In order to type the degree symbol, press and hold
down the Alt key while on the numeric key pad typing
0176. (The '0' is needed.)
Why not
$^\circ$, or
\usepackage{gensymb}
\degree
I like the output of these commands better than the Alt+0176 symbol.

This definition will only be inserted if there is some math box with

Alternatively, try if deleting (or commenting) these lines and running

Or what's is the code to obtain the degree symbol in LyX =

I simply press the right key. Alternatively, you can switch to text mode
and insert \textdegree as ERT or use ^\circ in math mode.

How to write degree symbol ° ?
I have big probems for entering a degree symbol as in 'cos 30°'. If entered as
such from the keyboard in TeX, it's not accepted. If entered in Lyx, it's
represented as '\lyxmathsym{\textdegree}', but when it comes to producing
output an error is the result.
The '\textdegree' alone seems not visible in the output. In some
places '\mbox{°}' is accepted, where the degree symbol is internally written
as \textdegree. It seems in fact that it is the 'lyxmathsym{}' which is not
understood in producing the output.
Sincerely,
Hubert

How to write degree symbol ° ?
I have big probems for entering a degree symbol as in 'cos 30°'. If entered as
such from the keyboard in TeX, it's not accepted. If entered in Lyx, it's
represented as '\lyxmathsym{\textdegree}', but when it comes to producing
output an error is the result.
The '\textdegree' alone seems not visible in the output. In some
places '\mbox{°}' is accepted, where the degree symbol is internally written
as \textdegree. It seems in fact that it is the 'lyxmathsym{}' which is not
understood in producing the output.
Sincerely,
Hubert

For my report i did this Go to Insert menu - special symbols - geometric shapes U can find a small circle looking similar to degree ...insert it and cut it Now after typing cos 30 ...paste it in the superscript..This looked well in output

So obviously the r-alt 0 can't work in this case. I don't know what gives me the 0 exponent. I haven't messed with any mappings other than to set right-alt as my compose key.

Try running LyX with lyx -dbg key and see what debug output you get when you try to insert the degree symbol using your compose key.

Well, that's good, anyway. When I ran the debug thing like you said, I got some crazy output. [I've snipped the output, in case the non-ASCII characters pose problems for other readers.] It appears that LyX is producing control characters in its debug output here, and that's changing the output character set in the tty where you ran lyx. I don't know why LyX would be doing that - if it's a bug, or caused by something in your environment. It's been a long time since I ran LyX on Linux. (I actually prefer a Unix/Linux environment, but because I have to do most of my development work on Windows, it's easier to run LyX there.) You could probably suppress that by filtering the LyX output through something to strip out the control characters. For example: lyx -dbg key 21 | tr -dc '[:print:]\n' That should remove all characters that aren't printable, except newline. Warning: this system's locale uses Unicode. Language code:en_US Setting new encoding for Qt:iso8859-1 Maybe the Unicode locale is a problem; you could try using a different locale, just to see if that has any effect.

degree symbol in lyx on ubuntu with the Compose key
Hi all I have been trying to work out how to make the degree symbol appear in Lyx. There was a thread on this recently but it was all about using mathematical equations, whereas I want to just insert the symbol as a regular character. Under Ubuntu, one can use the Keyboard preferences to set up a 'Compose' key (I chose 'right ALT'). Once that is done, I can open a text editor (gedit) and get all the accented characters é and ô and ñ etc very nicely. I can even get the degree symbol using the sequence of keys (pressed and released in sequence): right-alt ^ 0. Like so: ° But when I move over to LyX, the accented character come out correctly, but the degree symbol does not appear. Nothing appears when I use the same key sequence as above. I can copy the degree symbol and paste into LyX using Paste External Selection As Paragraphs, but I cannot generate the character directly in LyX. This is ubuntu 6.10 running standard deb package LyX 1.4.3. Has anyone using Ubuntu been able to make this work correctly?

