 Great! However, I still have the space at the end of a chapter before a

 the last one ends?

chapters start by default on a new page.
However, write in preamble

enable the amsmath button and then use \boxed{...}

 I usually kludge it by using a matrix.  The only problem with that is that
 labels on the arrows need to be finagled to keep the arrow aligned (for a
 horizontal arrow, put a 3x1 submatrix in with the arrow in the center, the
 label on top, and a blank below).  This will be somewhat short of full

use psmatrix of the PSTricks package - http://PSTricks.tug.org

This will, but it's in upper case, no?

 What should I set so that lyx can find them?

That depends entirely on your LaTeX distribution. TeTeX has a
texhash tool that you use to generate a ls-R file containing an
index of all files in the distribution. MikTeX has an update files
button or somesuch on its package manager.

The general idea is that you don't mess with the official tree at
all, but create a local tree for your own stuff. Thus, I put the
cv.cls file at something like (don't have the Windows box in front
of me ATM):

C:\Program Files\MikTeX\
main\
...
local\
tex\
latex\
cv\
cv.cls

and then told MikTeX's package manager about the local tree.

Yes, I will do it again. I've deleted my original c:\Lyx install.
I uninstalled Lyx137 from Control Panel because it won't
start because of the missing textclass.lst error. 
I have deleted c:\program files\lyx and c:\documentss and settings\...

\...\Application data\stephen\lyx so there is no lyx installation/files.

Starting fresh then, I go to Control Panel, Add and Remove
programs (which I will do as I type this email and report it 
step by step). I stored lyx137_2 in lyxfiles and I start the

installation there. First thing is to approve English.

Lyx install finds my 6 helper applications, msys, perl, python,
ImageMagic, Texmf and ghostscript(gs) and says 'I will add
them to the path_prefix string of lyxrc.defaults' then 'I agree'

The next screen is choosing the install location. The default
location is c:\program files\lyx (using lyx_setup_137_version2.exe)
I don't want it there because I've experienced path with 
space problems with some other apps that interact with LyX.


I tested the install with the default directory c:\program files\lyx
and it certainly seem to install properly, no error messages.

Instead I create C:\LyX and change the destination directory
to C:\Lyx Then choose English again; I choose the default
components to install: all users, desktop icon, file associations;
And there is an Ok for a Lyx shortcut for startup (incidental).

I click install. The output graphic to c:\lyx completes about
98%. Then says failed attempting to execute the configure script
I click OK. The next screen appears: Completing the LyX Setup
Wizard with a checkmark next to 'launch lyx' I click Finish

Lyx then does it routine which normally results in the
Lyx Welcome Screen being opened. But it doesn't, it says:

Lyx wasn't able to find its layout descriptions! Check that the
file textclass.lst is installed correctly. Sorry has to exit (:- 
The LyX icon does appear, and Lyx can be removed in Control Panel.

Several installs ago I had to manually delete the Lyx directory
which was under c:\documents and settings ... \stephen\lyx
But that was already removed this time. Prior, Lyx136 installed 
to c:\lyx without error. To reproduce the error change the default

destination directory from c:\program files\lyx to c:\LyX

And as I said, if I do choose c:\program files\lyx , the install
proceeds without error. So the helper apps are in order and
they also worked before with Lyx136. However, I didn't notice
whether C:\Aspell was recognized with Lyx137 which worked Lyx136.

Stephen

Custom layout and psmatrix from pstricks, 1.4.0pre2

[maarten]

Hi,

I have some trouble when trying to getting this ERT to work correctly:

\begin{psmatrix}[colsep=0.5cm]
\psframebox{Yes}  \psframebox{No}  C \\ 
\psframebox{Yesy}  \psframebox{No}  C \\
\ncline{-}{1,1}{2,1}
\end{psmatrix}

I've put \usepackage{pst-node} in the document preamble.

This works (ps2pdf) as long as I use the standard book layout. When I
use pdflatex this does not work (as I understand obviously).

On the other hand, if I generate pdf from my books (without any
pstricks) with ps2pdf I get a complaint LaTex Error: Cannot determine
size of graphic logo.png. But this works fine with pdflatex.

Does anyone have a workaround? I run 1.4.0pre2.

This is an addendum to my first detailed reply.
I reinstalled stable  lyx-1.3.6_win32_setup_v1.exe
to C:\Lyx and it installed and works as expected.

I notice that I saw more of the underlying
process of installation appearing in a command
window during the lyx136 install than I saw
with lyx137 install. But perhaps seeing that
doslike process was deliberately suppressed.

This is my current path_prefix statement from lyxrc.defaults
\path_prefix 
C:\msys\1.0\bin;C:\Python24;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\gs\gs8.13\bin;C:\ImageMagick

which is also included and part of  my Windows path.

