As a temporary workaround to get tabs available, I redefine:

\bind Tab command-alternatives 
completion-accept;cell-forward;tab-insert;depth-increment;outline-in;self-insert 
	
with last command being self-insert \t (the actual tabulation). I have 
tried unicode-insert 0x0009, but it does not work.


This is not as good as tab-insert/tab-delete, but will do the job for now...

Re: How do i plot a function?

Another possible option is to use PiCTeX, available at CTAN.  With 
LaTeX, you have to load the PiCTeX macros and then insert the code for 
your graph within a \beginpicture...\endpicture environment.  I've used 
this with LaTeX, but never with LyX.

I´ve tried, just for one instance, to enter ERT: {\footnotesize\}.  
But this works just for one instance, and even then Lyx tells me the  
following:

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the inserted text above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you

my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

Using this, I got only the string equivalent to $$Pre printed in my

Product $$Pre$$Contents(\$$AbsPath$$Basename$$Extension\)@

it works fine (except the '@' that is not printed)... except I need to

May be is it an alternate way to include line feed or @ in the product

sciposter layout

Although I can now make nice posters using Latex with sciposter.cls, I 
still wanted to use Lyx for posters, if possible.

I have tried to use the sciposter.layout for Lyx posted here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg63740.html
and stored the layout file in /usr/share/lyx/layouts
but when I tried to reconfigure Lyx (in order to acquaint it with 
sciposter.layout and make the documentclass sciposter available in the 
Document/settings, I got the message that reconfiguration had failed.  
Removing the sciposter.layout file from the layouts directory
made it possible for me to reconfigure the system again, but how do I 
include the layout file?  Do I need to create a matching .inc file for 
sciposter.layout? 
THe manual recommends adult beverages for the creation of layout files, 
but I need more sober advice.

Thanks,

Make sure this line is in the layout file.  I believe the copy and paste

Re: How do i plot a function?

[Yago]

If you need to plot this function you can use this code:

\psset{yunit=0.5cm,xunit=1cm}
\begin{pspicture*}(-2.5,-2)(2.5,10)
\psaxes[Dy=2]{-}(0,0)(-2.5,-1)(2.5,10)
\psset{linewidth=1.5pt}
\psPolynomial[coeff=0 0 3]{-2.5}{5}
\rput[lb](1.6,4.2){$f(x)$}
\end{pspicture*}

You will need the package pst-func in your preamble. See the documentation.

Hey dudes,

i would like to plot a simple function like f(x)=3x^2. I know there
are 2 ways of doing that. The first is to generate an image with an
external tool like gnuplot and include that image in the document
(Which i don't want to do). I would rather use a latex package so the
plot will be generated by data in have in the document. I have been
told i had to alter the latex preamble but is that possible at all? I
know there is a button to include Tex code but that's all.

Cheers!

script

[kgilbert]

JanR,

I don't think I ever sent you the script for un-scrambling lyx to  
pdflatex exports.  I am enclosing the email from Carrick Talmadge  
(c...@olemiss.edu) and a zip file with the script.  You might want to  
contact Carrick directly if you have questions.  I have not used the  
script yet, so I would be interested in how it goes for you. Also,  
please let me know if you receive this email.  Thanks - Ken

Here is the email Carrick:

Hi Ken,

I'm including a zip'd version of the file (otherwise the University  
virus filter may kick it out).

Unzip it in the directory you want to correct the latex.

Open a Terminal window, cd to the directory where your latex is then  
run this command:

fixEquations.sh ExampleCalculation.tex

(replace ExampleCalculation.tex with your file name of course.)

You can even type:

fixEquations.sh *.tex

or give it a list of (space delimited) files that you want to run it  
on.  E.g.,

fixEquations.tex a.tex b.tex c.tex

Notes:

The script will move all embedded \begin and \end statements to the  
beginning of a line.  (Not just begin{equations}.)  If you want it to  
be more specific in terms of which types of begin/end statements you  
want to always start at the beginning of a line, let me know.

This script makes a copy of each file it modifies as filename~.  For  
example running the command

fixEquations.sh ExampleCalculation.tex

will create a file named ExampleCalculation.tex~

I've tested it on my computer, there is no reason to expect it not to  
work on yours, but as with any new script that is this invasive, I  
recommend backing up all of your files before trying it and verifying  
it does what you want.

Carrick

Re: How do i plot a function?

[Yago]

If you need to plot this function you can use this code:

\psset{yunit=0.5cm,xunit=1cm}
\begin{pspicture*}(-2.5,-2)(2.5,10)
\psaxes[Dy=2]{-}(0,0)(-2.5,-1)(2.5,10)
\psset{linewidth=1.5pt}
\psPolynomial[coeff=0 0 3]{-2.5}{5}
\rput[lb](1.6,4.2){$f(x)$}
\end{pspicture*}

You will need the package pst-func in your preamble. See the documentation.

Subject: How do i plot a function?



Hey dudes,

i would like to plot a simple function like f(x)=3x^2. I know there
are 2 ways of doing that. The first is to generate an image with an
external tool like gnuplot and include that image in the document
(Which i don't want to do). I would rather use a latex package so the
plot will be generated by data in have in the document. I have been
told i had to alter the latex preamble but is that possible at all? I
know there is a button to include Tex code but that's all.

