If you set only the width or only the height, the other size will be determined automatically. If you set both, then the image will be transformed to the given size, possibly distorting it. To prevent the image from distortion, use the option \family sans Maintain aspect ratio \family default . The image will then be scaled so that its width and height don't exceed the specified dimensions. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Images can be opened in a program of your choice when pressing the \family sans Edit \family default button. The program can be set for every image format in the file format settings in LyX's preferences. \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Clipping \family default Alternatively to the usage of scaling units it is possible to set image coordinates to adjust the height and width of the image in the output. The coordinates can also be calculated automatically by pressing the button \family sans Get \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset from \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset File \family default . The option \family sans Clip \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset to \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset bounding \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset box \family default will only print the image region within the given coordinates.

Settings grouping \end_layout \end_inset Images within such a group share their settings, so adjusting one image of the group automatically also adjusts all other images of the group in the same way. So you can for example change the size for a bunch of images without the need to manually change each of them. Joining an existing group can also be done using the context menu of the image by checking the name of the desired group. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is an example image in EPS format \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Image formats are explained in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Image-Formats" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset within a separate, horizontally centered paragraph: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/mobius.eps scale 70 scaleBeforeRotation rotateOrigin center \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is the same image like the one above but in draft mode: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/mobius.eps scale 70 draft scaleBeforeRotation rotateOrigin center \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Newpage newpage \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Figure Floats \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Figure-Floats" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Floats !

It is important to use references to floats, rather than using vague references like \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset the figure above \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , because as LaTeX will reposition the floats in the final document, it might not be \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset above \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset at all. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Referencing is explained in detail in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Referencing-Floats" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Normally only one image is inserted to a figure float, but sometimes you might want to use two images with separate subcaptions. This can be done by inserting image floats into existing image floats. Note that only the main caption of the float is added to the List of Figures. Figure \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "fig:Two-distorted-images" \end_inset is an example of a figure float with two images set side by side.

But as explained in appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cha:Output-File-Formats" \end_inset , every output document format allows only a few image formats. LyX uses therefore the program \family typewriter Imagemagick \family default in the background to convert the images to the right format. To increase your work flow by avoiding these conversions in the background, you can use only the image formats that can directly be embedded in the output file format. The output file formats are explained in appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cha:Output-File-Formats" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Similar to fonts there are two types of image formats: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Bitmap \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset images consist of pixel values, often in a compressed form.

The toolbar button offers you a graphical selection: Move the mouse to set the column/row number of the table that should be created and then press a mouse button. When you use the menu to create a table, a dialog will appear, asking you for the number of rows and columns. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset The default table has lines around any cell and the first row appears separated from the rest of the table.

Calculation \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LaTeX calculates the height of table pages and their page breaks using so called chunks. Chunks are pieces of the tables that are at once in LaTeX's memory. The default value is historically set to only 20 table rows. If you are using longtables with many pages this may slow down the creation of your document. You can safely increase the chunk size to values of 100-1000 by adding this command line to your document preamble: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash setcounter{LTchunksize}{100} \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Floats and Longtables \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Longtables ! Floats \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There might be problems when a float appears on the same page where a longtable starts. To avoid such situation, add the command \series bold \backslash clearpage \series default as TeX-Code before your longtable. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Forced Page Breaks \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Longtables ! Forced Page Breaks \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By default tables are only broken between rows. If you have a cell with multiples lines and want to have a page break within the cell, insert the new line command \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \series bold \backslash \backslash \series default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset as TeX-Code at this point of the cell where it should be broken. Before the \series bold \backslash \backslash \series default command you have to insert in TeX-Code so many \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \series bold & \series default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset characters like the number of the following table columns. The \series bold & \series default is the character to separate table cells. Write in TeX-Code after each \series bold & \series default the content of the corresponding following cell and delete the content of these cells. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Behind the the \series bold \backslash \backslash \series default command, insert so many \series bold & \series default characters like the number of table columns before the current column. In Table \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "tab:ForcedPagebreak" \end_inset the cell that should be broken is in the second column followed by another column. Therefore the following command was inserted in the cell as TeX-Code behind \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \emph on Castelchiodato, \emph default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset : \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold & 111 \backslash \backslash \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset & \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset 111 \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in the third columns of the row was deleted. If your footer row of the longtable has for a certain reason no upper line but you would have a horizontal line where the cell is broken, use this command instead: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold & 111 \backslash \backslash \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \backslash hline & \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When the cell to be broken is in the last column, the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash setlength{ \backslash parfillskip}{0pt} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard must be inserted as TeX-Code at the beginning of the cell.

