Re: Problem with figures side by side

Thanks Herbert.. will try this out soon..

On the other hand you can put the image into a box
and then set the minipage exactly to the width of
this box (image).
To make life harder, my first image's height  width so I've set the 
scaling using the height and asked for the aspect ratio to be 
maintained. The second image's width  height so it's the other way 
around. Hence, for the first figure, I'm not sure what the bounding

long table caption + table and figure side-by-side

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi.. I have a long caption for a table and the overflow from the 
first line of the caption is not centered on the second line.. any 
way to center the second line of the caption also?

Secondly, this table is alongside a figure using the table and 
figure side-by-side tip on Herbert's page where the table and figure 
are within minipages and the two minipages are within a table float 
environment. I'm unable to get the table and the figure to align at 
the top... the table's caption is at the top and the figure's 
caption is at the bottom so actually, I'm not sure what the best way 
is to align these (I'm guessing the answer is top alignment with the 
table caption's first line being aligned with the figure's top??).. 
please let me know if you have any experience with this...

  Thanks, Nirmal. I'm still missing some subtle points of cursor placement.
As an aside, is there a place in some documentation where the use of each
little blue box in math mode is explained? That I've not seen and it would
probably help me with learning new math mode entry tasks.


 ... after you've typed the content in the second blue box of the cases

  That works. But, let's back up a minute.

  When I enter the left side of the equation I then select cases from the
math menu. That gives me a left bracket and two little blue boxes. Would I,
in this situation, enter the 1, in the left side blue box and if and only

  Also, when entering the conditional, what is the proper format for spacing
between words? A keyboard space moves me out of the math box; so does a
right arrow key press. I've used the space button on the math panel (for a
medium space), but that's terribly tedious and does not seem like the proper
procedure.

tables of equations

[Jeremy Daily]

Group,
I have a question about typesetting tables of equations. I am trying to show
simultaneous derivations, examples, and the like in both the English and
Metric system. The derivations can be long because we are showing every
step. Because of the length and the pagination features, I wanted to use the
longtable package with English and Metric as the header rows. My problem is
I would like to use displayed math in the table because if its size and
consistency with the other parts of the document where there is no
distinction between English and Metric.  Is there a way to use displayed
math in a longtable?

The second thing I tried was using ERT and the xalignat environment. The
problem here is the pagination isn't like you can get using longtable. I
want to do this using the least amount of brute force (aka ERT) as possible.
Any suggestions?

In AMS multline you can only change the indent of the first line with 
the length \multlinegap, see Herberts document.

If you are able to read german, you can have look at

http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/LyXMathebefehle

where you find a LyX-Mathed documentation (Multiline-environments are 
described in Ch. 17, \cases in Ch. 3.5).

But better keep on using the \cases environment.

 I'm trying to enter the following equation:

/
\mu_A(x) =   1, if and only if x \in A
\ 0, if and only if x \notin A.
Here the exact command for this:

Ctrl-m \mu_A-(x)=\cases- Ctrl-Enter

- stands for the arrow button (press it directly after the last 's' for 
\cases)

Now fill out the boxes.
If you want more boxes, use the menu Edit-Math-AddColumn.
For text in formulas, use the math-panel and choose the last entry of 
its font menu (\textrm).

I hope this helps.

Here an example LyX-file:

Re: More multiline equation frustration

[Uwe Stöhr]

  Now, the remaining 0.6% to resolve is spacing in the compiled output. With
the cursor in front of the equation box I select Layout->Paragraph and
change the justification from "justified" to "centered". However, the
equation is still typeset across the entire line. The left-hand-side is
left justified, the equals sign is centered and the right-hand-side is
right justified on the line.
In AMS multline you can only change the indent of the first line with 
the length \multlinegap, see Herberts document.

If you are able to read german, you can have look at

http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/LyXMathebefehle

where you find a LyX-Mathed documentation (Multiline-environments are 
described in Ch. 17, \cases in Ch. 3.5).

But better keep on using the \cases environment.

Here the exact command for this:

Ctrl-m \mu_A->(x)=\cases-> Ctrl-Enter

-> stands for the arrow button (press it directly after the last 's' for 
\cases)

Now fill out the boxes.
If you want more boxes, use the menu Edit->Math->AddColumn.
For text in formulas, use the math-panel and choose the last entry of 
its font menu (\textrm).

I hope this helps.

Here an example LyX-file:

  Sorry, Uwe. 36 years ago, yes; now, no.

  Did this exactly, generated two error boxes. The error boxes are
screenshot-1.png and screenshot-2.png.

  So close ... so very close.

Uwe,

  Did the above.

> \mu_{a}(x)=\begin{cases}
> \\1 & \textrm{if and only if}\, x\in A\\

  Here's what my file produced:

\begin_inset Formula $\mu_{A}(x)=\begin{cases}
1, & \textrm{if and only if}\, x\in A\\
0, & \textrm{if and only if\, x}\notin A\end{cases}$
\end_inset

  Two error messages generated, referencing misplaced tabs. Could the commas
be responsible? I tried taking them out, but I'm still missing the double
back slashes before the '1'. Also, the 'x' on the second line ended up in
the wrong place.

Thanks,

Rich