I assume that this means you want every figure to be at the top of the page.  
Within Lyx, if you make sure that the figures are set inside a figure float 
(perhaps ask a question if this does not make sense).  Collapse the float and 
then right click on the float symbol. You will get a set of check-box items, 
and if you de-select use default placement you can then select top of page.

Windows Lyx-1.3.6: Font problems in headings

Hello,

I've tried to google for that but no success, maybe someone could help me
here :-).

I have some font problems with either dvi, ps, or pdf generated by lyx. With
Yap (dvi) there is an error message (see below) and the font for chapters
and sections (first level) are replaced by a default font.
With GSView, the headings just disappears in (but not in the table of
contents).
With Pdf, Acrobat just replace the font with helvetica and Foxit will not
show the heading.

I have multiple document class but the results are with same.

Thanks in advance for any hint,

[杨朝晖]

Hi all,

I'm a new LyX user. I tried this editor for several days and liked it.
But I also come up with many inconvinieces when using it. I wish lyx can
be improved (in my perspective) in the following ways:

1. Things on the left part of the math panel (functions etc.) can also
be organized in the same way as those on the right. Doing this will
allow the math panel to be more flexibly resized (e.g. to be thing and
tall, or wide and flat).

2. If the previous feature is acheived, I'd like the math panel be
dockable onto the main window (in a way similar to that many other apps
dock their tool panels).

3. The focus had better transfer back to the main edit window after
clicking a symbol on the math panel, so that the user can imediately
continue editing. (I'm using lyx qt front-end on both windows and linux,
this does not happen to me).

4. TeXmacs defined a well orgnized set of short cuts for math editing
(http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-math.en.html). I think it
will be nice if lyx adopt this or similar short cuts. Short cuts for
symbols can be shown as tool tips on the math panel, to facilitate learning.

5. Is it possible to build a tool that assist writing lyx layout files
by giving one (or more) example tex suorce(s)? This tool will have to
PARTIALLY UNDERSTAND latex commands so as to identify enviroments and
their attributes.

Thanks for taking the time reading.

In the mean time I found out logo.png in the header works for pdflatex

If you use ps2pdf you NEED logo.eps. In the rest of the document you can

After some trail and error I found out:
The solution is to remove \usepackage{cmap} (why?) and - off course -
put ps2pdf instead of pdftex in the hyperref options in the preamble.

lyx-gtk compilation error

[Luca Nicotra]

Trying to compile lyx with gtk frontend (./configure
--with-frontend=gtk xforms --disable debug) I get the following
errors:

../xforms/FormPreferences.h:18:23: error: lyx_forms.h: No such file or directory
../xforms/FormPreferences.h:98 error: 'FL_FREE_COL15' was not declared

Forcing LyX to retypeset included files?

[Stefano Franchi]

I have a LyX file for a book that essentially contains a list of 
include statements for the single chapters.  Additionally, it has a 
long preamble with all the formatting instructions.


Since I am now fiddling with formatting details, I would like LyX/LaTeX 
to typeset everything from scratch  whenever I chose the ViewPDF 
option. Is it possible to do that?  Most of the times LyX seems to 
relies on the previously generated files.


Thanks for the help,

Stefano

 Answer:
 You can put the formula inside an mbox to prevent LaTeX from
 splitting up the formula. The steps can be summarized as follows:

 1) Go to math mode (inline formula or display formula)
 2) Type \mbox and then a press carriage return or the spacebar

Best guess(es): either the upgrade munged xdvi, or the path to xdvi that 
LyX is using is wrong.  To rule out the first, try exporting the doc as 
a DVI and then running xdvi against it manually.


This is what you get for upgrading.  Whatever happened to if it ain't 
broke, don't fix it?  :-)

Paul,

  Sigh. Why didn't I think of this? (That's a rhetorical question, by the
way.) For some reason, the t1lib was not upgraded. No library, no display.

  Well, one of the major benefits of Slackware -- for me -- is that it's far
back from the bleeding edge. I upgrade only when Patrick releases a new suite
of packages; otherwise, only security patches are applied. Unlike others, I
don't run daily or weekly upgrades for apt-get, up2date, or yum.

  There's another way of looking at that old wives' tale: if it ain't broke,
break it. :-) That's how we progress.

Many thanks,

Rich

  No, that's not it. It turns out that apparently xdvi is behind the t1
libraries. The application is looking for libt1.so.1, and the current version
of the library is libt1.so.5.1.0. The upgrade made the proper soft link so
that libt1.so.5 points to the executable's node, but xdvi can't use that. I
made an additional soft link and now xdvi is happy. So am I.

Re: Lyx Figure Placement

 Hi
 
 I am using Lyx (1.3.5 on XP) to write my thesis and have the following
 questions.
 
