LyX ⇒ beamer problem:: cannot insert logo + delete navigation bars

[wuming]

Hi,

I want to insert a logo into a couple of slides but I fail.

I go with::

Code: Select all

\pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{institution-logo}{institution-logo-Picture2}
\logo{\pgfuseimage{institution-logo}} 

where institution-logo-Picture2.png is the logo file
and institution-logo is the alias.
HAve also looked at similar
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... =26&t=1790

I am on a mac and use pdflatex to build.
Note also that I just use a template that comes together with beamer.

As for the navigation bars, the content I want to delete is:
Surface Reconstruction of Coherent Deformable
3D Scans & Topological Recovery .

The situation is depicted in the attached files.

It might sound hopeless, but I do not know where to look for
the logfile that lyx generates..

Thanks for any help
Cheers!

ps. I had inserted logo + deleted navigation bars successfully
in a previous slideshow that I lost and I cannot remember what I did... especially for the latter since I tweaked many themes in the preamble
since then.

to any moderator::

Is there any more relevant beamer user-group
that I should post my issue?

Cheers

Unfortunately this community lacks members that are really advanced LyX users who could give advice regarding your issue. But perhaps you will find help on the LyX User Mailing List. Of course you are welcoming to share any new insights with us.

However, the second issue might be solved by modifications to the used theme. The beamer manual should give some information about that.


Best regards
Thorsten

Hi everybody,

I have exactly the same problem using LyX and MikTeX on Windows: my institution logo is not shown (only a rectangle with the filename). However, if I use THE SAME .lyx file on Linux it compiles and shows OK. Perhaps we have to reconfigure any options of MikTeX? I'm desperate...

Hi efcarrasco,

welcome to the forum!

I guess you are using the draft mode, so just the file name of the image would be shown. Or, you got spaces in the image file name. Take one without spaces, or load the package grffile in the preamble, which means add \usepackage{grffile}.

If this does not help, please post the file with the extension .log, produced by LyX/ LaTeX, as attachment here.
