placing images eps/tiff
Okay, our printer is happy with the PDF output of the LyX document. That means that after the publisher's graphiker is done prepping the images that I will place them in the book using his eps/tiff files. I did a couple tests. For some reason I don't have tiff2ps installed, so I am using ImageMagick's "convert" instead. (In preferences for : "convert $$i PS:$$o") The DVI output looks fine, but if I view the resulting PDF file at 400% magnification I see subtle compression artifacts that are not there in the DVI version at similar magnification. What I am wondering: is this okay? I'm guessing that Adobe Reader compresses the image in a way appropriate to the output device (in this case the 72 ppi screen) in order to improve redraw time. Looking at the resulting EPS in Gwenview it seems to be okay. And next week the printer will also run a test from a PDF with placed images, just to be safe. Any other things to watch out for? I'm guessing that if I want to preserve the option to resize the images that I should get them back from the grafiker as tiffs instead of as eps's? Or am I asking something too far afield here? I also discovered the hard way that to use captions I need to use Float->Figure and then place the image inside that (well, maybe I had read further in the manual...). Thanks in advance, for help, tips, etc. (not to mention LyX)! -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations

Maybe, maybe not. How did you produce the pdf (pdflatex, dvipdfm or ps2pdf)? This could be a converter problem. What converter do you use for tiff->pdf (if you used pdflatex)? The reason I ask is that LyX will convert your tiff file to pdf and not eps if pdflatex is used. Georg
Misplaced Windows pages in wiki land
Hi Some wiki pages related to Windows seemed misplaced to me in the sense that such pages are placed in both the group LyX/ and the group Windows/. At least to me it makes more sense to move the of the following pages from the group LyX/ to the group Windows/ http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/WindowsSetup98ME http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/WinGraphics http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/PDFCreator http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/IrfanView http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXWin http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXWinTips http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Windows http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/WindowsSetup The first six pages, i.e. WinGraphics, WindowsSetup98ME, PDFCreator, IrfanView and LyXWin, I've simply moved to the Windows/ group (I hope I've fixed any broken links). However, since pages called 'Windows' and 'WindowsSetup' already exist in the group Windows/, I can't simply move the ones in LyX/. Nor can I just delete e.g. LyX.Windows, it might contain information that some of you have added there but that doesn't exist in Windows.Windows. So what I'm asking is for someone who knows these pages to check that there's no information in LyX.Windows and LyX.WindowsSetup that isn't already in Windows.Windows and Windows.WindowsSetup respectively. Once I know that, I can simply remove the pages in LyX/. regards Christian PS. If someone has objections against any of the above, let me know. All these changes can be reversed. -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
Footnotes in tables
Hi! Just tried to enter a footnote inside a table which sits inside a float. Converting it to any format shows the footnote number, but not the text. I vaguely remember that it was a big hack in LaTeX, but after that hack, the table footnotes were labeled from a) to z) and the text was placed right below the table, inside the float. How do I achieve that in LyX? Thanks in advance!

The tiff is converted to ps by ImageMagick, then it runs as for the rest of the file. Thanks also to Helga for a tip -- I used Konqueror's built-in pdf viewer (perhaps gs?) and there I see no compression artifacts at any resolution. So, as long as the images have enough data depth (which I think that they do), then things should be okay (knock on wood) when the printer runs his tests. BTW, if anyone runs into the "how to place two images side-by-side" question -- the LyX wiki has the answers... http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/FiguresSideBySide -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations

text color in Lyx
Dear All, I am wondering if anyone had this problem before. For example, I have the following paragraph: "...This is the first test, and this is the second test..." I can use "Layout->Character->Color" to change the text color as red. Then I go to "View->PDF(pdflatex)" to export the file. I find that, in the pdf file, if "...This is the first test," is in page 1, but "and this is the second test..." happens to be in the following page 2, the text in page 1 is red, but the text in page 2 is not red. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please advise. Thanks.

Empty pagestyle on a page with figures

In my document I have some large figures which end up on a page by themself.
How do I make the pagestyle of this page empty?

