Hi,

You can center scaled tables by enclosing them in

\begin{center}
\end{center}

See the included example file.

One thing I did find strange is that it would only
work when the table was left justified.  If I tried to
center and scale it I received an error during the
latex run.

So, at least for now, I have to settle for keeping the
tables on the left side of the page.

This is very helpful to me.   Thanks for posting this.

One thing I did find strange is that it would only
work when the table was left justified.  If I tried to
center and scale it I received an error during the
latex run.

So, at least for now, I have to settle for keeping the
tables on the left side of the page.

until recently, I did not know that it was possible to scale tables in 
LyX with the graphicx package. I've added something on how to do it to 
the Wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#toc17

Very nice. Thank you.

I tried to get this work with long tables but it doesn't work

I get the following error:

 \end{longtable}}
  
I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.

(See the  above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.


Well, long table didn't get the highest score on the PDF link you posted 
either.


Good day...

This is something I wish I had known about sooner.

In the past I have resorted to some tricks like
rotating the table to landscape, scaling the text size
or creating a new environment.   

Your example is much easier. 

Thank you.

How to scale tables in LyX

2007-05-28 Thread Christian Liesen

Hi,

until recently, I did not know that it was possible to scale tables in 
LyX with the graphicx package. I've added something on how to do it to 
the Wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#toc17


I got the idea from an excellent article on tables by Lapo Filippo Mori 
in the PracTeX Journal 2007, no. 1, which can be found here: 
http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2007-1/mori/mori.pdf So the credits are 
his, I only applied it to LyX.

P.S.: Many, many thanks to Jürgen and Uwe for dealing with the booktabs 
stuff! It works perfectly now in LyX 1.4.x.
