vertical alignment in table-cells
Hi, I have a little problem concerning the vertical alignment of text in table-cells (Lyx 1.3.0). Basically I defined a table with 2 columns, the first column containing simple text and the second column containing small diagrams using the psmatrix-command. The problem is that the text in the first column appears at the bottom of the cell. I tried to set the vertical alignment to top or center as explained in http://www.damek.kth.se/~chr/lyx/Herbert/table.html#valign but without any success. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve that problem! Thanks in advance - Jan -

Re: image conversion tools
Hello again, I am not sure what was going on, but I noticed in the about box that qt lyx was not using the shared library under its own installation.

As with any package, the first thing you need to do is make it available
to LaTeX. Put it somewhere inside your LaTeX distribution (on my
computer this is /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ but it could be different
on yours). Then run the command texhash (without the quotes) to update
LaTeX. Note: you may need to be logged in as root/admin to do this.
Using it in LyX depends on whether it's supported by LyX. If it is,
then all you have to do is click Edit-Reconfigure, then restart LyX and
you can use it just like any other document class. If it isn't, then you
will need to put LaTeX commands in your Preamble (in LyX 1.3.* you get
there from Layout-Document). If there's any documnetation with the
package, read it and see what it asks you to do. If not, try putting
\usepackage{parallel.sty}
in the preamble and see what happens.

Re: Printing using Aqua-Lyx
Hi: I am a newbie with Lyx and have played with it for little more than an hour but fail printing. I think that I installed all the bits and pieces indicated in the Lyx/Mac web page: gimp-print, esp ghostscript. I have also set the name of my printer which I found in /private/etc/printcap, and have configured textconfig (as indicated in the User's guide). You do not indicate whether or not you properly installed all of the LaTeX components necessary to use LyX. (I am guessing from the fact that the Print option is dimmed that you do not have the necessary components properly set up.) To check to see that you have LyX and all the necessary components of TeX/LaTeX properly installed, do this: 1. Edit--Reconfigure 2. Restart LyX 3. Open (or create) a short document. 4. Click on the View menu. At the top of the menu you should see DVI, PDF, PDF (dvipdfm), PDF (pdflatex),... If you do not see these options to preview the document, you most likely do not have LaTeX properly set up. Alternatively, you can open up the Console application right after you do step 1, and view the log to see whether LyX has found the necessary LaTeX components. If LaTeX is not properly installed, please see my website http://www.la.utexas.edu/~tnishino/osx_lyx/ for detailed instructions on installing the various necessary components to use LyX-Aqua. Yet the print option of the file menu is dimmed. Also, the Lyx/Mac web page indicates that one can also print by previewing pdf and printing from preview. I did not even found how one previews with pdf... Any help would be appreciated... jp Assuming you have everything properly set up, to view the document using Preview, this is what you need to do. Open the Preferences to File formats. In each of the PDF entries set the viewer to open -a Preview. Remember to click modify to get LyX to register the change, and save to make the Preference change permanent. (Similarly, if you want to use Acrobat, you can enter open -a Acrobat instead.) Then with the document you want to preview open, select View--PDF from the menus. This should compile the document, launch the Preview app, and display the fully formatted document. Hope this helps.

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hi Jorgen, I am using AFPL Ghostscript 8.11 D:\Program Files\ImageMagick-5.5.7-Q8\ That's strange. I moved back to ImageMagick Q8 (from Q16) and I was using Ghostscript 8.11 all the time.

As with any package, the first thing you need to do is make it available
to LaTeX. Put it somewhere inside your LaTeX distribution (on my
computer this is /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ but it could be different
on yours). Then run the command texhash (without the quotes) to update
LaTeX. Note: you may need to be logged in as root/admin to do this.
Using it in LyX depends on whether it's supported by LyX. If it is,
then all you have to do is click Edit-Reconfigure, then restart LyX and
you can use it just like any other document class. If it isn't, then you
will need to put LaTeX commands in your Preamble (in LyX 1.3.* you get
there from Layout-Document). If there's any documnetation with the
package, read it and see what it asks you to do. If not, try putting
\usepackage{parallel.sty}
in the preamble and see what happens.

Re: Printing using Aqua-Lyx
Hi: I am a newbie with Lyx and have played with it for little more than an hour but fail printing. I think that I installed all the bits and pieces indicated in the Lyx/Mac web page: gimp-print, esp ghostscript. I have also set the name of my printer which I found in /private/etc/printcap, and have configured textconfig (as indicated in the User's guide). You do not indicate whether or not you properly installed all of the LaTeX components necessary to use LyX. (I am guessing from the fact that the Print option is dimmed that you do not have the necessary components properly set up.) To check to see that you have LyX and all the necessary components of TeX/LaTeX properly installed, do this: 1. Edit--Reconfigure 2. Restart LyX 3. Open (or create) a short document. 4. Click on the View menu. At the top of the menu you should see DVI, PDF, PDF (dvipdfm), PDF (pdflatex),... If you do not see these options to preview the document, you most likely do not have LaTeX properly set up. Alternatively, you can open up the Console application right after you do step 1, and view the log to see whether LyX has found the necessary LaTeX components. If LaTeX is not properly installed, please see my website http://www.la.utexas.edu/~tnishino/osx_lyx/ for detailed instructions on installing the various necessary components to use LyX-Aqua. Yet the print option of the file menu is dimmed. Also, the Lyx/Mac web page indicates that one can also print by previewing pdf and printing from preview. I did not even found how one previews with pdf... Any help would be appreciated... jp Assuming you have everything properly set up, to view the document using Preview, this is what you need to do. Open the Preferences to File formats. In each of the PDF entries set the viewer to open -a Preview. Remember to click modify to get LyX to register the change, and save to make the Preference change permanent. (Similarly, if you want to use Acrobat, you can enter open -a Acrobat instead.) Then with the document you want to preview open, select View--PDF from the menus. This should compile the document, launch the Preview app, and display the fully formatted document. Hope this helps.

vertical alignment in table-cells

Add empty text (ERT: {}) in front of the graphics-cell. Make the vertical

Seems to be ok now. Each call to '\ncline{..}{..}' was on its own line. This has
messed up the dvi and ps- output.

