 I can get the left hand side, the one sided bracket and the 3x1 dimensional
 array.  The problem is that when I write the above elements in the array
 positions I don't get any spacing between what comes before "if" and after.
 In other words, I don't know how to control the spacing.  I want the three
 "if's" to line up on top of each other.
Have a look at the attached LyX file. I used a 3 x _2_ dimensional array
with left aligned columns to arrange the values and the if's (BTW: I
think a centered/left aligned arrangement could look even nicer?!). The
only problem I had was the quite small space between the
text-in-math-mode if's and the math-stuff right after, so I inserted two
"hard spaces" (evil and ugly but gives good looking results, IMHO).
 
Hope this helps...

 Also, I was telling someone at work about Lyx and they mentioned that there is
 a program called "Textures" that sounded similar.  Do you have any response on
 how I can say that this a different (better?) program?
No idea. Don't use anything similar to LyX, use LyX instead :-)

I'm writing my master's thesis with it and am very happy having LyX to
do so! Since now I can't even think of any other tool to write it this
comfortable.

incompatability between LyX 1.1.5 for Linux and Win9X?!

2000-07-06 Thread Martijn Brouwer

Hello everybody,
I have written a document containing a table float at home under linux.
This morning I worked again on this document, adding columns, rows and so
on, but under Win98. When I now try to open my document at home again, LyX
gives me the following error message:
Tabular format 5 not supported anymore. Try an older version for conversion.
After that, I get another popup telling me that the document may be
truncated, and LyX exits.
Opening this document in LyX 1.1.2 does not work, since it is created in
1.1.5.
What is the problem, did I finally find a bug ;-). I suppose I can work
around this by exporting to LaTeX, but it would off course be nice if this
is fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Martijn

A saved version never is backward compatible, I also removed support for
reading tables of version prior to 1.0.0! So if you want to read a document
written with an older version (1.0.x) then you have to load it into a
1.0.x version and save it from there!

 Dear Rachel,
 
 I've had a similar problem. What I have done is force lyx (latex) to use Type I

 and prevent Lyx from using the default encoiding "T1" by changing the
 lyxrc file in ~/.lyx, as follows:
 #\font_encoding "T1"   - this line is commented
 \font_encoding default   - this I have added

You only need to use one of the above (i.e., the 'ae' package is only needed
when you use the T1 font encoding).

It should also be mentioned that if you use ps2pdf to create the pdf, you
need to use ghostscript version = 6.0, and put the following in ~/.dvipsrc
  p+ psfonts.cmz
  p+ psfonts.amz

PS: Shouldn't this be in the FAQ?

Could be, but the impression I got from watching it load was that it just

if I can reproduce the behavior you describe, but normally the time it takes

small Windows problem!

2000-07-06 Thread Stephen Harris

Hi,

  The instructions provided by Claus Hentschel worked
very well. I think someone capable of partitioning, for-
matting, and installing Win98 can install LyX.

There were two problems. The Home directory was not
correct, but the bat file corrected it. Not quite sure how
to find out what the correction is, but that is Ok.

The main problem was the Display. I set this to 0.0 in
X-Win32(localhost:) and this was in the bat file. When
LyX installed, it only covered the right 2/3 of the screen.
I dragged the window to the left and loaded the tutorial.
About 14 characters were unavailable to the right of the
screen. Tried resizing the fonts, because that sometimes
will shrink the text inward. Nope. 

Tried changing my screen resolution from 800x600?
to 1074 or the next setting up and used large fonts in
the Win98 Control Panel/Display. This worked but
the color changed within the LyX program from green
though this is maybe normal? Things are a little small.

Changing to 0.1 in Xwin32 would not load LyX though
I did not modify the bat file. But that seems the wrong
way to go. Any suggestions for an 800x600 resolution?

I liked the tutorial and I like LyX,
Stephen

Hi Herbert,

That eliminates the italics, yes?  The reason I didn't address that is
because most chemical formulae I use have numbers rather than letters. 
A simple example is water (H2O).  Most inorganic equations fall nicely into
this.  More complicated examples tend to be schematic organics, at which 
point I use the Ochem package and my macros.

It seems that a better solution is to use the flag

 I can get the left hand side, the one sided bracket and the 3x1 dimensional
 array.  The problem is that when I write the above elements in the array
 positions I don't get any spacing between what comes before "if" and after.
 In other words, I don't know how to control the spacing.  I want the three
 "if's" to line up on top of each other.
Have a look at the attached LyX file. I used a 3 x _2_ dimensional array
with left aligned columns to arrange the values and the if's (BTW: I
think a centered/left aligned arrangement could look even nicer?!). The
only problem I had was the quite small space between the
text-in-math-mode if's and the math-stuff right after, so I inserted two
"hard spaces" (evil and ugly but gives good looking results, IMHO).
 
Hope this helps...

 Also, I was telling someone at work about Lyx and they mentioned that there is
 a program called "Textures" that sounded similar.  Do you have any response on
 how I can say that this a different (better?) program?
No idea. Don't use anything similar to LyX, use LyX instead :-)

I'm writing my master's thesis with it and am very happy having LyX to
do so! Since now I can't even think of any other tool to write it this
comfortable.

incompatability between LyX 1.1.5 for Linux and Win9X?!

