LyX uses existing tools to make the final PDF (not included with the LyX
package). So the size doesn't really depend on LyX, but on the tools you
have installed. Eg. pdflatex is one of the popular tools, dvipdf and
ps2pdf are others. Check in Preferences, in the converter section,
which is configured.

Hello and thanks
i found what was the problem, i went into preferences->files
and unselected the "vectorial graphic" option in pdflatex..
then the size became 9Mb..
i hope this won't cause printing problems..

interesting behaviour

2008-07-11 Thread assasukasse

I noticed an interesting behaviour:
If i make a document with lyx in ubuntu hardy, the pdf that comes out is 
around 9Mb

if i do in debian lenny, the pdf that comes out is 20Mb!
of course both the sources are the same!
what could cause this???



pagenumbering

2008-07-11 Thread assasukasse

Hi all
i am paginating my thesis with lyx, i divided the document into many 
child documents
and made a page called Thesis which joins together (by putting add child 
document one after the other).
Now, while the first pages, which uses roman numbering show correct 
placement of the number (on the bottom outside), the following child 
document, which uses arabic page numbering is performing incorrectly, by 
putting the page numbering in the wrong side of the page.

Is there any way to make lys fix this?
Thanks

long table with math...

2008-07-06 Thread assasukasse

Hello
i have the need to make a table filled with math formulas, the formulas 
are too big so they have to be split in 2 or 3 row for each box of the 
table, however, is i do by ctrl-enter, then the pdf doesn't compile..

What is the correct procedure for having multi line math formulas in tables?
Thanks

change page order for "parts"

2008-06-30 Thread assasukasse


Hello
i was wondering if is possible to tell LyX, to impaginate following this 
rule:
the page bearing the Part I, Part II or similar, should be always the 
front side of a sheet, since at the moment i have "part" pages in the 
back side of the sheet as well (i am printing double side).
I am not sure i am clear enough, but i will try to use a more specific 
language:
I want the "part" to be always printed in the recto of the paper sheet, 
NEVER it should end up in the verso..

Is that possible?
Thanks alot!
Agostino

May be you can split your ps file with

  psselect -p 1 file.ps file1.ps

and include this file1.ps into a lyx graphic. Do this for all other pages.

Re: gnumeric and lyx

Christopher Reeve ha scritto:

What if you import your .tex file into LyX by going File>Import>LaTeX (plain)

Then copy and paste the bits you need into your main LyX document.

Does that work? If not you might have to modify your .tex file
slightly to a format that LyX supports, or include a missing package.
What are the errors?

Chris.

  

Hello
unfortunately it doesn't work ..
i just get a bunch of errors when i try to compile it (also it doesn't 
look correct having a lot of \gnumeric here and there)

now
if i have a matrix in text format
is there a way to import it in lyx w/o having to manually type each cell?
Thanks

How to fix modernCV in Debian and derivates..

2008-05-25 Thread assasukasse

Hello everyone
probably some of  you have noticed that the modernCV template doesn't 
compile in debian etch, testing, and ubuntu.

I posted the bug and got no feedback so i found a workaround for that:

first of all download the CTAN modernCV package
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/moderncv.html

then unpack it in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/moderncv
(of course don't unpack the readme files and the examples directory)

then as root run:
texhash

reconfigure lyx and your modernCV will be working perfectly.

How to have numbered equations using KOMA scripts.

2008-02-29 Thread assasukasse

Hi everyone
i found that lyx is an excellent tool for writing for academics papers, 
however, while i am pretty satisfied with the floating tables, and 
floating pictures, i still couldn't find a way to have all my equations 
numbered (not showing in the summary but just numbered)
Most of the time i just put an equation or two in between my writing, i 
do using the Math display function, so i end up with a nice equation 
centered in the page, but that is not numbered...
i would like it will be automatically numbered according to the part, 
chapter and so on..

is that possible?
Thanks

If you search the archives, you'll find a lot on this. Generally, the 
view is that title pages are best configured manually, rather than 
using LaTeX's built-in title pages.



Hello
Thanks, I will try to configure the title page by setting it standard text
This depends in part upon what document class you are using. But 
something like

   \date{}
should just set the date to an empty string.

yes i figured out by using the macro "date" and putting a space on it..

Where are you trying to put them?

rh


I am trying to put them in the title, I need some spaces in between the 
title words,

the setup i need to use is pretty funny:

headers and title in the middle
a picture
then on the left my name, and on the right the teachers names..
then a line and the year...

I think is best i make it as standard text!
Thanks



[new user] hello everyone, and 2 questions..

2008-02-14 Thread assasukasse

Hi everyone
i am a new user, i am writing my degree thesis in lyx since i don't want 
to use Word (the results with lyx are far better)
However i incurred in 3 problem that i need to solve if i want to make 
EVERYthing in lyx:


  1. I should use a particular position for the inscription of the
 first page, the title should be in the middle, and the authors
 should be on the left and right...Title works fine, but authors
 wants to put in the middle as well...I tried to use standard, but
 then they switch to the next page..this is unacceptable. So i need
 to know how can i force them to be all in the same page, or how to
 relax the restrictions on the position of text for the Author field.
  2. I don't want the date to be added automatically at the end of
 every chapter i make, how can i remove it?
  3. seems to me that defskip, smallskip, bigskip don't work usually
 unless i "protect" them...is this fine?

Thanks everyone!
