Thanks for this, but it didn't do the trick. I changed the
preferences as you suggested, reconfigured, quit and restarted LyX,
but I'm still getting rotated figures.
Congratulations, you have found the egg in Ghostscript. You can
disable it
with with the undocumented option -dAutoRotatePages=/None... go to
Edit/Preferences/Converters/Postscript->PDF and change:
ps2pdf13 $$i
to
ps2pdf13 -dAutoRotatePages=/None $$i
or
ps2pdf13 -dAutoRotatePages=/None -sPAPERSIZE=a4 $$i
I wish the gs team would disable the egg, even if it is in acrobat
too. It
keeps on turning up whenever I've just forgetten how to disable it,
and then
since it isn't a documented feature I have to Google dozens of obscure
locations to figure out how to disable it. Ugh! Its kind of like if
KDE
decided to hog memory and crash every five minutes for better windows
compatibility... wait what was my point again? ;)
Perhaps LyX should disable it by default so users don't have
interesting
little surprises fifteen minutes before the deadline to email
something in
PDF format?
