Dear all I'm writing a thesis that uses a lot of rather large figures imported or pasted from different programs. At present I can't seem to view them in DVI or PS output, only in PDF, I'm curious to know why. Also one of them is longer than it is wide (probably a bit more than twice as much) and Lyx keeps rotating it 90deg to the left. If I rotate it to face the right way without overlapping or losing the caption (270deg from center top) it creates a large space between the bottom of the image and the caption. I've contrived a fix by changing the outlay so that it was more square, which works but is not ideal, does anyone have a suggestion for keeping long thin figures facing the right way?
I'm using Lyx ver 1.6.3 on Windows XP, using the report document class that I've tweaked slightly to meet my formatting requirements (but without adding any Latex preamble). I'm rather new to the whole thing so if there's some vital information I've left out or something obvious I'm overlooking please don't hesitate to point it out. Thanks in advance Bernadette .
