Hello LyX Users: Question about asymptote package within a LyX document.

[Enrique Comer]

Hello LyX Users:
I just read the article by Justin Domke with link: 
https://justindomke.wordpress.com/2017/05/24/the-second-and-third-best-features-of-lyx-you-arent-using/.



My question is:

►How could we call the asymptote package from within a LyX document?.




For example: From Justin Domke, we can write:


\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[red] (0,0) -- (0,1);
\draw[green] (0,1) -- (1,1);
\draw[red] (1,1) -- (1,0);
\draw[blue] (1,0) -- (0,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
and obtain the corresponding figure.
How could we prepare LyX to be able to evaluate, for example:


begin{asy}size(0,100);import geometry;triangle 
t=triangle(b=3,alpha=90,c=4);dot((0,0));draw(t);draw(rotate(90)*t,red);draw(shift((-4,0))*t,blue);draw(reflect((0,0),(1,0))*t,green);draw(slant(2)*t,magenta);
\end{asy}
and obtain the figure? (note: the example code is from the gallery in link: 
https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/gallery/triangle.asy )






►I already tested the previous asymptote code from a LyX document, with the 
LaTeX preamble including: \usepackage[inline]{asymptote}, but the result was 
the generation of PDF without errors, but also without the expected figure.





Thank you very much in advance for any pointer to answer this question.


Congratulations for supporting the use of the great editor LyX.Best 
regards,Enrique Comer

Re: Hello Problems [Windows 10, October Update, Version 1809]

I will see if it causes any problems with my LyX 2.3.1-1.

Hello,

After installing Windows 10 October Update 1809; it caused problems with my 
graphics card and one structural analysis software. I had to re-install 
graphics drivers and that software.

When it comes to LyX, it took about 10-15 to start and it started as if it is 
freshly installed with the Wlecome to LyX page. It reset some of the 
information such as open file list. I do not have user customization on my PC 
so I do not know if those will be affected. So it may be a good idea to backup 
LyX customization if there are any.  I have tested a complicated LyX document 
and it compiled just fine. I have checked MikTeX and it works fine as well.

My recommendation is: do not to install this update if you do not need it. I 
had to do it on my PC  for some other reasons. If you really need to install 
this update , back up your LyX customization first as there is chance you may 
loose them.

Good.

 I am still mystified as to how it came to be corrupted in a fresh install.
 Would you like me to investigate a little further?

It's probably difficult to track. Please let us know if the problem re-

can't compile hello world document from tutorial

[Ross Gayler]

Hi,

I have freshly installed LyX (V 2.0.3, Ubuntu 13.04) and am working through
the Tutorial. I create a new document with a few words in it. When I save
it and attempt to view it I get the message Emergency stop. File ended
while scanning use of \kvsetkeys. * newfile1.tex *** (job aborted, no
legal \end found)

However, I have no problems opening, editing and viewing any of the example
documents that came with the installation.

Completely removing and re-installing the package does not help.

I presume that some preamble text that is created with the new document is
mal-formed, but I don't know what it is or why it shuld be like that for a
feeshly installed LyX.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Ross

Hi Ross,

this should not happen indeed. I suspect your standard template is corrupted. 
Could you check if it helps to remove the file ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx 
(if this file is there)? If not, could you post here a simple file that fails?

This depends in part upon what document class you are using. But 
something like

   \date{}
should just set the date to an empty string.

yes i figured out by using the macro date and putting a space on it..

Where are you trying to put them?

I am trying to put them in the title, I need some spaces in between the

the setup i need to use is pretty funny:

headers and title in the middle
a picture
then on the left my name, and on the right the teachers names..
then a line and the year...

I think is best i make it as standard text!

