Re: Convert vector graphics to bitmap

[Christian W]

The document contains a larger number of images. As these are results from 
scientific computations, they contain a large number of details. This allows 
the user to zoom deep into the image when viewing the document on screen. 
However, in the printed version it is obviously not possible to resolve so 
many details. The publisher claims this may result in unexpected appearance 
of the images during the printing process. I am not sure about the technical 
reasons and differences of book printing to regular home printers, but he 
asked me to provide bitmap based graphics instead. 

deleted lyx system directory /usr/share/lyx

[ashutosh vishwa bandhu]

I accidentally deleted my Lyx system directory /usr/share/lyx/ in Ubuntu
11.04. Now, I get the following message when I try to start Lyx

 Unable to determine the system directory having searched /usr/share/lyx/.
Use the '-sysdir' command line parameter or set the environment variable
LYX_DIR_20x to the LyX system directory containing the file
`chkconfig.ltx'. 

Reinstalling Lyx or copying the above folder from other systems is not
helping.

Thanks,

Ashutosh

I find it strange that reinstalling LyX does not create
/usr/share/lyx. Are you sure you did purge and not remove? Can you
please post the output of

sudo apt-get purge lyx  sudo apt-get install lyx

I would normally suggest trying the LyX PPA:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3

But I don't think we support 11.04.

Re: Custom module: inset for mdframed boxes

[Matthieu]

Dear lyx users list

I was wondering whether someone would have any insights for the question 
(see below) I asked a few days ago on this list, regarding help for 
writing a custom module. Maybe I should rather ask on the lyx-devel, 
where people might be more familiar with customising Lyx?


Thanks!

Dear Lyx users list

I would like to use the mdframed package in Lyx, which offers nice 
boxes. In its simplest form, mdframed is just used with (see below for 
reproduciible latex code):


\begin{mdframed}
 A box
\end{mdframed}

Eventually with [frametitle=A title]

I was trying to create a Lyx inset for this, made it somehow, but this 
is a very rough draft, and I would appreciate any help, in particular:

-how to give the new inset a feeling of box? I tried adding:
CopyStyle Box
or:
HTMLStyle
div.Frameless { margin: 1em; }
EndHTMLStyle

as I saw for boxes, but it does not work.

-For the title of the box, the user needs to add herself: frametitle=A 
title Ideally, one would not need to do this... is this avoidable in 
Lyx (make him add automatically frametitle=), or does one need to 
rewrite slightly the environment mdframed?


-More generally, I choose to use it as a custom inset, but could have 
done defining it as a new style.. is this choice sound?

Thanks!!

I had deleted /usr/share/lyx (version 2.0.4) and /usr/share/lyx2.1
corresponding to ppa:lyx-devel/release and ppa:lyx-devel/daily

lyx2lyx script failed to convert the file

[ashutosh vishwa bandhu]

I want to open a lyx file using lyx version 2.0.5 on Ubuntu 11.04. This

open the file I get and error message saying that the file is from a new

Is it possible to open the file using the older version of lyx?

Only if you use 2.0.8 (the last release in the minor series can open
the next major format). You can alternatively copy the lyx2lyx scripts
from 2.0.8 or 2.1.x and use those.

I just change the \lyxformat specifier using a text editor and it 
usually will work.   just open your .lyx file and make the change to see 
if it will open.

This is not a good idea. In an emergency, I suppose it's worth trying, 
but there is a reason the format number changes. With Lyx 2.1.x files, 
for example, if you use any of what used to be called Short Title 
insets, you will get errors.

Footer in Koma letter - \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot

[Charlie]

In:
Debian Jessie
using:
Lyx Version 2.0.6

I wanted to put a horizontal line and beneath it a custom footer, that
has the three elements:

\lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot

So that I can place three different names and address details onto the
first page of the document.

I have googled and I have read custom header and footer documents as
well as .pdf files that tell me a great deal about headers and footers
and even used a footer file that was from the wrong KOMA script or
something and was chastised for attempting to use it by LyX.

Looked through my DIN.lco and every place possible where tweak might
be made. I never realised there were so many LaTeX sites that had
something about footnotes on them.

After futie attempts have had a million error messages and openings that
conflicted when I used fancy instead of default, and on and on.

Tried longtable and multirow, footnotesize and just about everything
that was suggested in all my readings with different parameters and I
have given it best. So I am here again.

The one thing I haven't done, is create my own template to do what I
want rather than use the letter template. In the past I used a template
I made myself, but it was just created from a KOMA article template, and
I think when I discovered the letter template I liked it better? But
can only imagine that's why I changed. Why else?

Anyway it's done my head in, and I realise it's laziness in a way
because eventually, maybe a year from now I'll read something that puts
it all together and I'll be able to do it. Or maybe never and accept
living without it.

But if someone can help me in this it would be truly great.

It's just stubbornness that makes me want to use the template like
this, and a certain amount of ire that I can't find where this type of
footnote for a letter, is documented. Because it's a very popular way to
create a letter. With something like manager, assistant manager and
office address, or president, secretary and treasurer, or similar
and their contact details in the footer of a letter?

