Re: LyX 2.3.1 -- Beamer presentation

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

That was most certainly not an MWE :-0-O

It's much easier when you remove everything that does not generate the
issue, or the other way around, put only exactly what produces the
issue.  The side effect of this is that it's an iterative method, which
often makes one find the cause :-)-O

I can confirm that. However, I use a custom binding of Ctrl+Alt+Return 
(which is easier for me to remember and type than Alt+P Shift+Return) to 
"call newframe", which starts a new frame even from an overprint paragraph.

Hi,

I couldn't compile the file at first and had to remove all equations for 
some reason. But I guess that is not the problem on your system.


As for the jump, there was a typewriter formatting between your first 
and second frame. I am not sure how it got there or why it causes this 
problem.


You can fix it by removing the separator between the first and second 
frame and adding it again. Or, alternatively, select the separator 
together with the second frame label "Frame (plain)" and reset the 
family via Text Style.


Is that what you were after?

Best,
Daniel

Hi

When a beamer presentation is presenting a itemised list line by
line and the first (the only one at the time) line is shorter than later
lines, then the heading on the first frame in not aligned with later
frames.  It demonstrates a pronounced jump.

This did not happen with earlier versions.

Is there any way to ensure the alignment is to the left as the
action suggests some form of centring.

I've never heard of this happening before. Perhaps a LaTeX package got
updated somehow and the new version is incompatibile with the old. It's
hard to know without a minimal example .tex or .lyx file. For more
information, please read:

https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

If you can send a minimal example (please send all email to the list),
perhaps someone can figure it out.

In any case, sorry to your friend and to you for the frustration. I hope
you're not on the hook for having recommended LyX :)

Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility

[Christos Makridis]

Hey Lyx Community,

One of my collaborators downloaded lyx, but for some reason it prevented
her from compiling her latex files as she normally did. After she
uninstalled lyx, there was still a problem with beamer, which would not
compile. Specifically, it gave the following error:
---
(C:/Users/filepathXX
i_DEc2016_NBER.nav
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \beamer@endinputifotherversion
{3.33pt}
?
---

Does anyone know why this happened, and if there's a way to avoid it? I
googled the error and it looks like the problem arises from something on
line 1 in the beamer file. But, even so, why was it not a problem before
lyx was installed, and why is it a problem even after it is uninstalled?

Thank you for your help!

Re: Lyx and beamer again.

I have never understood the purpose of \lyxframe and \lyxframeend when
the standard \begin{frame} and \end{frame} are available.

Conceding my almost complete ignorance on this topic, wouldn't it be
better to for LyX to use standard Beamer / LaTeX commands whenever
possible? This would seem to improve interoperability with users of
pure latex, as well as to adhere to the general principle of keeping
things simple and not introducing complications that are not needed.

Indeed, a sane argument UI is a major prerequisite (next to features such as 
NextNested which automatically nests following paragraphs). However, the 
argument interface needs to be flexible. The beamer case shows that there's 
not one perfect UI for all argument-type entries. While many optional and 
required arguments are best handled via a dialog (as proposed by me in that 
report) -- for instance the optional and overlay arguments of frame --, 
arguments such as the frame title should best be inserted directly to the 
workarea (as the current UI does). For other use cases, even the current 
clumsy collapsable inset might be the best approach.

So we need a broad macro and environment argument abstraction and several user 
interfaces on top of that.

Lyx and beamer again.

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

Contrary to what I have announced in my preceding post, I continue to try
to import my latex beamers, following the schema to which I have arrived
after the remarks of Guenter : convert first the document to article;
neutralize the frame commands; import in Lyx; set the document class to
beamer; reintroduce frame commands by hand.

This works better than trying to import the beamer document directly.

But, I have other problems to solve:

- I have spent some time before observing that, when I have set the
document class to Presentation(beamer) in Lyx; it has introduced the
definition of \lyxframe, but not the one of the \lyxframeend. Once I have
introduced it in the preamble, I have been able to compile the document
when I export to latex.

