Well, i have produced a document with 8 pictures. Pictures are properly displayed, as the document is open, but they are stored as separate .eps files in the file system, each tagged by a distinct file name. As i need to copy or send that lyx doc, i have to remember what are the names of those 8 pictures, then copy or send 9 files. Sending one file, including text and pictures, would be easier and safe. Then, just export your document as pdf. All pictures will be included in the pdf file. Or are you thinking about the lyx file itself plus the eps files? Paul

The looks are the same, but it improved a lot, specially about the combined
export (pdf available)
and the libraries.
And the combined export solves one of the main drawbacks, that is to insert
type3 fonts in the
document through the selected fonts in xfig: the textual part of the document
can be written
with the document fonts, not the LyX fonts (and latex math is understood).
For example, if I select the component/interface diagram of the UML library
and select the special flag for the "Component" word, it will be exported as
\begin{picture}(3948,)(3205,-4837)
\put(3926,-4353){\makebox(0,0)[lb]{\smash{{\SetFigFont{12}{14.4}{\sfdefault}{\mddefault}
{\updefault}{\color[rgb]{0,0,0}Component}%
\end{picture}%
As you may see, it uses document defaults, the size, family, series, and shape
only being extracted from
the font selected in xfig.

Not in LyX, due to the great work of the developers to make graphic conversions
transparent, so that compilation with latex or pdflatex is equivalent.
But in fact eps belongs to latex and png to pdflatex, and it's
an exclusive or.
Personnally, I compile in latex when there are a lot of figures,
because dvi does not load the figures (latex needs only the bounding box)
and is thus faster, I compile with pdflatex when there are many
screenshots.
Inkscape seems particularly apt to produce flowcharts, as it has got
the 'connectors' features, making the arrows connected even when one
moves the connected frames. And it can save the pictures as vectorial
eps, pdf, and so on.

Inkscape looks pretty nice, but unless I'm missing something, it does not support embedded LaTeX commands (and in particular math formulas)? That is true that it does not support embedded LaTeX commands in general, but one can virtually insert anything LaTeX can output (math formulas included) by converting from eps to svg (the Inkscape's format). The final picture (with the math formulas inserted) looks great and it is vectorial, scalable. Paul

(A screenshot >>is attached.) My point was not about quality od the output, but about adaptation do document fonts. However, what I did was to export tp eps (to get a vector graphics eps) and then to run pdflatex on the lyx file (which in turn runs epstopdf of the vector graphics eps to get a vector graphic pdf). Direct export from svg to pdf does nor crop the figure, otherwise I would have tried direct export to pdf. Looking closer to the eps file, it is a set of GS command to draw the formula: no fonts in it, nor of course in the converted pdf file: -> pdffonts integral.pdf name type emb sub uni object ID --- --- --- - Thus it seems that Inkscape draws the formula in vector graphics. I use Inkscape 0.43 (Nov 30 2005) Maybe a more recent versioon does a better job with eps and pdf exports ? It is correct your guess: Inkscape draws the formula in vector graphics. You can export a cropped pdf picture directly from Inkscape: fit page to selection in Document Properties. However, my svg picture is already cropped; so, you just need to save it as pdf. Anyway, it is true that formulas are drawn, but it does not really matter, in my opinion, as you can always change the fonts with which LaTeX draws the eps formulas. Paul

You > will not notice any difference if you use acroread. (A screenshot is > attached.) All, I'm sorry that my request for vector drawing suggestions raised testosterone levels so high. That was not my intent. The point that _I_ think is important is the number of choices available to those of us who work in a F/OSS environment. It doesn't matter one bit -- at least to me -- what approach is used; they all work and each of us is comfortable using a different application to reach the same end point. Heck, I got excellent LaTeX fonts in my Tgif figures, too. I think the count of vector drawing applications (point-and-shoot, coding, whatever) is about 18. This does not include data plotting applications (of which I know of about a half-dozen). Those stuck behind closed Windows should appreciate that we have a plethora of choices, not the only one that comes out of Redmond. As this thread illustrates so well, each choice has its following who are passionate that their comfortable way is The One True Way. The same response of "Oh, yeah? Let's put 'em on the bar and see who's bigger" used to regularly occur on the local linux/UNIX user group's mail list. Someone would ask how to accomplish a task and within a few hours solutions were presented as: bash shell scripts, grep, perl, python, ruby, lisp, sed/awk, and so on. IMNSHO, the major point is that we have multiple ways of accomplishing the same tasks and reaching the same goals. In the end -- on paper or projected on a screen -- they all work. None is better or worse, they're just all different. Is it Emacs or Vi? Xfce, Gnome, or KDE? One of the 200+ distributions? Who really cares? Perhaps some, but not me. You're both correct, and I am grateful to learn from both of you how you use your tool of choice. Thank you very much for that. Maybe, Rich misunderstood me. I did not mean to be defending Inkscape against Xfig (or any other program). My only intent was to illustrate, to the public of this list, the possibilities of Inkscape, specially regarding the insertion of math formulas. I am not enough literate regarding drawing programs to be able of judging one better than the other one. Paul

I tried it out and it seems that convert is converting through a bitmap stage because the wmf (as far as I know a vector format) looks more like a bitmap then a vector representation.

interprate the headings as text : "N° 1 b, (p.6)."
"Book AMS" was selected because chapter and section format are centered and
not on the left side like in Book.