Cheers!

script

[kgilbert]

JanR,

I don't think I ever sent you the script for un-scrambling lyx to  
pdflatex exports.  I am enclosing the email from Carrick Talmadge  
(c...@olemiss.edu) and a zip file with the script.  You might want to  
contact Carrick directly if you have questions.  I have not used the  
script yet, so I would be interested in how it goes for you. Also,  
please let me know if you receive this email.  Thanks - Ken

Here is the email Carrick:

Hi Ken,

I'm including a zip'd version of the file (otherwise the University  
virus filter may kick it out).

Unzip it in the directory you want to correct the latex.

Open a Terminal window, cd to the directory where your latex is then  
run this command:

fixEquations.sh ExampleCalculation.tex

(replace ExampleCalculation.tex with your file name of course.)

You can even type:

fixEquations.sh *.tex

or give it a list of (space delimited) files that you want to run it  
on.  E.g.,

fixEquations.tex a.tex b.tex c.tex

Notes:

The script will move all embedded \begin and \end statements to the  
beginning of a line.  (Not just begin{equations}.)  If you want it to  
be more specific in terms of which types of begin/end statements you  
want to always start at the beginning of a line, let me know.

This script makes a copy of each file it modifies as filename~.  For  
example running the command

fixEquations.sh ExampleCalculation.tex

will create a file named ExampleCalculation.tex~

I've tested it on my computer, there is no reason to expect it not to  
work on yours, but as with any new script that is this invasive, I  
recommend backing up all of your files before trying it and verifying  
it does what you want.

Carrick

As a temporary workaround to get tabs available, I redefine:

\bind "Tab" "command-alternatives 
completion-accept;cell-forward;tab-insert;depth-increment;outline-in;self-insert 
	"
with last command being self-insert \t (the actual tabulation). I have 
tried unicode-insert 0x0009, but it does not work.


This is not as good as tab-insert/tab-delete, but will do the job for now...

Mauricio,

  I do not know what problem you are having. I build my own Slackware

  Are you having difficulties invoking the appliacation? At the command line
in a virtual terminal type (without the quotation marks) 'lyx -dbg'. The

no this wont help. lyx binary is missing correct libary/ies. either compile
it against libraries on your system or get lyx binary from some standard
packaging system on slackware which provides this compatibility, dunno
how it works on slack.

Re: How do i plot a function?

[Murray Eisenberg]

Another possible option is to use PiCTeX, available at CTAN.  With 
LaTeX, you have to load the PiCTeX macros and then insert the code for 
your graph within a \beginpicture...\endpicture environment.  I've used 
this with LaTeX, but never with LyX.

Article (Koma): How to change fontsize for "Abstract"

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

I use Lyx 1.6.2 and want to have a smaller fontsize for the "abstract"- 
article. How could I achieve that?
I´ve tried, just for one instance, to enter ERT: "{\footnotesize\}".  
But this works just for one instance, and even then Lyx tells me the  
following:


 \end{abstract}
I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the  above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

In the compiled text there´s a "}" as the first sign of the text…

I hope you could help, best*

  LyX is not part of the Slackware distribution. I'll be happy to send the
OP the lyx.SlackBuild script, but it can also be downloaded from
http://www.slackbuilds.org.

Defining external material product on several lines

[Philippe Grosjean]

Using LyX 1.6.3 Mac OS X, I am not able to define Product on several 
lines (as the example in the Customization manual). Here is my definition:


Template Rcode
GuiName "R code: $$FName"
HelpText
Insert R code inside a R-Chunk (Sweave document).
HelpTextEnd
InputFormat R
FileFilter "*.{R,r}"
AutomaticProduction false
Preview Off
Transform Extra
[...]
Format Ascii
TransformOption Extra  ExtraOption
Option Pre "<<$$Extra>>="
Product "$$Pre
$$Contents(\"$$AbsPath$$Basename$$Extension\")
@"
FormatEnd
TemplateEnd

Using this, I got only the string equivalent to $$Pre printed in my 
document. If I put everything on one line, that is:


Product "$$Pre$$Contents(\"$$AbsPath$$Basename$$Extension\")@"

it works fine (except the '@' that is not printed)... except I need to 
include line feed between the three elements for correct noweb 
formatting of my output!
May be is it an alternate way to include line feed or @ in the product 
(I have testes \n and \@ without success)?

Best,

I would do this using Grace (http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/) and 
print the plot to a PDF file.  This can then be included in LyX as a figure. 

Within Grace, the menu sequence is: Edit>Datasets>Edit>Create new>By formula

>sciposter layout

[Ehud Kaplan]

Although I can now make nice posters using Latex with sciposter.cls, I 
still wanted to use Lyx for posters, if possible.

I have tried to use the sciposter.layout for Lyx posted here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg63740.html
and stored the layout file in /usr/share/lyx/layouts
but when I tried to reconfigure Lyx (in order to acquaint it with 
sciposter.layout and make the documentclass sciposter available in the 
Document/settings, I got the message that reconfiguration had failed.  
Removing the sciposter.layout file from the layouts directory
made it possible for me to reconfigure the system again, but how do I 
include the layout file?  Do I need to create a matching .inc file for 
sciposter.layout? 
THe manual recommends adult beverages for the creation of layout files, 
but I need more sober advice.

Thanks,

Make sure this line is in the layout file.  I believe the copy and paste 
removed the end of line feed after the #.   The line should look like this and 
then you should be able to reconfigure.
