Fwd: tear-off math panels
Re Intel Mac OSX 10.4 Previous testing for both Mac and Linux done after make using src/lyx. Now, after doing a make install on the Mac and starting the resulting LyX.app, the correct characters are displayed for all palettes with the exception of the Big Operators palette for which only some work correctly while others are displayed as text strings such as oiint. I assume this Big Operators problem might be due to some missing fonts in my system?? Hoping that the tear-off math palette feature makes it into rc2 Roger Begin earlier message: From: Roger Mc Murtrie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 15 June 2007 1:36:31 PM To: lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org Cc: E. Leuven [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: tear-off math panels I have tested the tear off panels on both Linux and Mac. Panels tear off when single clicked above a math palette's dashed line. There is one inconsistency between the Linux panel and the Mac panel in that the linux palette has a maximise icon whereas the Mac palette doesn't. This is a great improvement in math functionality and usability. I have a problem with the Mac's LyX display. When characters are entered from a math palette, the correct symbol is not displayed, instead an English character or string is displayed. For example, the math symbol greater-than-or-equal displays as geqq. However, ViewPDF (pdflatex) does produce the correct symbols. Roger

Select Greek menu, select a character, character entered, palette closes. But, problem character does not show as Greek (beta dispays as b, but pdflatex does produce beta.) Select Greek menu, click on frame, palette close. Select Greek menu, try to tear-off. I can't!!! Definitely worked last night! AH, just got it to work; I think I held the mouse button down for a longer time than usual with the pointer tip just on the dashed line or insignificantly above it. Any how, its torn off now. With mouse in upper bar palette can be moved freely around the screen. With palette over document, click in document but not in a math box. Palette stays on top and is grey - good . Click in a math box. Palette characters become black. Sequentially select characters from Greek palette. Characters are displayed but in English, NOT Greek. Click palette close button. Palette closes. My previous messages to you were late at night otherwise I would probably have done this testing at the time. (In fact, the computer called me out of bed Bep to address those messages! ) Now, off to the University to get it working on Linux. I did have another thought after my last message to you. That is, although I hadn't thought anything about it at the time, my initial inclination was to try and tear the palette off by clicking the mouse on the palette just BELOW the dashed line. This might be easier for users if it can be done and would also be a closer tearing-off metaphor. Just a thought. This home machine of mine is an Intel Mac with OSX 10.4. I'll l try the patch on my University Linux machine today and hopefully give your tear-off palettes a good work out. On 14/06/2007, at 12:14 AM, Leuven, E. wrote: Roger Mc Murtrie wrote: Great! It works. Close button and all!! Wonderfull!!! could you confirm that the menu disappear after a click when they are attached, but that they stay on top when torn-off? Just one suggestion. Can there be a little more space between the top of the pallette and the dashed line. I found that I had to be rather precise with mouse pointing to tear it off; which is why I didn't succeed previously. i agree, but we don't draw these ourselves so i am not sure we can control this...
