Re: Suppressing Page Number After Title Page
Hi!
Try the solution in the documentation for fancyhdr, chapter "those blank
pages". Then you also get rid of the headings on the blank page before
some chapters. The documentation is available for instance at:
http://www.win.tue.nl/latex/documentation/fancyhdr.pdf.
I found that neither \pagestyle{plain} nor \thispagestyle{empty} works
for the following blank page.

Document is book class with fancy headers. Following the title page is a
blank page with the page number '2' that I'd like to suppress. I've tried
\frontmatter
\pagestyle{plain}
between the author and the Preface page. I've also tried {empty} with the
same lack of results. \clearpage and \cleardoublepage also do not affect
the headers and footers.
Looking at TLC2 I don't see how to turn off the header and footer for
this one page. A reminder would be greatly appreciated.
In ERT in the title page:
\thispagestyle{empty}
I am kidding not. ;-)

Re: Screen Captures in Documents
Hi! I have no solution, but a related problem... In LyX I canot use insert->graphics from the menu. I think this is because LyX uses the graphics package and that it somehow conflicts with the gb4e package that I also use. When I remove gb4e graphic-insertion seems to work, but not the gb4e-stuff of course. I found a workaround to this, using graphicxs and include pictures with ERT. It works, but LyX does not seem to be capable to convert png to eps, when not using pdflatex, which I believe it does when inserting throw the menu. And I prefer not to use pdflatex, because it seems to make the quality of my xypic-figures quite bad. So then I have to manually convert png to eps for my screenshot. I tried to convert both with the Gimp and with the imagemagick convert tool, but both ways the quality of the eps-images are quite bad. So, any ideas? Either how to produce nice xypic with pdflatex, or nice eps screenshots from png.. /Sara Rich Shepard wrote: A document requires screen shots as illustrations. I've used The GIMP to capture the window, scaled the result to 100 pixels/inch resolution, and a size of 4 inches wide. Then it's saved as a .png file.

That is, should the resolution be higher? Is a different file format a better choice? They are raster images to begin with, so conversion to a vector format such as .eps will almost certainly result in resolution loss. Your experience counts! What have you to suggest? Rich

Regards, Stephen I wasn't actually using xypic, but xyling which is a linguistic tree package built on xypic, and thus I could not use it in LyX directly, so I constructed the pictures in ERT. Should probably have mentioned that in the first mail, but I didn't think about it... The pictures looks mostly fine, but the diagonal lines are not straight, neither when viewed with a pdf-viewer, or printed. They are actually not straight when not using pdflatex either, but they are much better. On another topic, I think that LyX is great, and I started using it so that I would not have to learn too much latex, which I did not know at that stage.

Re: bibtex natbib square brackets and Lyx
Hi! On way to solve this is to create your own bibliography style file. This can very easily be done by running "latex makebst" in a console. Doing this creates a stylefile by asking a lot of multiple choice questions, such as what type of brackets you like, in what orders names of authors should be, how you want your URLs etc. /Sara Alexander Gahr wrote: > Hi I'm currently searching for a bibtechstyle file for my german > diploma thesis. > There's one style file for my institute but it seems it don't works > well with natbib. > So it doesn't show up url and web pages > > Also i want to use square brackets in cite > > > "geschrieben in (Gahr et. al.[2004])" > > Is this possible. > THANX Alex > >

Hi! If the quality of the png-file is good, but not the quality of the the pdf-file created from lyx, the loss of quality appears when lyx converts the picture from png to eps.

Caption in longtable?
Hi!
I have trouble with getting a caption for longtables. I cannot use the
Caption environment, since I cannot place the longtable in a float. And
there seems to be no way to specify a caption in the longtable dialog.
So is there a way to solve this in LyX, or do I have to use ERT, like
for instance:
\begin{longtable}{|l|l|}
\caption{Verb frames for English}\\
\hline
Type&
Example\tabularnewline
\hline
\hline
\endfirsthead
\hline
Regular&
It rains\tabularnewline
\hline
. . .
\end{longtable}
By the way, I'm still using 1.3.6, so if this is solved in 1.4 I would
be happy to switch LyX-version, just haven't got around to yet...

