problem with pdf and pdflatex
Hi all, (LyX 1.2.0, Mandrake 8.2) I have a problem with pdflatex and some pdf created from epstopdf. I'm writing my PhD thesis and I choose to use pdflatex in order to have a readable pdf in acrobat (so the thesis can be put on the web). Unfortunately, I have hit a wall with the insertion of some eps created by matlab. If I insert the eps, I cannot use pdflatex (of course), but if I insert the pdf instead, the resulting image is 2 black and white and distorted. If I use the eps and generate the pdf the old way, everything is okay, but I loose the 2 advantages of pdflatex (acrobat readable on screen and smaller file size). I've set a web page where you can get two such eps and pdf. the eps is 95KiB while the pdf is only around 8KiB. http://olivier.ripoll.free.fr/lyx/pdf_latex.html The only way I have found is to use png or jpg images, but this exploses the size of the pdf. I also think some conversion done by lyx uses png and also result in a size bloat of the pdf. I've tried to generate eps level 1 and two from matlab. I also did eps from Igrafx Designer. I did cycle eps-pdf-ps-eps-pdf and many others way around but cannot get something working. Has someone got an idea? Thanks in advance. Olivier. (to reproduce the problem, take the eps, generate a pdf with epstopdf or take the pdf, and then do a lyx file with one of them. render with pdflatex and old pdf way)
importing tex resolved
Thanks Rem and Andre, it was my fault all along: I created the directory in which the tex files were stored while logged on as root, so I didn't have write permission. I did say I was new to Linux. Sorry to waste your time. I will continue writing my thesis with lyx. thanks Struan

Including Documents - Multiple stage include
Hello all,
I'm planning to use lyx 1.2.0 for a complicated report. Thus I wanted to
separate it into different chapters which will be included from a main
document (document class koma-script book).
The chapters itself will consist of texts and tables. The tables are
likeliy to change often during the drafting process. So I wanted to
include the tables also as external files (automatically generated
from csv-files) into the chapter documents.
So I inserted into the main document:
...
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Include \input{FrageA1.lyx}
\end_inset
...
and into FrageA1.lyx
...
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Include \input{a1.1.lyx}
\end_inset
Following a discussion on lyx-users I sylinked all files into a build
directory.
Unfortunately I can't get this setup working within lyx.
After starting the postscript preview I got a Latex Errors:
cannot find a.1.tex cannot read from terminal in nonstop mode.
whereas the manual route
- exporting main.lyx as latex
- latex main.tex
works o.k.
My error or LyX Bug / feature?
Second Question:
Is it possible to give tables a title without a float environment. The
Table should be listed in the List of Tables. As far
as I understood longtables (i.e. more than one page) do not fit into a
float environment.
TNX in advance

Since lyx-1.1.6-fix (AFAIR) I've been having some problems
with seminar.layout. I defined frames on my slides, but
now one slide appears with frame and empty, the second
one appears with text (without frame), etc.
If I export the file to TeX it looks like:

It's wrong. I used to use the same lyx files before without

Re: Viewing images in lyx1.2: Loading images blocks UI
On Thu, 11 Jul 2002, John Levon wrote: background, too, so I was very disappointed to see that, on the contrary, image loading is done in foreground now. This is the reason I still prefer 1.1.6. Image loading is not done in the foreground... Ok, I guess I'm not in a position to argue about this with you, but what I observe strongly ressembles a foreground process. Let me be more specific: When the place an image is to be displayed in appears on the screen for the first time, image conversion and display is triggered. The empty box representing the image initially contains a message like converting to loadable format. Image conversion is done in the background, that is, the user interface is not affected by the running process. Moving the cursor, scrolling the canvas and opening menus works as usual. Once the image conversion is done, the image is loaded. During this (rather rapid) process, the information given in the box changes to Loading image..., and then Loaded. Scaling etc These processes seem to be done in the foreground in the sense that the user interface is completely blocked. Displacing the cursor, scrolling the canvas, opening menus, useage of dialog boxes etc is delayed until the image is loaded. The events that piled up are executed once the image appeared on the canvas. On my box (AMD K6II-266), loading takes up to a second, depending on the images. Even worse, when scrolling rapidly across a document with many images, lots of conversions are triggered. When images start to be available for loading, loading takes longer because load is high, and the sum of all the events makes for an appreciable blackout of UI availability. I hope this clarifies what I said. I might also add that in lyx 1.1 I never observed ANY lag in UI response correlated with image loading. Jan

Formatting a document
Hi,
I have some problems using the Preambule in Lyx 1.1.6fix3b.
It seems that commands I've added in the preambule are not taken into
account during compilation of the document. I'd like to use the fancy
package and customize the header and footer of a document which should
be a two sided paper. So I defined some newcommand (for the chapters for
example \newcommand{\mychapstyle}{...) but these definitions are not
considered.
If someone as any suggestion...
Thank's!

