\series bold arydshln \series default and \series bold marginnote \series default must be installed. If they are not installed you can export the document anyway but the sections where the packages are required won't appear in the output. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The latest PDF-version of this document can be found here: \newline \series bold http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocumentationDevelopment#EmbeddedObjects \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Chapter Figures \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "cha:Figures" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Figures" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Graphics|see{Figures}" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Graphics Dialog \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Figures ! Graphics Dialog" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:Graphics-Dialog" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To insert an image into your document, place the cursor at the text position you want and click on the toolbar icon \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show-new-inset_graphics.xpm scale 85 \end_inset or use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Graphics \family default . Then a dialog will appear to choose the file to load. The image will appear in the output exactly at the position where it is in the text. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The graphics dialog can be called at any time by right-clicking on an image. This dialog has three tabs: \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Graphics \family default Here you can choose an image file and adjust its appearance in the output. The available units for the image size are explained in appendix\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "cha:Units-available-in" \end_inset . \newline You can rotate images counter-clockwise by setting a rotation angle and a rotation origin. The image will also be rotated inside LyX. \newline Images can be scaled by using a percentage value or by setting the width and height explicitly. 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. \newline 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\InsetSpace ~ from\InsetSpace ~ File \family default . The option \family sans Clip\InsetSpace ~ to\InsetSpace ~ bounding\InsetSpace ~ box \family default will only print the image region within the given coordinates. Normally you don't need to take care about image coordinates and can ignore this tab. \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Extra\InsetSpace ~ options \family default In this tab you can modify the appearance of the image within LyX and set the image to be a subfigure of a figure float with an own caption. Subfigures are explained in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Figure-Floats" \end_inset . \newline LaTeX experts can also specify on this tab additional LaTeX options. \newline The option \family sans Draft\InsetSpace ~ mode \family default makes the image appear in the output only as a frame with the size of the image. \newline The \family sans Don't\InsetSpace ~ unzip\InsetSpace ~ on\InsetSpace ~ export \family default option only affects zipped EPS-graphics, e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{} g.\InsetSpace ~ \emph on x.eps.gz \emph default . When the option is used the images will not be unzipped on export, since LaTeX can handle them as they are. \newline Zipped EPS-graphics are useful to save disk space when you choose PostScript as output format, see appendix\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:PostScript" \end_inset . To zip EPS-graphics, use the following commands in a UNIX-shell or a Windows console: \newline \series bold gzip x.eps \series default \newline \series bold zgrep %%Bounding x.eps.gz > x.eps.bb \series default \newline The second command creates the bounding box file \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset x.eps.bb \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset that is needed by LaTeX for zipped graphics. \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 Standard Image formats are explained in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset 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 display color scale 70 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 display color scale 70 draft rotateOrigin center \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Figure Floats \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:Figure-Floats" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Floats !

You can insert the image above the caption, like in Figure\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "fig:kill-plat" \end_inset or below the caption, like in Figure\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "fig:escher" \end_inset .

