RE: using ACM SIGGRAPH layout
Any progress on getting this to work properly? I'm happy to be a guinea pig because I'm going to be submitting a paper to the SIGGRAPH conference at the end of January. I'm highly motivated to make this work. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2008 6:54 AM To: Manveru Cc: Brian Guenter; LyX User Subject: Re: using ACM SIGGRAPH layout Manveru schrieb: > If yes - try to add "siggraph" package from the MikTeX Package Manager > (available from menu group of MikTex).

LyX didn't yet have a layout file for acmsiggraph, but I now created one. You find it together with the installation instructions and an example file here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSiggraph Please test it out and report me back. When you can use it successfully, I will include the layout file to the next LyX version. regards Uwe
RE: using ACM SIGGRAPH layout
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. You can't use '\relax' after \the Undefined control sequence. You can't use '\relax' after \the Description: \bibitem{Goldstein} 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.

Anyway, you have to download the LaTeX document class and install it in the MikTeX LaTeX folder (assuming you are using MikTeX), update/refresh MikTeX and reconfigure LyX.