Re: Image conversion and Lyx qt 1.3.2 win
Hi Jorgen, > I am using > AFPL Ghostscript 8.11 > D:\Program Files\ImageMagick-5.5.7-Q8\ That's strange. I moved back to ImageMagick Q8 (from Q16) and I was using Ghostscript 8.11 all the time. But still I cannot convert a sample file. convert test.eps test.bmp or convert test.eps test.ppm from the command line doesn't work (but the correct convert.exe is called, so the path is ok somehow). Still, ghostscript is complaining about /undefinedfilename. I put my sample file here (if you are interested) www.personal.uni-jena.de/~p9libe/test.eps If it's a path issue, what does your path variable (both system and user) look like? -- Ben Liesfeld

hyperref and toc
Greetings. Is there a tutorial that teaches the newbie user how to use hyperref to create hypertext links in a table of contents in Lyx? I have looked, but I haven't found anything. Thanks. Mike

A very comfortable solution is the tex2pdf script, which uses hyperref, thumbpdf etc. The homepage describes how to use the script with LyX. http://tex2pdf.berlios.de/ Juergen.

sure, but I wanted to know, why it doesn't work from
inside LyX.

As with any package, the first thing you need to do is make it available
to LaTeX. Put it somewhere inside your LaTeX distribution (on my
computer this is /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ but it could be different
on yours). Then run the command "texhash" (without the quotes) to update
LaTeX. Note: you may need to be logged in as root/admin to do this.
Using it in LyX depends on whether it's supported by LyX. If it is,
then all you have to do is click Edit->Reconfigure, then restart LyX and
you can use it just like any other document class. If it isn't, then you
will need to put LaTeX commands in your Preamble (in LyX 1.3.* you get
there from Layout->Document). If there's any documnetation with the
package, read it and see what it asks you to do. If not, try putting
\usepackage{parallel.sty}
in the preamble and see what happens.

I was referring to the use of ImageMagick and Ghostscript on the windows platform (you are apparently using *nix). There are no problems with LyxQt on *nix converting images. Somehow ImageMagick and GS don't work together on my platform (WinXP) but it seems that other users (like Jorgen Johansson) have a working configuration. I made sure that I have the same ImageMagick and GS versions installed but still I get error messages like the one below: --snip-- C:\>convert test.eps test.ppm AFPL Ghostscript 8.11 (2003-08-16) Copyright (C) 2003 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA.

With gsview for instance? Viewing the .eps works fine. E. g. I can insert a converter line in preferences like \converter "eps" "ppm" "gswin32c.exe -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ppmraw -r72 -sOutputFile=$$o -c save pop -f $$i" "" which results in a preview of the eps in lyx but in disrespect of the bounding box of the eps. So around a tiny eps there's always the huge DINA4 whitespace. GS works therefore and I can also convert jpg or bmp to other formats with ImageMagick, it's just that both don't work together properly. -- Ben Liesfeld
Re: Printing using Aqua-Lyx
Hi: I am a newbie with Lyx and have played with it for little more than an hour but fail printing. I think that I installed all the bits and pieces indicated in the Lyx/Mac web page: gimp-print, esp ghostscript. I have also set the name of my printer which I found in /private/etc/printcap, and have configured textconfig (as indicated in the User's guide). You do not indicate whether or not you properly installed all of the LaTeX components necessary to use LyX. (I am guessing from the fact that the "Print" option is dimmed that you do not have the necessary components properly set up.) To check to see that you have LyX and all the necessary components of TeX/LaTeX properly installed, do this: 1. "Edit-->Reconfigure" 2. Restart LyX 3. Open (or create) a short document. 4. Click on the View menu. At the top of the menu you should see DVI, PDF, PDF (dvipdfm), PDF (pdflatex),... If you do not see these options to preview the document, you most likely do not have LaTeX properly set up. Alternatively, you can open up the "Console" application right after you do step 1, and view the log to see whether LyX has found the necessary LaTeX components. If LaTeX is not properly installed, please see my website http://www.la.utexas.edu/~tnishino/osx_lyx/ for detailed instructions on installing the various necessary components to use LyX-Aqua. Yet the print option of the file" menu is dimmed. Also, the Lyx/Mac web page indicates that one can also print by previewing pdf and printing from preview. I did not even found how one previews with pdf... Any help would be appreciated... jp Assuming you have everything properly set up, to view the document using Preview, this is what you need to do. Open the Preferences to "File formats". In each of the PDF entries set the viewer to "open -a Preview". Remember to click modify to get LyX to register the change, and save to make the Preference change permanent. (Similarly, if you want to use Acrobat, you can enter "open -a Acrobat" instead.) Then with the document you want to preview open, select View-->PDF from the menus. This should compile the document, launch the Preview app, and display the fully formatted document. Hope this helps.
