Re: How to configure plantuml with lyx

[rajender saini]

Thanks Rainer, I am able to generate diagram into lyx master file using the
steps shared by you. Thank you very much.



My master file include the .plantuml file as graphic as suggested by you
and it is working fine.

I wanted to export whole file as PDF so

Next I used inkscape to convert SVG to PDF by adding convertor.

when i run export as PDF image is not included into the master PDF doc.


 I can see the SVG to PDF conversion happening into the temp cache
directory. but somehow it is not included into master file any pointer will
help.


Regards,
Rajender Saini

 Sure.

 I will CC it to the LyX list to have it there for reference.

 I assume you have downloaded plantuml.

 1) Define a new File Format, named plantuml:

 Vector graphics format: I ticked it - what are actually the
 implications of this field?
 Short name: plantuml
 Extension:  plantuml
 So all files with the extension .plantuml will be considered as
 plantuml source code files files!

 Editor: I choose Emacs, but set any text editor you want.

 In the preferences files, this corresponds to the following line in
 the formats section:

 \format plantuml plantuml plantuml   open -n -a Emacs
 - --args --name LyX --title LyX --no-desktop vector

 Now we have to define the converters, i.e. how to convert the plantuml
 file into a format usable by the converter chain in LyX. This now
 depends on you installed converters, but I got the best results when
 using svg as the *only* output format of plantuml, and then use the
 standard converter tools of LyX to convert these into the required
 formats.

 The conversion of svg (a vector format) to eps, PDF and PNG
 is done by rsvg, which is detected and configured automatically by
 LyX. If you don't have it installed, install it and re-configure :LyX
 and it should be detected.

 Coming back to plantuml: The converter to be defined converts the
 .plantuml to a graphics format .svg (vector):

 - From format: plantuml
 To format:  SVG
 Converter: /Users/rainerkrug/bin/plantuml $$i -ofile $$o -tsvg

 The preference file line is:

 \converter plantuml svg /Users/rainerkrug/bin/plantuml $$i -ofile
 $$o -tsvg 

 The last step: What is the file /Users/rainerkrug/bin/plantuml? It is
 *not* the .jar file but the following:

 It is from https://gist.github.com/eelcocramer/4502562 and it simply
 makes
 calling plantuml much easier.

 Make sure tht this ~/bin/plantuml is executable!

 Now, in LyX, you simply have to add a .plantuml file as a picture, and
 you should be able to edit it via right-mouse-click and it should be
 converted into all the needed formats.

 Now This worked for me under Mac (I am using it right now) and Linux
 (used it before). There might be differences under Windows, but I
 would suggest to ask on the mailing list if you don't get it to work,
 so that therte is a reference to this.


 Hope this helps,

 Rainer

Hm - no idea here - if the conversion to a .svg - .pdf I have no idea why

together with the .plantuml file so that I can try it out if it works here.

Re: simple algorithm float numbering (1, 2, 3,...)

I found out the solution. Just insert in the Latex Preamble:


\usepackage{chngcntr}

\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}

\counterwithout{equation}{chapter}

\counterwithout{algorithm}{chapter}


and you got simple (1, 2, 3, ...) numbering of figures, equations and

 The only change needed is to remove the [chapter] optional argument to

 Is there a possibility to redefine the algorithm float?

Automated PDF creation under windows

[Matthias Weißer]

Hi

I would like to export a lyx file on the command line to a PDF. This 
should be included in a automated process building a bigger software 
package. I tried


Lyx.exe --export pdflatex document.lyx

but nothing happens. I can see that lyx.exe comes up in the background, 
starts some child processes (python.exe) and then it exits after a 
couple of seconds and the PDF isn't created. Exporting the file from the 
editor takes about a minute or so and end successfully.


Even

Lyx.exe -help

doens't produce any output. Lyx version is 2.9

Any hints?