Figures can be referenced in the text by referencing their label. To do this insert a label in the caption using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Label \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/label-insert.xpm scale 85 \end_inset . You can now refer to the label using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Cross\InsetSpace ~ reference \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show-new-inset_ref.xpm scale 85 \end_inset . 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. \newline Referencing is explained in detail in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset 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 set in the tab \family sans Extra\InsetSpace ~ options \family default of the graphics dialog. Choose there the option \family sans Subfigure \family default and enter the subcaption for the image in the caption field. Note that only the main caption of the float is added to the List of Figures. \newline Ref erencing subfigures is explained in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Referencing-Subfigures" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Figure\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "fig:Two-distorted-images" \end_inset is an example of a figure float with two images set side by side. You can also set the images one below the other. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Float figure wide false sideways false status open \begin_layout Standard \hfill \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/escher-lsd.eps width 45col% subcaption subcaptionText "Undefinable structure" \end_inset \hfill \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/platypus.eps lyxscale 60 width 45col% subcaption subcaptionText "\label{fig:Platypus} Platypus" \end_inset \hfill \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Caption \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "fig:Two-distorted-images" \end_inset Two distorted images. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Image Formats \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:Image-Formats" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Image Formats" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Figures ! Image Formats" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can insert images in any known file format. But as explained in appendix\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset 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\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset 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\InsetSpace ~ images consist of pixel values, often in a compressed form. They are therefore not fully scalable and look pixeled in large zooms. Well-known bitmap image formats are \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Graphics Interchange Format \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (GIF, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .gif \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "GIF|see{Image formats}" \end_inset , \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Portable Network Graphics \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (PNG, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .png \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "PNG|see{Image formats}" \end_inset , and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Joint Photographic Experts Group \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (JPG, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .jpg \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset or \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .jpeg \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "JPG|see{Image formats}" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Description Vector\InsetSpace ~ images consist of vectors and can therefore be scaled to any size without data loss. The scaling ability is necessary if you want to create presentations, because presentations are always scaled by the video projector. Scaling is also useful for online documents to let the user zoom into diagrams. \newline W ell-known scalable image formats are \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Scalable Vector Graphics \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (SVG, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .svg \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "SVG|see{Image formats}" \end_inset , \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Encapsulated PostScript \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (EPS, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .eps \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "EPS|see{Image formats}" \end_inset , \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Portable Document Format \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (PDF, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .pdf \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "PDF" \end_inset , and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Windows Metafile \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (WMF, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .wmf \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "SVG|see{Image formats}" \end_inset . We wrote \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset can be \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , because you can convert any bitmap image to a PDF or EPS-image and the result will still be a bitmap image. In this cases only a header with the image properties is added to the original image \begin_inset Foot status open \begin_layout Standard In the case of PDF, the original image is additionally compressed. \end_layout \end_inset . The PDF-files generated by \family typewriter Adobe Photoshop \family default are for example bitmap images. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Normally it is not possible to convert a bitmap image into a scalable one, only vice versa. Only the image formats PDF and EPS can directly be embedded to PDF and PostScript output files, respectively. SVG and WMF-images are currently recalculated to bitmaps when the output file is generated because there is currently no adequate WMF/SVG \begin_inset Formula $\to$ \end_inset PDF/EPS converter available. \end_layout \begin_layout Chapter Tables \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "cha:Tables" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Table" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Introduction \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Table ! Introduction" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can insert a table using either the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-insert.xpm scale 85 \end_inset or the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Table \family default . 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. \newline The default table has lines around any cell and the first row appears separated from the rest of the table. This separation occurs due to a double line: The cells of the first row have a line below them and the cells of the second row have a line above them. Here is an example table: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Tabular \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none 1 \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard 2 \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard 3 \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none A \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none B \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none C \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard \end_layout \end_inset \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Table Dialog \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Table ! Dialog" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can alter a table by clicking on it with the right mouse button, which brings up the table dialog. Here you can adjust the settings of that cell and row/column respectively where the cursor is currently placed. Most of the dialog options also work on selections. This means if you select more cells, columns or rows, the action is done for the whole selection. Note that there is a difference between selecting the \emph on contents \emph default of the cell, and the cell itself. You can alter tables with the following tabs of the table dialog: \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Table\InsetSpace ~ Settings \family default Here you can set the horizontal alignment and the width of the current column. When you have set a width you can also adjust the vertical alignment of the current row. A given width will allow the cell to have line breaks and multiple paragraphs of text, see section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Multiple-Lines-in" \end_inset . If you set no width, the column is as wide as their widest cell content is. \newline Furthermore, you can mark one or multiple cells of one row as a multicolumn cell, see section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Multicolumns" \end_inset . \newline The rotate check boxes rotates the current cell, a selection, or the whole table counter-clockwise by 90°. The rotation is not shown within LyX, only in the output. \newline \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default Not all DVI-viewers are able to display rotations. \end_layout \end_inset \newline It is also possible to enter a LaTeX-argument which is needed for special table formattings, see section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Multicolumn-Calculations" \end_inset and \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Colored-Tables" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Borders \family default In this tab you can add and delete border lines for the current row/column. \newline Using the style option \family sans Formal \family default will convert the table to a formal table as described in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Formal-Tables" \end_inset . \newline You can also add here space to table rows as decribed in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Row-Spacing" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Longtable \family default This tab is to make a table a so called \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \emph on longtable \emph default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset that can run over several pages. Section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Longtables" \end_inset and \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Special-Longtable-Issues" \end_inset describe the longtable features in detail. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When the table toolbar is opened, you can move the cursor with the arrow keys from cell to cell and the property of the current cell will immediately be displayed in the dialog. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Table Toolbar \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Table ! Toolbar" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The table toolbar is an alternative to the table dialog to be able to alter tables faster. It should normally appear at the bottom of LyX's main window when the cursor is inside a table. You can alternatively switch it on to appear always, by right-clicking in LyX's main menu bar. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The toolbar has the following icons: \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_append-row.xpm \end_inset adds a row below the current cell or selection \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_append-column.xpm \end_inset adds a column right beside the current cell or selection \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_delete-row.xpm \end_inset deletes the current row or selection \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_delete-column.xpm \end_inset deletes the current column or selection \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_toggle-line-top.xpm \end_inset adds a line at the top of the current cell / row or of a selection \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_toggle-line-bottom.xpm \end_inset adds a line at the bottom of the current cell / row or of a selection \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_toggle-line-left.xpm \end_inset adds a line at the left side of the current cell / row or of a selection \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_toggle-line-right.xpm \end_inset adds a line at the right side of the current cell / row or of a selection \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_set-all-lines.xpm \end_inset adds lines around the current or selected cells - if the current cell no multicolumn this also affects the current row and column \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_unset-all-lines.xpm \end_inset deletes all lines of the current or selected cells - if the current cell no multicolumn this also affects the current row and column \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_align-left.xpm \end_inset left-aligns the content of the current cell / column \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_align-center.xpm \end_inset centers the content of the current cell / column horizontally \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_align-right.xpm \end_inset right-aligns the content of the current cell / column \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_valign-top.xpm \end_inset aligns the content of the current cell vertically to the top \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_valign-middle.xpm \end_inset centers the content of the current cell vertically \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_valign-bottom.xpm \end_inset aligns the content of the current cell vertically to the bottom \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_set-rotate-cell.xpm \end_inset rotates the current cell or selection counter-clockwise by 90° \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_set-rotate-tabular.xpm \end_inset rotates the whole table counter-clockwise by 90° \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/tabular-feature_multicolumn.xpm \end_inset sets the current cell or selection as a multicolumn \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default For the output the vertical alignment of the first cell in a row is used for all following cells in the row. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Edit Table Menu \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Table !

