Problem with Algorithm Floats: Undefined Control Sequence
Hello, I'm having a weird problem with Algorithm Floats. I am using a master document with several child documents (one for each chapter). The odd thing is that when I compile/pdf the child document by itself, the algorithm floats seem to work just fine. However, when I try to compile/pdf the master document, I get an error: Undefined Control Sequence. In the details, it basically tells me that the algorithm command isn't defined correctly. I am using the 'report' class. Also using OSX 10.5 (leopard). On a related note, when using a program listing (without any algorithms) that seems to be fine. I am also trying ot understand the difference between the program listing, the algorithm float, and the lyx-code format, since they all seem to be similar to what I want. Please help! =)

Changing language from English to British
I have 7 child documents, the first four of these were created with English language set as default. Changing the spell check to British only underlines text as written by different language. This is done by changing both: Document - Settings - Language to British and Tools - Preferences - Default Language to British The language still English as seen in the source code and spell check still apply American dictionary. More funny thing is that, I copied the text into a new LYX file with the new language settings but text is still checked using the English (American) dictionary while added text to same file is checked using British dictionary. For example it suggests some times to change (neighbor to neighbour) and some times (neighbour to neighbor) Hassan Khater Materials Science

Adjusting space between cells in a table

I can easily adjust the cell width, but what I want is to reduce the amount of space between the cells. I am trying to condense have a large table to make it fit on one page. Thank you, Guillaume

Put an ERT with
\noindent \setlength{\tabcolsep}{1pt}
right in front of the table.
You might also want to put an ERT with \begin{scriptsize} before, and
\end{scriptsize} after the table, if you want to reduce the fontsize for
the whole table.

Re: Excel graphs into Lyx
This won't be terribly helpful, but my short answer would be that there is no way that qualifies even as good, let alone best, for most figures. I hadn't made a figure in Excel in a long time, but I just did to muck around. I couldn't figure out how to save the figure (chart) by itself as an image. I saved the worksheet as a web page to force the chart into its own image file, but it was a GIF. How did you get them into JPGs? Is this Office 2007, the new and unimproved Office? Either way, the image that came out was not good and couldn't be resized in an editor - forget the reason why, something about scalable, vectorization... One thing I've done in a pinch is to make the image fill as much of the screen as possible and use Print Screen, then paste that image into an editor like GIMP. This will work to get decent resolution for simple stuff, but I wouldn't do it for publications or any final product. timtheenchanter wrote: Sorry if this question has been answered before but what is the best way to import excel graphs (Charts) into Lyx.

Are there any build in pseudocode editor in LyX or is it only possible to write pseudocode by inserting a raw latex environment in the lyx file? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Pseudocode-in-LyX--tp678469p678469.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It's in lib/lyx2lyx/, and you can browse it here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/lib/lyx2lyx or download it via svn. The program is written in python. The conversion is done one format jump at a time, and every time the format is changed, an appropriate routine is written. rh

"Edit -> paste external selection -> as lines" does not exists
I am following these steps from: http://www.stat.rice.edu/~helpdesk/howto/lyxguide.html regarding algorithm environment. 1) insert -> float -> algorithm 2) set caption 3) copy the source code from emacs etc 4) select lyx Code environment 5) Edit -> paste extenal selection -> as lines. But step 5 is not possible in my version of LyX: 1.5.5 for windows. I can only choose: Paste special -> Plain Text Paste special -> Plain Text, Join Lines But neither gives a nice result. Any hints? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/%22Edit--%3E-paste-external-selection--%3E-as-lines%22--does-not-exists-tp678559p678559.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: "Edit -> paste external selection -> as lines" does not exists
It seems that when you type in the caption it appears as a title instead of at the bottom of the algorithm (like when you insert a figure). Is i possible to get both a title for the algorithm and a normal caption like the ones for figures? bigblop wrote: > > I am following these steps from: > > http://www.stat.rice.edu/~helpdesk/howto/lyxguide.html > > regarding algorithm environment. > > > 1) insert -> float -> algorithm > 2) set caption > 3) copy the source code from emacs etc > 4) select lyx Code environment > 5) Edit -> paste extenal selection -> as lines. > > But step 5 is not possible in my version of LyX: 1.5.5 for windows.

Re: "Edit -> paste external selection -> as lines" does not exists
What do you mean by "nice result". On my Windows XP, I get exactly what I expected : my piece of code typeset in a type-writer font ( I use Plain text to keep all the line breaks of my code ) . If you want something like syntax highlighting, try Inser > listings. This package enables you tho have a lot of options ( language, line numbering ...). Siegfried.

Changing language from English to British
I have 7 child documents, the first four of these were created with English language set as default. Changing the spell check to British only underlines text as written by different language. This is done by changing both: Document -> Settings -> Language to British and Tools -> Preferences -> Default Language to British The language still English as seen in the source code and spell check still apply American dictionary. More funny thing is that, I copied the text into a new LYX file with the new language settings but text is still checked using the English (American) dictionary while added text to same file is checked using British dictionary. For example it suggests some times to change (neighbor to neighbour) and some times (neighbour to neighbor) Hassan Khater Materials Science

Thank you very much indeed... it's so simple,
I can even use latex command to make it bold-italic, by entering in the
index entries,
for example:
$\boldsymbol{N}$!Newton's Laws ! Law 2
Thank you again Uwe

And 1.6 will make this easier, since the Index inset will be a normal
LyX inset, like a footnote.

Adjusting space between cells in a table
Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to adjust the horizontal space between cells in a table in Lyx. I can easily adjust the cell width, but what I want is to reduce the amount of space between the cells. I am trying to condense have a large table to make it fit on one page. Thank you, Guillaume

Put an ERT with
\noindent \setlength{\tabcolsep}{1pt}
right in front of the table.
You might also want to put an ERT with \begin{scriptsize} before, and
\end{scriptsize} after the table, if you want to reduce the fontsize for
the whole table.

Re: Excel graphs into Lyx
This won't be terribly helpful, but my short answer would be that there is no way that qualifies even as good, let alone best, for most figures. I hadn't made a figure in Excel in a long time, but I just did to muck around. I couldn't figure out how to save the figure (chart) by itself as an image. I saved the worksheet as a web page to force the chart into its own image file, but it was a GIF. How did you get them into JPGs? Is this Office 2007, the new and unimproved Office? Either way, the image that came out was not good and couldn't be resized in an editor - forget the reason why, something about scalable, vectorization... One thing I've done in a pinch is to make the image fill as much of the screen as possible and use Print Screen, then paste that image into an editor like GIMP. This will work to get "decent" resolution for simple stuff, but I wouldn't do it for publications or any final product. timtheenchanter wrote: > > Sorry if this question has been answered before but what is the best way > to import excel graphs (Charts) into Lyx.
