With a full page picture, landscape the picture goes out past the

I may be of only limited help here. I couldn't open the PDF file
(Evince doesn't believe it's a PDF, and unfortunately I don't
have Acrobat Reader on the machine I'm using). I could open
the LyX file, but had to comment out the line loading the
tgbonoum package (which I don't have). Hopefully that doesn't
affect anything.
With that done, I could compile the test document (I used a couple of
different formats). It came out the way it was supposed to, but that
may not be the way you intended. You specified a custom size
of 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm width. That defines a page
that is wider than it is tall. You also picked landscape
mode, which means the output should be 22.86 cm high and
17.78 cm wide (taller than wide), which the output was.
If you're trying to get output that's wider than tall, then either
specify a wide page size in portrait mode OR a narrow page
size in landscape mode, but not both.
The text did not run off the page for me, but it ran right up to the
edge of the page, consistent with your specifying zero
margins on all sides.

Wow!
I just checked the document and it was 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm
wide. Not the other way round.
But you reckon it was 22.86 cm hight and 17.78 wide which would be
portrait? That's weird.
Maybe others might quickly look at that document and inform me that
they see what you see as well. That would mean my system LyX is really
wrong and it may have to be purged and reinstalled?
I did specify landscape, but I suppose you saw that when you looked in
the Document->settings->Page format->orientation
Well there you go. I wouldn't use adobe acrobat reader fortunately. But
I might test it with that on a friends machine.
Thanks for your input.
Stay well,
Charlie
I was able to open the pdf file using evince 3.18.2, to me it was
portrait orientation text wrapping at page boundaries.
My version of lyx is too old to open the .lyx file, .. so opened it with
a text editor and found.
\paperorientation landscape
\paperwidth 22.86cm
\paperheight 17.78cm
So Paul if I read your reply correctly you are suggesting in landscape
mode the \paperwidth attribute defines how tall the page is and the
\paperheight attribute indicates how wide the page is and the source of
the problem?.
So if I may ask
1) \paperwidth & \paperheight define the page as the printer sees it?
2) and landscape and portrait defines to latex how to print the
text on that page?
... curious