You can insert tables to the float above or below the caption. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Table\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "tab:a table float" \end_inset is an example table within a table float. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Having the caption above the table is the common rule that is unfortunately not supported in LaTeX's standard classes. That means if you are using the document classes \family sans article \family default , \family sans book \family default , \family sans letter \family default , or \family sans report \family default there will be no space between the caption and the table. To insert the needed space, add the following option to the load command of the LaTeX-package \series bold caption \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! caption" \end_inset in your document preamble \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard For more information have a look at section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Caption-Placement" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset : \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold tableposition=top \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The package \series bold caption \series default , which is described in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Caption-Formatting" \end_inset , is used to adjust the caption format. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "References ! to Tables" \end_inset Tables can be cross-referenced in the text by referencing their label. To do this insert a label in the caption using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Label \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/label-insert.xpm scale 85 \end_inset . You can now refer to the label using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Cross\InsetSpace ~ reference \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show-new-inset_ref.xpm scale 85 \end_inset . \newline Referencing is explained in detail in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Referencing-Floats" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Section Longtables \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:Longtables" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Longtables" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Table ! Longtables" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If the table is too long to fit on one page, you can use the option \family sans Use\InsetSpace ~ long\InsetSpace ~ table \family default in the tab \family sans Longtable \family default of the table dialog to split the table automatically over more pages. Doing this enables some check boxes and you can now define: \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Header \family default : The current row and all rows above, that don't have any special options defined, are defined to be the header rows of all pages of the longtable; except for the first page, if \family sans First\InsetSpace ~ header \family default is defined. This therefore called the main header. \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans First\InsetSpace ~ header \family default : The current row and all rows above, that don't have any special options defined, are defined to be the header rows of the first page of the longtable. \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Footer \family default : The current row and all rows below, that don't have any special options defined, are defined to be the footer rows of all pages of the longtable; except for the last page, if \family sans Last\InsetSpace ~ footer \family default is defined. \end_layout \begin_layout Description \family sans Last\InsetSpace ~ footer \family default : The current row and all rows below, that don't have any special options defined, are defined to be the footer rows of the last page of the longtable. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can also specify a row where the table is splitted. If you set more than one option in the same table row, you should be aware of the fact that only the first one is used in the given table row. The others will then be defined as \emph on empty \emph default . In this context, first means first in this order: \family sans Header, \family default \family sans First\InsetSpace ~ header, Footer, Last\InsetSpace ~ footer. \family default See the following

LatexCommand index name "Longtables ! Calculation" \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 LatexCommand index name "Longtables ! Floats" \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 ERT before your longtable. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Forced Page Breaks \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Longtables ! Forced Page Breaks" \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 ERT 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 ERT 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 ERT after each \series bold & \series default the content of the corresponding following cell and delete the content of these cells. \newline 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\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset 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 ERT 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 \newline & \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 \newline \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 parf\SpecialChar \textcompwordmark{} illskip}{0pt} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard must be inserted as ERT at the beginning of the cell. This assures that the part of the cell that will be displayed on the new page appears with the full width. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Tabular \begin_inset Text

In the appearing table dialog we set a cell width of 2.5\InsetSpace \thinspace{} 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\InsetSpace \thinspace{} cm, only one line will appear. To get two lines, we add a line break with the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash linebreak \end_layout \begin_layout Standard in ERT. 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. Therefore you need to insert something, to make the word not being the first entry: Add the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash hspace{0pt} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard in ERT before the word.