Hi all, (LyX 1.2.0, Mandrake 8.2) I have a problem with pdflatex and some pdf created from epstopdf. I'm writing my PhD thesis and I choose to use pdflatex in order to have a readable pdf in acrobat (so the thesis can be put on the web). Unfortunately, I have hit a wall with the insertion of some eps created by matlab.

importing tex resolved
Thanks Rem and Andre, it was my fault all along: I created the directory in which the tex files were stored while logged on as root, so I didn't have write permission. I did say I was new to Linux. Sorry to waste your time. I will continue writing my thesis with lyx. thanks Struan

Including Documents - Multiple stage include
Hello all,
I'm planning to use lyx 1.2.0 for a complicated report. Thus I wanted to
separate it into different chapters which will be included from a main
document (document class koma-script book).
The chapters itself will consist of texts and tables. The tables are
likeliy to change often during the drafting process. So I wanted to
include the tables also as external files (automatically generated
from csv-files) into the chapter documents.
So I inserted into the main document:
...
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Include \input{FrageA1.lyx}
\end_inset
...
and into FrageA1.lyx
...
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Include \input{a1.1.lyx}
\end_inset
Following a discussion on lyx-users I sylinked all files into a build
directory.
Unfortunately I can't get this setup working within lyx.
After starting the postscript preview I got a Latex Errors:
cannot find a.1.tex cannot read from terminal in nonstop mode.
whereas the manual route
- exporting main.lyx as latex
- latex main.tex
works o.k.
My error or LyX Bug / feature?
Second Question:
Is it possible to give tables a title without a float environment. The
Table should be listed in the List of Tables. As far
as I understood longtables (i.e. more than one page) do not fit into a
float environment.
TNX in advance

Since lyx-1.1.6-fix (AFAIR) I've been having some problems
with seminar.layout. I defined frames on my slides, but
now one slide appears with frame and empty, the second
one appears with text (without frame), etc.
If I export the file to TeX it looks like:

It's wrong. I used to use the same lyx files before without

Re: Viewing images in lyx1.2: Loading images blocks UI
On Thu, 11 Jul 2002, John Levon wrote: background, too, so I was very disappointed to see that, on the contrary, image loading is done in foreground now. This is the reason I still prefer 1.1.6. Image loading is not done in the foreground... Ok, I guess I'm not in a position to argue about this with you, but what I observe strongly ressembles a foreground process. Let me be more specific: When the place an image is to be displayed in appears on the screen for the first time, image conversion and display is triggered. The empty box representing the image initially contains a message like converting to loadable format. Image conversion is done in the background, that is, the user interface is not affected by the running process. Moving the cursor, scrolling the canvas and opening menus works as usual. Once the image conversion is done, the image is loaded. During this (rather rapid) process, the information given in the box changes to Loading image..., and then Loaded. Scaling etc These processes seem to be done in the foreground in the sense that the user interface is completely blocked. Displacing the cursor, scrolling the canvas, opening menus, useage of dialog boxes etc is delayed until the image is loaded. The events that piled up are executed once the image appeared on the canvas. On my box (AMD K6II-266), loading takes up to a second, depending on the images. Even worse, when scrolling rapidly across a document with many images, lots of conversions are triggered. When images start to be available for loading, loading takes longer because load is high, and the sum of all the events makes for an appreciable blackout of UI availability. I hope this clarifies what I said. I might also add that in lyx 1.1 I never observed ANY lag in UI response correlated with image loading. Jan

Formatting a document
Hi,
I have some problems using the Preambule in Lyx 1.1.6fix3b.
It seems that commands I've added in the preambule are not taken into
account during compilation of the document. I'd like to use the fancy
package and customize the header and footer of a document which should
be a two sided paper. So I defined some newcommand (for the chapters for
example \newcommand{\mychapstyle}{...) but these definitions are not
considered.
If someone as any suggestion...
Thank's!

