Hi Cyril,

Did you get this to work? We have an open enhancement request to
possibly improve support for asymptote in LyX:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/2950

But we would need your help to proceed.

Hi Cyril,

I have little experience with this kind of thing, but you should take
a look at the converters section in Help  Customization. You could
create a format pdfA (or PDF (Asymptote) ) and then a converter
latex - pdfA and add your commands there.

Ty Scott,

That is eactly what I did, but the problem is which commands ??.
Since I have to execute 3 commands in just one converter. The

You need a wrapper script and define that one as converter. You can use the 
default converter shipped by LyX (scripts/convertDefault.py) as a template, 
and instead of calling convert, call your three commands in a row.

More precisely, the biggest question I have is:

The converter is from what initial format ? I guess the final is PDF. 
But the initial one is LaTeX, LyX,...?

That depends. I guess you want to use pdflatex for direct pdf production. In 
that case, use LaTeX (pdflatex) (code name pdflatex in the preferences 
file), and your three commands are

pdflatex myfile.tex
asy myfile-*
pdflatex myfile.tex

If you use TeXLive, you can even use latexmk instead of a wrapper script

latexmk -pdf myfile

The final format is the new PDF variant you need to define. Otherwise your

That depends. I guess you want to use pdflatex for direct pdf production. In

pdflatex myfile.tex

Re: Embedding asymptote in LyX

[Peleg Michaeli]

Oh, I see...

They also wrote this line under that figure: For ASYMPTOTE versions ≥
1.14, you can simply call PDFLATEX directly - but I have misunderstood
it, probably; I thought it meant that in this specific case (version ≥
1.14), I *don't* need to do that.

Well, then...

I am looking for a workaround now.

Is it possible to export a LyX document to a TeX document without losing
data? Then, I'll be able to do what they suggest in the documentation.

Thanks,
Peleg.

  Hello!
 
  I am trying to embed Asymptote in LyX documents.
 
  I am following this tutorial:
  http://www.dse.nl/~dario/projects/asylatex/asylatex.pdfhttp://www.dse.nl/%7Edario/projects/asylatex/asylatex.pdf
 
  I am doing everything as suggested:
  * I have included \usepackage{asymptote} and
  \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} in the LaTeX preamble
  * I have done Crtl-L in the middle of the document and added this LaTeX
  code:
 
  \begin{figure}
  \centering
  \begin{asy}
  size (3cm);
  draw (unitcircle);
  \end{asy}
  \caption{Embedded Asymptote figures are easy!}
  \label{fig:embedded}
  \end{figure}
 
  When I generate the document (using pdflatex), I get nothing special: a
  figure with PDF written there, but no image (no unitcircle)...
  when I do the same, but with DVI, I get EPS written instead of the
  unitcircle. Either way, I don't see any picture...
 
  I have a new version of Asymptote: 1.18 - so it should work
  automatically with pdflatex.
 
  Any ideas?
  Maybe I should ask a different list?
 
  Thanks ahead,
  Peleg.
 
 
 
 
 

Re: Embedding asymptote in LyX

[Peleg Michaeli]

Ok, I have succeded to export to TeX, and I am now trying asymptote as
the instructions advised.

It is NOT a LyX question, I guess, but still it might be useful to ask
it here, since I believe that there are LyX users who use Asymptote...
and because it might be still LyX related, because of the following
fact:
doing what the instructions advised, on a test.tex file which contains
only what's written in this document, works well. Here is the code:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{asymptote}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{asy}
size (3cm);
draw (unitcircle);
\end{asy}
\caption{Embedded Asymptote figures are easy!}
\label{fig:embedded}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Again - this code works WELL.

So now I am trying to do the same with an exported-to-tex LyX document.
For that purpose, I have created a very simple LyX document, and
exported it to TeX; it worked as well.

I have tried to make it a bit more complicated - I tried to do the SAME
simple document, but in Hebrew (as I usually do). I have left the code
inside the asymptote example in English.

