apa.cls does not come with LyX, it's a LaTeX package.  You have to 
download and install it from a LaTeX repository.  Details depend on your 
particular LaTeX distribution.

You set the caption by right-clicking the figure inset and checking 
Subfigure on the Extra options tab, correct?  Unfortunately, I believe 
that subfigure only works inside a figure environment (i.e., in a figure 
float).


If you really need to avoid using a float, you can try the suggestion at

The apa package (apa.cls and associated files) can be found at 
http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/apa/.


I'm not a teTeX user, and you didn't indicate what Linux distribution 
you're using.  The current version of teTeX is 1.3.2.  If you Google 
tetex apa package (without the quotes) you'll find some links to RPMs 
(if your Linux distro uses RPM), but the first couple at least are a bit 
dated (version 1.3.0).  You can download the package from CTAN, put it 
in a folder somewhere in your localtexmf tree, and refresh your database 
(don't know the teTeX command for that; it might be texhash).


If you need more guidance, perhaps a teTeX user can help.

Hope that helps,

Re: lyx 1.4.1 FC4

[Paul Johnson]

Assuming there are not additional tetex packages you are missing, then
you have to do the installs by hand.

Install the LaTeX class files you need, probably under
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex, then run texhash to make the LaTeX
system recognize them,  then re-run the lyx reconfigure command and
restart lyx.  When you do that, start lyx from a terminal so youcan
watch the detailed error messages, showing which LaTeX classes it
finds.

Now, about installing the LaTeX classes.  Not all classes are good,
you know, so some experimentation is required.  SOme come with
detailed instructions about installers, others are just a *.sty or
*.cls file.  You can usually find them in CTAn and take the tar.gz
package, and then if you open that as a subdirectory under
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex, then all is well. I don't hold
myself out as the greatest Linux administrator ever, but maybe you can
just copy my example. Here's a cut and paste:

$ pwd
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex

After you dump the LaTeX file in those subdirectories, then the
texhash command re-builds the index of installed packages.  Then Lyx
reconfigure will see that.

Good Luck.  LyX and Linux get better all the time.

something that i might need to install to get the rest of the classes.
i THINK it was latex2e.  but yum didn't know what that was.

with concern towards the book class, i was wondering how do i set the

five pages stacked on top of one another; i need the top right side to
read ONE, and the top left one to read SIXTEEN (i hope i got that right).

Re: APA.cls missing, not apa.layout

[Paul Johnson]

OK, I just saw this second message about apa and got curious why
anybody would want it, so I installed it.  Here is the step-by-step
instruction on how you can install apa and apacite.

# su
(assuming you don't have the directory already: )
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex
# cd /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex
# wget ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apacite.zip
# unzip apacite.zip
# wget ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/apa.zip
# unzip apa.zip
# texhash
# exit

Open a terminal, then type

lyx


In there, run tools/reconfigure, close lyx.

In the terminal, look back and make sure it found apa apacite.  Mine
did, I bet yours will too.

Good Luck

floatflt environment controll

[Gunnar]

Hi. I have my own environment for theorems, etc, and in one theorem I use a 
floatflt figure to show some stuff. It looks like this:


Theorem 7.7
 yada yada yada  yada yada yada 

formula
 picture here
formula
   


It wrapps nicely, but when I add standard text below the theorem, outside of 
the environment, the floatflt seems to still wrap text, even if it seems to 
be totaly unnecesery. Is there some way of  making floatflt to behave better 
for this?

Re: floatflt environment controll

[Gunnar]

And I should perhaps add that if I add a long text directly after the formulas 
inside of the theorem environment, then that text isn't wrapped. Very 
strange.

  I need get centered or right aligned data in

 If you are doing the table

 something like {llclrc} where there is a letter for
 each column (l for left aligned, r for right
 aligned, c for centered).

Paul,

  At last count, there were more than a dozen vector graphics applications
available for linux. Some of them (e.g., IPE, jpicedt, tgif) are great for
drawing various shapes; others (e.g., Gri and PSTricks) also include data
plotting capabilities. R, of course, is a statistical data analysis language
that incorporates plot generation, too.

  Depending on what is needed, the other applications may have a shorter,
more shallow learning curve. Most of them produce .eps or .pdf as output so
incorporation into LyX is smooth and easy.

Hi

Thanks for introducing me the depth of vector graphics in LInux.

Expediency is the essence right now and not so much on technical accuracy so 
the simpler gui based applications do a fine job.

I have noted the technical ability of PSTricks and R and have found them in the 
Ubuntu depos and will look at them after I finish this term.

thanks again

If you are going to make a lot of graphs, and keep doing this over
your career, I'd strongly suggest you learn to use the free
statistical program R, which can make publication quality graphics,
write on them however you like, and export ot pdf, png, eps, or

Paul,

  At last count, there were more than a dozen vector graphics applications
available for linux. Some of them (e.g., IPE, jpicedt, tgif) are great for
drawing various shapes; others (e.g., Gri and PSTricks) also include data
plotting capabilities. R, of course, is a statistical data analysis language
that incorporates plot generation, too.