Just for the record, getting the xcolor package was a matter of emerging
dev-tex/xcolor on my Gentoo and then in the preamble I wrote:
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{green}{RGB}{0, 180, 0}
\definecolor{cyan}{RGB}{0, 180, 180}
\definecolor{yellow}{RGB}{211,211,0}
which was very nice because I could still work using LyX's nice way to sent a
font color (no ERT) and get the colors I wanted (which were just a bit darker
than the originals).
Do you think that I should write this on some wiki for others to have it ?
Yes, I think it is worthy to mention that procedure in LyX Wiki. As a
side comment, notice that you could have installed the package xcolor
directly from CTAN.

Problem with including a gnuplot picture
Dear All
As ERT, I have the following line in a LyX document:
\include{mypicture}
in order to include an epslatex picture drawn with Gnuplot. When
compiling the LyX document with pdflatex, I get the error message that
follows:
loading : Context Support Macros / PDF (2004.03.26)
) (./grafico.tex
! LaTeX Error: File `/home/psmith/Desktop/mypicture' not found.
There is no problem with 'View -> DVI'.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Probably mypicture.eps exists, but mypicture.pdf is missing. If you include
mypicture.eps with the graphics inset LyX will create the pdf version for
you. Or write an external template for gnuplot. I am actually surprised
that nobody did that yet.
Yes, Georg, you are right: mypicture.pdf was missing. If I previously
create the pdf file with
epstopdf mypicture.eps
then the problem is removed. Should I report that in bugzilla?

LyX can't know that it should create a file, since it knows nothing about the contents of ERT boxes. As I wrote: Use the graphics inset if you want automatic image conversion. I understand your point, Georg, however I do not see any way to insert epslatex pictures generated by Gnuplot but using ERT. If ERT is the only way left, then it seems that LyX should add a simpler and automatic way, likewise it already does with xfig figures. Paul

I don't understand. Inserting gnuplot figures with the graphics inset works
perfectly for me, and it is equivalent to what you did with ERT +
automatic conversion.
Of course you need to include the generated .eps file, not the original
gnuplot file, so it is not as comfortable as with xfig, but still better
than ERT.
The problem is that the format epslatex separates the picture into two
files: one with the LaTeX commands and the other one being an eps file
with the picture itself. Thus, by inserting only the eps file, one
misses the LaTeX content. The command
\include{mypicture}
given as ERT is recognized as, in truth, including two files:
mypicture.tex and mypicture.eps. Therefore, the graphics inset (of
LyX) seems to be useless here. Just try it to see exactly what I mean.

Sorry, I remembered you had \includegraphics in your ERT. Then indeed you
need an external inset for gnuplot. Unfortunately such an inset cannot be
part of the official LyX sources, since gnuplot has a shell command that
lets you enter arbitrary commands in a gnuplot script. If LyX had an
official gnuplot template then somebody could send you a file with a
malicious gnuplot script that would delete all your files - welcome to the
world of LyX macro viruses.
If I am correct, there is a way to escape to that security threat: do
not call Gnuplot inside LyX, and allow LyX to insert the two files
(eps+tex) without ERT (and with previewing the picture in LyX). It is
not a solution as great as the one implemented for Xfig pictures, but,
even so, it is much better than ERT.

Re: External Xfig inset conversion fails
On 9/13/06, Jean-Pierre Chretien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: External insets conversions works well for me and not for colleagues (LyX complained about the pstex_t file not found in the document dir). It seems that this comes from the fact that I launch LyX from a command shell while others launch from the file manager (I created an association between the file type and the application on the Solaris application server). I can reproduce it by launching from a mail attachment. Is this an explanation, and is this behaviour known ? I see nothing in bugzilla. LyX-1.4.2-qt/Solaris I do not use Solaris, but something similar to what you describe occurs if I try to insert the *.pstex and not the *.fig file itself.