It's probably somewhere I have just not thought to look, or under a
heading I haven' associated with a letter.

Thanks in advance,
Charlie

enumitem cloned lists

[S Shieh]

I cloned, to use the terminology of the enumitem package 
documentation section 7, a new itemize list and put it in the LaTeX 
preamble of my Lyx file:



\newlist{emptydisplay}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[emptydisplay]{label={}, itemindent=1em, align=left, labelsep=!}

Now I can use this new itemize list by putting, e.g., the following 
in an ERT box:


\begin{emptydisplay}
\item The inventor of bifocals wrote an autobiography
\item The first post-master general of the US wrote an autobiography
\end{emptydisplay}

Is there a way of making this new list a Lyx style, so I can apply it 
just as I apply Quote, Enumerate-Resume, etc.?  I suspect this might 
involve modifying a layout file, or, even the enumitem module, is 
that right? And if so, are there instructions somewhere for doing this?


Many thanks!
Sanford

deleted lyx system directory /usr/share/lyx

Use the '-sysdir' command line parameter or set the environment variable

Re: Custom module: inset for mdframed boxes

Dear lyx users list

Dear Lyx users list

I would like to use the mdframed package in Lyx, which offers nice

Eventually with [frametitle=A title]

I was trying to create a Lyx inset for this, made it somehow, but this

-how to give the new inset a feeling of box? I tried adding:
CopyStyle Box

as I saw for boxes, but it does not work.

lyx2lyx script failed to convert the file

[ashutosh vishwa bandhu]

I want to open a lyx file using lyx version 2.0.5 on Ubuntu 11.04. This
file was created using lyx version 2.1.0-1 on Ubuntu 14.04. When I try to
open the file I get and error message saying that the file is from a new
version of Lyx and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.

Is it possible to open the file using the older version of lyx?

Only if you use 2.0.8 (the last release in the minor series can open
the next major format). You can alternatively copy the lyx2lyx scripts
from 2.0.8 or 2.1.x and use those.

I just change the \lyxformat specifier using a text editor and it 
usually will work.   just open your .lyx file and make the change to see 
if it will open.

This is not a good idea. In an emergency, I suppose it's worth trying, 
but there is a reason the format number changes. With Lyx 2.1.x files, 
for example, if you use any of what used to be called Short Title 
insets, you will get errors.

Footer in Koma letter - \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot

[Charlie]

In:
Debian Jessie
using:
Lyx Version 2.0.6

I wanted to put a horizontal line and beneath it a custom footer, that
has the three elements:

\lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot

So that I can place three different names and address details onto the
first page of the document.

I have googled and I have read custom header and footer documents as
well as .pdf files that tell me a great deal about headers and footers
and even used a footer file that was from the wrong KOMA script or
something and was chastised for attempting to use it by LyX.

Looked through my DIN.lco and every place possible where tweak might
be made. I never realised there were so many LaTeX sites that had
something about footnotes on them.

After futie attempts have had a million error messages and openings that
conflicted when I used fancy instead of default, and on and on.

Tried longtable and multirow, footnotesize and just about everything
that was suggested in all my readings with different parameters and I
have given it best. So I am here again.

The one thing I haven't done, is create my own template to do what I
want rather than use the letter template. In the past I used a template
I made myself, but it was just created from a KOMA article template, and
I think when I discovered the letter template I liked it better? But
can only imagine that's why I changed. Why else?

Anyway it's done my head in, and I realise it's laziness in a way
because eventually, maybe a year from now I'll read something that puts
it all together and I'll be able to do it. Or maybe never and accept
living without it.

But if someone can help me in this it would be truly great.

It's just stubbornness that makes me want to use the template like
this, and a certain amount of ire that I can't find where this type of
footnote for a letter, is documented. Because it's a very popular way to
create a letter. With something like manager, assistant manager and
office address, or president, secretary and treasurer, or similar
and their contact details in the footer of a letter?

It's probably somewhere I have just not thought to look, or under a
heading I haven' associated with a letter.

Thanks in advance,
Charlie

enumitem cloned lists

[S Shieh]

I cloned, to use the terminology of the enumitem package 
documentation section 7, a new itemize list and put it in the LaTeX 
preamble of my Lyx file:



\newlist{emptydisplay}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[emptydisplay]{label={}, itemindent=1em, align=left, labelsep=!}

Now I can use this new itemize list by putting, e.g., the following 
in an ERT box:


\begin{emptydisplay}
\item The inventor of bifocals wrote an autobiography
\item The first post-master general of the US wrote an autobiography
\end{emptydisplay}

Is there a way of making this new list a Lyx style, so I can apply it 
just as I apply Quote, Enumerate-Resume, etc.?  I suspect this might 
involve modifying a layout file, or, even the enumitem module, is 
that right? And if so, are there instructions somewhere for doing this?


