Vertical space in math formulas

2009-05-24 Thread Martin Görg
Hi there, I have an AMS gather environment (or an equation array or such) and would like to increase the vertical spacing between rows. I am really surprised that there's nothing about this problem in the help, mailing list, or Wiki - or at least I couldn't find anything. The only solution I

Thanks Uwe, I conclude that you don't think there is no obvious core toolkit of companion programs for Lyx. But its interesting you use Origin rather than some of the open source options. Graham Uwe Stöhr wrote: Graham Smith schrieb: So would anyone like to suggest a basic LyX tool

For me it's Mathematica (decidedly *not* free or open-source!) and XFig. Two of the strangest programs paired up, but they work for about 99% of the graphics I need to produce for LyX. Incidentally, Origin (at least versions 6 and previously; I haven't tried yet with the newest) runs just f

How to force LyX to use the apostrophe (singlequote)?

2009-05-24 Thread Stefano Franchi
I am working on a file that contains lots of words ending with an apostrophe, i.e. an apostrophe followed by a space. Sometimes, although not always, Lyx gets confused and converts the apostrophe into a leftsinglequote in the typeset output, which is not at all what I want. I suppose Lyx takes

Hi, in the lfun documentation i see only four lfuns to move the active group up or down, resp. in or out. Are there lfuns which switch the focus from the text panel to the outline panel and back. (I'm just a stubborn key board freak and try to avoid using the mouse whenever possible ;-) T