  Depending on what is needed, the other applications may have a shorter,
more shallow learning curve. Most of them produce .eps or .pdf as output so
incorporation into LyX is smooth and easy.

Hi

Thanks for introducing me the depth of vector graphics in LInux.

Expediency is the essence right now and not so much on technical accuracy so 
the simpler gui based applications do a fine job.

I have noted the technical ability of PSTricks and R and have found them in the 
Ubuntu depos and will look at them after I finish this term.

thanks again

Russell

apa.cls does not come with LyX, it's a LaTeX package.  You have to 
download and install it from a LaTeX repository.  Details depend on your 
particular LaTeX distribution.

You set the caption by right-clicking the figure inset and checking 
Subfigure on the Extra options tab, correct?  Unfortunately, I believe 
that subfigure only works inside a figure environment (i.e., in a figure 
float).


If you really need to avoid using a float, you can try the suggestion at

The apa package (apa.cls and associated files) can be found at 
http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/apa/.


I'm not a teTeX user, and you didn't indicate what Linux distribution 
you're using.  The current version of teTeX is 1.3.2.  If you Google 
"tetex apa package" (without the quotes) you'll find some links to RPMs 
(if your Linux distro uses RPM), but the first couple at least are a bit 
dated (version 1.3.0).  You can download the package from CTAN, put it 
in a folder somewhere in your localtexmf tree, and refresh your database 
(don't know the teTeX command for that; it might be texhash).


If you need more guidance, perhaps a teTeX user can help.

Hope that helps,
/Paul

Re: lyx 1.4.1 & FC4

[Paul Johnson]

Assuming there are not additional tetex packages you are missing, then
you have to do the installs by hand.

Install the LaTeX class files you need, probably under
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex, then run "texhash" to make the LaTeX
system recognize them,  then re-run the lyx reconfigure command and
restart lyx.  When you do that, start lyx from a terminal so youcan
watch the detailed error messages, showing which LaTeX classes it
finds.

Now, about installing the LaTeX classes.  Not all classes are good,
you know, so some experimentation is required.  SOme come with
detailed instructions about installers, others are just a *.sty or
*.cls file.  You can usually find them in CTAn and take the tar.gz
package, and then if you open that as a subdirectory under
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex, then all is well. I don't hold
myself out as the greatest Linux administrator ever, but maybe you can
just copy my example. Here's a cut and paste:

$ pwd
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex

$ ls -l

After you dump the LaTeX file in those subdirectories, then the
texhash command re-builds the index of installed packages.  Then Lyx
reconfigure will see that.

Good Luck.  LyX and Linux get better all the time.

hi there, i'm using FC4 and lyx 1.4.1
i installed using YUM by asking for tetex, and then lyx-qt.  the system
installed both.  (i am a new user by the way)  So i figured out that by
creating a new document and then going to Document Settings it would
create the document as a book or as an APA style class.  However, there
is a problem.  Several of the classes including the APA class are listed
as unavailable; i can use the book class to make a book, however, i have
another question about that later.  main concern is how do i obtain more
classes?  i read in the tutorial (or introduction) that there was
something that i might need to install to get the rest of the classes.
i THINK it was "latex2e".  but yum didn't know what that was.

with concern towards the book class, i was wondering how do i set the
document up to print exactly like a book, for instance, their will be
five pages stacked on top of one another; i need the top right side to
read ONE, and the top left one to read SIXTEEN (i hope i got that right).

Re: APA.cls missing, not apa.layout

[Paul Johnson]

OK, I just saw this second message about apa and got curious why
anybody would want it, so I installed it.  Here is the step-by-step
instruction on how you can install apa and apacite.

# su
(assuming you don't have the directory already: )
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex
# cd /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex
# wget ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apacite.zip
# unzip apacite.zip
# wget ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/apa.zip
# unzip apa.zip
# texhash
# exit

Open a terminal, then type

lyx


In there, run tools/reconfigure, close lyx.

In the terminal, look back and make sure it found apa apacite.  Mine
did, I bet yours will too.

Good Luck

PJ

floatflt environment controll

[Gunnar]

Hi. I have my own environment for theorems, etc, and in one theorem I use a 
floatflt figure to show some stuff. It looks like this:


Theorem 7.7
 yada yada yada  yada yada yada 

formula
 picture here
formula
   


It wrapps nicely, but when I add standard text below the theorem, outside of 
the environment, the floatflt seems to still wrap text, even if it seems to 
be totaly unnecesery. Is there some way of  making floatflt to behave better 
for this?

Re: floatflt environment controll

[Gunnar]

And I should perhaps add that if I add a long text directly after the formulas 
inside of the theorem environment, then that text isn't wrapped. Very 
strange.
