Thanks Tobias and Paul, problem solved. It was indeed twofold. For
reference, here is what I've done:

1) in order to get variation tables (is that correct?) to compile
correctly, I had to load the tkz-tab package instead of just tikz. (I
guess it's a superset of tikz with commands such as \TkzTabLine and so
on.)

2) My instant preview was indeed turned off, which I prefer for maths,
but there is the "no maths" option, which previews just the drawings. 

Very convenient!

You have to activate instant preview beforehand, going to

Tools -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Display.

Hmm... PFMJI, but I'd like to give this a try. Exactly how should it be
done? 

If I put the tikz code inside the Preview, I just get the code in the
output. If I put it inside TeX Code, I get an error ("control sequence
never def'd" about tkzTabInit)

I know my tikz code is OK because I was able to preview its result and
export to eps from the Qtikz utility. But it would be sooo much simpler
to get that directly under LyX!

If you insert the tikz code inside a preview box the figure will be
shown immediately, if you click over it you will see the code.

The preview box can be inserted in the same way as the tex code:

Insert -> TeX Code
Insert -> Preview

You are still responsible for adding the correct tikz code...

I can reproduce the problem. And it depends on the size of the vertical 
space set as paragraph separation. I am not sure how the preview 
rendering is done but I guess for some reason a paragraph break seems to 
be added at it's beginning.


I suggest you file a bug report.

Hello,

It seems like, inline tikz figures ignores the white spaces around the figure. 
So, even if you shift the figure, you will not see a change in the PDF. To fix 
that you can use "baseline" as in:

\tikz[baseline]{\draw (0,0pt) circle (4pt);}

This seems to glue the 0,0 center point to the baseline.

See the SE query at

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/416226/move-an-inline-tikz-node-vertically-to-align-with-baseline-of-surrounding-text

I think this may help with your PDF output.

When it comes to LyX rendering, I don't think you should expect too much from 
LyX. As far as I know, the "Instant Preview" option is not intended to show the 
perfect PDF output. Maybe it needs an adjustment with the inline Tikz figures. 
You can report this issue to the developers, if you wish.

Here included my test file.
I have to correct my observations here (probably my tikz command, a 
few hours ago, was not the same; not sure):
- both normal position circle and the shifted one, have been cut off, 
as displayed by LyX.
- no cut off, no shift for both normal position circle and the shifted 
one, as rendered as pdf.

Thank you

 You need to use an absolute path to the data files.  I just set up Fauske's
 example in LyX.  After changing

 \def\temperaturedata{data/temperaturesOslo.txt}
 \def\raindata{data/rainOslo.txt}

 to

 \def\temperaturedata{/temp/sparklines/temperaturesOslo.txt}
 \def\raindata{/temp/sparklines/rainOslo.txt}

 (and putting the data in C:\temp\sparklines on Windows) it worked.  My LyX
 file is attached.

 The problem is that LyX generates the DVI or PDF file in a temporary working
 directory. It exports the LaTeX version of your LyX doc to that working
 directory, and it knows to export graphics files that you inserted the usual
 way, but it doesn't recognize the data files here, so they don't get copied
 to the working directory -- which is fine if you use an absolute path, but a
 problem is you use a relative path.

 /Paul


This is next example that LyX should have a user configurable file
copier for advanced users. One of its abilites should be putting
proper file paths in places where it is needed.

The problem is that LyX generates the DVI or PDF file in a temporary 
working directory. It exports the LaTeX version of your LyX doc to that 
working directory, and it knows to export graphics files that you 
inserted the usual way, but it doesn't recognize the data files here, so 
they don't get copied to the working directory -- which is fine if you 
use an absolute path, but a problem is you use a relative path.

Thanks, that did the trick. Since I'm using Linux, I had to modify the line as:

\def\radius{\string"/home/jwaskiewicz/Dropbox/2009-2010/Chemistry/Unit
6/data/radius\string".txt}

I suppose if I work on my Mac, I'll need to make further changes.

Thank-you very much!

Hello to all,

5. I still get errors when compiling:
A few of them are like 'Missing } or \cr' inserted.
The others go like 'Package error: No shape named base
is known'. Sometimes, it says 'M' instead of 'shape'.

What can i do to solve these problems? 

Can you send us your file, then we can have a look at what is wrong ?

I enclosed the lyx file.
The code I used can be found on the link I sent in the first email


If you paste the code into LyX, you should use Edit-Paste
Special-Plain Text. If you do that, the newlines are preserved. In the
document you have now, there are some % characters disabling code.

See the attached.

Re: TikZ in LyX

I've just tried a few TikZ scripts in the 2.0.0 svn version of LyX. 

   The more complicated ones tend to fail for me (I'm not sure why; I don't 
have time to track down what is going wrong at the moment). However, the one 
here: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/nav1d/ works, possibly because it's 
so simple. 

  Does it work for you?

Hello to all,

I am quite new to using LaTeX and even newer to using it with LyX. However,
I tried to use the
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/free-body-diagrams/ TikZ package
from LyX. 

I did it the following way:
1. download the package and extract the file content to Program
Files\MikTeX\
2. Insert one of the example codes (see link above) in TeXnic Center -
works.
3. Insert the same example code as a new TeX code block ('Insert TeX code')
into LyX. When Compiling, i get a few errors, mainly 'Can be used only in
preamble' and 'Environment tikzpicture undefined', and a few others. 
4. I fixed these errors by deleting the \documentclass and \enddocument
commands. In addition, I inserted the \usepackage and the \usetikzlibrary
commands in the document settings (Document - Settings - Latex preamble).
Of course, i deleted these lines from the code.
5. I still get errors when compiling:
A few of them are like 'Missing } or \cr' inserted.
The others go like 'Package error: No shape named base is known'. Sometimes,
it says 'M' instead of 'shape'.

What can i do to solve these problems? 

Thank you a lot in advance for your help!