[assasukasse]

Hi everyone
i am a new user, i am writing my degree thesis in lyx since i don't want 
to use Word (the results with lyx are far better)
However i incurred in 3 problem that i need to solve if i want to make 
EVERYthing in lyx:


  1. I should use a particular position for the inscription of the
 first page, the title should be in the middle, and the authors
 should be on the left and right...Title works fine, but authors
 wants to put in the middle as well...I tried to use standard, but
 then they switch to the next page..this is unacceptable. So i need
 to know how can i force them to be all in the same page, or how to
 relax the restrictions on the position of text for the Author field.
  2. I don't want the date to be added automatically at the end of
 every chapter i make, how can i remove it?
  3. seems to me that defskip, smallskip, bigskip don't work usually
 unless i protect them...is this fine?

Thanks everyone!

First of all you need to decide what document class you use. I can recommend a koma-skript class 
because it is highly customizable. Also the memoir class is a good choice.


However i incurred in 3 problem that i need to solve if i want to make 
EVERYthing in lyx:


  1. I should use a particular position for the inscription of the
 first page, the title should be in the middle, and the authors
 should be on the left and right...


I wonder why you have multiple authors for your thesis. Attached is a LyX-file with an example title 
page with two authors using the koma-skript book class.



  2. I don't want the date to be added automatically at the end of
 every chapter i make, how can i remove it?


This depends on the document class you use. (this is not the case with 
koma-script)


  3. seems to me that defskip, smallskip, bigskip don't work usually
 unless i protect them...is this fine?


This should work, maybe again your document class redefines them. You could post a SMALL LyX example 
file.

[new user] hello everyone, and 2 questions..

[assasukasse]

Hi everyone
i am a new user, i am writing my degree thesis in lyx since i don't want 
to use Word (the results with lyx are far better)
However i incurred in 3 problem that i need to solve if i want to make 
EVERYthing in lyx:


  1. I should use a particular position for the inscription of the
 first page, the title should be in the middle, and the authors
 should be on the left and right...Title works fine, but authors
 wants to put in the middle as well...I tried to use standard, but
 then they switch to the next page..this is unacceptable. So i need
 to know how can i force them to be all in the same page, or how to
 relax the restrictions on the position of text for the Author field.
  2. I don't want the date to be added automatically at the end of
 every chapter i make, how can i remove it?
  3. seems to me that defskip, smallskip, bigskip don't work usually
 unless i protect them...is this fine?

Thanks everyone!

If you search the archives, you'll find a lot on this. Generally, the 
view is that title pages are best configured manually, rather than using 
LaTeX's built-in title pages.



  2. I don't want the date to be added automatically at the end of

This depends in part upon what document class you are using. But 
something like

   \date{}
should just set the date to an empty string.

Where are you trying to put them?

First of all you need to decide what document class you use. I can recommend a koma-skript class 
because it is highly customizable. Also the memoir class is a good choice.

I wonder why you have multiple authors for your thesis. Attached is a LyX-file with an example title 
page with two authors using the koma-skript book class.



  2. I don't want the date to be added automatically at the end of

This depends on the document class you use. (this is not the case with 
koma-script)

This should work, maybe again your document class redefines them. You could post a SMALL LyX example 
file.

 Hello,

 I would like to give a short introduction on myself and why I joined this
 mailing list about a week ago (only lurking so far).

 My name is Tom Schlangen and I am from Germany. My hobby is audio
 amplifiers using old electron valve technology, and some weeks ago I
 started writing a book about this theme, aimed at other valve audio DIYers.

Congratulations. You're using exactly the right software to write your book! 
I've (so far) written three self-published books in LyX.


 To start, I have two somewhat related questions:

 1) I need to use Greek letters (for example capital Omega for Ohm) outside
 formulae, within plain text. Of course I can use the math pad to insert
 them, but looking at the generated code, it reads:

 \begin_inset Formula $\Omega$
 \end_inset

 so I suspect I am doing something wrong, since I actually do not want a
 formula there (containing a single Greek character) but only a single Greek
 character. What is the correct way to do so?

I don't know what's correct or incorrect, but within either the layout file or 
the document prefix you could define a TeX command to do that for you:

\def\myomega{$\Omega$}

From then on, you'd simply need to put \myomega and the character would be 
made for you. ERT stands for Evil Red Text, a nickname for stuff you insert 
using Insert-TexCode.

