pdf graphics don't display in lyx 1.6.2

2009-05-05 Thread Brian Guenter
If I create a figure float and insert a pdf graphic in it using lyx 1.6.2 I 
consistently get an error message saying it can't convert the file to a 
loadable format. The graphic prints fine but it doesn't show up in the Lyx 
editor.

In Lyx 1.6.1 the same pdf file loads and displays in Lyx with no problem. How 
can I fix this?

I'm running Windows XP service pack 3.

LyX didn't yet have a layout file for acmsiggraph, but I now created one. You

I followed the instructions on http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSiggraph: 
downloaded the latest acmsiggraph latex files and installed them in Miktex, and 
copied the acmsiggraph.layout file into the lyx layouts direct, ran reconfigure.

Now a new document class shows up article (ACM SIGGRAPH). When I set this as 
my document type and try to view the output, using either pdf or dvi, I get the 
following latex error messages:

Errors:

Undefined control sequence.

Undefined control sequence.
You can't use '\relax' after \the

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., '\hobx'), type 'I' and the correct
speelling (e.g., 'I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was defined.




No pdf or dvi file ever gets generated.

If I use the article document class then everything works fine, including the 
bibliography. Of course then it's not in the format I want.

using ACM SIGGRAPH layout

2008-11-19 Thread Brian Guenter
I am using lyx version 1.6 on Windows XP. I want to use the ACM SIGGRAPH 
document class. It shows up in the drop-down menu for document classes but it's 
listed like this:  Unavailable:ACM SigGraph. This looked ominous but I 
selected it anyway and got the following error message: the document class 
acmsiggraph could not be loaded.

What does this mean? How does lyx determine which document classes are 
available and which aren't? It seems strange that it would know this document 
class existed but would not allow me to choose it. Is there some easy way to 
make it available?

suppressing captions in some floats

2008-05-23 Thread Brian Guenter
I want to insert program listings into my document. I don't want the program 
listings to be broken across pages so I put them inside figures. Now each 
program listing has a figure label and number which I don't want.  Is there 
some way for me to insert these listings inside a float and suppress the 
caption printing of just that float?

marginal notes not formatting correctly

I am using Lyx version 1.5.4 on windows XP with pdflatex for output.  When I 
insert marginal notes into my document they do not format properly - the text 
in the marginal note runs off the bottom of the page instead of wrapping around 
to the next page.  Also the text portion of the marginal note doesn't seem to 
be using all of the available margin space.  Is this something that I can 
change or is it hardcoded?

Is this the way marginal notes are supposed to work?  Is there something I can 
do to prevent this from happening?

new lines disappearing in program listings

2008-03-04 Thread Brian Guenter
I'm new to Lyx and I'm hoping that the problems I'm encountering are just due 
to my ignorance.  I have a large existing code base in my development 
environment which I am going to be copying into my Lyx document as program 
listings.  I had an existing Latex document with program listings in it using 
the lstlisting environment. When I imported this document into Lyx all of the 
newlines in the program listings disappeared.

Similarly, if I copy code from my development environment (Visual Studio 2008) 
and paste it into a program listing block in Lyx all of the newlines are 
discarded.  If I have a properly formatted program listing, with newlines,  in 
a Lyx document and I export the Lyx document to a Latex file and then import 
the Latex file back into Lyx all of the newlines in program listing blocks 
disappear.

It's terribly inconvenient and time-consuming to have to reinsert all of the 
newlines by hand and retyping the code in Lyx is also an unattractive option 
because I have so much of it and because this will certainly introduce 
transcription errors.

Is this newline deletion a bug or is there something I can set to prevent the 
newlines from disappearing?