2000-07-06 Thread Martijn Brouwer

Hello everybody,
I have written a document containing a table float at home under linux.
This morning I worked again on this document, adding columns, rows and so
on, but under Win98. When I now try to open my document at home again, LyX
gives me the following error message:
Tabular format 5 not supported anymore. Try an older version for conversion.
After that, I get another popup telling me that the document may be
truncated, and LyX exits.
Opening this document in LyX 1.1.2 does not work, since it is created in
1.1.5.
What is the problem, did I finally find a bug ;-). I suppose I can work
around this by exporting to LaTeX, but it would off course be nice if this
is fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Martijn

A saved version never is backward compatible, I also removed support for
reading tables of version prior to 1.0.0! So if you want to read a document

 and prevent Lyx from using the default encoiding "T1" by changing the
 lyxrc file in ~/.lyx, as follows:
 #\font_encoding "T1"   - this line is commented
 \font_encoding default   - this I have added

You only need to use one of the above (i.e., the 'ae' package is only needed
when you use the T1 font encoding).

It should also be mentioned that if you use ps2pdf to create the pdf, you
need to use ghostscript version = 6.0, and put the following in ~/.dvipsrc
  p+ psfonts.cmz
  p+ psfonts.amz

small Windows problem!

2000-07-06 Thread Stephen Harris

Hi,

  The instructions provided by Claus Hentschel worked
very well. I think someone capable of partitioning, for-
matting, and installing Win98 can install LyX.

There were two problems. The Home directory was not
correct, but the bat file corrected it. Not quite sure how
to find out what the correction is, but that is Ok.

The main problem was the Display. I set this to 0.0 in
X-Win32(localhost:) and this was in the bat file. When
LyX installed, it only covered the right 2/3 of the screen.
I dragged the window to the left and loaded the tutorial.
About 14 characters were unavailable to the right of the
screen. Tried resizing the fonts, because that sometimes
will shrink the text inward. Nope. 

Tried changing my screen resolution from 800x600?
to 1074 or the next setting up and used large fonts in
the Win98 Control Panel/Display. This worked but
the color changed within the LyX program from green
though this is maybe normal? Things are a little small.

Changing to 0.1 in Xwin32 would not load LyX though
I did not modify the bat file. But that seems the wrong
way to go. Any suggestions for an 800x600 resolution?

I liked the tutorial and I like LyX,
Stephen

Hi Herbert,

That eliminates the italics, yes?  The reason I didn't address that is
because most chemical formulae I use have numbers rather than letters. 
A simple example is water (H2O).  Most inorganic equations fall nicely into
this.  More complicated examples tend to be schematic organics, at which 
point I use the Ochem package and my macros.

I am trying to compile LyX 1.1.5 on my Solaris 2.7 and just can't get it
to work. I have seen other people have the same problem on the maillist,
but nothing seem to help. I am using gcc 2.95.2 and the latest (?)
libstdc++. I have tryed everything I can think of including installing a
new X server (X11R6.4). One potential problem is that I don't have root
access and it is impossible to convince our sysadmin to install anything
in the normal  file tree if it isn't copyrighted by Sun. I have saved
the configure and make outputs at

http://www.misu.su.se/~bror/config.log

and

http://www.misu.su.se/~bror/make.log

Many thanks in advance!!!

Hello,

It seems to be a problem with gcc.
To turn this problem off, you must add the following
flag in Makefiles : -fpermissive
so as to allow 'declaration with no type'

It seems that a better solution is to use the flag 
  -isystem /usr/openwin/include
which tells gcc that this directory is a system directory, and so that
weird things may happen.

Have a look at the attached LyX file. I used a 3 x _2_ dimensional array
with left aligned columns to arrange the values and the if's (BTW: I
think a centered/left aligned arrangement could look even nicer?!). The
only problem I had was the quite small space between the
text-in-math-mode if's and the math-stuff right after, so I inserted two
"hard spaces" (evil and ugly but gives good looking results, IMHO).
 
Hope this helps...

No idea. Don't use anything similar to LyX, use LyX instead :-)

I'm writing my master's thesis with it and am very happy having LyX to
do so! Since now I can't even think of any other tool to write it this
comfortable.

incompatability between LyX 1.1.5 for Linux and Win9X?!

2000-07-06 Thread Martijn Brouwer

Hello everybody,
I have written a document containing a table float at home under linux.
This morning I worked again on this document, adding columns, rows and so
on, but under Win98. When I now try to open my document at home again, LyX
gives me the following error message:
Tabular format <5 not supported anymore. Try an older version for conversion.
After that, I get another popup telling me that the document may be
truncated, and LyX exits.
Opening this document in LyX 1.1.2 does not work, since it is created in
1.1.5.
What is the problem, did I finally find a bug ;-). I suppose I can work
around this by exporting to LaTeX, but it would off course be nice if this
is fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Martijn

I assume that both version of LyX are 1.1.5. 