- Compiling from Lyx poses problem, since I have an animated diagram with
multi-include, introduced in an ERT. When I want to preview the pdf, Lyx
cannot find the pdf files in the temp folder and complains about it. I have
given the path to the pdf files in the Texinputs box , by completing it
like: .:/Users/me/myyfolderpath
but  this does not seem to help enough Lyx and it continues to not to find
the pdf graphics and complain that they do have a bounding box (I can
perfectly compile running pdflatex on the exported version, in the original
folder (myfolderpath).

Any idea why pdflatex run by Lyx cannot find my graphics?

We had questions about this problem, but I have thought that this texinputs
box in the prefs was there for exactly this problem.

By the way : it would be better to be able to set the Texinputs variable in
the document properties, since it is in general document dependent, if one
groups all files together for each document.

Regards,

Murat

Lyx and beamer again.

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

Contrary to what I have announced in my preceding post, I continue to try
to import my latex beamers, following the schema to which I have arrived
after the remarks of Guenter : convert first the document to article;
neutralize the frame commands; import in Lyx; set the document class to
beamer; reintroduce frame commands by hand.

This works better than trying to import the beamer document directly.

But, I have other problems to solve:

- I have spent some time before observing that, when I have set the
document class to Presentation(beamer) in Lyx; it has introduced the
definition of \lyxframe, but not the one of the \lyxframeend. Once I have
introduced it in the preamble, I have been able to compile the document
when I export to latex.

- Compiling from Lyx poses problem, since I have an animated diagram with
multi-include, introduced in an ERT. When I want to preview the pdf, Lyx
cannot find the pdf files in the temp folder and complains about it. I have
given the path to the pdf files in the Texinputs box , by completing it
like: .:/Users/me/myyfolderpath
but  this does not seem to help enough Lyx and it continues to not to find
the pdf graphics and complain that they do have a bounding box (I can
perfectly compile running pdflatex on the exported version, in the original
folder (myfolderpath).

Any idea why pdflatex run by Lyx cannot find my graphics?

We had questions about this problem, but I have thought that this texinputs
box in the prefs was there for exactly this problem.

By the way : it would be better to be able to set the Texinputs variable in
the document properties, since it is in general document dependent, if one
groups all files together for each document.

Murat

 LyX's beamer support is kind of strange, in part because of LyX's
 limited ability to handle arguments and in part because frames act like
 insets but are rendered more like commands. This is why there is the odd
 \lyxframeend{} macro. 

The reason for the strange implementation is LyX's merging of
subsequent paragraphs of the same style into one LaTeX environment.

The beamer author invented this workaround several versions before the
--environment separator dummy style was added.

Another alternative is implementing the frame environment (and
similar) as custom insets. (Again, this is only possible in recent
versions, years after the original beamer layout was written.)
This alternative is chosen by my new version of seminar.layout
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7624

 Anyway, it does not surprise me that LyX has trouble importing beamer
 files properly. I think the only thing you can really do is clean it up
 manually.

I propose an alternative beamer layout, either relying on nesting and
--environment separator-- or with custom insets.
With such a layout in the personal LyXdir, import of beamer sources
and co-operating with no-LyXers might become easier.

Hi Günter,
I think that SW produces quite clean Latex files and the coding of the
sections uses quite standard commands. For example, one of the sections that
ended up in an ERB is:

\section{Une br\`{e}ve histoire de la croissance}


which is quite standard to my eyes.


What is not standard in SW is the use of comments for the Tex boxes and they
pollute a lot the final converted document in Lyx. This is why I do clean
them from the tex file before import (using regular expressions bases search
and replace).


But, it is strange that \begin{frame} is not recognized by Lyx and end up in
a ERB. I could maybe replace them by \lyxframebegin; but that would not be
simple since I must also handle, in this case, the \frametitle command's
argument (by transfering it of \lyxframebegin)... That could introduce more
mess in some cases if I am not careful :-(

Thank you Guenter,

That works better visually, but I crash too frequently after having
introduced this environment in the layout file. There must be something
tricky going on... If I have sometime during summer, I will check if I can
create a more complete layout adapted for the importation of my beamer
files. But I have several new courses to build this summer and I am not sure
at all to have this time.

