I should of course have mentioned the excellent EmbeddedObjects manual (one of
the help-menus of LyX). Sorry.
There are two remarks: I can't get an output of the EmbeddedObjects manual.
The error message is
\cmidrule{1-2} \cmidrule{5-4}
You have given more \span or marks than there were
in the preamble to the \halign or \valign now in progress.
So I'll assume that you meant to type \cr instead.

Systemcall.cpp(237): Systemcall: 'pdflatex EmbeddedObjects.tex' finished

FileName.cpp(254): Could not move file /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ3586/lyxauto.TJ3586
to /usr/local/share/lyx20/doc/#EmbeddedObjects.lyx#
and a long log file which I could send to Uwe or other interested persons. I
wonder whether I am the only one who can not display this manual. It is a
pitty not to see the lyx output, especially the placement of floats.
Second remark
I did not use the sidecap package described in the EmbeddedObjects manual, but
the Koma-book version of it, captionbeside.

just saw that the EmbeddedObjects manual is available as a pdf file in the

lax file.

Fwd: Re: captionbeside lyx Koma book: summary
Thanks to Mukhtars instructions I managed to use the captionbeside package
correctly. I thought I should report to the list, since at some parts I asked
him directly.
Add to your preamble
\newcommand{\CapBesBeg}{%
\setcapindent*{0em}
\let\MyCaption\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}{\begin{captionbeside}}}
\newcommand{\CapBesEnd}{%
\end{captionbeside}
\setcapindent{0em}
\let\caption\MyCaption}
and then in the document include your figure as follows
\begin{figure}
\CapBesBeg\caption[Short Caption]{\label{fig:label}Long Caption}
[o]\includegraphics{figures/filename}\CapBesEnd
\end{figure}
This sounds easy, but I had some difficulties in LyX. Therefore the following
1- The figure in the float has to be below the caption text.
2- The \CapBesBeg and \CapBesEnd have to be in ERT (ctr-l) and have to be
inside the float.
3- The legend and one of the options [l],[r],[i],[o] have to precede the
figure (\includegraphics command) and in ERT. The options determine the
placement of the legend and the figure:
l left
r right
i inner margin in two-sided layout
o outer margin in two-sided layout
4- For the other figure floats which are not captionbeside-controlled, I had
difficulties with the
\setcapindent{0mm}
in my preamble -this prevents a caption indent, e.g.
Abbildung 3.27: Eine wachsende Polypeptidkette (rot und blau) erhält ihre
sekundäre
instead of
Abbildung 3.27: Eine wachsende Polypeptidkette (rot und blau) erhält
ihre sekundäre...
To make \setcapindent{0mm} work in the non-captionbeside-controlled captions
it has to be inserted AFTER the
\newcommand{\CapBesBeg}{%
\setcapindent*{0em}
\let\MyCaption\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}{\begin{captionbeside}}}
\newcommand{\CapBesEnd}{%
\end{captionbeside}
\setcapindent{0em}
\let\caption\MyCaption}
Otherwise it is apparently conflicting with the captionbeside package
5- I had several figures below each other in a float with just one caption.
Vertical space and a line break between them is not respected by the
captionbeside environment. One has to place the figures in a minipage
environment. The target size (e.g. 40% of textwidth) has to be specified in
the minipage environment (settingswidthtextwidth%) and not
in the figures themselves. The figures must be scaled to \textwidth in
order to avoid scaling twice.
I am thankful to Mukhtar and most of the remarks above are from his Mails.

Re: captionbeside lyx Koma book
Wolfgang Engelmann engelmann at uni-tuebingen.de writes:
I have a vertically long figure and a long caption text. I would like to use
captionbeside to fit figure and text on a page. I use Koma book and twocolumn
page style. For the figure I would of course use 'span columns' in the
settings for the float figure.
Has anybody done it successfully under LyX? Specifically, where in the
document do I place the ERT \FigBesBeg and \FigBesEnd?
The following placements give errors:
Abbildung
\ref{fig:RNApolymeraseTranskription} zeigt ... Transkription.
\inputencoding{latin1}{}\inputencoding{latin9}%
\begin{figure*}
\begin{centering}
\includegraphics[clip,width=0.4\textwidth]{BilderEG/6-16}

\begin{captionbeside}[Beginn der Transkription eines Gens durch Polymerase II]

