Lyx Cross-Reference

[Sendak, John]

 

Hi

 

I am working through the Tutorial.

I cannot get the cross-reference (page 18 on the pdf) to work, as you
will see from the attached file.

All I get is “??”.

 

I cannot see an Apply button – please the an image of the
cross-reference dialog.

 

 

Any suggestions gratefully received.

 

 

Regards

quality of pdf when using pdf-pictures

[Leo Gürtler]

Hi together,
inserting pdf graphics in Lyx (win32 and miktex) and exporting them via 
pdflatex works technically fine, but the quality of the pdf-pictures 
(font) looks bad on the screen, but is of high quality on the print-out
The font quality of the whole document is excellent on the screen and on 
the print-out.
The original pdf-picture is high quality, so why this loss of quality ? 
If pdf is inserted as graphics and then the whole thing is exported to 
pdf, there should not be any converting like "pdf -> pdf", or am I wrong ?

any suggestions ?
thanks
Leo

how to get lyx working with a tetex distribution in /opt

[Ben Hourigan]

I just switched from Fink to DarwinPorts today, and reinstalled teTeX.
DarwinPorts installs teTeX by default in /opt/local/share/texmf/ and 
/opt/local/share/texmf-local/. Executables are in /opt/local/bin/. 
LyX/Aqua can't find teTeX in these locations, even after running 
texhash and doing an Edit > Reconfigure.

Anyone know how to get LyX to recognise the teTeX installation in these 
locations?

Currently, LyX/Mac automatically searches in these locations:
  /sw/bin
  /usr/local/bin
  /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current

We could hardcode more entries, but this is beginning to look like a
bit too much entries...

PNG files

[Sendak, John]

Hi

 

According to section 5.3.6.1 of “Extended LyX Features”, “ .. with pdfLaTeX
it is possible to insert directly images in … PNG.. “

I have a LyX document into which I have inserted a png file – via the  “insert/Graphic” toolbar.

 

This shows up in the LyX file but with an error message, as attached.

 

I am then unable to update the dvi or export to a pdf with pdfLaTeX.

 

 

Also, even without the png file, when I to use the “View/PdfLaTeX” toolbar,
I get an error message:-

Cannot view file

No information for viewing PDF (pdflatex).

 

 

Any information gratefully received.

 

 

Regards

LyXWin works fine for me under WinXP.
When I try to view the DVI preview of a document, the TOC sometimes

Export/PDF(pdflatex) function. I have noticed that if I add a section

Very weird, I've never had such problems. It sound that only one 
LaTeX-run was performed. (The TOC is created in the second or third 
run). It often helps, if you give folder write-permissions for 
"Everybody" to LyX's installation- and working folders.

And something else: I am looking for layouts for French documents, do 
you now where I can find that (for example something to write maths, but 
in French, with "Théorème" instead of Theorem, and so on).
This will be done by the babel package, which is used by LyX by default 
(just choose french as document language). But some words aren't 
supported by babel.
To use french "Théorème" add this to the preamble:

\newtheorem{theo}[section]{Théorème}

Astonishing, because pdflatex can embed pdf's directly without conversation
and quality loss. But possibly the fonts in the pdf-picture are bitmap 
fonts,
so that you see them pixeld, if the picture isn't inserted in its original
size.
Pdf-images can also be created from all image formats, e.g. you can save 
a jpeg as pdf. Those pdf's appear also in bad quality if they aren't in 
the original size.

Does using OK work? It look like the obvious thing to try, isn't it?
Note that you should first click on the entry you want.

I appears that the Apply button is missing from LyX/Qt 1.3.x. This
is fixed in current development version.

Basically, Apply is the same as OK, except that it keeps the dialog
open, so that you can use it again (which is the case in the tutorial,
when it is used twice in a row).

Hope this helps.

LyxWin

[Kevin Pfeiffer]

Hi,

I've seen references here to LyxWin. I would like to know if a non-techie 
Academic using Windows XP (or 2000) could be happy using LyxWin. My wife 
is working on a book publication and I have wanted to get her out of Word 
for some time. I can handle the general tech support and installation if 
the program itself is stable and comfortable enough (as it seems to be 
running under Linux).

Are there former Word writers (academic papers, no math or symbols) who 
have happily made this switch? (Or any pitfalls?)

Last question: Is there an installation document somewhere that explains 
how to set this up under Windows? If this is in the FAQ, then please 
point me there and I'll go read further before posting any more 
questions.

All the best and thank you in advance,

There seems to be no hint in the docs I're read about that.

Lyx & (lack of) Unicode support

[Gour]

Hello!

Sometime in the end of June I posted about having problem entering accented
characters (Sanskrit diacritics like a_macron, i_dotabove, h_dotbelow...) in
LyX via dead-keys - actually only entering chars with acute accent works (I 
tried both Xf & Qt front-ends).

On 2nd of July I submitted a bug report (#1625) along with the lyx -dbg 4 log
demonstrating the problem.

However, the bug is still unconfirmed and I did not receive any reply regards.

I understand that developers are busy fixing other things, but before leaving
LyX (the current LyX unability to handle accented chars properly - athough it
worked in the past, is a real stopper for me :-( and going with Kile (by using
ucs package, I can enter & process  utf-8 chars), I'd like to know what are the
current plans for Unicode support in LyX, i.e. can one expect anything before
1.5?


