Hallo All
I am really frustrated, and in lack of time! Ok I am using lyx to write my thesis, following are my document settings and preambles: Document Class: report Line spacing: Single Page layout: A4 Headings style :plain Two sided document Margins: Top: 45 mm Bottom: 45mm Inner: 30mm Outer: 40mm Head step: 35mm Head height: 15mm Foot skip: 35mm Floar Placement: here definitely Latex preamble: \usepackage{ %a4wide, ellipsis, fixltx2e, mparhack, %Fehlerkorrektur für Marginalien booktabs, longtable %schönere Tabellen } \usepackage{microtype} \usepackage{ifpdf} % part of the hyperref bundle \ifpdf % if pdflatex is used \usepackage{graphics} Now I have following problems, my images end up sometime creating huge gaps between image and paragraph etc. My paraghraps spaces are not formatted nicely And things like small skip medium skip etc is most of the time totally ignored. I had one reply saying I should use: \nccparskip how do I write this into the preamble, cuy if I just type this into the preamble I get an error code during compiling pdf. Further I have attached one of these missformated images, plus its tex code. One more thing I use both eps and jpg images in my text. Thanks. Tex code generated by lyx: A smilar pattern is presented in Fig. 4.3, as a comparison, one can see a larger scan range, which is left out in our case, since a larger scan range yielded in no extra information. From the phase diagram in Fig. 2.14 it is evident that hematite + magnetite can form over a large range of different enviornmental conditions. % \begin{figure}[H] \includegraphics[clip,scale=0.6]{Graphics/OutofBooks/MgO_kbeta} \caption[2$\theta-\theta$ scan of MgO substrate with iron oxide thin films ]{2$\theta-\theta$ scan of MgO substrate with iron oxide thin films \cite{Soeya2002} } \end{figure} Studying the oxygen flow influence on film formation, it can be concluded that lower oxygen content during deposition at a deposition pressure of 3$\times$10$^{-2}$ mbar yields better formation of Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$. This is evident in a more pronounced shoulder on the MgO peak, which is shown in Fig. 4.4. The figure shows in acending order the 2$\theta-\theta$ scans of deposition runs in which O$_{2}$:Ar ratio have been varried. This ratio is defined as $\frac{flow\, of\, oxygen\,[sccm]}{flow\, of\, argon\,[sccm]}$. It can be seen that the shoulder becomes more prominent as the oxygen level decreases, at the same time a broader peak is seen, further indicating the formation of magnetite. The first lowes scan shows the 2$\theta-\theta$ of a cleaned and annealed MgO substrate, the