I think within LyX you might be able to do something with Environments so that 
no ERT is required, but I'm not sure how to do that.


 2) Using Edit / Find  Replace (or the Ctrl-F shortcut) will bring up a box
 where you can enter what you want to find and/or replace. How to enter
 Greek characters there?

If you're putting these characters in via ERT, then on my LyX (1.4.2) LyX's 
find command searches ERT right along with regular text.

Hello!

[Tom Schlangen]

Hello, 

I would like to give a short introduction on myself and why I joined this 
mailing list about a week ago (only lurking so far).

My name is Tom Schlangen and I am from Germany. My hobby is audio amplifiers 
using old electron valve technology, and some weeks ago I started writing a 
book about this theme, aimed at other valve audio DIYers. This book will 
contain a lot of formulae and schematics, and for reasons not necessary to 
explain here ;-) I am using LyX to do so. I would like to thank all developers 
of LyX for making it available to us mere users in the first place.

I am using LyX version 1.4.3-5, installed on two machines, one being a Linux 
box (Debian), the other using a W2k environment. The W2k environment is 
unavoidable for some reasons I do not want to bother you with.

During the last weeks, I explored the LyX environment, including some secondary 
literature pointed at by the LyX Wiki site, mainly dealing with graphics file 
conversions, and so on.

Still, some questions remain, and I am sure some more will come up in the 
future, possibly not being covered by the excellent help files/tutorials yet. I 
hope my questions will not be too stupid in your eyes.

To start, I have two somewhat related questions:

1) I need to use Greek letters (for example capital Omega for Ohm) outside

That is the way I do that.  This is an inlined formula, not a displayed
equation taking its own line.  When I introduce a special character, I will
do it as a single character in a math environment like this.  It should
display in the output as just the Greek character.  If you have a lot of
Greek characters (say, if you are actually writing something in Greek), there
might be a better way.
 
 2) Using Edit / Find  Replace (or the Ctrl-F shortcut) will bring up a box

I don't have a good one for that.  LyX's find/replace does not search through
the math insets (why not???), but only plain text environments.  If I am
going to do a substantial amount of search/replace editing, I will open up
the *.lyx file in a text editor, and use its find/replace.

There are two ways:

1. the procedure you already used (type \Omega within a formula)
2. add the line
   \usepackage{textcomp}
   to your document preamble and then use the command \textohm in ERT

We're working to implement that you can insert this character directly, using for example a special 
keyboard layout or a shortcut, have a look at bug 1116:

Yes, you can. Look in the preferences or in the user manual.

Yes. There is a bug involving the interaction between LyX and the  
Finder. Two things you can do here; if the first thing doesn't work  
on its own, try the second as well.


1. From within the Finder, select any .pdf file. Do File  Get  
Info... and change the Open with: drop-down list to something other  
than Preview, and then select Preview again. Then click on the  
Change all... button (confirming that you want to do this from the  
dialog that pops up). Now when you view your .lyx document as PDF, it  
should open in Preview. If this doesn't work, also do the following:


2. Within LyX, select LyX  Preferences  File Formats  PDF. In the  
Viewer field, enter open (without the quotes), click on the  
Modify button and then on the Save button. Now this should fix  
your LyX problem.

 The thesis needs to be double spaced, but that looks really silly in the

 those sections?
 
 3. Language problems:
 When I paste a block from one document to another, I sometimes get blue

This should not happen, because lyx should select the correct babel options.
Can you send a minimal example file showing this behaviour?