Now choose for this cell \emph on multicolumn \emph default , \emph on centered alignment \emph default and a width of 2.5\InsetSpace \thinspace{} cm in the table dialog. The spanned columns should have exactly half the width of the multicolumn cell, so that you would adjust a width of 1.25\InsetSpace \thinspace{} cm for the first column. The second column has then automatically a width of 1.25\InsetSpace \thinspace{} cm (multicolumn width - width of first column).

The reason is that the given width of a cell \begin_inset Formula $W_{g}$ \end_inset is not its total width \begin_inset Formula $W_{\mathrm{tot}}$ \end_inset because a cell is always a bit larger than its given width. Appendix\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand eqref reference "cha:Explanation-of-Equation" \end_inset explains it in detail. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The needed given width \begin_inset Formula $W_{g\, n}$ \end_inset when \emph on n \emph default columns are spanned can be calculated, so that each column has a total width of \begin_inset Formula $W_{\mathrm{tot\, multicolumn}}/n$ \end_inset : \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} W_{g\, n}=(W_{g\,\mathrm{multicolumn}}+(1-n)·(12.4\,\mathrm{pt}))/n\label{eq:Wgn}\end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In our case we have \begin_inset Formula $n=2$ \end_inset , \begin_inset Formula $W_{g\,\mathrm{multicolumn}}=2.5\,$ \end_inset cm and the default values for the lengths, so that equation \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "eq:Wgn" \end_inset becomes \begin_inset Formula \begin{equation} W_{g\,2}=1.25\,\mathrm{cm}-6.2\,\mathrm{pt}\end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To enable calculations in LaTeX, the LaTeX-package \series bold calc \series default must be loaded with the document preamble line \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! calc" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash usepackage{calc} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX does not allow to calculate lengths in the width-field of the table dialog. Therefore you have to format the column by inserting a LaTeX-argument in the dialog. Here is an overview about the arguments: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \series bold p{width} \series default creates cell with a fixed width, its text is vertically top-aligned \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \series bold m{width} \series default creates cell with a fixed width, its text is vertically centered \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \series bold b{width} \series default creates cell with a fixed width, its text is vertically bottom-aligned \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By entering a LaTeX-argument, all cell properties set in the table dialog are overwritten. \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default Due to a bug, LyX shows the overwritten properties anyway. \end_layout \end_inset As the text should be horizontally centered, the command \series bold \backslash centering \series default is added. You can now enter the following LaTeX-argument for the first spanned column: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold >{ \backslash centering}m{1.25cm-6.2pt} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The command \series bold >{ } \series default means, that the commands inside the braces are applied before the cell is created. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Although we have chosen centered alignment for the text of the multicolumn cell, it is still left aligned. This is because LyX only applies the alignment to single columns.

Then all entries of multirow cells in the document are centered. If centering is only needed for several tables, you can renew the command in an ERT box just before the table instead of the preamble. If the text should be right-aligned, replace \series bold \backslash centering \series default by \series bold \backslash raggedleft \series default .

Startcol is the number of the column where the line starts and endcol the column number where the line ends. The endcol always needs to be specified, also when the line should span only one column. The optional parameter trim could be either \emph on l{trimwidth} \emph default , or \emph on r{trimwidth} \emph default where the trimwidth is also optional. Using for example the parameter \emph on l{2pt} \emph default means that the line is trimmed from its left end by 2\InsetSpace \thinspace{} pt.

It can \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset float \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset forward or backward a page or two, to wherever it fits best. \family sans Footnotes \family default and \family sans Margin\InsetSpace ~ Notes \family default are also floats, because they can float to the next page when there are too many notes at the page. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Floats allow a high quality layout. 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\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset 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\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset 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 \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\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Figure-Floats" \end_inset and \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Table-Floats" \end_inset , respectively, LyX offers the float types \series bold Algorithm \series default and \series bold Text\InsetSpace ~ Wrap\InsetSpace ~ Float \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Algorithm Floats \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Floats !

References" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "References" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To reference a float, insert a label into its caption using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Label \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/label-insert.xpm scale 85 \end_inset . A grey label box like this one: \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/labelQt4.png scale 85 \end_inset will be inserted and the label window pops up asking for the label text. LyX offers as text the first words of the caption with a prefix. The prefix depends on the float type, e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{} g.\InsetSpace ~ for figure floats the prefix will be " \family sans fig: \family default ". \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The label is used as anchor and name for the reference. You can refer to the label using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Cross-reference \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show-new-inset_ref.xpm scale 85 \end_inset . A grey cross-reference box like this one: \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/referenceQt4.png scale 85 \end_inset will be inserted and the cross-reference window appear showing all labels of the document. If you have multiple LyX-documents opened, choose the one you are working on from the drop-list at the top of the dialog. You can now sort the labels alphabetically and then choose one. At the position of the cross-reference box the float number will appear in the output. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard It is recommended to use a protected space between the cross-reference name and its number to avoid line breaks between them. If a cross-reference refers to a non-existing label, you will see two question marks in the output instead of the reference. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can change labels at any time by clicking on the label box. References to the changed label will automatically change its link to the new label text, so that you don't need to take care about this. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The button \family sans Go\InsetSpace ~ to\InsetSpace ~ Label \family default in the cross-reference window sets the cursor before the referred label. The button text changes then to Go\InsetSpace ~ Back and you can use it to set the cursor back to the cross-reference. Right-clicking on a cross-reference box also sets the cursor before the referenced label but without a possibility to go back. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Cross-Reference Formats \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sub:Cross-Reference-Formats" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "References !

You will e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{} g.\InsetSpace ~ see the text \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans on this page \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset instead. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The number and current page of the referred document part in the output, is automatically calculated by LaTeX. The varieties are adjusted in the field \family sans Format \family default of the cross-reference window, that appear when you click on the cross-referenc e box. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Referencing Subfigures \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sub:Referencing-Subfigures" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "References ! to Subfigures" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Currently referencing subfigures is not supported by LyX, so you have to use LaTeX-commands. The label is the created with the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash label{fig:YourLabelName} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard that is directly inserted into the subfigure caption field. To reference the label add this command in ERT \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash ref{fig:YourLabelName} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard to the position in your document where the reference should be placed. Here is a reference to a subfigure: Subfigure\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Standard \backslash ref{fig:Platypus} \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Automatic Reference Naming \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "References ! Automatic Reference Naming" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The LaTeX-package \series bold hyperref \series default provides a very useful feature that cross-references automatically include the name of the referenced floats (or text parts like sections). You save to write e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{} g.\InsetSpace ~ the name \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Figure \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset before every reference box. To get this automatic reference naming, you have to load the LaTeX-package \series bold hyperref \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! hyperref" \end_inset in the document preamble with \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash usepackage[pdfborder={0 0 0}]{hyperref} \newline \backslash AtBeginDocument{ \backslash renewcommand{ \backslash ref}[1]{ \backslash mbox{ \backslash autoref{#1}}}} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold hyperref \series default is used to link cross-references in the DVI- and PDF-output, this means that the reader of your document will be able to click on a table of content (TOC) entry or on a reference and he will be shown the referenced document part. \series bold hyperref \series default also creates PDF-bookmarks for every section of your document to make it easier for readers to navigate through the document. This is also used in this document but when you have a look in the document preamble you will find various options in the load command of \series bold hyperref \series default . To learn more about the \series bold hyperref \series default package, we refer to its documentation \begin_inset LatexCommand cite key "hyperref" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default Automatic reference naming cannot be used when you use cross-references in the \family sans Formatted\InsetSpace ~ reference \family default style, described in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Cross-Reference-Formats" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Reference Position \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sub:Reference-Position" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "References ! Reference Position" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you use \series bold hyperref \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! hyperref" \end_inset to link cross-references in the output, you will see that clicking on an image float reference jumps to the image label. The caption will be the first text part on the screen, so that you cannot see the image without scrolling. This is because the reference link anchor is placed at the position of the label. With the use of the package \series bold hypcap \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! hypcap" \end_inset , which is part of the LaTeX-package \series bold oberdiek \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! oberdiek" \end_inset , the link anchor is placed at the beginning of a float. To use this feature for figure floats, load \series bold hypcap \series default in the document preamble with the line \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash usepackage[f\SpecialChar \textcompwordmark{} igure]{hypcap} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can also use \series bold hypcap \series default for all floats but this isn't recommended for stability reasons.