In the appearing table dialog we set a cell width of 2.5 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset cm and choose centered for the vertical and horizontal alignment. The vertical alignment is used for all cells of the row. As our text is smaller than than 2.5 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset cm, only one line will appear. To get two lines, a justified line break (shortcut \family sans Ctrl-Shift-Return \family default ) was added. If the text is wider than the set cell width, it will automatically be broken to several lines. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you have a long word in a cell with a fixed width, it cannot be hyphenated by LaTeX if it is the first entry.

Introduction \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A float is a block of text associated with some sort of label, which doesn't have a fixed location.

Images and tables can evenly be spread to the pages to avoid white space and pages without text. As the floating often destroys the context between the text and the image/table , every float can be referenced in the text. Floats are therefore numbered. Referencing is described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Referencing-Floats" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To insert a float, use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Float \family default . This inserts the \family sans Caption \family default inset, a box with a label. The label will automatically be translated to the document language in the output. Behind the label you can insert the caption text. The image or table is inserted above or below the caption in a separate paragraph within the float. More about the caption placement is described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Caption-Placement" \end_inset . To keep your LyX-document readable, you can open and close the float box by left-clicking on the box label. A closed float box looks like this: \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/floatQt4.png scale 70 scaleBeforeRotation \end_inset -- a gray button with a red label. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard It is recommended to insert floats as a separate paragraph to avoid possible LaTeX-errors that can occur when the surrounding text is specially formatted. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Existing figures or tables can be put into a float by marking them and then pressing the corresponding toolbar button for a new float. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Float Types \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Besides figure and table floats that are described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Figure-Floats" \end_inset and \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Table-Floats" \end_inset , respectively, LyX offers the float types \series bold Algorithm \series default and \series bold Wrap \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Algorithm Floats \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Floats !

To avoid this the LaTeX-command \series bold \backslash suppressfloats \series default can be used. It suppresses a given float placement for the page where it is inserted and can therefore be used to avoid that floats could be set before a section starts.

Nevertheless you can use any other image format, because LyX converts them in the background to one of these formats.

So this export variant consist of three conversions. \end_layout \begin_layout Description PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (dvipdfm) This uses the program \family typewriter dvipdfm \family default that converts your file in the background to DVI and in a second step to PDF. \end_layout \begin_layout Description PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (pdflatex) This uses the program \family typewriter pdftex \family default that converts your file directly to PDF. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard It is recommended to use \family sans PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (pdflatex) \family default because \family typewriter pdftex \family default supports all features of actual PDF-versions, is quick and works stable without problems. The program \family typewriter dvipdfm \family default is not under development and therefore a bit outdated. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can view your document as PDF via the \family sans View \family default menu or by using the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/buffer-view_pdf2.png scale 85 scaleBeforeRotation \end_inset \family sans ( \family default that uses \family sans PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (pdflatex) \family default ). \end_layout \begin_layout Chapter Explanation of Equation \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Wgn" \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "cha:Explanation-of-Equation" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The total width of \emph on n \emph default table cells \begin_inset Formula $W_{\mathrm{tot\, n}}$ \end_inset can be calculated to \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} W_{\mathrm{tot}\, n}=n\cdot(W_{g\, n}+2\cdot\backslash\mbox{tabcolsep})+(n+1)\cdot\backslash\mbox{arrayrulewidth}\label{eq:Wtot_n}\end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Where \begin_inset Formula $W_{g\, n}$ \end_inset is the given width of all cells. \series bold \backslash tabcolsep \series default is the LaTeX-length between the cell text and the cell border, its default value is 6 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset pt. \series bold \backslash arrayrulewidth \series default is the thickness of the cell border line, the default is 0.4 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset pt. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Following equation \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Wtot_n" \end_inset , the total width of a multicolumn \begin_inset Formula $W_{\mathrm{tot\, mult}}$ \end_inset is \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} W_{\mathrm{tot\, mult}}=W_{g\,\mathrm{mult}}+2\cdot\backslash\mbox{tabcolsep}+2\cdot\backslash\mbox{arrayrulewidth}\label{eq:Wtot_mult}\end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By setting equation \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Wtot_n" \end_inset and \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Wtot_mult" \end_inset equal we can calculate the needed given width \begin_inset Formula $W_{g\, n}$ \end_inset when \emph on n \emph default columns are spanned, so that each column has a total width of \begin_inset Formula $W_{\mathrm{tot\, mult}}/n$ \end_inset : \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} W_{g\, n}=(W_{g\,\mathrm{mult}}+(1-n)\cdot(2\cdot\backslash\mbox{tabcolsep}+\backslash\mbox{arrayrulewidth}))/n\end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "latexcompanion" \end_inset Frank Mittelbach and Michel Goossens: \emph on The LaTeX Companion Second Edition. \emph default Addison-Wesley, 2004 \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "latexguide" \end_inset Helmut Kopka and Patrick W.
