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.
It might help to know what formats they're in (EPS, JPG, ...).
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.
AFAIK, LyX won't rotate anything it has not been told to rotate, so I suspect this has to do with the orientation of the figure in its file.
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 haven't seen this before. Could you perhaps post a small example (just the figure file and a one page document that shows it with the incorrect orientation)?
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).
Do you have ImageMagick installed and on your system command path or listed in Tools > Preferences... > Paths > PATH prefix (so that LyX can find it)? If not, LyX will be unable to convert your graphics between file formats.
