Re: Problem with fraction in TikZ insert

[John Kane]

Many thanks Paul.  Works  like a charm.
I had been coming to the conclusion that I was probably going to have to 
reinstall LyX since I could not get LyX to compile even when the expression 
$\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ was outside the TikZ environment.

I tend to use those packages you and Jurgen stripped out, quite a lot so they 
are in my basic template.  I am not likely to really need dfrac{} other than to 
duplicate the examples in the document I am working through so it's not likel 
to be a practical problem for me.
 
Wait a minute!  I find that find that $\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ works just fine with 
them loaded both inside and outside TikZ environment  as long as I load the AMS 
package manually.  Excellent.

Thanks to both of you.

Probably should have said that stripping out the \usepackage statements 
was not because there was a collision between them and something else -- 
it's because I don't have those packages installed (and did not want to 
install them just to go bug-hunting).

Problem with fraction in TikZ insert

[John Kane]

I have been experimenting with TikZ and have been through the manual TikZ pour 
l'impatient, (Gérard Tisseau et Jacques Duma) 15 novembre 2013 Everything was 
going well until I hit the second example on pg. 18. Everything is fine until I 
try to add a fraction , the \draw (22:1.5) node {$\dfrac{\pi}{4}$}; line and I 
don't see what is wrong. 

It looks like the problem is in the fraction expression because it works if I 
switch to \draw (22:1.5) node {$Z$};.

The orignal works just fine in LaTeX. Am I missing something obvious or 
encountering a package conflix of some kind? 

The message say 1:14:53.301: LaTeX2e 2011/06/27 21:14:53.304: Babel 3.9f

Re: Problem with fraction in TikZ insert

Thank Jurgen.
I had forgotten I even had them loaded.  They are part of my normal template.  
The shortinsets-name is a relatively new one by Andrew Parsloe that hides long 
inset names giving less distraction for something like labels or 
cross-references

Unfortuately I am still getting the same error after removing those modules and 
even reloading LyX.  I even removed the local layout I had and stripped the 
preamble to nothing but \usepackage{tikz}  with no better result.  

I, also, tried it in Lyx 2.1 with no luck.


It's beginning to look like it may be something specific to my set-up. Oh well 
I'm not using it, just experimenting for future possible use so it not a panic.

Good point. I am not sure when I updated TeXLive but I think it was over a year 
ago.

Must get to work now but I'll try updating it this afternoon or tomorrow and 
see what happens.

Thanks and have a good week-end.