 1. How do I force every figure to start on a separate page?
 
A little unclear what you mean.
_only_ the figure on that page, or the figure first on that page
and perhaps some text too if the figure didn't need the whole page?

This is taken from lyx-1.4, but lyx-1.3 have much of the same options:
Insert a figure float, put the figure in that. Right-click the float
in order to bring up placement options.

Use top of page if you want the float to appear first on a page, while
also allowing text.  

Use page of floats to put the float on a page of its own, without
any text interfering. If your figures are small, then several might
go on the same page. If you don't like that, then the easy way is
to make the float bigger so nothing more fits. 

Another and better option, use ERT: \setcounter{totalnumber}{1}
for maximum one float per page.

 2. How I force every figure to be on the right page?
 
I know of no lyx specific way, but surely latex can do this.
Look up exiting latex tips, and put the latex command(s) you
need in ERT or the preamble.  Ask on a latex maling
list if you can't find this from here.
www.lyx.org have some links to latex tip pages, I believe.

Hi, could you check whether or not your problem is related to bug 1992?

Yes, it seems to be related, but I am not sure exactly how. My 
situation is a bit more complex than what you and Paul described in the 
bug report, as I have about 10 files included in the master file. I 
have not been able to track down what triggers the update and what 
doesn't. I suppose I will have to use the add a space/delete a space 
trick on all of them to force LyX to update.  I have added a few lines 
describing my situation to the bug report.


BTW, I could not find a panel in LyX preference related to the /temp 
directory. Do you know where it is?


Cheers,

[announce] beta release of new LyXWin installer

[Uwe Stöhr]

Hello LyXers,

I followed the discussion on this and the lyx-devel list about the 
installer for LyXWin. As consequence especially from this article:

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/61789 (in german)
I decided to write a new one that includes all neccessary files and 
programs.


The installer installs a full functional LaTeX-environment on Windows. 
This are in detail


- math fonts needed by LyX
- needed python, perl, and UNIX shell files
- basic installation of MiKTeX
- ImageMagick
- Ghostscript
- Aspell
- GSview (optional)
- LyX 1.3.6 (with complete documentation)

The installer analyses your system and installs only the missing programs.

The big advantage is the guidance through the installation process. All 
program versions are tested to work together and are installed in the 
correct order and the correct folders. This assures to get a working LyX 
installation. (For example actual versions of ImageMagick have problems 
with EPS-files. That's why the installer includes an older version 
without this problem.)


The first beta release 0.1 of the installer can be downloaded from:

http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117

There are two versions available:

- Complete; contains all programs listed above
- Small; doesn't contain MiKTeX and GSview (to reduce the download time)

PLEASE READ THE README FILES CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLER!

Note that this is the first release that might have bugs, so please save 
your LyX-files before trying out the installer.


It is very difficult to take care of all eventualities of different 
Windows installations, so I need your feedback. Please report bugs to 
this bugtracker:

http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=5117
or directly to me.

At this point I want to thank Angus Leeming for his help - and without 
him no LyX for Windows!


I'm curious about your opinions and comments.

regards Uwe

p.s.
The installer is only partly internationalized, if you want to improve 
this, grab the source scripts

http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXPackage-0-1.rar
and follow the instructions in
http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/ReadmeScripts.txt
Someone could also improve my bad english ;-)

p.p.s.
Can someone send me a LyX-file in the LyX1.2.x format for testing some 
conversion scripts? Thanks in advance.

do we have something like #ifdef from C in LyX? (multipart documents with common macros)

[David Soukal]

Hello guys,

I'm sorry to bother you with something that's must have been answered 
many times, but I can't find a quick answer in the documentation.


I've just discovered the beauty of multipart documents. But I almost 
instantly ran into problems. What happens is the following. I have a big 
document (thesis :)) with a lot of math-macro commands defined at the 
very beginning. After my recent casual browsing through the 
documentation I rediscovered that I can have my long document split into 
parts.


Happily, I divideded my thesis into files: each chapter now has its own 
file. The problem is how to share the macros defined originally once at 
the top of the long document. I created one more file containing only 
the macros and then I inputted it into each of the files with the 
individual chapters.


The chapters compile fine, however, the master won't compile because of 
multiple definition of the same macros.


So, I'm looking for conditional compilation... something from C header 
files..


Or is there something more elegant that I'm not seeing?

THANK YOU!

David

I uaually use \symbol or shortcuts but a dockable math panel would be
nice. Note that 1.4.0 has better toolbars.

 4. TeXmacs defined a well orgnized set of short cuts for math editing
 (http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-math.en.html). I think it
 will be nice if lyx adopt this or similar short cuts. Short cuts for
 symbols can be shown as tool tips on the math panel, to facilitate learning.

