After semester end, I want to experiment with the seminar layout file. One
option, if possible, is to associate specific latex commands with
individual lyx environments. But I might want, say, some boxed and some
unboxed pages. Associating latex sequences with the portrait slide seminar
environment would result in a single option. I could create two or three
portrait slide environments (no box, rounded box, square box), but this
moves away from the disciplined and parsimonious approach now adopted. It
is also messy.

By manipulating the prefix, I can get global changes. This limits desired
flexibility.

Is there a layout file that can serve as a model? Am I thinking along the
wrong lines altogether? (Quite possible. I've never worked with the layout
files and am not familiar with the source code.)

have you ever tried fancybox package?

 Using lyx, I cannot force seminar class to print portrait mode. Exporting
 the latex and working with it directly will yeild proper (desired) output.

Add 'portrait' to the 'Extra Options' field in the document dialog.

 Prefix commands \landscapeonly and \portraitonly give identical output.
 Latex comands \begin{slide} and \begin{slide*} (with appropriate \end{...}
 give same result.
 
 I is tempting simply to work with raw latex and tolerate the extra work. I
 do have the Latex style User's Guide (dated 4/1/1993) and therefore know I
 can get the job done. I want to avoid some of the more tedious details.

what's going on, when you choose in 
layout-document-page-use geometry package
AND
portrait mode?

Patrick Thank for your help.

The fix would be to implement seminar support for LyX :) Currently
only slides (sort of) and foiltex are supported.
