LyX ⇒ tikz blank in lyx

[md138]

Hey,

I am new to lyx having a problem using tikzpicture in lyx.

with the code:

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[red] (0,0) -- (0,1);
\draw[green] (0,1) -- (1,1);
\draw[red] (1,1) -- (1,0);
\draw[blue] (1,0) -- (0,0);
\end{tikzpicture}

I include in the preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tikz}

Yet is still blank in preview.

Does anyone knows how to fix it?

I use lyx 2.3.1 Hebrew

Welcome to the forum!

The code is ok.

Can you show us the .log file? You can post it as attachment here. The Attachments link is below the text edit field, when writing a post.

Or is it ok in the produced PDF, just not visible in the preview?

Hey,

Thank you very much for your answer!

It doesn't appear in both preview and the pdf (it does run successfully).

I have a attached the .log file.

Hi,

Have you maybe found a solution please?

Hi Meron,

you compiled to DVI, so LaTeX in classic mode, probably because of the eps images. Does it work if you compile with pdfLaTeX straight to PDF? That may be a LyX setting.

Hey,

Sorry for the late reply, what you said worked!

I have to note though that there was also a second problem, it is important that the language set for writing will be English, otherwise it will also appear blank (I mistakenly set it for Hebrew at some of the times).

Thank you so much, tikz is a great package in Latex and it was a shame for it not to work on lyx.

I really appreciate your time!

Best regards,

Meron
