That wasn't exactly what I was after, since APAv6 comes with so many of its
own formatting quirks I would have to undo that it would take five times as
long as doing the float placement by hand.

But, I dug around some more and found an elegant solution: the endfloat

Re: Figures not showing in pdf

Hi all,


I was having some trouble when generating a pdf output with pdflatex 
for a document with various figures (pdf graphic files). Some of them 
showed in the generated pdf but others didn't. For those not showing, 
a blank box with the correct figure size was shown instead.


After some digging, I found that the problem only happened to the 
graphic files for which LyX generated a "bb" (bounding box) option for 
the \includegraphics LaTeX command. That option is generated when you 
change the bounding box size in the graphics-clipping pane.


Some more digging revealed that the problem is that the latest version 
of pdftex-def file present in texlive-2017 and also in miktex 2.9 just 
ignores the bb option, leaving a blank box, with no error message.


Previous versions of pdftex-def deferred the bb option to the viewport 
option (with a warning). In that case the graphic file was included 
correctly. So, this problem occurs only with updated TeX installations.


Have anybody else seen this problem?

I may have a workaround, inspired by bug #7910 
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7910), which I think is related. Rather 
than using the "Clipping" tab in the graphics dialog, use the "LaTeX and 
LyX options" tab, and in the "LaTeX options" field enter "viewport=" 
followed by the offsets from lower left for the corners of the clipping 
box (same values you would have entered in the clipping dialog). I had 
to commit the change, save the document, close it and reload it to get 
the new settings to apply, but my test graphic appeared an seemed to 
work okay.

I can confirm that it occurs here (TeXLive 2017 on Linux Mint). There 
may be other related bugs in TeXLive. I manually edited the .tex file to 
switch the 'bb' option to a 'viewport' option, in a document with a 
single line of text followed by a PDF image in an image float. With not 
bb or viewport, it works. With the bb option, regardless of how the 
bounding box is defined, the line of text and the figure caption are 
there but no image is present. If I switch bb to viewport, the image 
appears ... but if set the set the upper right corner lower than the 
original image bounding box, I lose the first line of text (as well as 
part of the image, which is expected)!

  I see one possibility:

  Aligning to the center might override the minipage or scaling to 45% of
text width.


You may have noted that , horizontal fill is not visible in the source. Do
they show up ? I am inserting the horizontal fill between the two

  No idea, because I've not had an issue with placing two figures

I'm confused. I was just noting a related post. I think the
stackexchange post was made after Sajjad's email and your response, so
you couldn't have seen it anyway. I don't know if that was a
cross-post or not (meaning it is the same person who made both posts).
It doesn't really matter. Whenever I see two open questions that are
related, I try to "link" them so that (1) people do not waste time
trying to solve a problem that is already solved (for a fun and
informative read, see
http://www.latex-community.org/home/latex-community/94-etiquette/454-crossposts);
and (2) if someone google's and comes across this question, they can
follow the link and find a related topic of interest that might help
in solving their problem.

Did I misunderstand something? I am often bad with communication
through text, so I'm always looking for ways to improve. Suggestions
are welcome. Looking back, I think one thing I could have done better
is reply to Sajjad's email instead of your email. When I am not
quoting something and I just want to reply, I have the habit of just
replying to the last email in the thread. By I suppose that has the
side effect that you think I am responding directly to you. Would it
have been better if I responded to Sajjad instead of the last email in
the thread (which happened to be yours)? Also, I could have removed
you from GMail's "reply all" default, which is a lazy way of respond
to the list. Would that have avoided confusion?

OK I'll pay more attention to that. Soon I will be mostly leaving

Hi Adrián,

I'd do it with wrapfigure:

The settings of Wrap (right click opens the menu) lets you place the figure on

What do you mean with 'Title'? If you mean Caption, then I cannot help you, but
if you are thinking about Figure and the main text then you can do it with an
ugly hack:
\vspace{-0.5cm} for example lets the vertical offset shrink for half a

Hi Ray,

I have no idea how to do it, but I have an idea how to troubleshoot it. Take 
the simplest possible LyX file, try to insert a figure in a wide, outside 
margin and can do so easily in LaTeX by inserting a \includegraphics call 
into a properly configured \wrapfig package call (with outside of the 
binding parameter) . Make sure that with this new, ultrasimple file, it still 
fails.

If it succeeds, exploit the differences between the large and small file to 
find the root cause.

However, if the small file fails, then export it to LaTeX, and exploit the 
differences between the exported LaTeX and a hand-made equivalent that works.

Please let us all know when you find the answer. Having ERT fail when the same 
thing succeeds in LaTeX is indeed puzzling.

Thanks

 Hi. I have a problem with figure alignment and placement next to text.

We had a flurry of email about this a few weeks ago.

The basic principal is that each TeX character has a baseline. This
baseline is the reference point for the character. In general it is the
bottom of the character except for letters like g where the tail is
called a descender and goes below the baseline.

When you top align minipages, it the baselines of the topmost content
which are aligned.

The answer is to place equal invisible elements (like protected spaces
or nulls) at the top of each minipage.

Is the problem that the row gets taller when you insert the image?

