Re: Tgif with lyx as equation editor
But you don't have tgif in the windows system PATH, right? I copied tgif.exe to the windows/system32 directory, but that was not enough. I also needed some dll files in there and to set my DISPLAY in XP to 127.0.0.1:0.0 You need X running in the background, but that is always running for me. I kept working until tgif fired up normally from a cmd.exe window. It works perfectly for me. I can include .obj files in the graphics inset and they get displayed in LyX. Remember to start the X server as tgif needs it even for simply converting .obj files to other formats. If tgif is in your PATH, after reconfiguring you should see converters from TGIF to EPS, PPM, PNG and PDF in Preferences-Coverters. I had trouble with the tgif png converter, but once I removed that line from lyxrc.defaults, it was fairly smooth sailing. Editing and using obj files works great. It might be nice to have an option to bundle everything into a single tar file, all your obj, eps, bib files into a single tgz file, but it is not much for me to do that myself when needed. My crazy tgif file that calls lyx for equation editing in figures does not work, but that is to be expected. The equaiton objects need unix flavored calls like /usr/bin/lyx and pstoepsi, and lyx / tgif are running in a traditional shell. Thanks!

I straightened out some of the path problems, adding c:\cygwin\bin;c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin and the path to lyx.exe in my XP path. Now lyx opens tgif just fine for editing and converting. Tgif can be started from cmd.exe, and it will even correctly call lyx to write equations and convert the ps to eps for insertion back into the tgif file.

I am using the new 1.4.2 version on Windows. I am not sure how they compiled it, but I assume they used cygwin. No, that is a native version.

Try adding the path to tgif in PATH prefix under Tools-Preferences-Paths and then reconfigure (I am not sure if you need to restart LyX or if the change to PATH prefix takes effect immediately). So it looks like it is calling the convertDefaul.sh in the new Lyx 1.4.2 /Resources/scripts directory. That convert script appears to just call convert.exe, not tgif. tgif itself generates ppm etc called from my command line just fine. tgif is never getting called. It works perfectly for me. I can include .obj files in the graphics inset and they get displayed in LyX. Remember to start the X server as tgif needs it even for simply converting .obj files to other formats. If tgif is in your PATH, after reconfiguring you should see converters from TGIF to EPS, PPM, PNG and PDF in Preferences-Coverters. -- Enrico

The imagemagick problem was the reason to include an explicit converter. If you include the .obj instead of the .eps files in LyX you will be able to fire up tgif from within LyX (the edit button of the graphics dialog). Georg

On my XP box, I get garbage. Output at console from lyx: convert.exe: unable to open image `tgif:c:/gatzke/test.obj': Invalid argument. convert.exe: missing an image filename `ppm:c:/Documents and Settings/gatzke/Local Settings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir2724a03164/test2724a03164.ppm'. c:/Program Files/LyX142/Resources/scripts/convertDefault.sh ERROR Execution of "convert" failed. And when I try to convert an obj file to ppm: convert test.obj test.ppm convert: unable to open module file `/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.0.4/modules-Q16/coders/obj.la'. convert: missing an image filename `test.ppm'. Maybe it is due to me not reinstalling all the peripheral software with the new version update?

It should work if you enter the following converters by hand: Tgif->PPM: full/path/to/tgif -stdout -print -color -ppm $$i > $$o Tgif->PNG: full/path/to/tgif -stdout -print -color -png $$i > $$o Tgif->EPS: full/path/to/tgif -stdout -print -color -eps $$i > $$o Georg

This happens because you should have tgif in the PATH when you reconfigure LyX.