\end{captionbeside}}

If Koma book and twocolumn page style do not go well together with
captionbeside, what are the alternatives?
Wolfgang,
For me the following method works:
Add to your preamble
\newcommand{\CapBesBeg}{%
\setcapindent*{0em}
\let\MyCaption\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}{\begin{captionbeside}}}
\newcommand{\CapBesEnd}{%
\end{captionbeside}
\setcapindent{0em}
\let\caption\MyCaption}
and then include your figure as follows
\begin{figure}
\CapBesBeg\caption[Short Caption]{\label{fig:label}Long Caption}
[o]\includegraphics{figures/filename}\CapBesEnd
\end{figure}
Let me know if you have any problems with that.
Mukhtar
Re: captionbeside lyx Koma book
Let me know if you have any problems with that. Mukhtar I forgot to mention that only \CapBesBeg, [o] and \CapBesEnd need to be in ERT. The rest you include as usual in LyX. Mukhtar

Wolfgang Wolfgang, When using captionbeside environment, you have to provide your legend before your figure. That does not mean that the legend will appear before the figure. The placement of the two depends on the optional argument, which in my screenshot is [o]. Following are the possible options: l – left r – right i – inner margin in two-sided layout o – outer margin in two-sided layout There are a few problems with your screenshot: 1) You issue \CapBesBeg and \includegraphics commands before (outside) the float figure environment. They have to be inside, as in my screenshot. 2) The legend and one of the options [l],[r],[i],[o] have to precede the \includegraphics command, which is not the case in your screenshot. I hope that helps. Mukhtar

Wolfgan,

Does the [o] determine, where the figure/legend is placed?
Could you tell me in the example screenshot I had send you where I should
place the CapBesBeg and the [o]?
Thanks for your patience and help!

Wolfgang,
When using captionbeside environment, you have to provide your legend
before your figure. That does not mean that the legend will appear before
the figure. The placement of the two depends on the optional argument,
which in my screenshot is [o]. Following are the possible options:
l â left
r â right
i â inner margin in two-sided layout
o â outer margin in two-sided layout
There are a few problems with your screenshot:
1) You issue \CapBesBeg and \includegraphics commands before (outside) the
float figure environment. They have to be inside, as in my screenshot.
2) The legend and one of the options [l],[r],[i],[o] have to precede the
\includegraphics command, which is not the case in your screenshot.
I hope that helps.

Good that it works now. I had the same situation once and I solved it by placing
\setcapindent{0mm} after the captionbeside definitions. So you don't need to
comment that. Just move it after the two \newcommand statements.

Re: captionbeside lyx Koma book
Wolfgang Engelmann engelmann at uni-tuebingen.de writes:
I have a vertically long figure and a long caption text. I would like to use
captionbeside to fit figure and text on a page. I use Koma book and twocolumn
page style. For the figure I would of course use 'span columns' in the
settings for the float figure.
Has anybody done it successfully under LyX? Specifically, where in the
document do I place the ERT \FigBesBeg and \FigBesEnd?
The following placements give errors:
Abbildung
\ref{fig:RNApolymeraseTranskription} zeigt ... Transkription.
\inputencoding{latin1}{}\inputencoding{latin9}%
\begin{figure*}
\begin{centering}
\includegraphics[clip,width=0.4\textwidth]{BilderEG/6-16}
\par\end{centering}
\begin{captionbeside}[Beginn der Transkription eines Gens durch Polymerase II]
{\label{fig:RNApolymeraseTranskription}...}
\end{captionbeside}}
\end{figure*}
If Koma book and twocolumn page style do not go well together with
captionbeside, what are the alternatives?
Wolfgang,
For me the following method works:
Add to your preamble
\newcommand{\CapBesBeg}{%
\setcapindent*{0em}
\let\MyCaption\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}{\begin{captionbeside}}}
\newcommand{\CapBesEnd}{%
\end{captionbeside}
\setcapindent{0em}
\let\caption\MyCaption}
and then include your figure as follows
\begin{figure}
\CapBesBeg\caption[Short Caption]{\label{fig:label}Long Caption}
[o]\includegraphics{figures/filename}\CapBesEnd
\end{figure}
Let me know if you have any problems with that.
Mukhtar
Re: captionbeside lyx Koma book
Let me know if you have any problems with that. Mukhtar I forgot to mention that only \CapBesBeg, [o] and \CapBesEnd need to be in ERT. The rest you include as usual in LyX. Mukhtar
