Ha! Easy! It took three months of quite intensive thought and coding to do
so.
Anyway, this being a 1.4.x feature, it isn't much use to you. You will need
to use some ERT.
<ert>
$$Resize $$Rotate
</ert>
<external inset>
...
</external inset>
<ert>
}}
</ert>
$$Resize is
\scalebox{0.5}{0.5}{
or
\resizebox{<width>}{<height>}{
where <width> and <height> are latex lengths (2cm, 20em, etc) or an
exclamation mark meaning keep the aspect ratio consistent with the other
scaling.
$$Rotate is
\rotatebox[<origin>]{<angle>}{
where <origin> is some combo of
default (centre)
t top
b bottom
B baseline
together with
l left (default)
c centre
r right
and <angle> is in degrees.
