FYI with Layout modules in 1.6 (courtesy of Richard H.) you will at

What I typically do is:

It never shows document class mybook, until I turkey around for hours to get

pgf and external table plot
Hi,
LyX has been a real blessing, thanks a lot! Now I've come across a
problem that I don't know how to solve, maybe you can help me here.
I'm using tikz/pgf in ERT to create graphics, and in one of them I use
an external data file to create a plot. I'd really like to use pgf to
add annotations and other imagery. Simple example:
\begin{tikzpicture}
% axes
\draw (-2, 0) -- ( 2, 0);
\draw ( 0,-2) -- ( 0, 2);
\draw (0,1.9) node[anchor=east]{$M$};
\draw (1.9,0) node[anchor=north]{$H_0$};
% magnetic curve
\draw[thick, solid, domain=-2:2]
plot file{images/plotdata/langevin.table};
\end{tikzpicture}
But this doesn't work, since LyX doesn't know that it should copy the
file images_plotdata_langevin.table. And if LyX's copying-scheme would
be used, even the file command itself should point to
images_plotdata_langevin.table instead (but not for LaTeX export if I'm
right). Is there a way to achieve this, or should I just start over
again and use gnuplot instead?

Hi Steve,
Just to be clear on the basic issues here so that we don't misuse the
terminology. I also hope this will enlighten other readers on this list.
When you refer to the layout of the book, you mean the layout of printed
copy. At the end of the day, when LaTeX is building the document, this is
controlled by choosing the LaTeX document class (*.cls), using different
LaTeX style files (*.sty) and generally tweaking the document's preamble.
When I want to the control the appearance of the printed copy, I usually
proceed as follows:
* Select an already existing LyX document layout (*.layout)
* Modify the document settings through dialogs
* Tweak the document's LaTeX preamble by including LaTeX style files
(*.sty) and adding some LaTeX statements.
* Insert some LaTeX code directly into the LyX document through ERT
(Evil Red Text)
However, if I've understood you correctly, you do it slightly differently.
Instead of modifying the document to produce the desired appearance, you
create a new LyX layout file (*.layout) which contains as much as possible
of the LaTeX code. In other words, you make the .layout file select the
correct LaTeX document class through the statement
# \DeclareLaTeXClass...
and you use the .layout-file to insert LaTeX code into the document's
preamble. And of course to include LaTeX style files (*.sty).
Is this the core of it?
Your approach certainly makes sense if you intend to produce several
documents with the same printed layout, but I'm less convinced if it is
for a single book? What is it that you gain by creating a specific
LyX layout in this case?
After I've now hopefully gotten the background right, here's how you
describe what you do.
What I typically do is:
1) Make the layout file
2) ln -s /bookdir/mybook.layout /home/slitt/.lyx/layouts/mybook.layout
3) Doublecheck the line that says # \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{mybook}, make

I don't understand this... are you saying you often have problem making
LyX find your .layout file?
We need documentation on exactly what to do, and how to troubleshoot
layouts/document classes.
I agree, but you're probably the expert on creating customized LyX layouts
;-) So what do you suggest? What kind of documentation is needed?

write the document with everything but the plot in it, then export to a
.tex file and run LaTeX yourself. The other is to write a small
document that does just the plot, producing say a PDF file. (You'll
have to run LaTeX against it manually for the reason you articulated
above.) Then use includegraphics in your ERT to load the PDF. LyX will
recognize the includegraphics command in the ERT and copy the file properly.
I've used TiKZ to annotate a PDF image (generated by an external
program). Here's the relevant code snippet (done in ERT in LyX), with
the image in the file ttest.pdf, located in the same directory as the
LyX file:

It occurs to me that a simpler solution might be to put an absolute
reference to the file in the ERT. LyX still will not copy it to the
temp directory, but it won't need to.
The coffee apparently has not kicked in yet.