Placement" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Right-clicking on a float-box opens a dialog where you can alter the placement options that LaTeX uses for positioning the float. \newline The option \family sans Span\InsetSpace ~ columns \family default is only useful for two-column documents: If you select it, the float will span across both columns on the page instead of being confined to just one. \newline The option \family sans Rotate\InsetSpace ~ sideways \family default is used to rotate floats, see section \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Rotated-Floats" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can use one ore more of the following options in the float dialog to set the placement for a particular float when you uncheck the option \family sans Use\InsetSpace ~ default\InsetSpace ~ placement \family default : \end_layout \begin_layout Description Here\InsetSpace ~ if\InsetSpace ~ possible: try to place the float on the position where it is inserted \end_layout \begin_layout Description Top\InsetSpace ~ of\InsetSpace ~ page: try to place the float on the top of the current page \end_layout \begin_layout Description Bottom\InsetSpace ~ of\InsetSpace ~ page: try to place the float on the bottom of the current page \end_layout \begin_layout Description Page\InsetSpace ~ of\InsetSpace ~ floats: try to place the float on an own page \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The order of the above option is \emph on always \emph default used by LaTeX. That means, if you use the default placement, LaTeX will first try out \family sans Here\InsetSpace ~ if\InsetSpace ~ possible \family default , then \family sans Top\InsetSpace ~ of\InsetSpace ~ page \family default , and then the others. If you don't use the default, LaTeX will try only the checked options but in the same order. If none of the 4 placements are possible the procedure is internally repeated but it is tried to put the float on the following page. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By default, each option has its own rules: \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Top\InsetSpace ~ of\InsetSpace ~ page \family default only floats occupying less than 70\InsetSpace \thinspace{} % of the page can be placed at the top of a page ( \series bold \backslash topfraction \series default ) \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Bottom\InsetSpace ~ of\InsetSpace ~ page \family default : only floats occupying less than 30\InsetSpace \thinspace{} % of the page can be placed at the bottom of a page. ( \series bold \backslash bottomfraction \series default ) \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Page\InsetSpace ~ of\InsetSpace ~ floats \family default : only if more than 50\InsetSpace \thinspace{} % of the page are occupied by floats, several floats can be set together on a page. ( \series bold \backslash floatpagefraction \series default ) \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you don't like these rules, you can ignore them by using the additional option \family sans Ignore\InsetSpace ~ LaTeX\InsetSpace ~ rules \family default . \newline You can also redefine the rules with LaTeX-commands that are given in parenthese s behind the rules description above. To increase for example the often too small default of the bottom-rule to 50\InsetSpace \thinspace{} % of the page, add this line to your document preamble: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash renewcommand{ \backslash bottomfraction}{0.5} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Sometimes you might need, under all circumstances, a float to be placed exactly at the position where it is inserted. For this case you can use the option \family sans Here\InsetSpace ~ definitely \family default . Use this option very rarely and only if the document is nearly ready to be printed. Because the float is then no longer able to \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset float \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset when you change your document and this will often destroy the page layout. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are no placement options for text wrap floats, because they are always surrounded by the text of a certain paragraph. \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Sometimes you have the problem that a float is placed at the top of a page while its corresponding section starts at the middle of the page, so that the reader could think the float is part of the previous section. To avoid this the LaTeX-command \series bold \backslash suppressf\SpecialChar \textcompwordmark{} loats \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. To get this, add these commands to your document preamble: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash let \backslash mySection \backslash section \newline \backslash renewcommand{ \backslash section}{ \backslash suppressf\SpecialChar \textcompwordmark{} loats[t] \backslash mySection} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can define the same for all section headings, like chapters and subsections. This definition is not recommended to be used for small text parts like subsubsections because LaTeX may then have problems to find a suitable placement. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset In some cases it is required to have all figures/tables at the end of the document. For this purpose the LaTeX-package \series bold endf\SpecialChar \textcompwordmark{} loat \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! endfloat" \end_inset was developed. It puts all figure and table floats at the end of the document into own sections. At the original float position a text hint like \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans [Figure\InsetSpace ~ 3.2 about here.] \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset is inserted. The endfloat-package is loaded in the preamble with the line \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash usepackage[options]{endf\SpecialChar \textcompwordmark{} loat} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are various package options to format the created figure/table sections.

To rotate a whole float including the caption, right-click on the float-box and use the option \family sans Rotate\InsetSpace ~ sideways \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Rotated floats are always placed on its own page (or column, when you have a two-column document). They are normally rotated so that you can read them from the outside margin -- to the left on even pages, to the right on odd pages. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Referencing rotated floats is the same like for normal floats, the caption format is also the same: Table\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "tab:Rotated-table" \end_inset is an example of a rotated table float. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default Not all DVI-viewers are able to display rotated floats. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Float table wide false sideways true status open \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Caption \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "tab:Rotated-table" \end_inset Rotated table \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Tabular \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard test \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard b \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard c \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard d \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Standard e \end_layout \end_inset \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Caption Formatting \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Caption !