Regards
Matthias

Lyx with spelling dictionary

[Ben Lowe]

Hi,

I'm using redhat 6; I've tried downloading the latest source and
following these steps:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/CreatingLyXRPM#toc3

And also tried creating an RPM package, however the dictionary choice
in preferences  language settings  spellchecker; all options are
greyed out, and I cannot provide a hunspell path under preferences
paths as this is greyed out. I have relevant hunspell dictionary
files in the ~/.lyx/dicts/ folder and they are named correctly.

This a common issue with linux due to not compiling it with
spellchecking support, and a fix is apparently to use 'Enchant' engine
instead, however I have the Enchant package, and I still cannot select
any spellchecker engines from the spellchecker menu.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can compile lyx on Redhat
with spell checking support?

Many Thanks,

Ben Lowe

Hi,

you have to provide the developer packages of the spell checker of your
choice at compile time (of LyX). In case it's enchant you have to configure
enchant, in case it's hunspell you may provide the path for the dictionary
files under preferences if they're not found automatically.

Dear Stephan,

Thanks for your quick response. What option do I provide lyx with in

information in the README, INSTALL etc.,

Until I do this, I cannot provide a path for Hunspell as the path
section is greyed out, and I cannot select the Enchant engine.

Sorry for being unclear.

You have to install the developer packages - aka rpms - for
the spell checker of your choice. Something like hunspell-devel-*
for hunspell (I don't know the package name for RedHat and I don't
know either if it exists).

After doing so LyX detects it at configure time and will be build
with hunspell support. This should be mentioned in config.log.

There is no configure option.

 Until I do this, I cannot provide a path for Hunspell as the path
 section is greyed out, and I cannot select the Enchant engine.

Hunspell is not Enchant. Hunspell path is for hunspell spell checker.

I'd recommend using hunspell. I don't know if enchant is usable.

lyx --export pdf2 document.lyx

Look in Tools-Preferences-File Handling-File Formats  to see the short
name for each format.

Re: How to configure plantuml with lyx

[rajender saini]

Thanks Rainer, I am able to generate diagram into lyx master file using the
steps shared by you. Thank you very much.



My master file include the .plantuml file as graphic as suggested by you
and it is working fine.

I wanted to export whole file as PDF so

Next I used inkscape to convert SVG to PDF by adding convertor.

when i run export as PDF image is not included into the master PDF doc.


 I can see the SVG to PDF conversion happening into the temp cache
directory. but somehow it is not included into master file any pointer will
help.

Rajender Saini

 Sure.

 I will CC it to the LyX list to have it there for reference.

 I assume you have downloaded plantuml.

 1) Define a new File Format, named plantuml:

 Vector graphics format: I ticked it - what are actually the
 implications of this field?
 Short name: plantuml
 Extension:  plantuml
 So all files with the extension .plantuml will be considered as
 plantuml source code files files!

 Editor: I choose Emacs, but set any text editor you want.

 In the preferences files, this corresponds to the following line in
 the formats section:

 \format plantuml plantuml plantuml   open -n -a Emacs
 - --args --name LyX --title LyX --no-desktop vector

 Now we have to define the converters, i.e. how to convert the plantuml
 file into a format usable by the converter chain in LyX. This now
 depends on you installed converters, but I got the best results when
 using svg as the *only* output format of plantuml, and then use the
 standard converter tools of LyX to convert these into the required
 formats.

 The conversion of svg (a vector format) to eps, PDF and PNG
 is done by rsvg, which is detected and configured automatically by
 LyX. If you don't have it installed, install it and re-configure :LyX
 and it should be detected.

 Coming back to plantuml: The converter to be defined converts the
 .plantuml to a graphics format .svg (vector):

 - From format: plantuml
 To format:  SVG
 Converter: /Users/rainerkrug/bin/plantuml $$i -ofile $$o -tsvg

 The preference file line is:

 \converter plantuml svg /Users/rainerkrug/bin/plantuml $$i -ofile
 $$o -tsvg 

 The last step: What is the file /Users/rainerkrug/bin/plantuml? It is
 *not* the .jar file but the following:

 It is from https://gist.github.com/eelcocramer/4502562 and it simply
 makes
 calling plantuml much easier.

