Lyx preview: image inside TikZ picture


Well, I don't even know what a preview is...

it is LyX's instant preview. It is explained here for equations: https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/InstantPreview , but it works for many of the TeX code snippets that one inserts in LyX (the so called "Evil Red Text").

It works nicely for example for the ...

Lyx preview: image inside TikZ picture

Hi, thanks a lot for the answer.

I think I did not explain myself well. I am able to insert the image inside a TikZ picture (in the way that you said: I took the code from another StackExchange answer, this one: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/186389/how-can-i-annotate-an-image-with-arrow ...

MikTeX does not start in administrator mode

The following worked (hopefully I kept track correctly of what I did)

1) Install MikTeX for me only (not for all users)
2) Choose as installation directory C:\Users\%myself\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX 2.9

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9 did not work and also installation for all users did not work ...

MikTeX does not start in administrator mode

Thanks for the answer. As far as I see, to post there I need to determine that the crash I see is a bug of MikTeX, and I am not sure that it is; it might be caused by the configuration of the office computer, with network drives. If I were able to get some information on the crash, it would help ...

MikTeX does not start in administrator mode

Dear all,
MikTeX does not start in administrator mode. I get an error message (attached), which is not informative. How can I debug this problem? What should I check?

Thanks in advance!

The different things to press when an error happens, h or q , or s , or x are all documented. In the TeXbook. When you are interacting, you are interacting with TeX.
