Andreas,

 

I'm not sure what's happening from your side, but if I disable the fonts you 
have and change "Gray" to "gray", then the line renders for me.

 

Thanks,

Joel 

 

In xcolor, Gray (with first letter in uppercase) is a color model, not a color. 
This can be changed by the option “svgnames” or by the option “dvipsnames”. 
Since here xolor is called by tikz, it is best to give this as an option to the 
documentclass. This worked for me, with pdflatex.

Andreas,

I'm not sure what's happening from your side, but if I disable the fonts
you have and change "Gray" to "gray", then the line renders for me.

Thanks,

color names make trouble

[Andreas Plihal via lyx-users]

Hi,

 

I'm working on a KOMA script book. It contains over a hundred graphics. One graphic is particularly complex and I've been working on it for several weeks. I drew about 50 curves in it, all of which are made point by point according to a complicated scheme: 

 

   \draw [color=Gray] (0,1) -- (1,2) -- (2,3) -- (3,4); 

 

This has always worked very well so far. But a few days ago I suddenly got an error message. 

 

   Package tikz Error: Giving up on this path. Did you forget a semicolon?

 

I have largely isolated the error (I am attaching the associated file). Now I'm faced with the fact that the error is apparently caused by the color names (RubineRed, Gray etc.) that I've been using without any problems for over a year! What is suddenly going on in the LYX/LATEX world?