 Make sure tht this ~/bin/plantuml is executable!

 Now, in LyX, you simply have to add a .plantuml file as a picture, and
 you should be able to edit it via right-mouse-click and it should be
 converted into all the needed formats.

 Now This worked for me under Mac (I am using it right now) and Linux
 (used it before). There might be differences under Windows, but I
 would suggest to ask on the mailing list if you don't get it to work,
 so that therte is a reference to this.


 Hope this helps,

I found out the solution. Just insert in the Latex Preamble:

\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}

\counterwithout{algorithm}{chapter}


and you got simple (1, 2, 3, ...) numbering of figures, equations and

Lyx with spelling dictionary

[Ben Lowe]

Hi,

I'm using redhat 6; I've tried downloading the latest source and
following these steps:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/CreatingLyXRPM#toc3

And also tried creating an RPM package, however the dictionary choice
in preferences  language settings  spellchecker; all options are
greyed out, and I cannot provide a hunspell path under preferences
paths as this is greyed out. I have relevant hunspell dictionary
files in the ~/.lyx/dicts/ folder and they are named correctly.

This a common issue with linux due to not compiling it with
spellchecking support, and a fix is apparently to use 'Enchant' engine
instead, however I have the Enchant package, and I still cannot select
any spellchecker engines from the spellchecker menu.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can compile lyx on Redhat
with spell checking support?

Many Thanks,

Ben Lowe

Hi,

you have to provide the developer packages of the spell checker of your
choice at compile time (of LyX). In case it's enchant you have to configure
enchant, in case it's hunspell you may provide the path for the dictionary
files under preferences if they're not found automatically.

Dear Stephan,

Thanks for your quick response. What option do I provide lyx with in
order to compile with enchant/hunspell etc.? I cannot find this
information in the README, INSTALL etc.,

Until I do this, I cannot provide a path for Hunspell as the path
section is greyed out, and I cannot select the Enchant engine.

Sorry for being unclear.

You have to install the developer packages - aka rpms - for
the spell checker of your choice. Something like hunspell-devel-*
for hunspell (I don't know the package name for RedHat and I don't
know either if it exists).

After doing so LyX detects it at configure time and will be build
with hunspell support. This should be mentioned in config.log.

There is no configure option.

 Until I do this, I cannot provide a path for Hunspell as the path
 section is greyed out, and I cannot select the Enchant engine.

Hunspell is not Enchant. Hunspell path is for hunspell spell checker.

I'd recommend using hunspell. I don't know if enchant is usable.

 greyed out, and I cannot provide a hunspell path under preferences
 paths as this is greyed out. I have relevant hunspell dictionary
 files in the ~/.lyx/dicts/ folder and they are named correctly.
 
 This a common issue with linux due to not compiling it with
 spellchecking support, and a fix is apparently to use 'Enchant' engine
 instead, however I have the Enchant package, and I still cannot select
 any spellchecker engines from the spellchecker menu.
 
 Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can compile lyx on Redhat
 with spell checking support?
 
 Hi,
 
 you have to provide the developer packages of the spell checker of your
 choice at compile time (of LyX). In case it's enchant you have to configure
 enchant, in case it's hunspell you may provide the path for the dictionary
 files under preferences if they're not found automatically.

Re: Automated PDF creation under windows

[Itai Shaked]

I believe the correct format name to use is the short name, so for
pdflatex it would be
lyx --export pdf2 document.lyx

Look in Tools-Preferences-File Handling-File Formats  to see the short
name for each format.

Re: How to configure plantuml with lyx

[rajender saini]

Thanks Rainer, I am able to generate diagram into lyx master file using the
steps shared by you. Thank you very much.



My master file include the .plantuml file as graphic as suggested by you
and it is working fine.

