[Tex/LaTex] How to change the size of the institutional logo on Lyx- breamer

beamerlyx

I tried to use the following codes to insert logo in to my beamer, but they dont work with LyX.

If you have a file called "institution-logo-filename.xxx", where xxx
is a graphic format that can be processed by latex or pdflatex, resp.,
then you can add a logo by uncommenting the following:
%\pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{institution-logo}{institution-logo-filename.JPG}

I end up by using \titlegraphic{\includegraphics{uni-logo-filename}}

How to change the size of the institutional logo on LyX/beamer using above codes?

\includegraphics takes an optional argument where you can specify width and/or height, as in the \pgfdeclareimage code. Hence you can write

\titlegraphic{\includegraphics[width=3cm]{uni-logo-filename}}

To add a logo to the titlepage, you can use the \titlegraphic command in the preamble. Go to Document --> Settings --> LaTeX preamble and add

\titlegraphic{\includegraphics{uni-logo-filename}}

However, this can also be done from within the GUI. Add a new line after the author(s), and choose TitleGraphic from the drop down menu in the top left. Then you can add the logo as you normally add images, by clicking add graphic .

For me, this placed the logo at the bottom of the page. If the same happens for you, you probably have to redefine the title page template. Stefan Kottwitz provides the basic idea in How to customize \titlepage in beamer?

Copy the \defbeamertemplate part to your LaTeX preamble in Document --> Settings, and change it to suit your needs. I'm not sure exactly what you want to have, but the following produced something very similar to the template, only with the logo between the authors and the affiliations.

\defbeamertemplate*{title page}{customized}[1][]
{\centering
 \setbeamercolor{title}{bg=blue,fg=white}
 \begin{beamercolorbox}[rounded=true,shadow=true,sep=5pt,center]{title}
 \usebeamerfont{title}\inserttitle\par
  \usebeamerfont{subtitle}\insertsubtitle
  \end{beamercolorbox} \par\medskip
  \usebeamerfont{author}\insertauthor\par\medskip
  \inserttitlegraphic \par\medskip
  \usebeamerfont{institute}\insertinstitute\par\medskip
  \setbeamerfont{date}{size=\large}
  \usebeamerfont{date}\insertdate\par
}

[Tex/LaTex] Why is LyX trying to convert every image into eps

I had the same problem and my solution was: in "Tools -> Preferences -> Converters" consider the "LaTeX (pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex)" converter and set

latex=pdflatex

in "Extra flag". If this will not work, delete the converters section in your ./lyx/preferences file (in Linux) and restart LyX.
