However Inkscape does it correctly as you found out. The default converter for svg in lyx in rsvg-convert, hence the issue.

In regard to the ams multiline, when I use it in the two column format my equations then get rather messed up. The first half of the equation is left justified while the second half is right justified. The whole equation (both parts) should be centered (exactly how it looks in LyX when in math mode). I have tried to set the justification to center but it appears to have no effect. See my new minimal example. -Steve minimal_extended-AMS.lyx Description: Binary data
Re: rsvg-convert, incorrect alignment
Hello Rajil, For the command line there might be two more opportunities (untested!): a. If you have Inkscape installed, you can use the convert command. b. ImageMagick is also likely to go. Source: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=23820 (However, it's about the conversion from SVG to JPG, not SVG to PDF.) Best regards Marcus -- PMs to: m.gloe...@gmx.de

Re: gantt
Dear Patrick, just I have take a look at the documentation of pgfgantt (http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/pgfgantt/pgfgantt.pdf). If you mastered the package and you can live with the ERT produced, then there is nothing to be said against it that you can use it. Otherwise do it so, as I have described: using an external application to make the Gantt chart, generating therefrom an image and embed the image into LyX.

rsvg-convert, incorrect alignment
Hello, I tried to align the text in Inkscape and created an svg file (files attached). Unfortunately, rsvg-convert seems to mess up the converted pdf. I guess this is a bug in rsvg-convert. Anybody else seen this before? Thanks, Rajil image.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document

Re: gantt
Dear Patrick, you can embedding a Gantt chart into a LyX document just like any other chart too. That is: Create you your Gantt chart, your network planning chart or whatever you want to have with any program with which you want. Then you make a picture of it, if possible in a vector graphics format. If you are using latex as compiler, EPS is recommended as a graphic format, when you use pdflatex or xelatex, rather PDF. In LyX then you create a float using Insert -> Floats -> Picture, give the image a name by caption, adding a label and place here via Insert -> Graphics your EPS or PDF file (the Gantt chart). The question of how you can embedding a Gantt Chart in LyX, so offers no difficulties. More interesting is the question of how you create it. In my opinion it's not a good idea to take easy the Gantt chart from MS Project or ProjectLibre, because it looks not not like pretty. At the moment I use Harvard Chart XL 3.0 to create the Gantt chart as such and Inkscape to add shortcut arrows and milestones. Best regards Marcus -- PMs to: m.gloe...@gmx.de
Re: gantt
HI Patrick, I don't understand the question. Are you trying to import a gantt chart produced by project management software or create a gantt chart within LyX or LaTeX? 2015-12-04 11:29 GMT-05:00 Patrick Dupre : > Hello, > > Is there a tool to make gantt diagram compatible with lyx? > > Thank > > === > Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdu...@gmx.com > Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | > Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | > Tel.

Re: threeparttablex with longtable
Hi Tyler
As Jacob also mentioned we really need to see an actual example of what you
are trying to do. Here is a discussion on how to approach the task :
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample
On the other hand, given all the coding you already have done, I'd suggest
doing the whole thing in LaTeX, that is, just stay in the ERT environment.
I have never found LyX tables that easy to fill in---nice to work with
otherwise but in terms of data entry, meh, not a lot easier than raw LaTeX.
See a example I stole from somewhere on the web and slightly adapted a
while ago. It is attached below.