In that case, the image is too tall.  Not all the height of a table row
is available for use, some of it is supposed to be white space above
and below the text.  So inserting an image taller than the font height
will make the row taller, even if the image might fit between the
tabular lines.  This because latex thinks you want a certain amount
of white space above and below - but perhaps you don't in this case.

One way of fixing this might be to use the \raisebox latex command.
It is normally used to move stuff up or down, but it may also
be used for lying to latex about the height of its contents.
So it can be used to tell latex that no, this picture has no
height at all so no need to extend this row.

Use two tex boxes, one in front of your image and one immediately after it.
In the first one, type:
\raisebox{0mm}[0mm]0mm[]{
In the second box, type:
}
The second tex box merely ends the raisebox command, that's why
it only contain an ending brace.  Put your image between these two
tex boxes.

Do as in the example, and the figures _will_ be side by side.
The example uses two figures, each in separate minipages.
Latex tries to put stuff on the same line until the line gets full. If 
the two
minipages is 50% (or less) of column width, then they will fit on a 
single line
and you get two figures on the same line.

The recipe aligns one figure with the left margin and one with the right 
margin,
because there is a hfill between them. (hfills take up all excess space 
on a line).

If you don't want your figures right at the edges, try putting a hfill 
before the
first one and a hfill after the last one too. Note that this only 
shuffles the minipages
around. The figure inside a minipage may be smaller than the minipage, and
possibly badly aligned inside it.  Put the cursor inside the minipage, 
in the same paragraph as the figure. Then select layout-paragraph and 
use centered, right-justified
or left-justified. (The setting applies only to that one paragraph 
inside the minipage,
nothing happens to the minipage itself.) You can also use hfills inside 
the minipage
if you find that easier.

If this don't help, please ask a more detailed question. Tell what you

 All my figures are fairly large. Like the smallest is about a third of a

LyX does not format this at all, this is LaTeX.

And if you find them at the end, it's obviously not 'under the carpet'

 Oh, by the way, now I can't even visualise anymore because of a bunch of
 Latex errors. I guess lyx must be struggling with my huge pictures.
 
 I get Latex errors of the type
 
 Missing number, treated as zero.  \begin {center}\includegraphics[% A
 number should have been here; I inserted `0'.  (If you can't figure out
 why I needed to see a number, look up `weird error' in the index to The

 LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats.s

There is a fixed limit on such. 19 or so...

  \begin
 {center}\includegraphics[% You've lost some text.  Try typing  return

 or 
 
 Undefined control sequence.  \end{figure}

 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 spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll
 forget about whatever was undefined.
 
 
 There's like 9 of them and they're all clustered around this one figure.

Try putting \clearpage or similar in ERT just behind your first figure.

Very interesting.

No more Latex errors, but the figures are still bunched together. However, 
they are not after the bibliography like they were before, now they are 
before the bibliography, and there is one paragraph of text separating them 
from the bibliography. 

 There is a fixed limit on such. 19 or so...

Also, even more interesting, all these problems started after I added the last 
two figures, number 19 and number 20, and the offending figure, the one that 
I put the \clearpage after was exactly figure 19. Coincidence? I think not.

So how does one get around the figure number limit in the article class? 
just put clearpages after each figure or something, or just add something to

Maybe not after each, but 'earlier'.

Make sure there is enough text material between your floats.

Changing the class would not help.

You should never have more than a page worth of tables floating, so this is
3 or 2 tables or so. 19 is big enough. If TeX can't find a good page
break you have to help it a bit.  \clearpage is one option, there others,
\textfrac(sp?) or similar.

  I had the same problem last week when I had some deadline. I solve it 
putting a clear page before any section so that all figures where displayed 
in the respective section.

  Just my two euro cents. :-)

Thanks, I got it now.

Also, one more highly technical question.

 IIRC this is a hard coded TeX limitation.

What does IIRC stand for?

How large are your figures compared to the text height?

LyX does not format this at all, this is LaTeX.

And if you find them at the end, it's obviously not 'under the carpet'

There is a fixed limit on such. 19 or so...

Try putting \clearpage or similar in ERT just behind your first figure.
What happens?

Very interesting.

No more Latex errors, but the figures are still bunched together. However, 
they are not after the bibliography like they were before, now they are 
before the bibliography, and there is one paragraph of text separating them 
from the bibliography. 

> There is a fixed limit on such. 19 or so...

Also, even more interesting, all these problems started after I added the last 
two figures, number 19 and number 20, and the offending figure, the one that 
I put the \clearpage after was exactly figure 19. Coincidence? I think not.

So how does one get around the figure number limit in the "article" class? 
just put clearpages after each figure or something, or just add something to 
the preamble...? It would be kinda late to change class now...

Alex.

IIRC this is a hard coded TeX limitation.

Maybe not after each, but 'earlier'.

Make sure there is enough text material between your floats.

Changing the class would not help.

You should never have more than a page worth of tables floating, so this is
3 or 2 tables or so. 19 is "big enough". If TeX can't find a good page
break you have to help it a bit.  \clearpage is one option, there others,
\textfrac(sp?) or similar.
