LyX ⇒ Insert (n×n) Matrices directly

[zukimaten]

Hi you guys!

I wonder if there is a straight way of inserting nxn-size matrices in math mode without using the menu or adding lines and row one at the time.

That is i wan't to be able to write \bmatrix (something) where this something is me specifying the number of rows and columns directly.

I hope some of you are able to help.

Thank you,

Henrik

Hi Henrik,

welcome to the board!

You could simply write LaTeX code in ERT, no need to specify columns or rows:

Code: Select all

\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 2 \\
3 & 4
\end{bmatrix}

Wow thanks for the fast response!

I haven't used ERT before, how is the most convenient way of inserting it?

I understand why learing ERT is smart, but if there is a "LyX" way of doing it i would like to know that aswell.

best regards,
Henrik
