Re: LaTeX Preview - Can I see compilation errors?
Andrew has answered your question. Another possibility is to have a latex file
for each tikz-picture which produces pdf file for the corresponding figure.
These pdf files can be inserted as figures in LyX. This approach has two
advantages: Firstly, you can use a good editor with syntax highlighting to edit
your pictures. Secondly, the compilation of the latex document is much faster.
You will automatically see the change in LyX, whenever any of these pdf files
is updated. In those latex files I am using
\usepackage[active,tightpage,psfixbb]{preview}
\PreviewEnvironment{pgfpicture}
\setlength\PreviewBorder{0pt}
in order to just produce the figures without any surrounding white space. I
don’t remember whether one actually needs the second and third line, but you
certainly need the package tightpage.

Hi all,
I have a problem with printing the special symbol \triangleq (which is

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? For now I am using the
symbol \equiv (which is a "=" with three dashes instead of two).

First question: do you have the amssymb LaTeX package (amssymb.sty)
installed?
Second question: assuming so, does your document preamble contain
"\usepackage{amssymb}"? Paul--

Re: LaTeX Preview - Can I see compilation errors?
Sorry, I meant the compilation of LyX documents is much faster. This matters
if you have many tikz-figures in your document.