You don't mention what platform you're running on. On Windows, you can
just insert the character normally, using Character Map or Alt-0176 (on
the numeric keypad), or any of the various utilities that let you type
characters not on your keyboard (eg AllChars).
You can also use \textdegree in ERT for the degree sign.
For minutes my preference would be to use the straight apostrophe and
double-quote. The straight double-quote character is available as
Insert | Special Character | Ordinary Quote. (cua.bind also supposedly
makes it C-quotedbl, but that doesn't work for me with LyX 1.3.5 on
Windows; might be fixed in a less ancient version.)
However, there's no obvious LyX mechanism to get straight apostrophe.
In fact, I don't even know if there's a way to get it in LaTeX. It's
not listed in the LaTeX ISO entity reference [1].
There's also prime and Prime (aka double prime), which are ^\prime and
{''}, respectively, in math-mode; you can also enter those in ERT as
$^\prime$ and ${''}$. The LaTeX ISO character reference sheet lists
these as prime or minute and double prime or second, so I guess
they're the official minute/second glyphs. Not terribly lovely or
convenient, though.
There's also variant prime, {'} in math-mode or ${'}$ in ERT, as
an alternative to ^\prime; that's a bit more consistent.
I suppose you could put the whole expression in math-mode, and use
^\circ (superscript circle) for the degree sign. That's a bit tricky
if you're not used to working in math mode. Say for example you want 20
degrees, 30 minutes, 40 seconds. Enter math mode (the a+b/c button on
the toolbar), then type 20^\circ (without the quotes). Press
right-arrow twice to terminate the \circ entity and get out of the
superscript box. Type 30\{' and press right-arrow to get past the },
which LyX automatically inserts for you. Type 40\{'' and press
right-arrow to get past the }, then space to get out of math-mode.
So, in summary, I'd say math-mode works OK, but this looks like a golden
opportunity to practice LyX customization to make it easier to enter
this kind of information, if you have to do it more than once or twice.

In fact, I don't even know if there's a way to get it in LaTeX. It's
not listed in the LaTeX ISO entity reference [1].
There's also prime and Prime (aka double prime), which are ^\prime and
{''}, respectively, in math-mode; you can also enter those in ERT as
$^\prime$ and ${''}$. The LaTeX ISO character reference sheet lists
these as prime or minute and double prime or second, so I guess
they're the official minute/second glyphs. Not terribly lovely or
convenient, though.
There's also variant prime, {'} in math-mode or ${'}$ in ERT, as
an alternative to ^\prime; that's a bit more consistent.
I suppose you could put the whole expression in math-mode, and use
^\circ (superscript circle) for the degree sign. That's a bit tricky
if you're not used to working in math mode. Say for example you want 20
degrees, 30 minutes, 40 seconds. Enter math mode (the a+b/c button on
the toolbar), then type 20^\circ (without the quotes). Press
right-arrow twice to terminate the \circ entity and get out of the
superscript box. Type 30\{' and press right-arrow to get past the },
which LyX automatically inserts for you. Type 40\{'' and press
right-arrow to get past the }, then space to get out of math-mode.
So, in summary, I'd say math-mode works OK, but this looks like a golden
opportunity to practice LyX customization to make it easier to enter
this kind of information, if you have to do it more than once or twice.

How do I insert the "degree" symbol? As in, 360 degrees to a circle. I
guess there should also be minutes and seconds.
You don't mention what platform you're running on. On Windows, you can
just insert the character normally, using Character Map or Alt-0176 (on
the numeric keypad), or any of the various utilities that let you type
characters not on your keyboard (eg AllChars).
You can also use \textdegree in ERT for the degree sign.
For minutes my preference would be to use the straight apostrophe and
double-quote. The straight double-quote character is available as
Insert | Special Character | Ordinary Quote. (cua.bind also supposedly
makes it C-quotedbl, but that doesn't work for me with LyX 1.3.5 on
Windows; might be fixed in a less ancient version.)

Re: Degree symbol?
As far as I know, there is no standard macro for this.
(I guess in some fonts it is character 228).
However, I usually use:
\newcommand\degree{\ensuremath{^{\circ}}}
in preamble, and then \degree{} in ERT in text.

RE: Degree symbol?
I usually use \textdegree for the little circle or \textcelsius if I want
degreeC. \textdegree works but \textcelsius i need to put
\usepackage{textcomp} in the preamble. What is the proper way to include
symbols like these? Do you put them in ERT? I have tried mathmode and it
works but produces a Latex warning. I just tried ERT today, and that seems
to work.
What about textmode? Is that just the environment when you hit Ctrl-M twice?
What is it used for?
Thanks,

degree symbol
How do I insert a degree symbol? I tried doing a insert = special character = superscript = o but the o does not look quite right...is there another way of doing this? Rodney
