Re: Changing Figure Labelling in LyX

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Phillipe,

this is a LaTeX issue, and if asked on a LaTeX related forum
Usenet's comp.text.tex or Stackexchange might yield better
results.

Google is also you friend.

was wondering if there was a way to change it to say “Fig. 1.1”, instead 
of “Figure 1.1”


I’ve also changed the size of the font inside the caption to be 
smallest. This works great, no issues. However, the figure label itself 
does not change in size. It simply shows “Figure 1.1: Blah Blah Blah, 
this is only an example…”. Is there a way to make the size of the label 
match that of the caption.


Thank in advance to anyone who can help me.

As someone with old eyes, I feel that I should discourage you from using 
"smallest" as the size for captions. That said, if you have the LaTeX 
'caption' package installed, you can put the following in your preamble:


\usepackage{caption}

\captionsetup[figure]{labelfont={scriptsize}, name={Fig.},labelsep=colon}

I think that will do what you want.

You need to put the margin outside of the description label (the first
item of the line)

margin text and labelling environment generates a bug

[John Beattie]

Hi,

When I create a margin text on the same line as a labelling environment, the
document will not compile.  This happens with lyx 2.3.3 on Windows and with lyx
2.3.1 on linux mint 18.2.  Details of the two environments are below.

The mwe is attached and the picture shows the error which the compiler reports.

Should I raise a bug?

Thanks,
John

Figure labelling

[Grzegorz Sadlok]

Dear LyX community,

Im a PhD student working in paleontology and I currently discover LyX.
This is a nice tool especially  for those working in science, so I'm
going to use LyX as my primary editor during thesis preparation. As far,
I find only one problem I could not solve by myself. In LyX there is a
grate tool: automatic numbering and referring to figures that one may
need to put in the manuscript (I certainly need). I use the standard
article class where the default label for figures is ''Figure''. Is it
possible to change it to ''Plate'', ''Fig.'' or ''Text-fig.'' etc.? I
need to inform I'm a polish user of LyX (Ubuntu OS) since I feel this
can have an impact on the way in which the problem can be solved. I will
not need to switch between LyX and OpenOffice Word Editor (for editing
of labels) if only I have the problem of labelling solved.

Best wishes!

One method is to use what Pavel wrote in his post. There is also another 
method that will additionally automatically write the name Fig.. This 
has the advantage that you can later change the name of all references

 Perhaps part of the confusion is that what LyX calls labels don't

 you can label the equation if you like by putting a label after it. But it
 won't have a number, and the only cross-reference you'll be able to do will

Ok. I understand now. You're just not using the program correctly :-}.

Math equations are not adjusted with 'paragraph settings'. There are
two types of equations in LyX: Inline and Display. Inline is an
equation that is inline with text and Display is an equation centered
on its own line.

To access the two types use: Insert-Math-Inline Formula or Display
Formula. Alternatively, you can use Command-M for Inline formula and
Command+shift-M for Display formula on MacOSX.

You may also want to take some time to read through some of the
documentation available in the Help menu. For instance: Help-User's
Guide Chapter 5 or Help-Math. These issues are explained there.

Yes, true. People---especially Uwe---have put a lot of work into those 
guides. Much of what's in them you probably don't need to know, so I 
usually recommend that people read the Tutorial fairly closely, and then 
read the User's Guide quickly, just skimming parts that don't really 
interest them. The other manuals contain tons of useful 
information---but not for everyone, since they're more specialized. I've 
never read the Embedded Objects manual, for example, since it basically 
doesn't apply to me. Remember too that you can use the Navigate menu, or 
open the Outline, to see a table of contents and decide what you might 
want to read. Oh, and that you can ViewPDF and then print the manuals 
so you don't have to read them at your computer.

Ok. I understand now. You're just not using the program correctly :-}.

Math equations are not adjusted with 'paragraph settings'. There are
two types of equations in LyX: Inline and Display. Inline is an
equation that is inline with text and Display is an equation centered
on its own line.

