[Tex/LaTex] Mathematica Diagrams in LyX

lyxwolfram-mathematica

Is is possible to use diagrams from Mathematica and put them in a LyX document?

This is not just restricted to a graph or table. Also, I am wondering if one can import diagrams from wolframalpha to LyX, as wolfram is considerably easier to use than mathematica.

Yes, because wolfram alpha (pro) can export to PDF: http://www.wolframalpha.com/pro/ In LyX, just go to insert > graphics and then browse to find your PDF.

Well, ideally, if you use TikZ + PGFPlots, then you can basically do many things. We might elaborate if you have a particular example in mind.

[Tex/LaTex] LyX and Nomenclatures

This has nothing to do with LyX in the first place, it is just nomencl’s standard behaviour. The \nomenclature command just stores the entry for the list, but it does not print any text. However, you can redefine the \nomenclature command in order to print the text as well. You could, for instance, put the following in the preamble of your document:

\let\nomenclOrig\nomenclature
\renewcommand*{\nomenclature}[3][]{#2\nomenclOrig[#1]{#2}{#3}}

The first line stores the \nomenclature command in \nomenclOrig. This is necessary, since we have to redefince the \nomenclature command. This is done in the second line. Since the \nomenclature command has two mandatory arguments and one optional argument, we have to specify 3 arguments (the [3] bit). The optional argument has no standard value (the [] bit). Then we print the second argument (which is the first mandatory argument, since the optional argument is always #1) as normal text and use the original command that we have stored in \nomenclOrig.

I tried this with LyX, without problems. Note, though, that the two lines will give an error in a document without a nomenclature entry or list, because then LyX will not load the nomencl package and thus the \renewcommand will throw an error.