I wanted to export whole file as PDF so

Next I used inkscape to convert SVG to PDF by adding convertor.

when i run export as PDF image is not included into the master PDF doc.


 I can see the SVG to PDF conversion happening into the temp cache
directory. but somehow it is not included into master file any pointer will
help.

I assume you mean that you can see the .plantuml file as a picture in LyX?
Good to hear. So the .plantuml -> .svg -> .png is working.

The conversion should be done by LyX. AS I said, I use rsvg, and it works
as expected.

Hm - no idea here - if the conversion to a .svg -> .pdf I have no idea why
it is not included. Just make a small example .lyx file and post it here
together with the .plantuml file so that I can try it out if it works here.

Used the default Guest account on the Mac, and it also downloads - over 10

Re: simple algorithm float numbering (1, 2, 3,...)

[Matěj Šmíd]

I found out the solution. Just insert in the Latex Preamble:


\usepackage{chngcntr}

\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}

\counterwithout{equation}{chapter}

\counterwithout{algorithm}{chapter}


and you got simple (1, 2, 3, ...) numbering of figures, equations and
algorithms.


Cheers,

Matej.

Automated PDF creation under windows

[Matthias Weißer]

Hi

I would like to export a lyx file on the command line to a PDF. This 
should be included in a automated process building a bigger software 
package. I tried


Lyx.exe --export pdflatex document.lyx

but nothing happens. I can see that lyx.exe comes up in the background, 
starts some child processes (python.exe) and then it exits after a 
couple of seconds and the PDF isn't created. Exporting the file from the 
editor takes about a minute or so and end successfully.


Even

Lyx.exe -help

doens't produce any output. Lyx version is 2.9

Any hints?

Please note that, as I already wrote, the default Mac OS X behavior is to
open the Finder. This was apparently overridden when installing firefox.

Lyx with spelling dictionary

[Ben Lowe]

Hi,

I'm using redhat 6; I've tried downloading the latest source and
following these steps:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/CreatingLyXRPM#toc3

And also tried creating an RPM package, however the dictionary choice
in preferences > language settings > spellchecker; all options are
greyed out, and I cannot provide a hunspell path under preferences
>paths as this is greyed out. I have relevant hunspell dictionary
files in the ~/.lyx/dicts/ folder and they are named correctly.

This a common issue with linux due to not compiling it with
spellchecking support, and a fix is apparently to use 'Enchant' engine
instead, however I have the Enchant package, and I still cannot select
any spellchecker engines from the spellchecker menu.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can compile lyx on Redhat
with spell checking support?

Many Thanks,

Ben Lowe

Hi,

you have to provide the developer packages of the spell checker of your
choice at compile time (of LyX). In case it's enchant you have to configure
enchant, in case it's hunspell you may provide the path for the dictionary
files under preferences if they're not found automatically.

Stephan

Re: Lyx with spelling dictionary

[Ben Lowe]

Dear Stephan,

Thanks for your quick response. What option do I provide lyx with in
order to compile with enchant/hunspell etc.? I cannot find this
information in the README, INSTALL etc.,

Until I do this, I cannot provide a path for Hunspell as the path
section is greyed out, and I cannot select the Enchant engine.

Sorry for being unclear.

You have to install the developer packages - aka rpms - for
the spell checker of your choice. Something like hunspell-devel-*
for hunspell (I don't know the package name for RedHat and I don't
know either if it exists).

After doing so LyX detects it at configure time and will be build
with hunspell support. This should be mentioned in config.log.

There is no configure option.

Hunspell is not Enchant. Hunspell path is for hunspell spell checker.

I'd recommend using hunspell. I don't know if enchant is usable.

Re: Automated PDF creation under windows

[Itai Shaked]

I believe the correct format name to use is the "short name", so for
pdflatex it would be
lyx --export pdf2 document.lyx

Look in Tools->Preferences->File Handling->File Formats  to see the short
name for each format.