Many thanks!
Sanford

Re: Convert vector graphics to bitmap

[Christian W]

The document contains a larger number of images. As these are results from 
scientific computations, they contain a large number of details. This allows 
the user to zoom deep into the image when viewing the document on screen. 
However, in the printed version it is obviously not possible to resolve so 
many details. The publisher claims this may result in unexpected appearance 
of the images during the printing process. I am not sure about the technical 
reasons and differences of book printing to regular home printers, but he 
asked me to provide bitmap based graphics instead. 

deleted lyx system directory /usr/share/lyx

[ashutosh vishwa bandhu]

I accidentally deleted my Lyx system directory /usr/share/lyx/ in Ubuntu
11.04. Now, I get the following message when I try to start Lyx

" Unable to determine the system directory having searched /usr/share/lyx/.
Use the '-sysdir' command line parameter or set the environment variable
LYX_DIR_20x to the LyX system directory containing the file
`chkconfig.ltx'. "

Reinstalling Lyx or copying the above folder from other systems is not
helping.

Thanks,

I find it strange that reinstalling LyX does not create
/usr/share/lyx. Are you sure you did purge and not remove? Can you
please post the output of

sudo apt-get purge lyx && sudo apt-get install lyx

I would normally suggest trying the LyX PPA:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3

But I don't think we support 11.04.

I had deleted /usr/share/lyx (version 2.0.4) and /usr/share/lyx2.1
corresponding to ppa:lyx-devel/release and ppa:lyx-devel/daily
respectively.  Just now I installed lyx1.6 which I believe must be the
original version in the Ubuntu repository. It is working fine and a folder
/usr/share/lyx1.6 is has also been created.

For info: This one is from the PPA (NOT the official Ubuntu repos),
and it corresponds to a rather older release of LyX. You may be
happier installing 2.0.x.

lyx2lyx script failed to convert the file

[ashutosh vishwa bandhu]

I want to open a lyx file using lyx version 2.0.5 on Ubuntu 11.04. This
file was created using lyx version 2.1.0-1 on Ubuntu 14.04. When I try to
open the file I get and error message saying that the file is from a new
version of Lyx and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.

Is it possible to open the file using the older version of lyx?

Thanks,

Ashutosh

Only if you use 2.0.8 (the last release in the minor series can open
the next major format). You can alternatively copy the lyx2lyx scripts
from 2.0.8 or 2.1.x and use those.

Is it possible to open the file using the older version of lyx?
I just change the \lyxformat specifier using a text editor and it 
usually will work.   just open your .lyx file and make the change to see 
if it will open.

This is not a good idea. In an emergency, I suppose it's worth trying, 
but there is a reason the format number changes. With Lyx 2.1.x files, 
for example, if you use any of what used to be called "Short Title" 
insets, you will get errors.

Footer in Koma letter - \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot

[Charlie]

In:
Debian Jessie
using:
Lyx Version 2.0.6

I wanted to put a horizontal line and beneath it a custom footer, that
has the three elements:

\lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot

So that I can place three different names and address details onto the
first page of the document.

I have googled and I have read custom header and footer documents as
well as .pdf files that tell me a great deal about headers and footers
and even used a footer file that was from the wrong KOMA script or
something and was chastised for attempting to use it by LyX.

Looked through my DIN.lco and every place possible where tweak might
be made. I never realised there were so many LaTeX sites that had
something about footnotes on them.

After futie attempts have had a million error messages and openings that
conflicted when I used "fancy" instead of default, and on and on.

Tried longtable and multirow, footnotesize and just about everything
that was suggested in all my readings with different parameters and I
have given it best. So I am here again.

The one thing I haven't done, is create my own template to do what I
want rather than use the letter template. In the past I used a template
I made myself, but it was just created from a KOMA article template, and
I think when I discovered the letter template I liked it better? But
can only imagine that's why I changed. Why else?

Anyway it's done my head in, and I realise it's laziness in a way
because eventually, maybe a year from now I'll read something that puts
it all together and I'll be able to do it. Or maybe never and accept
living without it.

But if someone can help me in this it would be truly great.

It's just stubbornness that makes me want to use the template like
this, and a certain amount of ire that I can't find where this type of
footnote for a letter, is documented. Because it's a very popular way to
create a letter. With something like manager, assistant manager and
office address, or president, secretary and treasurer, or similar
and their contact details in the footer of a letter?

It's probably somewhere I have just not thought to look, or under a
heading I haven' associated with a letter.

Thanks in advance,
Charlie

enumitem cloned lists

[S Shieh]

I "cloned," to use the terminology of the enumitem package 
documentation section 7, a new itemize list and put it in the LaTeX 
preamble of my Lyx file:



\newlist{emptydisplay}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[emptydisplay]{label={}, itemindent=1em, align=left, labelsep=!}

Now I can use this new itemize list by putting, e.g., the following 
in an ERT box:


\begin{emptydisplay}
\item The inventor of bifocals wrote an autobiography
\item The first post-master general of the US wrote an autobiography
\end{emptydisplay}

Is there a way of making this new list a Lyx style, so I can apply it 
just as I apply Quote, Enumerate-Resume, etc.?  I suspect this might 
involve modifying a layout file, or, even the enumitem module, is 
that right? And if so, are there instructions somewhere for doing this?


Many thanks!
Sanford