[announce] sixth release of LyXWinInstaller
Hello LyXers, I just published the version 0.6 of the LyX installer for Windows. Due to a bug of ftp.berlios.de it is only available from here: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117 This is the project homepage: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller Here's the changelog: --- Version 0.6 - updated swedish translation of the installer (thanks to Christian Ridderström) - updated spanish translation of the installer (thanks to Marco Celentani) - uninstaller will uninstall GSview when it was installed together with LyX - uninstaller asks you if you want to uninstall MiKTeX and Aspell when they were installed together with LyX - Instant Preview does now also work when LyX is installed in a path with spaces - fix in the check for the TeXLive LaTeX-distribution - updated Readmes (hints for the usage of TeXLive, updated license stuff) - updated LyX 1.3.7pre --- There are some important notes concerning the TeXLive LaTeX-distribution: I tried to use TeXLive together with my LyX installer but failed. TeXLive comes with its own (very old) Ghostscript version 7.07, that is incompatible with the version 8.x that is used in my installer. To avoid this problem, install TeXLive without Ghostscript or delete the folder ~\etc\Ghostscript in LyX's install directory and delete its path in LyX preferences. I found also incompatibilities in the programs dt2dv and dv2dt, that are used by LyX for the DVI-output. I don't know how to fix this. TeXLive don't have the program "epstopdf" so that you have to redefine the EPS -> PDF converter in LyX using the program "ps2pdf". These problems and possibly more implies that I don't give support that LyXWin works together with TeXLive, I can only promise that TeXLive is correctly recognized by the installer. But the LaTeX-distribution "ProTeXt" that is also on the TeXLive 2005 DVD will work, because it is based on MiKTeX. best regards Uwe p.s. Please send every annotation directly to me. (I'm currently not on a LyX-list).
list of figures / subfigures
Hi,
I've looked through the subfig package and searched the LyX site as
well, but can't figure out a couple things with the list of figures
page.
I'm using subfigures only (grahics within floats) and was able to modify
my subfigures (captions) as needed. I also use used
\setcounter{lodepth}{2} so that they show up in the list.
But now a couple problems.
1. I need something like "tocleft" to move the subfigures to the far
left side (since their are no figures).
2. I'm wondering how to use the "short caption" feature. (My captions
are within the LyX "caption" fields under "Subfigures". Can I somehow
add this there (to the LaTeX options right below it)?
I've tried this in the preamble:
\captionsetup[subfigure]{labelformat=simple}
But get a "missing \begin{document}" error.

But the LaTeX-distribution "ProTeXt" that is also on the TeXLive 2005 DVD will work, because it is based on MiKTeX. best regards Uwe I have another reason for not recommending TexLive2005, which is on a _CD_, and the Windows version is found in Win32. I test installations with sample.tex which is found in C:\texmf\doc\dvipdfm\sample.tex. Even with an earlier installer that didn't have troubles with ghostscript, the file, sample.tex, failed. This file displays jpegs of the author and two cirucuits. In TeXlive2005, the win32 latex doesn't unmangle the graphics. The Windows Latex installation of TL2005/win32 is just not up to snuff when compared to ProText or Miktex. The major difference between Miktex and Protext is that Protext consists of Miktex plus TeXNicCenter, an alternate front-end. Also I am pretty sure TUG includes a trial evaluation copy of WinEdt another commercial front-end. Though maybe it is a matter of taste, I think the ProText Upgrade Options Gui is clunky in comparison to Miktex and 4 out of 5 people would think so, it is an obvious look. Protext comes on the DVD with TL2005 because it was a little too large to fit on the CD. So TUG had little choice but to include the smaller xemtex-based install /win32 on the CD release of TL2005. If one has already decided to use LyX, then Miktex is the clear choice. I've already gotten updates from Miktex for December, 2005, and I don't think they propogate that quickly for ProText which doesn't share the same direct management person(s). Of course, if you have a DVD player and the TL2005 DVD/Protext and only have a modem connection, that would count for ProText. Regards, Stephen
