 Use the large brackets, blank on the left, } on the right, and put a 
 matrix inside it of size nx2, where n is the number of cases you want.

Well, this is what I want to have, but I don't see any predefined option for
creating such large brackets, blank on the left, } on the right in LyX.
There is only an option for double braces { } in the equation editor of LyX.
Please tell me how to create it.

Question

[Walters Evelyn]

Hello LyX,

 

I'm a somewhat new convert to LyX, am thoroughly impressed with what it has
to offer, but am having an issue at the moment.

 

I would like to insert a flowchart which I have created in Dia. From Dia I
am able to export the flowchart as a .tex file and input it into my LyX
document (input child document within a float figure). I chose .tex file as
I prefer to have the LaTeX font used everywhere in both my diagram and text.

 

When I rendered the document for the first time I noticed that the diagram
was massive. Therefore I wanted to rescale it. Using a TeX command line I
inserted the following:

 

\centering

{\scalefont{0.5}

Input: Schematicdrawing.tex

}

 

This works great for decreasing the font size, however the rest of my
flowchart (boxes, arrows, .) are still large. Is there a way to scale these
as well in LyX?

 

I then thought to rescale everything in Dia (50%). Unfortunately when I
input the .tex into LyX, only the boxes, arrows, lines,. have been rescaled,
the font size remains the same. At this point I thought it would be possible
to use the \scalefont{0.5} function in LyX to get the diagram looking as it
should. Unfortunately the text seems to have shifted slightly to the right.

 

Can you provide any advice on how to rescale .tex files within LyX?

 

Thanks so much,

Eve

When in math mode on that same menu bar that shows the {}, there is 
another choice with [ ] (and a smaller rectangle inside).  Click on that 
and you get a popup menu with lots of choices for right and left side 
delimiters.  Alternately, go to Insert  Math  Delimiters.  Be sure to 
uncheck the keep matched option, and choose for the left, {, and for

Hello:

I suggest that you try floatrow package. It is very powerful.
You can make boxed figures in different styles and control the lookout
very precisely. Unfortunately the manual is not very easy to understand.
Together with the caption package you can control captions as well.
Here I am attaching an example lyx file. Please note that it uses
your example png image which have to put in the same directory where
you put this example lyx file.

It does.  You just have to enter it as raw TeX (Insert  TeX Code or Ctrl-L), in
square bracket, as in ERT[totalwidth=50mm]/ERT.

 Or for that matter the Column command requires you to give 
 an absolute width for the column and doesnt allow a relative spec  like 
 0.5\textwidth.

Relative widths work.  Again, enter them as raw TeX (but this time without the