Sincerely,
Gour

Depends, you have to set it up very carefully, and test it a bit before using 
it for "Produktivbetrieb". A friend of mine had quite a few Problems because 
he didn't exactly follow the manual and just installed it (Windows-DAU-like). 
But now after a bit of finetuning it seems to work allright

This is correct. Your error looks like you used another export filter 
instead of export -> PDF(pdflatex).
But what happens if you export your file to LaTeX and then process the 
resulting newfile2.tex manually?:

In a console window change to the folder where the .tex-file is and type
pdflatex newfile2
Also, even without the png file, when I to use the "View/PdfLaTeX" toolbar,
I get an error message:-

No information for viewing PDF (pdflatex).
You're using LyXWin, right? Then you have to tell LyX a program for that 
action. Go to edit -> settings -> file formats and choose pdf. Now enter 
the name of the .exe of your pdf-program in the field viewer. (E.g. if 
you use acrobat, the name is acrobat.exe, so type in

acrobat
(Adobe Reader has another file name) )
Do this for all three pdf file formats and then restart LyX.

a Font question

[John Coppens]

Hi all...

I'm not sure where to ask this question, but I'm sure there are quite a
few people on this list that had similar problems.

I wonder if some utility exists (for Linux) that can

- Validate a font (there are lots of good -free- fonts on the 'net but
  many of them have errors in the packaging Some even crash the font
  servers)

- Show a font without have to declare it first to the X font server,
  do a rehash etc?

Ideally it should work for TTF and Type1 fonts, too.

Am I asking too much?

This seems to be the problem. I can see in LyX that LaTeX is run only 
once (but for some documents, it runs three times). LyX's folder is 
"read only" but I can't uncheck the box in the folder properties (well, 
I can, but it doesn't remain unchecked). But this is a Windows-Problem.

I have chosen french as the default document language, and with

Assuming you've clobbered /sw, since you don't use fink anymore, how 
about, from a shell:

 sudo ln -s /opt /sw
and perhaps also (to mimic fink tetex dir structure:
 sudo ln -s /opt/local/share /opt/share

If there are already share and bin subdirs below /opt, you might need to

Thank you so much for your rapid and extremely useful reply.
You are correct - I am using Windows - and I must have used another export
filter.
I entered acrobat.exe in the three pdf viewers and all worked well.
I also have some other problems :
In exporting updated pdflatex files, the update seems to get stuck in  a
temporary directory -
not the directory the lyx file resides and in which I presume the updated
version of the pdf file should reside.
After restarting LyX, I had no problem, so perhaps it was because I
overloaded the software with so many attempts 
at creating a pdf file.
It is important that LyX's installations- and working directories (with 
all subdirectories) have write-permissions for "everybody".

However I set the size of an imported graphic, all imports result in a
graphic wider than the page size in LyX and in the pdf file.
You have to scale the pictures, so that they fit to the page width. 
Right click on the image and adjust the size in the appearing dialogue.
The scaling units are explained here:

http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/Units
Section 5.3.6.5 - How can I make URLs clickable - of "Extended LyX Feature "
refers to a reference
http://ev-en.org/wiki/moin.cgi/LyxPdf

there.
ev-en.org was the old location of LyX's wiki. The new one is now:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/PDF
I'll update the documentation.
I worked out how to use labels and cross-references, but I couldn't see
anything on making internal hyperlinks in 
the document e.g.. to click on a cross-reference and jump to a label (or is
it the other way round ?)
Right-click on the cross-reference box andd you'll jump to the label.

This has nothing to do with layouts, that's a problem of babel. Babel is

But babel hasn't the following phrases in its database:

Somebody should ask the babel maintainer to add them.
For the meantime, I'll create a wiki-page with LaTeX-preambles to

Hallo Rich!

while i read this i remember that i#m always confused why lyx does'nt offer a 
button "centre" "flushleft" or "flushright" in the toolbar or a shortcut for 
this. I could not find anything in defaults.ui neither could i in cua.bind. 
Does anybody know, whether there's a shortcut or anything else that makes it 
easier to centre a Paragraph except this mouse-run through the menu, clicking 
five times just to centre a Paragraph.

Re: Centering graphics in float - Solution

[Stephen Buonopane]

Another option is to use the tip from Herbert Voss
http://www.texnik.de/floats/floats.phtml#center
Add the following to your  preamble...
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{%
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\centering
  }{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  }
\makeatother
You will not see the centering in LyX, but any output (dvi, df, ps) 
will have centered figures. This avoids having to apply the Paragraph 
formatting manually to each figure (which can be tedious in a long 
document).

else that makes it easier to centre a Paragraph except this mouse-run
through the menu, clicking five times just to centre a Paragraph.
Matthias,
  I suppose that it's not used all that often so there was no need to make
an icon linked to the function. Frankly, I don't find it that much trouble
to center figures and tables in their floating environments when I set them
up.

Character styles yet?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I've been gone for about 2 years. Now I'm writing a new book, and wondering 
whether LyX now has character styles, or whether I still need to use Dekl's 
text color workaround.

Thanks

I usually just cut and paste an existing fig from my
doc and that retains the centering.   Then all I need
to do is right click on the fig and change the
graphic.   
It is somewhat of a shortcut to running through the
menu.

Re: how to get lyx working with a tetex distribution in /opt

[Ben Hourigan]

Thanks Jean, the list of locations jolted my brain into discovering a 
simple solution. Here's how to make LyX work with a teTeX distribution 
installed by Darwinports (assuming you don't have Fink installed as 
well):

ln -s /opt/local /sw
Then Edit > Reconfigure, and away you go!

Currently, LyX/Mac automatically searches in these locations:
  /sw/bin
  /usr/local/bin
  /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current
We could hardcode more entries, but this is beginning to look like a
bit too much entries...

Thanks to Christopher Menzel, too, who suggested almost exactly the 
same solution, while my previous email was sitting in my outbox waiting 
for me to go online.