To access the two types use: Insert-Math-Inline Formula or Display
Formula. Alternatively, you can use Command-M for Inline formula and
Command+shift-M for Display formula on MacOSX.

You may also want to take some time to read through some of the
documentation available in the Help menu. For instance: Help-User's
Guide Chapter 5 or Help-Math. These issues are explained there.

Oops, I forgot to add that Inline formula cannot be labeled whereas
Display formula can. This is why the Label button is grayed out
because you've inserted Inline formula not Display formula.

Yes, true. People---especially Uwe---have put a lot of work into those 
guides. Much of what's in them you probably don't need to know, so I 
usually recommend that people read the Tutorial fairly closely, and then 
read the User's Guide quickly, just skimming parts that don't really 
interest them. The other manuals contain tons of useful 
information---but not for everyone, since they're more specialized. I've 
never read the Embedded Objects manual, for example, since it basically 
doesn't apply to me. Remember too that you can use the Navigate menu, or 
open the Outline, to see a table of contents and decide what you might 
want to read. Oh, and that you can ViewPDF and then print the manuals 
so you don't have to read them at your computer.

Ok. I understand now. You're just not using the program correctly :-}.

Math equations are not adjusted with 'paragraph settings'. There are
two types of equations in LyX: Inline and Display. Inline is an
equation that is inline with text and Display is an equation centered
on its own line.

To access the two types use: Insert->Math->Inline Formula or Display
Formula. Alternatively, you can use Command->M for Inline formula and
Command+shift->M for Display formula on MacOSX.

You may also want to take some time to read through some of the
documentation available in the Help menu. For instance: Help->User's

Re: Labelling equations

[Christopher Stowasser]

I admit, that my last sentence is very confusing. Just forget about it. What
I meant was: If I put the cursor before or behind the math box, i.e in the
normal text, I can use the label function. As soon as I put the cursor in
the math box  the label function is inactive.  Therefore I cannot label the
equation in the math box.  As long as I cannot asign a label to the equation
it makes no sense to look at the pdf I guess.

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, you're talking about a

Perhaps part of the confusion is that what LyX calls labels don't

So you can label the equation if you like by putting a label after it.

If you change this to a dialog that says the formula must be numbered 
(and therefore in display mode) to bear a label, and give the user the 
option to either switch it to display mode or scrap the label, that 
would make sense to me.  There may be a larger question here, though. 
It seems to me that there are a variety of situations where a menu item 
won't work and is grayed out (short title and optional argument come to 
mind).  Do the developers want to provide explanations/corrections for 
all of them?  I think (based on list traffic) the optional argument one 
is a more common problem than labels in inline math insets.

If you change this to a dialog that says the formula must be numbered 
(and therefore in display mode) to bear a label, and give the user the 
option to either switch it to display mode or scrap the label, that 
would make sense to me.  There may be a larger question here, though. 
It seems to me that there are a variety of situations where a menu item 
won't work and is grayed out (short title and optional argument come to 
mind).  Do the developers want to provide explanations/corrections for 
all of them?  I think (based on list traffic) the optional argument one 
is a more common problem than labels in inline math insets.

[Christopher Stowasser]

I admit, that my last sentence is very confusing. Just forget about it. What
I meant was: If I put the cursor before or behind the math box, i.e in the
normal text, I can use the label function. As soon as I put the cursor in
the math box  the label function is inactive.  Therefore I cannot label the
equation in the math box.  As long as I cannot asign a label to the equation
it makes no sense to look at the pdf I guess.

It sounds as if you have a problem with the installation of LyX. This
is obviously not normal behavior. I would trying reinstalling LyX. It
may help developer's to know what platform you are using and what
version of LyX. You may also need to file a bug report if reinstalling
doesn't help.

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, you're talking about a 
displayed math inset (on its own line), right?  If you have a math inset 
in the middle of a line of text, you won't be able to insert a label 
(the label item on the insert menu is grayed out), because inserting a 
label there makes no sense.  A label in a math inset refers to the 
equation number, and in-line math insets don't get numbered.