One of the biggest advantages of lyx is that you can define shortcuts
easily. If you want a math-oriented shortcut set, you can use my
shortcuts available at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts . A

 _inside_ the math mode put all in braces { ... }

Inside math mode, just write

This solution does not need ERT as well.

 I needed it also, and it works fine, thanks, but to see
 the box frame I used \fbox.

enable the amsmath button and then use \boxed{...}
inside the math mode, it is the better way

 I usually kludge it by using a matrix.  The only problem with that is that
 labels on the arrows need to be finagled to keep the arrow aligned (for a
 horizontal arrow, put a 3x1 submatrix in with the arrow in the center, the
 label on top, and a blank below).  This will be somewhat short of full
 glory; for that you would, I presume, have to do it all in ERT.

use psmatrix of the PSTricks package - http://PSTricks.tug.org

 I've got a couple of cv.* things installed:

This won't be found by LaTeX.

 c:/ProgsNoSpace/texmf/tex/latex/cv/CV.sty

This will, but it's in upper case, no?

 What should I set so that lyx can find them?

That depends entirely on your LaTeX distribution. TeTeX has a
texhash tool that you use to generate a ls-R file containing an
index of all files in the distribution. MikTeX has an update files
button or somesuch on its package manager.

The general idea is that you don't mess with the official tree at
all, but create a local tree for your own stuff. Thus, I put the
cv.cls file at something like (don't have the Windows box in front
of me ATM):

C:\Program Files\MikTeX\
main\
...
local\
tex\
latex\
cv\
cv.cls

and then told MikTeX's package manager about the local tree.

Yes, I will do it again. I've deleted my original c:\Lyx install.
I uninstalled Lyx137 from Control Panel because it won't
start because of the missing textclass.lst error. 
I have deleted c:\program files\lyx and c:\documentss and settings\...

\...\Application data\stephen\lyx so there is no lyx installation/files.

Starting fresh then, I go to Control Panel, Add and Remove
programs (which I will do as I type this email and report it 
step by step). I stored lyx137_2 in lyxfiles and I start the

installation there. First thing is to approve English.

Lyx install finds my 6 helper applications, msys, perl, python,
ImageMagic, Texmf and ghostscript(gs) and says 'I will add
them to the path_prefix string of lyxrc.defaults' then 'I agree'

The next screen is choosing the install location. The default
location is c:\program files\lyx (using lyx_setup_137_version2.exe)
I don't want it there because I've experienced path with 
space problems with some other apps that interact with LyX.


I tested the install with the default directory c:\program files\lyx
and it certainly seem to install properly, no error messages.

Instead I create C:\LyX and change the destination directory
to C:\Lyx Then choose English again; I choose the default
components to install: all users, desktop icon, file associations;
And there is an Ok for a Lyx shortcut for startup (incidental).

I click install. The output graphic to c:\lyx completes about
98%. Then says failed attempting to execute the configure script
I click OK. The next screen appears: Completing the LyX Setup
Wizard with a checkmark next to 'launch lyx' I click Finish

Lyx then does it routine which normally results in the
Lyx Welcome Screen being opened. But it doesn't, it says:

Lyx wasn't able to find its layout descriptions! Check that the
file textclass.lst is installed correctly. Sorry has to exit (:- 
The LyX icon does appear, and Lyx can be removed in Control Panel.

Several installs ago I had to manually delete the Lyx directory
which was under c:\documents and settings ... \stephen\lyx
But that was already removed this time. Prior, Lyx136 installed 
to c:\lyx without error. To reproduce the error change the default

destination directory from c:\program files\lyx to c:\LyX

And as I said, if I do choose c:\program files\lyx , the install
proceeds without error. So the helper apps are in order and
they also worked before with Lyx136. However, I didn't notice
whether C:\Aspell was recognized with Lyx137 which worked Lyx136.

Stephen

Custom layout and psmatrix from pstricks, 1.4.0pre2

[maarten]

Hi,

I have some trouble when trying to getting this ERT to work correctly:

\begin{psmatrix}[colsep=0.5cm]
\psframebox{Yes}  \psframebox{No}  C \\ 
\psframebox{Yesy}  \psframebox{No}  C \\
\ncline{-}{1,1}{2,1}
\end{psmatrix}

I've put \usepackage{pst-node} in the document preamble.

This works (ps2pdf) as long as I use the standard book layout. When I
use pdflatex this does not work (as I understand obviously).

On the other hand, if I generate pdf from my books (without any
pstricks) with ps2pdf I get a complaint LaTex Error: Cannot determine
size of graphic logo.png. But this works fine with pdflatex.

Does anyone have a workaround? I run 1.4.0pre2.

This is an addendum to my first detailed reply.
I reinstalled stable  lyx-1.3.6_win32_setup_v1.exe
to C:\Lyx and it installed and works as expected.