Results, part I
\layout Standard

This chapter is a first look at the experimental results starting with a
 description of the raw data generated by the simulations and the data reduction
 and analysis routines used to extract useful scientific information.
 We also examine the first stage of the simulation, the cooling phase during
 the first 300 Myrs, which is identical for all simulations.
\layout Section

The raw data
\layout Standard

 (HDF)
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true

\layout Standard

See 
\family typewriter 
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu
\family default 
 for details.
\end_inset 

.
 These files contain the 11? variables listed in table X, and some meta
 data, such as variable names.
 The HDF format is valuable because the date can be read directly by standard
 visualisation programs like HDFLook and IDL
\begin_inset Foot

\layout Standard

See: 
\family typewriter 
http://daac.gsfc.nasa.gov/MODIS/HDFLook/
\family default 
 and 
\family typewriter

\family default 
.
\end_inset 

.
 The raw data can therefore be studied directly as the simulation progresses
 to ensure that it develops as expected.
 However, each grid in the grid structure is stored in a separate HDF file,
 and with several thousand such grids it is impractrical to analyse this
 data directly.
 Viewing any one grid file only gives a low resolution view of the domain
 or a high resolution view of a very small region.
 To be scientifically useful, the data is reduced in a number of ways.
 Enzo includes as standard data reduction routines for producing 3-dimensional
 extractions, 2-dimensional projections, and 1-dimensional vectors averaged
 over radial shells.
 A fourth reduction tool was developed during this project to extract an
 arbitrary set of point samples from the domain.

Chapter 5 uses the document class mythesis, chapter 6 uses mythesis2. I
don't have either of them, so I changed the class to article, and
everything went fine (lyx 1.3.5cvs on linux). I get the blue underlines,
because the language is different, but the latex output works.
I guess it has something to do with the .layout files of your thesis
classes. BTW, you should use the same class for all parts of the doument.

 When I paste a block from one document to another, I sometimes get blue

This should not happen, because lyx should select the correct babel options.
Can you send a minimal example file showing this behaviour?

Results, part I
\layout Standard

This chapter is a first look at the experimental results starting with a
 description of the raw data generated by the simulations and the data reduction
 and analysis routines used to extract useful scientific information.
 We also examine the first stage of the simulation, the cooling phase during
 the first 300 Myrs, which is identical for all simulations.

 for details.
\end_inset 

.
 These files contain the 11? variables listed in table X, and some meta
 data, such as variable names.
 The HDF format is valuable because the date can be read directly by standard
 visualisation programs like HDFLook and IDL
\begin_inset Foot

\family default 
.
\end_inset 

.
 The raw data can therefore be studied directly as the simulation progresses
 to ensure that it develops as expected.
 However, each grid in the grid structure is stored in a separate HDF file,
 and with several thousand such grids it is impractrical to analyse this
 data directly.
 Viewing any one grid file only gives a low resolution view of the domain
 or a high resolution view of a very small region.
 To be scientifically useful, the data is reduced in a number of ways.
 Enzo includes as standard data reduction routines for producing 3-dimensional
 extractions, 2-dimensional projections, and 1-dimensional vectors averaged
 over radial shells.
 A fourth reduction tool was developed during this project to extract an
 arbitrary set of point samples from the domain.

Hello and 3 questions

[Henrik Nilsen Omma]

Hello everyone,
I've been using LyX for a few months, but this is my first posting to 
the list. I'm writing a Ph.D. thesis in physics of about 150 pages in 
7-8 chapters plus appendices, etc. There are obviously lots of 
equations, images, and figures. I've made 1 file for each chapter to 
keep it manageable and a master file with include statements. I only 
want one bibliography at the end. I also use BibTex and NatBib. And now 
I have some questions :)  (I apologise if these have been asked here before)

1. How can I do appendix style numbering?
I'd like to number the appendix pages as A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, etc.  (I've 
worked out that I can use ERT: \setcounter{page}{1} and found a 
description opf how to do roman numerals for the TOC, but how do you 
prefix the number with an 'A-'?)

2. How to make line spacing different for different sections?
The thesis needs to be double spaced, but that looks really silly in the 
table of contents and bibliography. How do I specify single spacing for 
those sections?

3. Language problems:
When I paste a block from one document to another, I sometimes get blue 
underline, which I've read signifies a foreign language. I can turn off 
the notification in the Preferences, but I still get the error message:
'Package babel Error: You haven't loaded the option english yet.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]' I have selected English in Document settings 
and preferences.
Ideas?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