(to reproduce the problem, take the eps, generate a pdf with epstopdf or take the pdf, and then do a lyx file with one of them. render with pdflatex and old pdf way)
importing tex resolved
Thanks Rem and Andre, it was my fault all along: I created the directory in which the tex files were stored while logged on as root, so I didn't have write permission. I did say I was new to Linux. Sorry to waste your time. I will continue writing my thesis with lyx. thanks Struan

Including Documents - Multiple stage include
Hello all,
I'm planning to use lyx 1.2.0 for a complicated report. Thus I wanted to
separate it into different chapters which will be included from a main
document (document class koma-script book).
The chapters itself will consist of texts and tables. The tables are
likeliy to change often during the drafting process. So I wanted to
include the tables also as external files (automatically generated
from csv-files) into the chapter documents.
So I inserted into the main document:
...
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Include \input{FrageA1.lyx}
\end_inset
...
and into FrageA1.lyx
...
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Include \input{a1.1.lyx}
\end_inset
Following a discussion on lyx-users I sylinked all files into a build
directory.
Unfortunately I can't get this setup working within lyx.
After starting the postscript preview I got a Latex Errors:
cannot find a.1.tex cannot read from terminal in nonstop mode.
whereas the "manual route"
- exporting main.lyx as latex
- latex main.tex
works o.k.
My error or LyX Bug / feature?
Second Question:
Is it possible to give tables a title without a float environment. The
Table should be listed in the List of Tables. As far
as I understood longtables (i.e. more than one page) do not fit into a
float environment.
TNX in advance

I've just asked Mandrake maintainer about the version number (I don't have access to my machine at present) and he told me 0.13d (tetex 1.0.7) He packaged new rpms with 1.00b-pretest but they are unsupported. I'll test them as soon as I have access to the machine and report the results here. Anyway, from pdftex mailing list archives, version 0.14 should be okay.

seminar.layout doesn't work as expected
Since lyx-1.1.6-fix (AFAIR) I've been having some problems
with seminar.layout. I defined frames on my slides, but
now one slide appears with frame and empty, the second
one appears with text (without frame), etc.
If I export the file to TeX it looks like:
--
\begin{slide*}
\end{slide*}
\slideheading{Otro texto}
\slidesubheading{Subtexto}

It's wrong. I used to use the same lyx files before without
problem.
I attach a sample. If you to see how is expected, you can
see any file from http://cronos.dci.ubiobio.cl/docs/sd/pdf/
(except sockets.pdf).

Ok, I guess I'm not in a position to argue about this with you, but what I observe strongly ressembles a foreground process. Let me be more specific: When the place an image is to be displayed in appears on the screen for the first time, image conversion and display is triggered. The empty box representing the image initially contains a message like "converting to loadable format". Image conversion is done in the background, that is, the user interface is not affected by the running process. Moving the cursor, scrolling the canvas and opening menus works as usual. Once the image conversion is done, the image is loaded. During this (rather rapid) process, the information given in the box changes to "Loading image...", and then "Loaded. Scaling etc...". These processes seem to be done in the foreground in the sense that the user interface is completely blocked. Displacing the cursor, scrolling the canvas, opening menus, useage of dialog boxes etc is delayed until the image is loaded. The events that piled up are executed once the image appeared on the canvas. On my box (AMD K6II-266), loading takes up to a second, depending on the images. Even worse, when scrolling rapidly across a document with many images, lots of conversions are triggered. When images start to be available for loading, loading takes longer because load is high, and the sum of all the events makes for an appreciable blackout of UI availability. I hope this clarifies what I said. I might also add that in lyx 1.1 I never observed ANY lag in UI response correlated with image loading. Jan
A question about 'Description'

Do you have a xpm->eps converter defined? I don't remember why I defined
that, but that is not the point. My point was that I would expect the
shortest route to be chosen.
Here is the output of lyx -dbg graphics for the case I mentioned:
Attempting to convert image file: ~/lyxdocs/these/images/chap1_neurone.png
with recognised extension: png.
Scanstring: PNG
Recognised Fileformat: png
Scanstring: PNG
Recognised Fileformat: png
The file contains png format data.
The image loader can load the following directly:
Windows/OS2 BMP file, extension "bmp"
NASA/NOST FITS, extension "fits"
CompuServ GIF, extension "gif"
JPEG/JFIF format, extension "jpg"
Portable Pixmap, extension "ppm"
Portable Graymap, extension "pgm"
Portable Bitmap, extension "pbm"
PostScript, extension "ps"
SGI Iris, extension "sgi"
Tag Image File Format, extension "tif"
X11 Bitmap, extension "xbm"
X Window Dump, extension "xwd"
XPM format, extension "xpm"
Of these, LyX recognises the following formats:
gif, jpg, ps, xpm
Converting it to ps format.

Formatting a document
Hi,
I have some problems using the Preambule in Lyx 1.1.6fix3b.
It seems that commands I've added in the preambule are not taken into
account during compilation of the document. I'd like to use the fancy
package and customize the header and footer of a document which should
be a two sided paper. So I defined some newcommand (for the chapters for
example \newcommand{\mychapstyle}{...) but these definitions are not
considered.
If someone as any suggestion...
Thank's!