I notice that I saw more of the underlying
process of installation appearing in a command
window during the lyx136 install than I saw
with lyx137 install. But perhaps seeing that
doslike process was deliberately suppressed.

This is my current path_prefix statement from lyxrc.defaults
\path_prefix 
C:\msys\1.0\bin;C:\Python24;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\gs\gs8.13\bin;C:\ImageMagick

which is also included and part of  my Windows path.

I am not sure exactly how to achieve this from the latex end, but under linux 
one of the best ways to add animations to a presentation is simply to include a 
link in the presentation to run a program like mplayer to show an animation

This may not be what you want, as it is more suited for showing small movie

Does anyone know how to include a link that runs a system command like mplayer

I assume that this means you want every figure to be at the top of the page.  
Within Lyx, if you make sure that the figures are set inside a figure float 
(perhaps ask a question if this does not make sense).  Collapse the float and 
then right click on the float symbol. You will get a set of check-box items, 
and if you de-select use default placement you can then select top of page.

Windows Lyx-1.3.6: Font problems in headings

[YOUNES Abdelrazak / M3SYSTEM]

Hello,

I've tried to google for that but no success, maybe someone could help me
here :-).

I have some font problems with either dvi, ps, or pdf generated by lyx. With
Yap (dvi) there is an error message (see below) and the font for chapters
and sections (first level) are replaced by a default font.
With GSView, the headings just disappears in (but not in the table of
contents).
With Pdf, Acrobat just replace the font with helvetica and Foxit will not
show the heading.

I have multiple document class but the results are with same.

Thanks in advance for any hint,

[杨朝晖]

Hi all,

I'm a new LyX user. I tried this editor for several days and liked it.
But I also come up with many inconvinieces when using it. I wish lyx can
be improved (in my perspective) in the following ways:

1. Things on the left part of the math panel (functions etc.) can also
be organized in the same way as those on the right. Doing this will
allow the math panel to be more flexibly resized (e.g. to be thing and
tall, or wide and flat).

2. If the previous feature is acheived, I'd like the math panel be
dockable onto the main window (in a way similar to that many other apps
dock their tool panels).

3. The focus had better transfer back to the main edit window after
clicking a symbol on the math panel, so that the user can imediately
continue editing. (I'm using lyx qt front-end on both windows and linux,
this does not happen to me).

4. TeXmacs defined a well orgnized set of short cuts for math editing
(http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-math.en.html). I think it
will be nice if lyx adopt this or similar short cuts. Short cuts for
symbols can be shown as tool tips on the math panel, to facilitate learning.

5. Is it possible to build a tool that assist writing lyx layout files
by giving one (or more) example tex suorce(s)? This tool will have to
PARTIALLY UNDERSTAND latex commands so as to identify enviroments and
their attributes.

Thanks for taking the time reading.

In the mean time I found out logo.png in the header works for pdflatex
as long as you put another image somewhere in the document.
If you use ps2pdf you NEED logo.eps. In the rest of the document you can
still use other types of images, lyx takes care about that.

After some trail and error I found out:
The solution is to remove \usepackage{cmap} (why?) and - off course -
put ps2pdf instead of pdftex in the hyperref options in the preamble.

lyx-gtk compilation error

[Luca Nicotra]

Trying to compile lyx with gtk frontend (./configure
--with-frontend=gtk xforms --disable debug) I get the following
errors:

../xforms/FormPreferences.h:18:23: error: lyx_forms.h: No such file or directory
../xforms/FormPreferences.h:98 error: 'FL_FREE_COL15' was not declared
in this scope

Am I supposed to compile lyx-xforms before trying with gtk??

Forcing LyX to retypeset included files?

[Stefano Franchi]

I have a LyX file for a book that essentially contains a list of 
include statements for the single chapters.  Additionally, it has a 
long preamble with all the formatting instructions.


Since I am now fiddling with formatting details, I would like LyX/LaTeX 
to typeset everything from scratch  whenever I chose the ViewPDF 
option. Is it possible to do that?  Most of the times LyX seems to 
relies on the previously generated files.


Thanks for the help,

Stefano

 Question:
 How can I disallow LaTeX to linebreak an inlined math formula?

 Answer:
 You can put the formula inside an mbox to prevent LaTeX from
 splitting up the formula. The steps can be summarized as follows:

 1) Go to math mode (inline formula or display formula)
 2) Type \mbox and then a press carriage return or the spacebar
 3) The text \mbox disappear and a box appears
 4) Type the equation inside the box

 Note that if you'd like a frame around your equation, you can use fbox

Best guess(es): either the upgrade munged xdvi, or the path to xdvi that 
LyX is using is wrong.  To rule out the first, try exporting the doc as 
a DVI and then running xdvi against it manually.