I see it disabled as well, UNLESS the equation is in "display" 
mode---i.e., centered by itself on a separate line. It is meant to work 
that way. The reason is that labeled equations are also NUMBERED 
equations, and the mechanism that's used to do the label isn't available 
if the equation hasn't been set off.


Perhaps part of the confusion is that what LyX calls "labels" don't 
normally appear in the text. They're just targets for cross-references. 
So you can label the equation if you like by putting a label after it. 
But it won't have a number, and the only cross-reference you'll be able 
to do will be by page, really.

Labelling equations

[Christopher Stowasser]

Hi,

I have a problem with labelling equations. If I want to label an equation I
put the cursor in the pink box surrounding the equation. Then I go to
insert and to label. The function label is written in grey letters
now, i.e. inactive. If the cursor is outside the pink box the function
label works, but I cannot label the equation.

Thanks in advance!

I'm a little confused you may have to explain further. What do you
mean the label works, but I cannot label the equation? How do you
want to label it? What you have done should work. When you create a

What happens if you have the cursor inside the equation and you use the

Just a thoughtare you using an inline formula (C-m) or a display

The label will only appear for a display formula, not an inline.

I'm not sure what you have to type in the mini-buffer, but the shortcut 
key is C-m for inline formula and S-C-M for display formula. Otherwise, 
use Insert-Math-Display Formula from the toolbar.

I think that the equation label should then work.

Then you used an inline formula. You can only number displayed formulas 
(formulas in their own paragraph). To create a displayed formula you 
can use the short cut C-S-m (Control-Shift-m) or the menu Insert-Math- 
Display Formula.

Equation labelling

[Vaibhav Srivastava]

Hi ,
I am new to Lyx. I have a problem with Lyx in equation labeling in the 
math  mode. I use the version 1.3.1
In UserGuide it has shown how to label equations and when I do 
Insert-Label from the math mode in the users guide and enter a label 
then it works by showing (mathed:label). However when I am working with 
my document and do the same then it does not do.
   However if I copy and paste from user guide onto my document then it 
shows that.
for eg 2-1=1  (mathed:first-equn) would show in the user guide and if I 
paste on my document then also it will work
But it will not work if I wrote 2-1=1(in mat mode of course ) and then 
did Insert-Label-mathed:first-equn

Please tell me what could be going wrong
Thanks

What happens if you have the cursor inside the equation and you use the 
menu Insert - Layout? Does the dialog pops up? If yes what happens when 
you enter some text to this dialog and then press OK?

Just a thoughtare you using an inline formula (C-m) or a display 
formula (S-C-M) ?

The label will only appear for a display formula, not an inline.

Problem with labelling eqwation in a box

[shannans]

Hi to all

I had try to label a formula inside a box by doing it like this:

\fbox - C - m - C - enter.
Note - C stand for Control.
I added C - enter to be able to add a lable for cross reference.

I gut 5 errors:
1. Missing \endgroup inserted.
 }
  $
I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the inserted text above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.
2. Missing } inserted.
 }
  $

3. You can't use `\halign' in math mode.
 }
  $
Sorry, but I'm not programmed to handle this case;
I'll just pretend that you didn't ask for it.
If you're in the wrong mode, you might be able to
return to the right one by typing `I}' or `I$' or `I\par'.
4. Missing number, treated as zero.
 }
  $
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
5. Missing $ inserted.
 \end{document}
  
I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.
---
I would like to know how could i fix it, or is it a bug?

thanks

labelling cases

[Raphael Clifford]

Hi,

I have an equation with three cases.. something like

d_i,j = a if blah1
  = b if blah2
  = c if blah3
I am using the cases enviroment to do this? How can I label these cases 
so I can say later something like Case (1) shows...?

Cheers,
Raphael

Raphael,

  I use a left curly brace followed by a vector (matrix with one column and
three rows). You can always refer to them as when a ..., if b ... and so
on.