And that's it. Now it is not working any more...

A simple analyzation of the situation:
a. when the document was in English, the first pdflatex asytest2 had
created a file named asytest2.asy with this line in it:
defaultfilename='asytest2_1';
this is probably good, because the command asy asytest2 generates a
file asytest2_1.pdf with the unit circle, and the second pdflatex
asytest2 generates asytest2.pdf with the unit circle embedded.
but:
b. when the document is still mainly in English, but I have a *single
word* in Hebrew (actually, in a Hebrew direction, but it is still with
English characters; it looks like that: [in the tex file] sometext
\inputencoding{cp1255}\R{some more text}) then the first pdflatex
asytest2 generates the file asytest2.asy as before, but in it, the
relevant line is now:
defaultfilename='asytest2_\protect \beginL 1\endL ';
and that is probably not good, since the command asy asytest2
generates a file named asytest2_\protect eginL 1\endL .pdf (which
can't be good) and of course, the second pdflatex asytest2 does *not*
embed the nice unitcircle from that pdf.

manually removing the line \inputencoding{cp1255}\R{text} does not
make any difference, so I assumed it is something with the main
configuration of the tex file. So, I have compared to files, one with
thi encoding difference, and one without, that are otherwise the same,
and these are the results:
The ONLY difference (besides the line with
\inputencoding{cp1255}\R{text} - which its removal changes nothing), is
in the heading -
\documentclass[10pt,english]{article} becomes
\documentclass[10pt,hebrew,english]{article}
and \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} becomes
\usepackage[cp1255,latin9]{inputenc}

I have tried to remove only one of them, so see what happens... I have
tried only to remove hebrew from the first line, but then the second
line caused an error; so I have kept the hebrew in the first line, and
removed cp1255 from the second line. well, that didn't change anything
either.
Removing both changes, that is, removing both hebrew and cp1255 from
the heading, return the situation - of course - to the one we had in the
beginning - a pure English document; then, of course, it worked well
again.

That's my little research...
Any ideas?

Thanks ahead,
Peleg.

created a file named asytest2.asy with this line in it:
defaultfilename='asytest2_1';
this is probably good, because the command asy asytest2 generates a
file asytest2_1.pdf with the unit circle, and the second pdflatex
asytest2 generates asytest2.pdf with the unit circle embedded.
but:
b. when the document is still mainly in English, but I have a *single
word* in Hebrew (actually, in a Hebrew direction, but it is still with
English characters; it looks like that: [in the tex file] sometext
\inputencoding{cp1255}\R{some more text}) then the first pdflatex
asytest2 generates the file asytest2.asy as before, but in it, the
relevant line is now:
defaultfilename='asytest2_\protect \beginL 1\endL ';
and that is probably not good, since the command asy asytest2
generates a file named asytest2_\protect eginL 1\endL .pdf (which
can't be good) and of course, the second pdflatex asytest2 does *not*
embed the nice unitcircle from that pdf.

manually removing the line \inputencoding{cp1255}\R{text} does not
make any difference, so I assumed it is something with the main
configuration of the tex file. So, I have compared to files, one with
thi encoding difference, and one without, that are otherwise the same,
and these are the results:
The ONLY difference (besides the line with
\inputencoding{cp1255}\R{text} - which its removal changes nothing), is
in the heading -
\documentclass[10pt,english]{article} becomes
\documentclass[10pt,hebrew,english]{article}
and \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} becomes
\usepackage[cp1255,latin9]{inputenc}

I have tried to remove only one of them, so see what happens... I have
tried only to remove hebrew from the first line, but then the second
line caused an error; so I have kept the hebrew in the first line, and
removed cp1255 from the second line. well, that didn't change anything
either.
Removing both changes, that is, removing both hebrew and cp1255 from
the heading, return the situation - of course - to the one we had in the
beginning - a pure English document; then, of course, it worked well
again.

