Creating a layout for IOP publishing.

2007-05-18 Thread Stanislaw Kalicinski
Hi, I'm currently working on a layout for IOP articles (I will make it available as soon as it's finished). The reason why I'm doing it is the layout which available ( wiki.lyx.org ) is rather poor and not satisfying me. The problem is that in LyX I want to make use of some "ready to use"

I had a few spare moments and decided to try the new 1.5 beta on an Intel Mac. I like the new layout; I quickly found a possible bug. I attempted to load an old LyX file that had many (in excess of 40) child documents. The beta opened all of them, and as a result I have a "document bar"

How to create a good looking and memory conserving full page graphic?

I don't really understand what you're trying to do. Is it that you just want some LyX command to insert these two lines: \Bibliography{} \endbib but where num is found automatically? If that's it, then no, that can't be done just with layouts, as they do not have access to the LyX

But if you still want to use a bitmap format, old plain GIF seems to be the solution for this case. Just index your figure with as few colors as possible. For this kind of situations GIF does a way better job than JPG. On 5/18/07, Les Denham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Friday 18 May 2007