By default the label and the number are in the same font as the caption text and a colon follows the number to divide the label from the text. This caption format is not suitable for all document formats. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To change the default caption format, load the LaTeX-package \series bold caption \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! caption" \end_inset in the document preamble with this line: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash usepackage[format definition]{caption} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To have for example the label and the number in sans-serif bold font and the table captions always above the table like in this document, use the following command: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash usepackage[labelfont={bf,sf}, tableposition=top]{caption} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can also define different caption formats for the different float types.

You can therefore set hyphenation points and forced linebreaks to have long link text broken at the page margin. You are furthermore able to change the text style for all URLs in your document with an option in \series bold hyperref \series default 's load command and the restrictions mentioned above doesn't apply for \series bold \backslash href \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Chapter External Stuff \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "External Stuff" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator File \family default you can insert external material to your document.

Nearly all popular image formats are supported. The image can be treated in the \family sans External material \family default dialog like the images that are usually included via the \family sans Graphics \family default dialog as described in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Graphics-Dialog" \end_inset .

Child Documents" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Files ! Include" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Child documents are used when you have a long document consisting of several larger parts or sections. For maintenance it is often useful and sometimes even required to split the document in several files that can be revised separately. The different documents are then the so called child documents and a master document connects them to print the full document or parts of it. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Included documents are displayed in LyX as a box like this: \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/ChildDocumentQt4.png scale 85 \end_inset To include child documents to a master document use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Child\InsetSpace ~ Documents \family default . A dialog pops up where you can choose between four include methods: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Include You can include LyX and LaTeX-documents. When you press the \family sans Load \family default button in the \family sans Child Document \family default dialog, the included documents will be opened in LyX in a new file tab so that you can modify it. \newline \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is a child document inserted using \family sans Include \family default : \begin_inset Include \include{DummyDocument1.lyx} preview false \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The section numbering includes the sections of the included files in the order they are inserted in the master document. The included example document has for example a subsection that is numbered as subsection of this section. Labels of included documents can be referenced: Subsection\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sub:External-Subsection-1" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The preamble of the child document is ignored, only the preamble of the master document is used. Included documents are inserted starting on a new page and end with a pagebreak. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With the LaTeX-command \series bold \backslash includeonly \series default you can specify which included child documents are processed when the output is generated. This is useful when you are perhaps only working on a certain chapter of your large document as this saves compiling time. \series bold \backslash includeonly \series default is inserted to the master document preamble. It takes a comma-separated list of the filenames as argument, e.g. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash includeonly{chapter1,chapter5} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard will only process the included files named \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset chapter1.lyx \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (or \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset chapter1.tex \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset chapter5.lyx \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default When you have included a LyX- or LaTeX-file, you are warned when you export/vie w the document in case that the child document uses another document class than the master document as this will lead to unexpected outputs. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description Input This method is very similar to the Include method. The differences are: \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Input files don't start with a new page and don't end with a pagebreak. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Input files can be previewed in LyX when \family sans Instant\InsetSpace ~ Preview \family default is enabled in LyX's preferences under \family sans Look\InsetSpace ~ and\InsetSpace ~ feel\SpecialChar \menuseparator Graphics \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize The LaTeX-command \series bold \backslash includeonly \series default cannot be used. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Standard Here is a child document inserted using \family sans Input \family default : \begin_inset Include \input{DummyDocument2.lyx} preview false \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description Verbatim With this method every text file can be included. The file is shown in the output with its source code, no command used in the text is invoked. You can use the option \family sans Mark spaces in output \family default that displays the character \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Standard \backslash textvisiblespace \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset for every space character in the source code. The difference to the method via the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Plain\InsetSpace ~ Text \family default is that the document content is not shown in LyX. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is a child document inserted as Verbatim: \begin_inset Include \verbatiminput{DummyTextDocument.txt} preview false \end_inset \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset Here is a child document inserted as Verbatim using the \family sans Mark spaces in output \family default option: \begin_inset Include \verbatiminput*{DummyTextDocument.txt} preview false \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default As you can see in the examples above, the text of the documents included as verbatim is not broken at the end of the document lines. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description Listings This type is described in chapter\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "cha:Program-Code-Listings" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default Including the same document twice in a document using different methods could cause LaTeX-problems. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Chapter Program Code Listings \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "cha:Program-Code-Listings" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Listings" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Program Code" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "Floats ! Listings" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To include and typeset program code you can use the \family sans Listings \family default inset that can be inserted via the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Program Listing \family default . The LaTeX-package \series bold listings \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "LaTeX-packages ! listings" \end_inset provides a powerful and flexible way to insert program source code to your document. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When right-clicking on a listings inset a dialog pops up where you can set the listings format. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By default, a listing starts a new paragraph in the output. The placement option \family sans Inline\InsetSpace ~ listing \family default prints the listing inline like this: \begin_inset listings lstparams "language={C++}" inline true status open \begin_layout Standard int a=5; \end_layout \end_inset \newline The option \family sans Float \family default creates a listings float where you can specify the placement options \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans h \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans t \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans b \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans p \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset corresponding to the float placement options described in section\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Float-Placement" \end_inset . The placement options can be mixed and are inserted without any separation, e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{} g.\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans htbp \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset .

It is called \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset device-independent \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (DVI), because it is completely portable; you can move them from one machine to another without needing to do any sort of conversion. At the time when this file-format was developed, this was no matter of course. DVIs are used for quick previews and as pre-stage for other output formats, like PostScript. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Standard \series bold Note: \series default DVI-files doesn't contain images, they will only be a linked. \end_layout \end_inset So don't forget this, if you move your \family typewriter .dvi \family default file to another computer. This property can also slow down your computer when you view the DVI. Because the DVI-viewer has to convert the image in the background to make it visible when you scroll in the DVI. So we recommend to use PDF for files with many images. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can export your document to DVI by using the menu \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Export\SpecialChar \menuseparator DVI \family default . You can view your document as DVI via the \family sans View \family default menu or by using the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/buffer-view_dvi.xpm scale 85 \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Section PostScript \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:PostScript" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "File Formats !

PostScript was developed by the company \family typewriter Adobe \family default as printer language. The file contains therefore commands that the printer uses to print the file. PostScript can be seen as \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset programming language \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ; you can calculate with it and draw diagrams and images \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Standard If you are interested to learn more about this, have a look at the LaTeX-package \series bold PSTricks \series default \begin_inset LatexCommand cite key "pstricks" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset . Due to this ability, the files are often bigger than PDFs. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard PostScript can only contain images in the format \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Encapsulated PostScript \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (EPS, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .eps \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ). As LyX allows you to use any known image format in your document, it has to convert images in the background to EPS. If you have e.g 50 images in your document, LyX has to do 50 conversions whenever you view or export your document. This will slow down your work flow with LyX drastically. So if you plan to use PostScript, you can insert your images directly as EPS to avoid this problem. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can export your document to PostScript using the menu \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Export\SpecialChar \menuseparator Postscript \family default . You can view your document as PostScript via the \family sans View \family default menu or by using the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/buffer-view_ps.xpm scale 85 \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Section PDF \begin_inset LatexCommand label name "sec:PDF" \end_inset \begin_inset LatexCommand index name "File Formats !

The \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Portable Document Format \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (PDF) is developed by \family typewriter Adobe \family default as derivative from PostScript. It is more compressed and it uses much less commands than PostScript. As the name \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset portable \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset implies, it can be processed at any computer system and the printed output looks exactly the same. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard PDF can contain images in its own PDF format, in the format \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Joint Photographic Experts Group \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (JPG, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .jpg \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset or \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .jpeg \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ), and in the format \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Portable Network Graphics \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (PNG, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .png \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ). You can although use any other image format, because LyX converts them in the background to one of these formats. But as described in the section about PostScript, the image conversion will slow down your work flow. So it is recommended to use images in one of the three mentioned formats. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can export your document to PDF via the menu \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Export \family default in three different ways: \end_layout \begin_layout Description PDF This uses the program \family typewriter ps2pdf \family default that creates a PDF from a PostScript-version of your file. The PostScript-version is produced by the program \family typewriter dvips \family default which uses a DVI-version as intermediate step. So this export variant consist of three conversions. \end_layout \begin_layout Description PDF\InsetSpace ~ (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\InsetSpace ~ (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\InsetSpace ~ (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.xpm scale 85 \end_inset \family sans ( \family default that uses \family sans PDF\InsetSpace ~ (pdflatex) \family default ). \end_layout \begin_layout Chapter Explanation of Equation\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Wgn" \end_inset \begin_inset 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·(W_{g\, n}+2·\backslash\mbox{tabcolsep})+(n+1)·\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\InsetSpace \thinspace{} pt. \series bold \backslash arrayrulewidth \series default is the thickness of the cell border line, the default is 0.4\InsetSpace \thinspace{} pt. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Following equation\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset 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·\backslash\mbox{tabcolsep}+2·\backslash\mbox{arrayrulewidth}\label{eq:Wtot_mult}\end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By setting equation\InsetSpace ~ \begin_inset LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:Wtot_n" \end_inset and \begin_inset 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)·(2·\backslash\mbox{tabcolsep}+\backslash\mbox{arrayrulewidth}))/n\end{equation} \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset 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 LatexCommand bibitem key "latexguide" \end_inset Helmut Kopka and Patrick W.