Could you create two identical documents with both versions, so that

A saved version never is backward compatible, I also removed support for
reading tables of version prior to 1.0.0! So if you want to read a document
written with an older version (<1.0.x) then you have to load it into a
1.0.x version and save it from there!

I observe one thing. When my document contains eps images
it takes a certain time to render it. So, if I don't wait 
the end of the rendering process before starting working, 
images are not shown. During this time, the cursor are a
strange blinking behaviour.

Of course, If I wait that the cursor blinks regularly,
all eps images are well shown.

I think it's what you've observed, isn't it ?

Is there a work around for the include problem? Currently, I'm using XEmacs 
to splice the 15 exported ASCII sections into one document.

It was the only text export command I could find in lyxrc.defaults

You only need to use one of the above (i.e., the 'ae' package is only needed
when you use the T1 font encoding).

It should also be mentioned that if you use ps2pdf to create the pdf, you
need to use ghostscript version >= 6.0, and put the following in ~/.dvipsrc
  p+ psfonts.cmz
  p+ psfonts.amz

Could be, but the impression I got from watching it load was that it just 
made no effort to render the eps images at all.  I'll try it again and see 
if I can reproduce the behavior you describe, but normally the time it takes 
to render these images is minimal.  (Just simple x-y plots, no color or 
anything.)  When I load it using the File -> Open menu, as opposed to the 
recent files list, it renders them rapidly without trouble.  (Which version 
are you using? I'm on 1.1.5)

Hmm... I actually find it quite usable as is.  I do Not write the entire
formula in math mode, opting instead to use that only for the
super/subscripts.  It helps to learn the shortcut keys for this (ctrl-m to
enter math mode, cap (^) to go superscript, and underline to go subscript. 
You need to hit the space bar to exit either. In this fashion you don't have
to worry about the italicizing of the letters in math mode.

I found after practicing on one or two equations that it worked quite
smoothly for me.

Nice thing about the editor is that isotopic symbols are properly set up
(mass over charge) (you might need spaces in one or the other to line them
up nicely if you get picky about it.. :).

small Windows problem!

2000-07-06 Thread Stephen Harris

Hi,

  The instructions provided by Claus Hentschel worked
very well. I think someone capable of partitioning, for-
matting, and installing Win98 can install LyX.

There were two problems. The Home directory was not
correct, but the bat file corrected it. Not quite sure how
to find out what the correction is, but that is Ok.

The main problem was the Display. I set this to 0.0 in
X-Win32(localhost:) and this was in the bat file. When
LyX installed, it only covered the right 2/3 of the screen.
I dragged the window to the left and loaded the tutorial.
About 14 characters were unavailable to the right of the
screen. Tried resizing the fonts, because that sometimes
will shrink the text inward. Nope. 

Tried changing my screen resolution from 800x600?
to 1074 or the next setting up and used large fonts in
the Win98 Control Panel/Display. This worked but
the color changed within the LyX program from green
though this is maybe normal? Things are a little small.

Changing to 0.1 in Xwin32 would not load LyX though
I did not modify the bat file. But that seems the wrong
way to go. Any suggestions for an 800x600 resolution?

I liked the tutorial and I like LyX,
Stephen

as an example we want to write 8th Floor with th in superscript:

That eliminates the italics, yes?  The reason I didn't address that is
because most chemical formulae I use have numbers rather than letters. 
A simple example is water (H2O).  Most inorganic equations fall nicely into
this.  More complicated examples tend to be schematic organics, at which 
point I use the Ochem package and my macros.

Did you change the installation prefix (/usr/local) or did you change
just the cfg path?

Well, at least for me the installation failed, the configuration 
files didn't install - why I don't know. I had to create the config
dir by hand, and copy the configuration files from "cfg" directory
to /usr/local/lib/latex2rtf...

\textsuperscript{ouga} does the job.
No ideas for subscripts.

Same problems with compilin LyX 1.1.5 on Sol 2.7

2000-07-06 Thread Bror Jonsson


I am trying to compile LyX 1.1.5 on my Solaris 2.7 and just can't get it
to work. I have seen other people have the same problem on the maillist,
but nothing seem to help. I am using gcc 2.95.2 and the latest (?)
libstdc++. I have tryed everything I can think of including installing a
new X server (X11R6.4). One potential problem is that I don't have root
access and it is impossible to convince our sysadmin to install anything
in the normal  file tree if it isn't copyrighted by Sun. I have saved
the configure and make outputs at

http://www.misu.su.se/~bror/config.log

and

http://www.misu.su.se/~bror/make.log

Many thanks in advance!!!

2000-07-06 Thread Yann Collete

Hello,

It seems to be a problem with gcc.
To turn this problem off, you must add the following
flag in Makefiles : -fpermissive
so as to allow 'declaration with no type'

No, that's a problem with the broken headers Sun has put in
/usr/openwin/include.

It seems that a better solution is to use the flag 
  -isystem /usr/openwin/include
which tells gcc that this directory is a system directory, and so that
weird things may happen.
