LyX class assignment

2003-10-24 Thread Amir Michail
Hi, The discussion on this has been quite useful to us. I have contacted other academics at UNSW CSE and have shown them this thread to see what they think. BTW, there may be university regulations about whether we can require students to submit patches in a public forum. Some students -- parti

LyX programming assignment in class of 200 3rd year SE students

2003-10-22 Thread Amir Michail
Hi, I'm thinking of giving a LyX programming assignment to a class of 200 3rd year software engineering students. This is for COMP3141 at UNSW: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs3141 The students vary considerably in ability from some who are quite weak to superstar programmers. Consequently, if I

LyX 1.3.0 compile problems with -finstrument-functions

2003-02-13 Thread Amir Michail
Hi, We tried to write a LyX 1.3.0 template for DRT, but found that the source no longer compiles with CXXFLAGS=-finstrument-functions. This used to work with LyX 1.2.1. Here is the error (with Qt frontend): g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I./../ -I../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/includ

solution for LyX problems under DRT + LyX demo in paper

2002-09-22 Thread Amir Michail
Hi, I believe we can address the polling and cursor problems in LyX under DRT by identifying a user action as follows: * an X input determines the start of an action (e.g., key press) * a burst of X outputs (e.g., screen draw requests) determine the end of the action (e.g., show the correspond

2002-09-01 Thread Amir Michail
Hi, Perhaps a configure flag could be used to build LyX in a way that works well under DRT? Although the polling change I mentioned (and others) may not be bug free, they do seem to get LyX working under DRT. You can see some preliminary results here in the following screenshots: http://www

frequent polling in LyX

2002-08-28 Thread Amir Michail
Hi, We have noticed that LyX performs frequent polling. In particuar, C_WorkArea_work_area_handler is called multiple times per second. Is this frequent polling necessary for updating the display? Or is the display updated immediately when changes are made to the document? Amir P.S. We are a

i, I would like to download the entire CVS depository for LyX. However, webcvs gives a depository that has been cut off at some point in the past. I can no longer go to the very first versions of the files. Do you know where I can get such a fuller CVS depository for LyX? While I need versio