This is what you get for upgrading.  Whatever happened to if it ain't 
broke, don't fix it?  :-)

Paul,

  Sigh. Why didn't I think of this? (That's a rhetorical question, by the
way.) For some reason, the t1lib was not upgraded. No library, no display.

  Well, one of the major benefits of Slackware -- for me -- is that it's far
back from the bleeding edge. I upgrade only when Patrick releases a new suite
of packages; otherwise, only security patches are applied. Unlike others, I
don't run daily or weekly upgrades for apt-get, up2date, or yum.

  There's another way of looking at that old wives' tale: if it ain't broke,
break it. :-) That's how we progress.

Many thanks,

Rich

  No, that's not it. It turns out that apparently xdvi is behind the t1
libraries. The application is looking for libt1.so.1, and the current version
of the library is libt1.so.5.1.0. The upgrade made the proper soft link so
that libt1.so.5 points to the executable's node, but xdvi can't use that. I
made an additional soft link and now xdvi is happy. So am I.

Re: Lyx Figure Placement

 Hi
 
 I am using Lyx (1.3.5 on XP) to write my thesis and have the following
 questions.
 
 1. How do I force every figure to start on a separate page?
 
A little unclear what you mean.
_only_ the figure on that page, or the figure first on that page
and perhaps some text too if the figure didn't need the whole page?

This is taken from lyx-1.4, but lyx-1.3 have much of the same options:
Insert a figure float, put the figure in that. Right-click the float
in order to bring up placement options.

Use top of page if you want the float to appear first on a page, while
also allowing text.  

Use page of floats to put the float on a page of its own, without
any text interfering. If your figures are small, then several might
go on the same page. If you don't like that, then the easy way is
to make the float bigger so nothing more fits. 

Another and better option, use ERT: \setcounter{totalnumber}{1}
for maximum one float per page.

 2. How I force every figure to be on the right page?
 
I know of no lyx specific way, but surely latex can do this.
Look up exiting latex tips, and put the latex command(s) you
need in ERT or the preamble.  Ask on a latex maling
list if you can't find this from here.
www.lyx.org have some links to latex tip pages, I believe.

Hi, could you check whether or not your problem is related to bug 1992?

Yes, it seems to be related, but I am not sure exactly how. My 
situation is a bit more complex than what you and Paul described in the 
bug report, as I have about 10 files included in the master file. I 
have not been able to track down what triggers the update and what 
doesn't. I suppose I will have to use the add a space/delete a space 
trick on all of them to force LyX to update.  I have added a few lines 
describing my situation to the bug report.


BTW, I could not find a panel in LyX preference related to the /temp 
directory. Do you know where it is?


Cheers,

S.

[announce] beta release of new LyXWin installer

[Uwe Stöhr]

Hello LyXers,

I followed the discussion on this and the lyx-devel list about the 
installer for LyXWin. As consequence especially from this article:

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/61789 (in german)
I decided to write a new one that includes all neccessary files and 
programs.


The installer installs a full functional LaTeX-environment on Windows. 
This are in detail


- math fonts needed by LyX
- needed python, perl, and UNIX shell files
- basic installation of MiKTeX
- ImageMagick
- Ghostscript
- Aspell
- GSview (optional)
- LyX 1.3.6 (with complete documentation)

The installer analyses your system and installs only the missing programs.

The big advantage is the guidance through the installation process. All 
program versions are tested to work together and are installed in the 
correct order and the correct folders. This assures to get a working LyX 
installation. (For example actual versions of ImageMagick have problems 
with EPS-files. That's why the installer includes an older version 
without this problem.)


The first beta release 0.1 of the installer can be downloaded from:

http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117

There are two versions available:

- Complete; contains all programs listed above
- Small; doesn't contain MiKTeX and GSview (to reduce the download time)

PLEASE READ THE README FILES CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLER!

Note that this is the first release that might have bugs, so please save 
your LyX-files before trying out the installer.


It is very difficult to take care of all eventualities of different 
Windows installations, so I need your feedback. Please report bugs to 
this bugtracker:

http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=5117
or directly to me.

At this point I want to thank Angus Leeming for his help - and without 
him no LyX for Windows!


I'm curious about your opinions and comments.

regards Uwe

p.s.
The installer is only partly internationalized, if you want to improve 
this, grab the source scripts

http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXPackage-0-1.rar
and follow the instructions in
http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/ReadmeScripts.txt
Someone could also improve my bad english ;-)

p.p.s.
Can someone send me a LyX-file in the LyX1.2.x format for testing some 
conversion scripts? Thanks in advance.

do we have something like #ifdef from C in LyX? (multipart documents with common macros)

[David Soukal]

Hello guys,

I'm sorry to bother you with something that's must have been answered 
many times, but I can't find a quick answer in the documentation.