correct page break + numbering after floats
Hi!
I'm trying to do the last few things on my thesis and got a bit stuck...
My last appendix contains a little text and then two big (one-page)
tables, in a float each. After that I need to insert a "library page", a
special page that I have in ERT, see below. On the library page their
should be no header and footer, and it should appear on a left page.
(The last table is on a right page...)
I have tried to achieve this by making a page break after the floats,
both from the LyX menue and in ERT with \clearpage and \cleardoublepage.
And I have tried to remove the headings both by \pagestyle{empty} and
\thispagestyle{empty}. But I just cannot seem to get it right.
If I place the page break after both floats I get an extra blank page
between the floats and the library page, and the library page is on a
right page. If I put the page break before or between the floats the
pages get right, but then the page with the last table gets the empty
heading, and the library page gets a normal heading. Or neither of them
gets any headings if I use pagestyle{empty}.
So I need to get the page break right, and the changed headings to apply
to the correct page. Any ideas?
/Sara
ERT for the "library page":
\changepage{}{}{}{}{}{-1.5cm}{}{}{} %%from chngpage package
%%% Här ritas blanketten upp:
\enlargethispage{30mm}
\scriptsize
\setlength{\unitlength}{1.23mm}

\put(27,209){\bf Avdelning, Institution}
%Lots of more puts here...

Have you tried putting the \thispagestyle{empty} at the end of the
"library page"?
I have tried that, and putting it in the middle of the page to, but it
is not working, because I get an extra blank page before the library
page and empty gets applied to that, and the library page still gets
headings. I get this blank page regardless of using \clearpage or
\cleardoublepage. If I use the LyX menue page break between the tables I
do not get the extra blank page, but then \thispagestyle{empty} is
applied to the last table page instead of the library page.
/Sara
Re: correct page break + numbering after floats
I solved it! The problem was that the picture on the library page was
bigger than the available textarea of the page. And this, for some
reason I don't know, caused a blank page to be printed before the
picture... Anyway, I made the text area slightly bigger with changepage
from the chngpage package in ERT, and it all worked fine!

Re: Question about Bibtex - which is the best GUI?
Hi! I've tried both Pybliographer and JabRef and I liked them both quite well. But then I had some trouble with both of them, they didn't really let me do everything I wanted, or maybe I didn't have the patience to learn how to do it. And like several others I had problems with non-ascii characters. So in the end I always ended up using emacs, with its really useful bibtex mode. It works a treat! I can automatically create entries of different types, and it lets me do everything I want. I can't directly insert references into LyX though, but I find the LyX dialog for that fine, so it doesn't bother me at all. /Sara Tim Vaughan wrote: >Hi, > >I plan on using Bibtex to handle the citations needed for a series of >essays I am writing.

The gb4e package apparently escapes some special characters, so it

I think that a much easier way to get a bst file than to start hack it is to use the makebst utility. (run latex makebst) Then you get a series of multiple choice question on how you want to format oyur bibliographical entries. Then two files are created, a dbj file and a bst file. The bst file is the bibliography file created. The dbj file is a batch file that is run through latex to create the bst file. If you later want to tweak the style file, this can easily be done by changing the dbj file, which is quite easy. Just comment out the option you want to change using a "#", and uncomment the line with the option you prefer instead. The you just run the dbj file thorugh latex to update the bst file! You might not be able to do everything this way, but at least it is easy and it helped me a lot! /Sara

One way to solve this would be to use a "strut" instead of vspace. A
strut is a rectangular box of zero width, and thus invisible, which can
be used to change the spacing of a line.
To get a strut you need some ERT (AFAIK, if there is a Lyx-way to do it
I'd be happy to know!), put it in the table cell where you want more
vertical space. The command is:
\rule[raise-height]{width}{height}
Where width should be set to 0, raise-height could be left out, but
should be set to a negative value if you want space below the line, and
height is the height of the strut, i.e. how much vertical space you will
get, for instance:
\rule{0pt}{14pt} - gives 14 points of vertical space from the
baseline and up
\rule[-5pt]{0pt}{20pt} gives 5 points space below the baseline and
15 points above it.
