Problem referencing a figure

FERNANDO DIAZ — 2008-10-07T21:41:42

Hi: I have a problem with a cross reference to a figure in Lyx. I inserted the figure using Insert figure float, then insert grapichs and finally apply a label to it. Everything seems to be alright, but when I want to dvi it, i get the following message: LaTex Error: File 'prettyref.sty' not found. Has someone had a similar problem? I am using Lyx 1.5.6 on Woindows XP Thanks!

Re: External_templates file format

Georg Baum — 2008-10-07T19:23:38

copiers are not defined in the external templates file. Copiers are external scripts that are called when files of certain formats need to be copied. They are only needed if the _contents_ of the file to be copied needs to be changed. I believe that you don't need that in your case. This is only needed in special cases (e.g. the tex_copy.py script that is used top copy .pstex/pdftex files used by the xfig template from the temp dir to the final location). The final result as given by the UpdateResult line. If AutomaticProduction is false then LyX does not call any converters, only the original file is copied to the temp dir. Therefore this implies that UpdateResult is the original file. No, the copiers are always called automatically. Georg

Export to rtf with bibliogrpahy and formated citations

Matts Lindström — 2008-10-07T17:44:03

Hi, I'm using Lyx 1.6 rc2 (on Ubuntu Hardy Heron). This is my question: is it somehow possible to export a lyx document to rtf (or .odt or .doc) *with* bibliography and citations included *and* correctly formated by bibtex? Thus far I've had no success using the rtf-export: the document exports fine, but no citations/bibliography... (I'm using jurabib with the jox style) Thanks, Matts Lindström

Re: fully colored table cells with booktabs an colortbl

Johannes Knaus — 2008-10-07T17:13:53

Well, I tried the proposed solutions here but they didn't produce what I want. Setting linespace to a negative value is generally an option but I have multiline input (linebreaks inside the table cells), so I need a little space between the horizontal lines and the content of the cell. But I want that space to be colored and not white. I could neither find something on this in the Embedded Objects Manual. So, I post a small LyX file with the table, as Paul suggested.

how to number only one equation in a Matrix

Erez Yerushalmi — 2008-10-07T16:11:28

Dear All, Simple question here. I want to start with an equation, do the calculation on the right side, and end up with the solution and an equation number at the end. For example, I begin with insert equation with a number by using cnrl-alt-M Then I use cnrl-enter to create the next equations (like a matrix). BUT, how do I write this type of equation with only the last equation as a #, example: A=b-c =(d+e)-d =g (#) and NOT A=b-c (#) =(d+e)-d (#) =g (#) Any help would be appreciated. Erez

Re: dot/graphviz

Les Denham — 2008-10-07T15:53:52

I have not used graphviz, but according to its website it can output postscript and PDF, either of which can be put in a figure in LyX (you may need to convert postscript to EPS, but that's easy too). Or you could output SVG files and use inkscape to include them in LyX (see http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/UseInkscapeSVGImages).

Re: External_templates file format

David Townshend — 2008-10-07T15:45:36

material (Ch. 6), but I can make sense of them. I think that there are some serious deficiencies in the external_templates file format and I filed a bug report about it (http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5331). I also think that the file could be better dealt with using xml. As far as the docs are concerned, they seemed to be fairly up to date. There's a lot thats unclear and not well detailed, but I don't think there's anything thats plain wrong. To improve them I think they just need a lot more detail and examples throughout, e.g. under* 3.2.2 Copiers* there is a definition: *"$$l The 'LATEX name'." * Great, but what exactly is the *'LATEX name'*? Another example is in *6.2.1 The template header*:*"AutomaticProduction true|false Whether the file represented by the template must be generated by LYX."* Which file? Does this mean whether the copier should be called automatically? But if this is false then how is the file generated? Or does it refer to another file, and if so, which one? I don

If you study these docs and are able to make sense of them, I'd VERY much appreciate it if you'd forward any comments to me on how they could be improved, or whether they are even still accurate. Richard

Re: custom display of specific ERT

rgheck — 2008-10-07T14:17:00

As JMarc said, no. But you can put it, and any other macros you like, into a separate file and then include that (Inset>File>Child Document) at the top of the document. Richard

Re: custom display of specific ERT

Wendell Smith — 2008-10-07T06:44:07

I apologize for the confusion, but I figured one thing out but would like to ask something new. I figured out how to insert a math macro: "Alt-x" to start writing a command, and then "math-macro dbar 0" to start a new math macro will then input the macro right then and there (with "dbar" being the macro command I want to create); I found this online, once I knew to look for a macro. However, is there any way to put a math macro like that in a layout file or a preamble? thanks, Wendell

Re: custom display of specific ERT

Wendell Smith — 2008-10-07T06:11:31

Thanks, I only need it for math! But... how and do I define a math macro? In the preamble? You said "this definiton will appear with two boxes on screen" - how do I get that definition to appear on the screen at all? thanks, Wendell

Re: custom display of specific ERT

Andre Poenitz — 2008-10-07T06:05:49

It only works for math. In this case you can define a math macro with zero arguments. This definiton will appear with two boxes on screen. In he first one you put the TeX expansion, in the second one you could put anything. The contents of the second box will be used for on-screen rendering, so you can try to fake the appearance of \dbar there. Andre'