I've just discovered the beauty of multipart documents. But I almost 
instantly ran into problems. What happens is the following. I have a big 
document (thesis :)) with a lot of math-macro commands defined at the 
very beginning. After my recent casual browsing through the 
documentation I rediscovered that I can have my long document split into 
parts.


Happily, I divideded my thesis into files: each chapter now has its own 
file. The problem is how to share the macros defined originally once at 
the top of the long document. I created one more file containing only 
the macros and then I inputted it into each of the files with the 
individual chapters.


The chapters compile fine, however, the master won't compile because of 
multiple definition of the same macros.


So, I'm looking for conditional compilation... something from C header 
files..


Or is there something more elegant that I'm not seeing?

THANK YOU!

David

Re: Some wishes

I uaually use \symbol or shortcuts but a dockable math panel would be
nice. Note that 1.4.0 has better toolbars.

 4. TeXmacs defined a well orgnized set of short cuts for math editing
 (http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-math.en.html). I think it
 will be nice if lyx adopt this or similar short cuts. Short cuts for
 symbols can be shown as tool tips on the math panel, to facilitate learning.

One of the biggest advantages of lyx is that you can define shortcuts
easily. If you want a math-oriented shortcut set, you can use my
shortcuts available at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts . A
reference card is provided.

That depends entirely on your LaTeX distribution. TeTeX has a
"texhash" tool that you use to generate a "ls-R" file containing an
index of all files in the distribution. MikTeX has an "update files"
button or somesuch on its package manager.

The general idea is that you don't mess with the "official" tree at
all, but create a local tree for your own stuff. Thus, I put the
"cv.cls" file at something like (don't have the Windows box in front
of me ATM):

C:\Program Files\MikTeX\
main\
...
local\
tex\
latex\
cv\
cv.cls

and then told MikTeX's package manager about the "local" tree.

HTH,
Angus

Hi, Stephen. Could you give me a detailed prescription on how to

Regards,

Yes, I will do it again. I've deleted my original c:\Lyx install.
I uninstalled Lyx137 from Control Panel because it won't
start because of the missing textclass.lst error. 
I have deleted c:\program files\lyx and c:\documentss and settings\...

\...\Application data\stephen\lyx so there is no lyx installation/files.

Starting fresh then, I go to Control Panel, Add and Remove
programs (which I will do as I type this email and report it 
step by step). I stored lyx137_2 in lyxfiles and I start the

installation there. First thing is to approve English.

Lyx install finds my 6 helper applications, msys, perl, python,
ImageMagic, Texmf and ghostscript(gs) and says 'I will add
them to the path_prefix string of lyxrc.defaults' then 'I agree'

The next screen is choosing the install location. The default
location is c:\program files\lyx (using lyx_setup_137_version2.exe)
I don't want it there because I've experienced path with 
space problems with some other apps that interact with LyX.


I tested the install with the default directory c:\program files\lyx
and it certainly seem to install properly, no error messages.

Instead I create C:\LyX and change the destination directory
to C:\Lyx Then choose English again; I choose the default
components to install: all users, desktop icon, file associations;
And there is an Ok for a Lyx shortcut for startup (incidental).

I click install. The output graphic to c:\lyx completes about
98%. Then says "failed attempting to execute the configure script"
I click OK. The next screen appears: Completing the LyX Setup
Wizard" with a checkmark next to 'launch lyx' I click "Finish"

Lyx then does it routine which normally results in the
Lyx Welcome Screen being opened. But it doesn't, it says:

"Lyx wasn't able to find its layout descriptions! Check that the
file textclass.lst is installed correctly. Sorry has to exit (:- "
The LyX icon does appear, and Lyx can be removed in Control Panel.

Several installs ago I had to manually delete the Lyx directory
which was under c:\documents and settings ... \stephen\lyx
But that was already removed this time. Prior, Lyx136 installed 
to c:\lyx without error. To reproduce the error change the default

destination directory from c:\program files\lyx to c:\LyX

And as I said, if I do choose c:\program files\lyx , the install
proceeds without error. So the helper apps are in order and
they also worked before with Lyx136. However, I didn't notice
whether C:\Aspell was recognized with Lyx137 which worked Lyx136.

Stephen

Custom layout and psmatrix from pstricks, 1.4.0pre2

[maarten]

Hi,

I have some trouble when trying to getting this ERT to work correctly:

\begin{psmatrix}[colsep=0.5cm]
\psframebox{Yes} & \psframebox{No} & C \\ 
\psframebox{Yesy} & \psframebox{No} & C \\
\ncline{->}{1,1}{2,1}
\end{psmatrix}

I've put \usepackage{pst-node} in the document preamble.

