margins with float-figure
Hi!
I've got a problem with float-figures. Some of my Figures extent somewhat
over my page-margins. I use 3cm for the left and the right margin for the
document.
On Herbert's LyX-Page, I found the following to change margins temporarilly:
Latex-Pre:
\newenvironment{myQuote}[2]%
{\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin#1\rightmargin#2}\item{}}%
{\end{list}}
in your text than
\begin{myQuote}{-2cm}{-2cm}
the text ... bla bla bla ... the text
\end{myQuote}
This works fine -- for the normal text, the margins are put away for -2cm
e.g., but floats don't care about that.
I think, because they're positioned by Latex, they can't "see" the
margin-changes. I use !hbtp, but no change.
The only way to fix it, would be to set the whole document to margin 1cm and
to change the text using the above Latex-Code.
But maybe, someone knows a better solution?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chris

Dear list, I hope you can help me with the problem. I will be visiting the University of Chicago during November and December. I need access to a LyX capable machine during this time, in order to make minor adjustments to my PhD thesis. Can anyone advise me of the suitable machine that is available for visitors to use? Please email as I do not read this newsgroup regularly. Many thanks. Ying Qiao yin110 at rsphysse dot anu dot edu dot au

try package float and using the option [H] for absolutely
"Here". leave the layout->document->float placement
blank and write in the float as the very first line in
tex(red) [H]. for the other floats write whatever the best
choice may be.

Meta key mapping
Hello, I am having trouble using the Meta-* key bindings (e.g. M-c m) in Lyx 1.1.5 and hoping that somebody out there can suggest the proper way of mapping the critical keys. I am using a PC as a terminal, running Lyx on Solaris via an Reflection-X window manager. The trouble is that in my default key mapping (as displayed by xmodmap) there are no Meta-keys defined, and naturally the sequences like above do not work. However, even after redefining e.g. the Alt_L key as Meta_L (with xmodmap, using keycode 18 = Meta_L replacing Alt_L), there appears to be no difference in Lyx's behavior. As a check, I tried something obvious like redefining the Control keys as something completely different, but Lyx still could use them as proper C-*, even when the shell could not. In contrast, some other remappings (e.g. for regular character keys) get imported into Lyx just fine. Does Lyx bypass the xmodmap settings when it comes to the control, alt, meta, shift etc. "special" keys? Where or how could this be customized? If you have any thoughts, please mail me back to this email address as I am not a member of the list. Thanks, Andres
Re: Meta key mapping
I can't solve your problem... but I can point out that what works in your shell won't work for LyX, 'cause X uses a different map than the console does-- its a whole different ballgame in X. Maybe you need to throw some bindings or something into your lyxrc? Sorry for the lame answer-- no doubt the other guys on this list will have much more intelligent things to say.
lyx2pdf - pending, but not dead
Hello everyone, your mails are still in my Inbox. I have all read them, but was to busy to take any action so far. I have heard something about a different approach of the LyX developers on PDF export in 1.1.6 or 1.2. Does anyone know what the plans are? The URL I have given in the past has problems sometimes, use the following one instead: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tron/scripts/lyx2pdf What are the future plans with lyx2pdf: 1. make lyx2pdf work with included documents 2. Use options and an RC file for parameter section (like in my skript mkkrl: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tron/scripts/mkkrl ) 3. make it possible to call lyx2pdf from LyX directly 4. clean up the code; use more functions (bibtex handling, image handling, etc. as functions) 5. Clean up script output 6. When there is enough interest in lyx2pdf: Make lyx2pdf an offical part of LyX or an independent project on Sourceforge or something. So, we have mailing lists, etc. I am thankful with anyone who wants to help me somehow. Patches (even bad ones) are preffered. Information is welcome as well. I think, I will have the time to reply properly next weekend. Anyway, thanks a lot for your feedback! Bye, Steffen -- Steffen Evers mailto:trony.tripod.de Carpe diem!
Re: bottom middle of word
I assume you need this in the math editor.
I've used the following command to declare the math operator, it requires
the use of the amsmath package (or one of its associates)
\DeclareMathOperator*{\esssup}{ess\ sup}
This declares the ess sup operator, you can use:
\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmax}{argmax}
In order to declare the argmax operator, I don't remember if you need the
star or not, try both. Anyhow, it won't look too good in LyX, but on the
LaTeX output it should look fine when the formula is not inline.

Does anyone know what the plans are? LyX 1.1.6cvs (and hence 1.1.6) has an export facility that can be told to generate anything, including (but not limited to) Postscript/PDF/HTML/Ascii (these come preconfigured) actually the PDF output can be chosen whether it is through pdflatex or through ps2pdf. The new export mechanism is very powerfull and can be configured from the configuration files so there will be no need to write code in order to support a new format, assuming it can be generated from LaTeX, Ascii or Docbook. This new export mechanism is due to the work of Dekel Tsur. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://www.redrival.com/jindor/(My brothers AD&D site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!