It seems to be pinned to the point of insertion. See attached image. In this case, a footnote runs through the figure. Perhaps this is a problem/limitation with wrapfig? James Have you followed the advise in Help-Embedded Objects-Section 3.2.2? I've copied the advise below: Quote Note: Text wrap float floats are fragile! E. g. having a figure too close to the bottom of the page can mess things up in the way that the float doesn't appear in the output or that it is placed over some other text. In general: • Wrap floats should not be placed in paragraphs that run over a page break. That means that wrap floats should better be inserted to the exact place when the document is nearly finished and you are able to estimate where page breaks will appear. • Wrap floats should either be placed in an own paragraph before the paragraph where they should wrap into or within a paragraph. • Wrap floats in consecutive paragraphs may cause troubles, so assure that there is a text paragraph between them as separator. • Wrap floats are not allowed in section headings or tables. EndQuote It seems you may want to wait until your document is finished and then adjust as necessary, Cheers, /Bob

Re: problem with 1.6.0.beta3
hello,
when I compile (run latex) a document with beta 3
I
get option clash package babel message error.
Only dissapears when I deleted
\usepackage[spanish]{babel} from preamble.
I need this option.
However, with LyX you should set it under
DocumentSettingsLanguage (choose
Spanisch) and not in the user-defined LaTeX
preamble.
LyX (since several versions) will put [spanish] (and
possibly other
languages used in the document) in the document
options and
\usepackage{babel} in the LyX-generated part of the
LaTeX preamble.

Ok, but I need to use several options of spanish
option like es-noindentafter and others options.
How I can use this options without put

FYI with Layout modules in 1.6 (courtesy of Richard H.) you will at

What I typically do is:

7) lyx mybook.lyx
It never shows document class mybook, until I turkey around for hours to get

pgf and external table plot
Hi,
LyX has been a real blessing, thanks a lot! Now I've come across a

Hi Steve,
Just to be clear on the basic issues here so that we don't misuse the
terminology. I also hope this will enlighten other readers on this list.
When you refer to the layout of the book, you mean the layout of printed
copy. At the end of the day, when LaTeX is building the document, this is
controlled by choosing the LaTeX document class (*.cls), using different
LaTeX style files (*.sty) and generally tweaking the document's preamble.
When I want to the control the appearance of the printed copy, I usually
proceed as follows:
* Select an already existing LyX document layout (*.layout)
* Modify the document settings through dialogs
* Tweak the document's LaTeX preamble by including LaTeX style files
(*.sty) and adding some LaTeX statements.
* Insert some LaTeX code directly into the LyX document through ERT
(Evil Red Text)
However, if I've understood you correctly, you do it slightly differently.
Instead of modifying the document to produce the desired appearance, you
create a new LyX layout file (*.layout) which contains as much as possible
of the LaTeX code. In other words, you make the .layout file select the
correct LaTeX document class through the statement
# \DeclareLaTeXClass...
and you use the .layout-file to insert LaTeX code into the document's
preamble. And of course to include LaTeX style files (*.sty).
Is this the core of it?
Your approach certainly makes sense if you intend to produce several
documents with the same printed layout, but I'm less convinced if it is
for a single book? What is it that you gain by creating a specific
LyX layout in this case?
After I've now hopefully gotten the background right, here's how you
describe what you do.
What I typically do is:
1) Make the layout file
2) ln -s /bookdir/mybook.layout /home/slitt/.lyx/layouts/mybook.layout
3) Doublecheck the line that says # \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{mybook}, make
sure it matches the filenames.
4) lyx
5) tools->reconfigure
6) exit lyx
7) lyx mybook.lyx
It never shows document class mybook, until I turkey around for hours to
get it to work.
I don't understand this... are you saying you often have problem making
LyX find your .layout file?
We need documentation on exactly what to do, and how to troubleshoot
layouts/document classes.
I agree, but you're probably the expert on creating customized LyX layouts
;-) So what do you suggest? What kind of documentation is needed?
cheers

I suspect there is no elegant solution, but there are two solutions that
are arguably better than switching to gnuplot. One is to use LyX to
write the document with everything but the plot in it, then export to a
.tex file and run LaTeX yourself. The other is to write a small
document that does just the plot, producing say a PDF file. (You'll
have to run LaTeX against it manually for the reason you articulated