That's my little research...
Any ideas?

Thanks ahead,
Peleg.

Re: Embedding asymptote in LyX

[Peleg Michaeli]

Ok, I have succeded to export to TeX, and I am now trying asymptote as
the instructions advised.

It is NOT a LyX question, I guess, but still it might be useful to ask
it here, since I believe that there are LyX users who use Asymptote...
and because it might be still LyX related, because of the following
fact:
doing what the instructions advised, on a test.tex file which contains
only what's written in this document, works well. Here is the code:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{asymptote}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{asy}
size (3cm);
draw (unitcircle);
\end{asy}
\caption{Embedded Asymptote figures are easy!}
\label{fig:embedded}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Again - this code works WELL.

So now I am trying to do the same with an exported-to-tex LyX document.
For that purpose, I have created a very simple LyX document, and
exported it to TeX; it worked as well.

I have tried to make it a bit more complicated - I tried to do the SAME
simple document, but in Hebrew (as I usually do). I have left the code
inside the asymptote example in English.

And that's it. Now it is not working any more...

A simple analyzation of the situation:
a. when the document was in English, the first "pdflatex asytest2" had
created a file named "asytest2.asy" with this line in it:
defaultfilename='asytest2_1';
this is probably good, because the command "asy asytest2" generates a
file "asytest2_1.pdf" with the unit circle, and the second "pdflatex
asytest2" generates "asytest2.pdf" with the unit circle embedded.
but:
b. when the document is still mainly in English, but I have a *single
word* in Hebrew (actually, in a Hebrew "direction", but it is still with
English characters; it looks like that: [in the tex file] sometext
\inputencoding{cp1255}\R{some more text}) then the first "pdflatex
asytest2" generates the file "asytest2.asy" as before, but in it, the
relevant line is now:
defaultfilename='asytest2_\protect \beginL 1\endL ';
and that is probably not good, since the command "asy asytest2"
generates a file named "asytest2_\protect eginL 1\endL .pdf" (which
can't be good) and of course, the second "pdflatex asytest2" does *not*
embed the nice unitcircle from that pdf.

manually removing the line "\inputencoding{cp1255}\R{text}" does not
make any difference, so I assumed it is something with the main
configuration of the tex file. So, I have compared to files, one with
thi encoding difference, and one without, that are otherwise the same,
and these are the results:
The ONLY difference (besides the line with
\inputencoding{cp1255}\R{text} - which its removal changes nothing), is
in the heading -
\documentclass[10pt,english]{article} becomes
\documentclass[10pt,hebrew,english]{article}
and \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} becomes
\usepackage[cp1255,latin9]{inputenc}

I have tried to remove only one of them, so see what happens... I have
tried only to remove hebrew from the first line, but then the second
line caused an error; so I have kept the "hebrew" in the first line, and
removed "cp1255" from the second line. well, that didn't change anything
either.

Embedding asymptote in LyX

[Peleg Michaeli]

Hello!

I am trying to embed Asymptote in LyX documents.

I am following this tutorial:
http://www.dse.nl/~dario/projects/asylatex/asylatex.pdf

I am doing everything as suggested:
* I have included \usepackage{asymptote} and
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} in the LaTeX preamble
* I have done Crtl-L in the middle of the document and added this LaTeX
code:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{asy}
size (3cm);
draw (unitcircle);
\end{asy}
\caption{Embedded Asymptote figures are easy!}
\label{fig:embedded}
\end{figure}

When I generate the document (using pdflatex), I get nothing special: a
figure with PDF written there, but no image (no unitcircle)...
when I do the same, but with DVI, I get EPS written instead of the
unitcircle. Either way, I don't see any picture...

I have a new version of Asymptote: 1.18 - so it should work
automatically with pdflatex.

Any ideas?
Maybe I should ask a different list?

Thanks ahead,
Peleg.