Graphichs conversions may be all you need you can convert to: .eps for processing with latex .png for displaying in lyx .pdf for processing with pdflatex A sophisticated export script is not a problem, these converters can be as complicated as you like. The external inset is nice in that it allows: * Specifying an editor for the format, you can click on an xfig inset to edit it. This may be useful for svg stuff. * More complicated ways of including the output, i.e. .fig is converted to a .eps and a .pstex_t, which are included using more complicated latex commands. There is something that may be relevant: it is possible to convert from SVG to Xfig format with pstoedit. With this approach, we can then edit the Xfig picture and edit the text with the special flag on, getting at last the text of the picture written with the default LaTeX font of the document. Paul

No, but you can open your Xfig file with a text editor, and then you just replace, e.g., 'x' with '$x^2$' to get a math mode squared x. Alternatively, you can insert '$x^2$' directly in Inkscape, when you are drawing your picture. That is simple, I think. Paul

If you have such a great tool, just use it :-) To be precise, when you copy a formula from LyX to a text editor, the latex code of the formula is pasted. And from a text editor, you can copy the code of your formula into Inkscape. Paul

Managing formulas in images to match the ones in the main document is always more work i think. Another question: pstoedit converts .eps files to editable formats such as .fig, am i right? wouldn't there be a direct way to convert .svg to .fig? then we could circumvent inkscapes (not so good) .svg to .eps conversion. (even if i look forward that it will grow better) another idea: inkscape is in heavy development - maybe those special flags (i still don't know what these exactly are) can be included there without having to use intermediate file formats. pstoedit does need an postscript file.

It is not essential to use dvips with psfrag: use package pst-pdf and then the script ps4pdf (which uses pdflatex). You can configure LyX to have "View -> PS4PDF" to call ps4pdf from inside LyX. Paul
Re: Inkscape SVG and LyX
Since EPS pictures can be inserted into LyX through Xfig and pstoedit, I think LyX could progress by adding the possibility of having, automatically, all text in the picture marked with the special flag. I am not a programmer, but I suspect it would be very easy to create a script to do that, as Xfig format is a text file. Details about Xfig format can be found at: http://www.xfig.org/userman/fig-format.html Such an option would save the effort undertaken by the common user with hacking the Xfig file, as pstoedit does not generate Xfig files with the special flag on.

1.4.3 user interface file
Sorry to feel that the "user interface file" with "windefault" was far more user friendly than the current one (default). I tried the other one's with no upgrade. I tried to use "wintoolbars.ui" without success getting an error requiring to "check the configuration". Is there a way to use "windefault.ui" from LyX 1.4.1 into 1.4.3 there is some controls like Bf, dvi, pdf->latex which are quite agreable and efficient. Also the buttons spread over two lines are quickly accessible in regards of one line in 1.4.3. Thanks Paul

You have perhaps a better solution, Rich: 1. insert '$\mu$' in your figure; 2. select 'Special flag' and 'Use LaTeX fonts' for '$\mu$'; 3. insert your Xfig picture in your LyX document with Insert -> File -> External material (Xfig's Template).

But, does it matter if we directly import a .fig or we export the image to .eps and insert that format? Yes, Rich, it matters if you have text or formulas in your figure. The enunciated procedure allows you to have the text in your figure written (in the ps/pdf output) with the same font used by your document. In particular, it is quite handy when you have formulas in your figure, as they will render as nice LaTeX wirtten formulas (in your ps/pdf output), and no need to use psfrag.

I don't know that file, but I suspect it is a replacement for stdtoolbars.ui. If so, you should copy the file default.ui and wintoolbars.ui to your personal LyX directory (if something like that exists on Windows), and change in default .ui the line: Include "stdtoolbars.ui" by Include "wintoolbars.ui" Jürgen Thanks, after several trials I copied all ui files from 1.4.1 into personal LyX directory (for windows xp pro : documents and settings\application data\LyX1.4.x\ui and now it works properly for both 1.4.1 (which is still installed) and 1.4.3 ... they are interferring between each other.

Thanks for the suggestion, Stephen. It didn't seem to make a difference, though. Bruce, You may want to try a conversion from eps to pdf of your figure and then insert it into your LyX document.

Table of content
LyX 1.4.3 svn - class of document : book - language : French. The table of content appear in the LyX document when it does not in the transcoding pdflatex. I used Chapter* but it is not supposed to appear in the TOC with this class of doc. So I replaced Chapter* by Section* which is supposed to appear. Effectively it appears inside the LyX file but not in the pdf doc through pdflatex. Sorry the title "table des matieres" (toc) appears with nothing below. Any clue Thanks and regards Paul

Are you sure? Normally, none of the *-headings are supposed to appear in the
TOC (that's what the star insicates, amongst others).
Sorry, I have got a problem to update my LyX news files.
May be I misinterpret, but in "Document parameters ", "Numbering and TOC"
window, I find :
Examplenumberedappears in TOC
Part*yesyes
section*yesyes
subsectionyesyes
subsubsection nono ...
and when I click on the "toc" button inside the document it is exactly what
is appearing. but never in the pdf doc.
If you want unnumbered sections in the TOC, you have to do something else.
Here are some possibilities:
(1) write
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{}
in TeX-mode just below the Chapter*. If it's a Sction*. replace "chapter"
by "section".
(2) use KOMA-book as a class and use "Addchap" and "Addsec" instead of
Chapter* and Section*
(3) if you have only unnumbered, no numbered headings, just use Chapter and
Section and set "Numbering" to "no" in Document->Settings->Numbering & TOC
Thanks for the tip, I was afraid to use the "slider" to modify the numbering
to "no".
thanks again