Hi Günter,
I think that SW produces quite clean Latex files and the coding of the
sections uses quite standard commands. For example, one of the sections that
ended up in an ERB is:

\section{Une br\`{e}ve histoire de la croissance}


which is quite standard to my eyes.


What is not standard in SW is the use of comments for the Tex boxes and they
pollute a lot the final converted document in Lyx. This is why I do clean
them from the tex file before import (using regular expressions bases search
and replace).


But, it is strange that \begin{frame} is not recognized by Lyx and end up in
a ERB. I could maybe replace them by \lyxframebegin; but that would not be
simple since I must also handle, in this case, the \frametitle command's
argument (by transfering it of \lyxframebegin)... That could introduce more
mess in some cases if I am not careful :-(

Thank you Guenter,

That works better visually, but I crash too frequently after having
introduced this environment in the layout file. There must be something
tricky going on... If I have sometime during summer, I will check if I can
create a more complete layout adapted for the importation of my beamer
files. But I have several new courses to build this summer and I am not sure
at all to have this time.

Would it solve this specific problem just to remove the ERT box with
\end{frame}?

The reason for the "strange" implementation is LyX's merging of
subsequent paragraphs of the same style into one LaTeX environment.

The beamer author invented this workaround several versions before the
"--environment separator" dummy style was added.

Another alternative is implementing the "frame" environment (and
similar) as custom insets. (Again, this is only possible in "recent"
versions, years after the original beamer layout was written.)
This alternative is chosen by my new version of seminar.layout
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7624

I propose an alternative beamer layout, either relying on nesting and
--environment separator-- or with custom insets.
With such a layout in the personal LyXdir, import of beamer sources
and co-operating with no-LyXers might become easier.

Indeed. However, conversion from "machine written" LaTeX (be it
OpenOffice, SW, a Word2TeX converter or some other front end) is
always even more complicated. Some of these tools do "fingerpainting"
instead of structring the document.

It is indeed. And usually \section commands are recognized by reLyX,
so it seems something threw it off before this line.

...

The reason is, that there is not Style for the "frame" environment in
the standard beamer.layout file. Instead, there is the "BeginFrame"
style that translates to \lyxframeend{}\lyxframe.

I propose an alternative beamer.layout file without all these
"lyxframe...". This is somewhere down on my TODO list (after getting
some more knowledge about beamer).

As a start, you could try to copy beamer.layout to your $LYXDIR/layout/
directory and add a Frame style (definition adapted from my
seminar.layout, not tested):

Style Frame
LatexType   Environment
LatexName   frame
NextNoIndent1
Margin  Static
LeftMargin  N
ParIndent   ""
TopSep  0.4
LabelType   Top_Environment
LabelString "Landscape Slide:"
End

Then, re-try the import. If this helps a bit, we can try to devise a
more standard beamer layout.

Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

I have imported a beamer document written previously by Scientific Word
(portable latex). The \begin{frame} and \end{frame} instruction have been
imported as evel red boxes. This is not a problem in itself, but now, when I
introduce a section between two frames Lyx introduces a \lyxframeend
instruction that I do need and that seems to crash the compilation of my
file (I get an emergency stop in Latex, without further information - I have
exported to latex and compiled by hand to see what is going on).

Is this normal that Lyx introduces these \lyxframeend commands even if I
have not used the New Frame environment? How can I correct the problem?
Is \lyxframeend an intelligent problem that is able to check if a frame is
already open (in which case, my problem could be caused by something else)?

Thank you very much for your help!

Murat

PS. I also send the message to developers, hoping that they would better
know how \lyxframeend works.

LyX's beamer support is kind of strange, in part because of LyX's

Re: Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thanks Richard,

This is really bad news for me, since I have a whole bunch of course beamers
that I would like to convert to Lyx, since I am trying to definitely ditch
Scientific Word (after having lived for some time with both SW and Lyx).

