[Tex/LaTex] Making a math poster using LyX

beamerposterlyx

Is there a Beamer for LyX (or something analogous so that I can make a poster)? A code for a sample poster would be great.

If so, can one please leave some details on how I would go about adding this (I.e. do I add something to my LateX preamble, do I download a package)?

Related Questions:

  • Given a LateX source code, how do I enter this into LyX? I know how to turn my work into a LateX source, but I do not know how to do the opposite.
  • I also have MikTeX. I am not sure if Beamer can be used directly on that, but if it is possible, please give some details.
  • Does one turn the code/work into a PDF before making it a poster? If not, what would I convert my material to before I print out a poster? I have access to a facility that will print out the poster.
  • If I'm not supposed to use PDF for the poster, is there a way to see what my current work looks like?

Edit

After downloading the link sciposter.lyx in the "tread" in the comment below given by dcmst, I wanted to see what the sample looked like in PDF, but I got this error. enter image description here

  1. Though it is written for LaTeX (but LyX generates LaTeX), all the information in "How to create posters using LaTeX" might be a good starting point to get some impression what is possible.

  2. Possibly, with the package "beamerposter" you can use "beamer"...

  3. In the end (after setting up and writing your document), you can create a PDF file as usual. So you will definitely get a PDF.
