 Hi all,
 
 I am having a similar problem with a related package--xyling (it
 relies on xypic, just has some extra macros for linguistic trees).
 
 OS 10.6.8
 LyX 2.1.2
 
 File attached. When I hit ps2pdf to preview, the file just does not
 appear, although LyX thinks it's successfully made a PDF. I can create
 a pdf from a minimal file using Postscript, but something is wrong
 with the PS2PDF script. Unfortunately, I cannot generate a PDF from my
 more complex file using Postscript--that one also reports successful
 file creation, but not PS or PDF appears.
 
 Oh, and there is no cx folder in /var/folders on my system.

This is a temporary directory and the name is random. You can see the
start of in in the preference pane. The cx etc. referred to the path
in Dough's email post.

For normal preview operation you don't need to know it. The menu item
Document - LaTeX Log knows where to look for the log file. The View
Complete Log button does the same. 

The preview problem of Dough is the inline display of code snippets
and the log of this is not that easily found.

 XeTeX and LuaTeX both have command definition conflicts for xyling,
 but I've had problems generating PDFs with the simplest files using
 these methods since about 2.1 (both return an error about the \sups
 command being already defined). Not using \sups in the test file, as
 you can see.

The xyling_fail.lyx document works for me. The xetex_fail.lyx leads to
the \sups problem too. It goes away when removing \usepackage{tipa}
from the preamble. After this it compiles if one adds the missing
closing brace of the \newcommand{\rul} … definition.

This is a temporary directory and the name is random. You can see the

The xyling_fail.lyx document works for me. The xetex_fail.lyx leads to
the \sups problem too. It goes away when removing "\usepackage{tipa}"
from the preamble. After this it compiles if one adds the missing
closing brace of the "\newcommand{\rul} …" definition.

Re: LyX preview problem

2014-10-16 Thread Maria Gouskova
Hi all,

I am having a similar problem with a related package--xyling (it
relies on xypic, just has some extra macros for linguistic trees).

OS 10.6.8
LyX 2.1.2

File attached. When I hit ps2pdf to preview, the file just does not
appear, although LyX thinks it's successfully made a PDF. I can create
a pdf from a minimal file using Postscript, but something is wrong
with the PS2PDF script. Unfortunately, I cannot generate a PDF from my
more complex file using Postscript--that one also reports successful
file creation, but not PS or PDF appears.

Oh, and there is no cx folder in /var/folders on my system.

XeTeX and LuaTeX both have command definition conflicts for xyling,
but I've had problems generating PDFs with the simplest files using
these methods since about 2.1 (both return an error about the \sups
command being already defined). Not using \sups in the test file, as
you can see.

Dear Stephan, 

Sure. On my screen I see 
   X\ar[r] Y
Instead of 
X - Y
Normally, when I am editing my diagram I see my xypic code and when I place the 
cursor outside the editing area, the diagram converts from code to a picture. 
Now, I see my code, but I do not see the picture when I place the cursor 
outside the editing area. 
Does this help? 
Thanks!

 Dear Stephan, 
 
 Sure. On my screen I see 
   X\ar[r] Y
 Instead of 
X - Y
 Normally, when I am editing my diagram I see my xypic code and when I place 
 the cursor outside the editing area, the diagram converts from code to a 
 picture. Now, I see my code, but I do not see the picture when I place the 
 cursor outside the editing area. 
 Does this help? 

Sorry, no it doesn't help.  A minimal example is a complete LyX file.
See here: http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

 Thanks!
 Doug

My apologies. Here are two lyx files.
The one titled displays.lyx displays my diagram. The other one does not.

that's better. But I have to say: both are working on my system -
a Mac with LyX-2.1.2 on OS X 10.8.6. I've noticed I have to click
somewhere sometimes to trigger the display of the preview snippet.

The two examples are different only regarding the \use_non_tex_fonts
and the \font_roman setting in the preferences.

What you can do to check for errors converting is to open the message

Stephan,

Yes! going to document settings, fonts, and then unclicking “Use non-Tex 
fonts…” solves the problem with displaying my diagram. Thank you.
Now with that option unchecked, I cannot typeset my document using command-R. I 
guess I can use other ways to view my output, though.
Do you know why command-R doesn’t work? Is there a way to fix that?
Before my update I did not encounter this, so something must be different now!

 Normally, when I am editing my diagram I see my xypic code and when I place 
 the cursor outside the editing area, the diagram converts from code to a 
 picture. Now, I see my code, but I do not see the picture when I place the

 Does this help? 

Sorry, no it doesn't help.  A minimal example is a complete LyX file.

that's better. But I have to say: both are working on my system -
a Mac with LyX-2.1.2 on OS X 10.8.6. I've noticed I have to click
somewhere sometimes to trigger the display of the preview snippet.

The two examples are different only regarding the \use_non_tex_fonts

What you can do to check for errors converting is to open the message

the problem if one exists.

Stephan,

Yes! going to document settings, fonts, and then unclicking “Use non-Tex 
fonts…” solves the problem with displaying my diagram. Thank you.
Now with that option unchecked, I cannot typeset my document using command-R. I 
guess I can use other ways to view my output, though.
Do you know why command-R doesn’t work? Is there a way to fix that?
Before my update I did not encounter this, so something must be different now!

Re: LyX preview problem

Stephan,
My apologies. Here are two lyx files.
The one titled displays.lyx displays my diagram. The other one does not.
Thank you for your help and patience!

Doug,

that's better. But I have to say: both are working on my system -
a Mac with LyX-2.1.2 on OS X 10.8.6. I've noticed I have to click
somewhere sometimes to trigger the display of the preview snippet.

The two examples are different only regarding the \use_non_tex_fonts
and the \font_roman setting in the preferences.

What you can do to check for errors converting is to open the message
pane and enable the graphics conversion message. There you should see
the problem if one exists.

Stephan, Thank you for the suggestion. This is odd. I don’t recall having this 
problem before my upgrade to Mavericks. And very odd that is crops up in one 
file but not another.

It looks like python fails to process something...

Hi Dough,

note the difference in the two calls: the 2nd one has an additional switch 
"--latex=xelatex".
This may be caused by the XeTeX/LuaTeX setting in the document settings. 
Perhaps you can live
without it?

Stephan,

Yes! going to document settings, fonts, and then unclicking “Use non-Tex 
fonts…” solves the problem with displaying my diagram. Thank you.
Now with that option unchecked, I cannot typeset my document using command-R. I 
guess I can use other ways to view my output, though.
Do you know why command-R doesn’t work? Is there a way to fix that?
Before my update I did not encounter this, so something must be different now!