My beamer documents are not particularly fancy, with some pauses and
\onslide etc. options, but Lys seems to suffer a lot from the conversion. I
also clean all comments from the .tex files, since they fill the Lyx window,
without any real use. This helps Lyx, but it is not very efficient in
conversion. Moreover, the error messages I get from Latex are not always
very helpful (but this another problem, well known by me from my latex by
hand days ;-)  ).

Lyx is not able to recognize \section like commands and translate them to
its environment structure (this is how I got the \lyxframeend problem: I
wanted to have more readable section titles, by selection the corresponding
environment for them). Neither options really get through the conversion
(for onslide, for example, \onslide gets in an ERB but not its option, but
this does not seem to annoy latex, so no problem here).

This is really very annoying indeed... We can only gain our co-authors to
Lyx if the conversion from Latex is quite painless.

How other people handle this? I really would not like to have to recreate
everything from scratch (even partially, since I have a lot of files to
convert).

Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

I have imported a beamer document written previously by Scientific Word
(portable latex). The \begin{frame} and \end{frame} instruction have been
imported as evel red boxes. This is not a problem in itself, but now, when I
introduce a section between two frames Lyx introduces a \lyxframeend
instruction that I do need and that seems to crash the compilation of my
file (I get an emergency stop in Latex, without further information - I have
exported to latex and compiled by hand to see what is going on).

Is this normal that Lyx introduces these \lyxframeend commands even if I
have not used the New Frame environment? How can I correct the problem?
Is \lyxframeend an intelligent problem that is able to check if a frame is
already open (in which case, my problem could be caused by something else)?

Thank you very much for your help!

Murat

PS. I also send the message to developers, hoping that they would better
know how \lyxframeend works.

LyX's beamer support is kind of strange, in part because of LyX's
limited ability to handle arguments and in part because frames act like
insets but are rendered more like commands. This is why there is the odd

GMANE is acting weirdly -- it won't display the original text of your question.
 At any rate, the answer is that the diagram can indeed be reproduced in LyX

I just created a .lyx file with the code in your email an it works!

Thanks!

Another cool thing that I would like to be able to do with LyX is this
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/gnuplot-basics/
Is it possible?

Thanks!

Yes (example attached).  You obviously need to have Gnuplot installed.  
You also need to modify the converter LyX uses.  In Tools  
Preferences...  File Handling  Converters, highlight the LaTeX 
(pdflatex) - PDF (pdflatex) converter.  Change the converter line to


pdflatex --shell-escape $$i

and click Modify and then Save.

GMANE is acting weirdly -- it won't display the original text of your question.
 At any rate, the answer is that the diagram can indeed be reproduced in LyX
(see below).  I put the various chunks of the formula in ERT, as new LaTeX

Yes (example attached).  You obviously need to have Gnuplot installed.  
You also need to modify the converter LyX uses.  In Tools  
Preferences...  File Handling  Converters, highlight the LaTeX 
(pdflatex) - PDF (pdflatex) converter.  Change the converter line to


pdflatex --shell-escape $$i

and click Modify and then Save.

Re: LyX + arrows +beamer?

GMANE is acting weirdly -- it won't display the original text of your question.
 At any rate, the answer is that the diagram can indeed be reproduced in LyX
(see below).  I put the various chunks of the formula in ERT, as new LaTeX
commands, but that's not necessary.  You can do it in the equation editor, with
a couple of tricks: use \{ to create an inset with braces around it for

Thanks!

Another cool thing that I would like to be able to do with LyX is this
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/gnuplot-basics/
Is it possible?

Thanks!

Yes (example attached).  You obviously need to have Gnuplot installed.  
You also need to modify the converter LyX uses.  In Tools > 
Preferences... > File Handling > Converters, highlight the LaTeX 
(pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex) converter.  Change the converter line to


pdflatex --shell-escape $$i

and click Modify and then Save.
