Problems with figures
Hi all, I started using Lyx1.5.3 on Ubuntu 8.04, and I have two problems when trying to put centered figures into a document. What I do is the following: Insert - Floating object - Figure (sorry if the translation is not right), and the Insert - Image, then browse and find my *.eps file. First problem : the figure is not showed in the LyX window. Instead I obtain a message converting to a readable format, (or something like that) and then error in conversion. When I choose not to show the figure in the LyX window I don't have this error. However, this is not that bad, since the picture is o.k in the dvi, the ps and the pdf files. This problem does not happens if I insert a .png file. Second, and most important: The caption Figura 1 should be at the bottom of the figure, and not at its left (see attached file). Thanks JC -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Problems-with-figures-tp732260p732260.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi all, I started using Lyx1.5.3 on Ubuntu 8.04, and I have two problems when trying to put centered figures into a document. What I do is the following: Insert -> Floating object -> Figure (sorry if the translation is not right), and the Insert -> Image, then browse and find my *.eps file. First problem : the figure is not showed in the LyX window. Instead I obtain a message "converting to a readable format", (or something like that) and then "error in conversion". When I choose not to show the figure in the LyX window I don't have this error. However, this is not that bad, since the picture is o.k in the dvi, the ps and the pdf files.

LyX uses ImageMagick to convert fig.eps to fig.ppm for display in the GUI, and for Postscript and EPS files, ImageMagick will turn to Ghostscript for help. Second, and most important: The caption Figura 1 should be at the bottom of the figure, and not at its left (see attached file). Actually, no, I don't see an attached file. Working blind, as it were, all I can suggest is to make sure that the cursor is not in the caption when you do Insert-Image. I always hit Enter in front of the caption to create a new paragraph, and insert the image there. (You can use the paragraph alignment dialog to center the image within the float.) /Paul

Re: Problems with figures
Hi Christian, Thanks for your help. I tried to install ImageMagick once more and did not work. I could not find the hints in Lyx's User Guide you mentioned. In which section are they? Best regards, Marco. On Mon, 16 Oct 2006, Christian Liesen wrote: Hi, you can see why the error occurs on page 59 of the Lyx User's Guide. It has to do with the figure being in eps format -- I had the same problem somtimes, and substituting the eps by a pdf file worked well. If that is not possible, try to install ImageMagick and/or follow the hints in the User's Guide. Hope this helps! Best regards, Christian Marco A.C.

You could reinstall LyX using this installer: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=11320 (http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller) because this comes with the latest Imagemagick version. ! If you have another version of Imagemagick installed, uninstall it first. ! The installer will check for installed Imagemagick versions, so if the installer informs you that Imagemagick will be installed additionally with LyX it should work. regards Uwe

Problems with figures
Hi, For many years I'm using Lyx and it is really great! I'm writting because this week I instaled in a new computer, windows and all softares I use. So I instaled the new version of lyx using the file lyx-143-4-bundle.exe, with miktex , etc. Everything is fine except for the files with figures (including the ones which comes with lyx in the help). For exemple in the user guide in section 4.3 in the place where should be the first figure it appears an retangle and inside appears mobius.eps Error converting to loadable format The same problem happen in all the files I have with figures. Why I can not see the figures? What could be the problem? Best regards, Marco.
Re: Problems with figures
Hi, you can see why the error occurs on page 59 of the Lyx User's Guide. It has to do with the figure being in eps format -- I had the same problem somtimes, and substituting the eps by a pdf file worked well. If that is not possible, try to install ImageMagick and/or follow the hints in the User's Guide. Hope this helps! Best regards, Christian Marco A.C.

(From a command prompt run convert logo: logo.gif display logo.gif and see if the ImageMagick logo displays. If ImageMagick is not on your system path, you may need to cd into its directory for this to work.) 3. Is Ghostscript installed? (ImageMagick needs Ghostscript to convert Postscript and Encapsulated Postscript images.) Again assuming that ImageMagick is on the command path, you can try opening a command prompt in the LyX root\Resources\doc directory and run convert mobius.eps mobius.ppm to see if ImageMagick can find Ghostscript. 4. Is ImageMagick on your system command path or on LyX's path prefix (Tools-Preferences-Paths-PATH prefix)? /Paul

Re: Problems using figures in LyX
Hi Ana Cannot convert file Error while executing python C:/Arquivos de programas/LyX/Resources/lyx Maybe you got a problem with the whitespaces in the path. I remember something about the whitespace. Some progams ported to windows have problems when there is a space in their path. maybe you want to check that. Cheers Jonathan

After a while, it worked ok too (I needed to adapt using Preamble and adding an ERT). So far, I was succedeeing in generating a DVI file. To do this, I just select View-DVI in LyX menu. The next step was adding float figures in my document. I succedded to add the figures, they are showed in the LyX document. I´ve just added them by using the options Insert-Floats-Figure and Insert-Graphics. Then, I added an EPS figure. The figure is displayed in LyX document nicely, everything seems to be ok, but when I try to generate a DVI file, it didn´t work. It appears the following error message: Cannot convert file Error while executing python C:/Arquivos de programas/LyX/Resources/lyx The argument to the python command is a directory, when it should be a file. I have not seen that error before, so I have no idea what caused it. Other times when I tried to generate the DVI file, it occurs a different error. It seems the DVI file was generated wrongly and then the DVI viewer couldn´t open it correctly. It seems odd that the error is inconsistent. Do you recall what the other error messages were? Despite this error message, I´ve got the DVI file following these steps: 1) Export the LateX file (File-Import-Latex) 2) Runnig Miktex on the generated Tex file and running the DVI viewer (outside Lyx environment). Do you have any idea what´s going on? I´ve tried to find any clue in LyX documentation but I didn´t find. I´d like to do everything inside LyX environment. Could you help on this, please? The first thing I would do is check the converter. In LyX, click on Edit-Preferences-Converters. There should be an entry labeled 'DraftDVI-DVI'. Click on that and look at the entry in the Converter: field. It should look like the following: python $$s/scripts/clean_dvi.py $$i $$o Does yours match that? /Paul