This works (ps2pdf) as long as I use the standard book layout. When I
use pdflatex this does not work (as I understand obviously).

On the other hand, if I generate pdf from my books (without any
pstricks) with ps2pdf I get a complaint "LaTex Error: Cannot determine
size of graphic logo.png". But this works fine with pdflatex.

Does anyone have a workaround? I run 1.4.0pre2.

This is an addendum to my first detailed reply.
I reinstalled stable  lyx-1.3.6_win32_setup_v1.exe
to C:\Lyx and it installed and works as expected.

I notice that I saw more of the underlying
process of installation appearing in a command
window during the lyx136 install than I saw
with lyx137 install. But perhaps seeing that
doslike process was deliberately suppressed.

This is my current path_prefix statement from lyxrc.defaults
\path_prefix 
"C:\msys\1.0\bin;C:\Python24;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\gs\gs8.13\bin;C:\ImageMagick"

which is also included and part of  my Windows path.

Lyx Figure Placement

1. How do I force every figure to start on a separate page?

2. How I force every figure to be on the right page?

PSTricks -> PostScript Tricks ...
this cannot be compiled with pdflatex. However, unless
you didn't use character expansion, ps2pdf does the same job.

I am not sure exactly how to achieve this from the latex end, but under linux 
one of the best ways to add animations to a presentation is simply to include a 
link in the presentation to run a program like mplayer to show an animation 
clip.

This may not be what you want, as it is more suited for showing small movie 
clips within a presentation.

Does anyone know how to include a link that runs a system command like "mplayer

I assume that this means you want every figure to be at the top of the page.  
Within Lyx, if you make sure that the figures are set inside a figure float 
(perhaps ask a question if this does not make sense).  Collapse the float and 
then right click on the float symbol. You will get a set of check-box items, 
and if you de-select "use default placement" you can then select "top of page".

I can't help you with this one, but it may even be a similar solution.

Windows Lyx-1.3.6: Font problems in headings

[YOUNES Abdelrazak / M3SYSTEM]

Hello,

I've tried to google for that but no success, maybe someone could help me
here :-).

I have some font problems with either dvi, ps, or pdf generated by lyx. With
Yap (dvi) there is an error message (see below) and the font for chapters
and sections (first level) are replaced by a default font.
With GSView, the headings just disappears in (but not in the table of
contents).
With Pdf, Acrobat just replace the font with helvetica and Foxit will not
show the heading.

I have multiple document class but the results are with same.

Thanks in advance for any hint,
Abdel.

[杨朝晖]

Hi all,

I'm a new LyX user. I tried this editor for several days and liked it.
But I also come up with many inconvinieces when using it. I wish lyx can
be improved (in my perspective) in the following ways:

1. Things on the left part of the math panel (functions etc.) can also
be organized in the same way as those on the right. Doing this will
allow the math panel to be more flexibly resized (e.g. to be thing and
tall, or wide and flat).

2. If the previous feature is acheived, I'd like the math panel be
dockable onto the main window (in a way similar to that many other apps
dock their tool panels).

3. The focus had better transfer back to the main edit window after
clicking a symbol on the math panel, so that the user can imediately
continue editing. (I'm using lyx qt front-end on both windows and linux,
this does not happen to me).

4. TeXmacs defined a well orgnized set of short cuts for math editing
(http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-math.en.html). I think it
will be nice if lyx adopt this or similar short cuts. Short cuts for
symbols can be shown as tool tips on the math panel, to facilitate learning.

5. Is it possible to build a tool that assist writing lyx layout files
by giving one (or more) example tex suorce(s)? This tool will have to
PARTIALLY UNDERSTAND latex commands so as to identify enviroments and
their attributes.

Thanks for taking the time reading.

You should try the MikTeX users list...

I believe I've seen similar in the past after I upgraded my MikTeX
distribution; basically you need to regenerate some database files
within MikTeX. Is therenot some menu item on the MikTeX package
manager "Rebuild databases" or somesuch?

The MikTeX archives/list will have the definitive answer.

I know the latex basics, but I forgot to mention that also when I use
logo.eps it happened.
In the mean time I found out logo.png in the header works for pdflatex
as long as you put another image somewhere in the document.
If you use ps2pdf you NEED logo.eps. In the rest of the document you can
still use other types of images, lyx takes care about that.

After some trail and error I found out:
The solution is to remove \usepackage{cmap} (why?) and - off course -
put ps2pdf instead of pdftex in the hyperref options in the preamble.

Is that really needed? I try to keep the "user" interaction about
document layout as low possible so I specified this in the layout
Preamble.

I don't know, I copied a sample I found somewhere and it worked. This
works also and is perhaps 'cleaner' code:
\rhead{\includegraphics[width=15mm]{logo.eps}}