Article (AMS) [French language]
Sorry to come back again on this class, but I start to believe that the problem might come from the formatting of this class into French. 1) Two-sided document: If it works in the English-American version then in my installation (1.4.3 svn) whether I select English or French, as soon as I reach the second page of my document and I want to display it under PDF_(pdflatex) then I got an error. If I untick "two-sided" then it works. 2) If I want to insert a "part", if I change the size of the font then I got an error. Without changing anything, it works but then the display in PDF_(pdflatex) is: "première partie 1.les peuples (les peuples being the part title) which is in English something like "first part 1. The tribes". I believe that whether "first part" or "1." should be displayed but not both isn't it ? I am a bit puzzled ! paul

I tried to apply your parameters to mine without success. So I transcoded into TeX to see the differences In fact provided it has been prepared in French then it keeps the memory of the original parameters adding yours. So, I modified my document under TeX to fulfill your parameters (newtherorem and theorem style excepted) and saved it under .TeX. Then I imported it in LyX, then readjust some parameters which where not properly imported. Also, I removed what has been added into the Latex preamble(at the end of the LyX parameters) to avoid two preambles and tried to display without success However, as soon as I unticked the "double-sided" document then I displayed under PDF_(pdflatex) without problem in US letter format. So, I believe that there is something in the French LyX built version under windows which misinterpretes something, maybe with miktex or ... may be a problem with the accents which are largelly used in French ... I already got a problem like that the first time I used LyX to translate a user manual. I was obliged to be in English to be able displaying in some cases even inputting in French. Here whether I move to English, it does not change anything. I have prepared a document with the difference in the LaTeX preamble between your document and mine. Also I keep at your disposal my document modified with your parameters. However, I guess the list forbid to join them here ! Paul/s

Sorry to ask you this simple question: Where and how do I check the version of amsart and babel under windows (version 1.4.3. svn) installation made using the windows installer (not the full installation). I do search in LyX and MikTeX but no one is giving that information. Shall I go back to gmane version page to look at the versions which are installed for this version. I am also afraid to install the new version because each time the new one is stacked on the former one, using some ressources from the old one. In such a case might it be better to uninstall everything and reinstall the new version. Regarding MikTeX, it is possible to upgrade to the 2.5 version. But when you go to the MikTeX site, there is some upgrade issues regarding dvipdfm, dvipdfmx, dvips, miktex, pdftex config which are lost. and for a "basic windower" it is not so clear. of course I can still just upgrade the files which are displayed to be upgrade... but neither babel nor amsart are concerned.

The LyX installation on a Mac OS running 3.9 is not configured properly, and I think to confiugre it should be easy. (I was not able to install LyX using the installer because of problems with the script; I started another thread on this problem, but no one can seem to answer it.)

I have added the path to the preferences and reconfigured LyX, but that does not work. My latex binary is in: /usr/TeX/bin/powerpc-darwin/latex So I have added /usr/TeX/bin/powerpc-darwin: to the beginning of my path. I have then run the reconfigure commnd. But this does not seem to help. LyX cannot find latex and cannot find my classes. I have looked through the documentation and cannot find anything to help me. Thanks Pal

Okay, I didn't realize I needed ghostview and imagemagic. I am installing them right now. The version is 1.4.3.

I did this in a thread on 2006-11-23. The post is actually from Cynthia Johnson (whose computer I am trying to install this on).

When I got rid of the broken link and created a link to the right location, I was able to get the installer to run. I did get a red x next to preview, indicating that the right preview is not working? At any rate, I now have a working version of LyX. Thanks! Paul

Helo to all. I have problems with this code from the pstricks-add manual

I am not shure about the notation of the data file but this file is in the
LyX work directory and his name is barras.dat. In the preamble I have:
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackege{pst-bar}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
The file barras.dat is like this:
1466, 0
1470, 6.2
1474, 6.3
1478, 2
1482, 1
1486, 0.5
1490, 4.3
1494, 5
Thanks for your help.
PSTricks acts directly on the PS file and therefore the DVI output
should not be considered. Use PS View instead.

The spell-checker detects typos but no suggestions window
Dear All The spell-checker detects typos but never any window with replacements suggestion is shown. I am using LyX 1.4.3 installed from the official repositories on Fedora Core 6, and aspell-en-6.0-2.1 is installed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul
