Math tool bar doesnt apear automaticaly?

[micha]

Dear LyX-Team,

somwhow the Math-toolbar isn't apearing automatically anymore in my 
installation? I've tried out many steps, but it seems it stoped working. 
I have to open the toolbar manual every time I type a math formula or I 
have to leave it open all the time.


If I open view-toolbars from the menubar it shows Math (automatic), 
also for the tables and so on. Notice, it worked in the beginning. But 
after I had to reinstall LyX since it had problems converting Images in 
a viewable format?? it stopped working. I used the complete installer 
for installation.


Thanks for help.

Best regards,

Micha Schäfer

width of undersets

[Micha]

How do I get undersets not to make the spacing of the equation wrong when the 
width of the underset is wider than the equation?


doing $a+\underset{description}{underbrace{b}}+c$ comes out as
a+  b  +c
}
   description

instead of

   a+b+c
 }
description

thanks

I suspect what you want is the following (in a math inset):

1. type \underset (space);
2. in the upper box of the inset, type \underbrace (space);
3. enter the formula in the innermost inset;
4. enter the description in the bottom space.

/Paul



That is what I'm doing, the problem is that the spacing is all wrong. The reply 
ruined the spaces so I'll use underscores instead. Using your method I get


a + _ b __ + c
_ }
_ description

While what I want is

a + b + c
___ }
description

here, _ are spaces and } denotes the underbrace (which is supposed to be only 
under b)


I remember seeing a solution a couple of years back or so on this list so I know 
it's possible, but can't find it anymore.

Putting the underbrace under just the b is easy. If 'b' is replaced by a
sufficiently long expression, the brace will stretch to the width of the
expression, but if 'b' is literally one character, the brace will be
wider than b. Are you asking how to make the brace narrower? I don't
know if that can be done.

If you're doing what I wrote before (but with the brace only under b)
and there's extra space surrounding b that annoys you, I suspect it's
from the brace, not from the description.

As a side note, I noticed that when putting the brace under b only,
sometimes the space between + and c was short-changed. That can be
corrected by inserting space manually.

/Paul


The behavior is to expand the whole block of b, underbrace and description to 
the width of the block. The brace is as wide as b, not as wide as the 
description (I'm actually using an arrow in this case, but it doesn't matter), 
my problem is with the bock width, not the brace width.


I ended up inserting negative vspace, although I seem to recall that there was a 
more correct solution to the problem.

Sounds to me like you didn't have the aspell development libraries (or other
spell developement libraries) when configuring. I also had that problem under
linux (debian). I installed libaspell-dev and now spelling is working. Not sure
what the right package is under OsX or how to install it though.

Re: Suppressing page numbers in lyx 1.6.5

[Micha]

I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but in some case the  
pagestyle is ignores for the first page


Try at the start of the document to add in evil red text (Tex code)  
\thispagestyle{empty} (I hope I haven't miss spelled this)

You're doing it correctly, and it should work (works fine for me

might try View  View Source, click the option for complete source,  
and verify
that \pagestyle{empty} shows up early in the LaTeX code. Other than  
that, is
there anything funky in your preamble that might be overriding the  
page style

command?

Re: Spell checker

[Micha Feigin]

I initially had the same problem on linux. If I recall correctly, when I
compiled lyx 2 for the first time I didn't have the aspell development files
installed (libaspell-dev package under debian) so the configuration run didn't
find it and compiled lyx without aspell support.

I later installed it and recompiled but I also had to delete the .lyx-2.0 user
directory and let lyx reconfigure for it to enable spell support. A simple
reconfigure wasn't enough.

I am seeing two small problems with the inline spell checker though
1. It's leaving around some of the red wigly lines, they are not fully cleaned
up properly when not needed any more
2. It won't work inside some of the inset (lyx note comes to mind, don't recall
about others) as it's popping up the inset menu instead of the spell menu. The
two menus should be combined

pgf shapes.arrows and connecting two points

[Micha]

This is more latex than lyx but I was hoping someone here knows the answer

I'm trying to see if it's possible to connect two points on the graph with the 
pgf fancy arrows from the shape library. That is

\node at (1,1) [double arrow, fill, color=green!70!black] {arrow};

I managed to put an arrow at a point (1,1 at the previous example) but I don't 
see how to get each end to rest at a give point (I need a path and not a point). 
Is it even possible, and if so, is it possible to do it with 90 degree bends? i.e

how to get text effects in beamer (3d, shadow)

[Micha]

I'm trying to port a powerpoint presentation to lyx with beamer. The one problem 
I ran into is reproducing a 3d text effect similar to

http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~michf/example.jpg
I found a package that does the shadow (and some mirror and other effects in 
tik-z) but could find anything that can do highlights on text to get the 3d effects.
I even tried downloading a font creation tool and create a new font with these 
glyphs instead of producing the effect, but it seems that fonts can only contain 
b/w bitmaps as far as I can tell and no highlight effects


Is there anything that can do that in lyx/beamer/latex?

Thanks

Not sure if that is acceptable to you, but imagemagick can easily create
such drawings for you.

See e.g. http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/

If it's possible to call it from inside latex then it's a good solution. I want 
to create a beamer theme that takes the slide header and typesets the text with 
a 3d effect, so I need something that works as a latex package and commands.


I've also looked into asymptote, but don't see anything that seems to be able to 
do the job either ...

I've gotten close by using \write18 to create the image to include. Still not 
ideal as I'm not sure about getting a two line title but that is minor.

The question remains now of how to achieve the 3d effect with an external 
program so that I get the text image to include. Got the shadow rather easily 
but can't manage to get the highlights for the text. Any idea? (gotten close 
with gimp but I don't know how to automate it, still far away with convert)

It's still only tested with straight latex, will see how to handle \write18 
from within lyx later on

bevel and shadow effects for beamer

[Micha Feigin]

I'm trying to port a powerpoint presentation to beamer, but it has to mostly
mimic the original design. I'm done most things, the only thing I can't figure
out if it's even possible is to get a 3d effect on slide title fonts (bevel +
shadow). Is there a way to do it with beamer?

I found the outline package or fontspec + xetex for shadows and such, but I
can't get the bevel effect (inner shadow and highlight to get the 3d effect).

thanks

I found the outline package or fontspec + xetex for shadows and such, but I
can't get the bevel effect (inner shadow and highlight to get the 3d effect).

thanks

Not true. You just need the fragile frame option, which does not work with
\lyxframe.

See my previous post.

Or you can insert the listing as an external material (from an external file 
instead of copying it into the presentation) and then you don't need the fragile 
part.

generating {|} in math mode

[Micha Feigin]

how do I generate a group definition such as
{ x | x  0 }
with variable height braces? I can create the outside braces using left\{ and 
right\} (or matching braces from the braces menu) but the central one doesn't 
fit it, and if I add a | with a matching empty left or right element the sizes 
don't match

There is also a beamer template, try doing

Program listings with beamer probelm

[Micha Feigin]

Hello,

I'm trying ot include a program listing in a beamer presentation. Using just
the simple insert-program listing fails to compile with an error
Paragraph ended before \...@next was complete.
If I set the listing to inline, compilation works but the listing is completely
messed up (lines are in the wrong order, some line breaks are missing ...).
Inserting a listing from file (insert-file-child document-program listing)
works, but is very annoying for short ones

Any way to solve this?

thanks

Seems from a thread I found that I need to somehow add fragile to the frame but I can't

 If not, then what's the big deal of giving different names (as one

The whole idea behind article and presentation mode beamer is that you can have
both versions in the same file. I find it more useful for printed slides vs.
presented slides though then article and presentation in the same file.

The OP's question though I don't know how to answer, I have the same problem

 You can convert the document that you want to include to PDF. Then you can 
 insert it via PDFpages, 
 see sec. 6.1 of the EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in LyX's Help menu.

for text files you can also probably abuse the listing package to include an

 There's one problem, though: As XeTeX must run through the xelatex, which is 
 a different lyx file format, the preview PDF button does not work anymore 
 (exporting using pdflatex gives an error, as you need to export using 
 xelatex). What is the best/quickest/working way to get the preview/update

 Thanks in advance for your help!

It's a dirty hack that would work only if you always want to use xetex instead

change the converter from pdflatex to xetex

 Hi!
 
 I'm trying to use LyX together with Xetex and thanks to strangers on the

 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX so that it might work for other people, too. 
 
 There's one problem, though: As XeTeX must run through the xelatex, which is 
 a different lyx file format, the preview PDF button does not work anymore 
 (exporting using pdflatex gives an error, as you need to export using 
 xelatex). What is the best/quickest/working way to get the preview/update 
 PDF buttons to export using XeTeX instead of pdflatex? (optimally, this 
 would be a document setting).
 
 Thanks in advance for your help!

It's a dirty hack that would work only if you always want to use xetex instead
of pdflatex. You can go into preferences-converters-Latex(pdflatex) and
change the converter from pdflatex to xetex

RE: collecting items

[Micha Feigin]

If it's lyx or latex documents you can just copy and paste. Lyx will work as
is. Latex math you need to either paste into an existing math block or paste
as normal text, then select the math parts and press Ctrl-M to create a math
block of the text.

If it's openoffice it may be possible to export to latex first and then
possibly import it into lyx (don't know how well the math export works).

If it's word or pdf you are probably stuck with rewriting the equations

 How would I be able to do this in lyx?  (lyx inserts \lyxframe to start a 
 beamer frame)
 
 

You need to insert a new frame and the at the begining of the frame title
insert an ert with [fragile]. Not as the next line but as the beginning of the
frame title.

Another solution is to insert the listing from a file. That works with no issues

Doesn't seem like the \begin{frame}[fragile] solution works, tried it in ert
completely and it still didn't work. My solution was to write the listings in a
text file and include it. A bit more cumbersome but it wokrs

Re: Why does lyx use it's own keyboard instead of the systems?

 Before you rush into this change - Consider the following usecase:
 Switching to math - When I'm in math-mode, I always want my keyboard layout
 to be English. While In windows, The current keyboard layout override the
 global one (If you put the cursor in an Hebrew context, the language will
 switch to Hebrew, If you put your cursor in English context - you'll write
 in English).
 When I'm writing document, I want the Ctrl+m will be the only thing I need
 to do in order to start typing math. Ctrl-m Alt-Shift Is match to
 expensive..
 

good point, but you also have two input senarios in math.
1. Entering parameters (regular typing). AFAIK it should always be in english
because I don't think that latex can handle anything else
2. in text mode inside math mode, where you want to be able to type both
(although at the moment it requires explicitly entering the \R{} macro to get
hebrew in there

Does everyone agree on the first point and are you willing to manually change
in the second case or do you want some other behviour?

 So - If LyX will use the native-system-keyboard-layout - It will have to be
 able to change it depending the current context (Math\Regular) - And in
 every OS.

   There are two issues. For running the dictionary you need to know  the
  language.
  For hebrew and arabic it's another issue, you need to know the  system
  language
  so that you know directionality. Hebrew is right to left. For  hebrew
  characters
  it may be easy to decide, for what about spaces and numbers? For  these
  we need
  to know the system keyboard language and not guess it from the
   character.
 
  Under windows I know it's possible since for example word does it.
   Question is
  whether this is possible to know under linux (I guess so since  there
  are panel
  applets that show the language). Which again comes down to the  question
  whether
  there is a technical issue why to work this way or not.
 
  So you want to change language when the keyboard layout is changed at
   system level, right?
  I never thought of these layouts as indicators of the actual  language.
  If Qt gives us
  this information, we should be able to do it.

  For every other program the system language is used for input (alt-shift
  in my
  case). So for example when writing mail or using oowriter I change the
  system
  language to change input. Lyx is the only exeption where I __have__ to
  keep the
  system language for english and bind (f12 in this case) to language
  hebrew. It
  makes things incosistent and non-intuitive, esspecially for new users.
 
 
  I agree. For RTL languages, it makes a lot of sense to change the current
  language together with the system. Advanced users wishing to change the
  language independently should be able to disable this feature though.
 
  Now, you have to find someone willing to implement this feature ;-)
 
  FYI, a year or two ago I advocated that the text direction should be based
  uniquely on the encoding, independently of the language settings, like Qt
  does. But I failed to convince other developers.
 
  Dov, are you reading this? ;-)
