On Sat, 11 May 2019, Paul A. Rubin wrote: Wouldn't using dvipdfm save you the hassle of running pdftk on the output PDF? Paul, I've not used dvipdfm, only pdflatex. Or is there some other problem with the dvipdfm output? Over time I've learned that the default preview (^x ^p -> dvips) doesn't display rotated (landscape) pages; they start near the right edge of the display and disappear behind the monitor. With this document the landscape oriented pages did not display properly in the pdflatex output. I've no idea why, so I had pdftk rotate the problem pages for me. Since I regularly use pdftk it's an easy solution for many PDF issues. As an aside, I recently discovered pdfjam which I use to make printed web pages (such as many recipes) fit letter-size paper when the default PDF has a slightly longer page length which is cut off when printed. I can't keep straight the various ways that different LaTeX to PDF paths vary in terms of output, so I just run pdflatex on anything that can't outfight me. I settled on pdflatex years ago and ignore the others since this tool works for me. Some folks like to futz with their documents but I leave such tweaking to those who are experts in typography, page layout, and document design. I've standardized on the KOMA-script classes and Palatino for all body text. Best regards, Rich

All four approaches produced a table in landscape orientation. With the first and third (pdflatex and ps2pdf), the last page was "sideways" in the PDF file (meaning the text was "right side up" to the viewer but the "paper" was rotated).

These are appended to the main document using pdftk. My web searches found several solutions that apparently work well with LaTeX but the one specific to pdflatex did not work with LyX. The ability to re-orient a page from portrait to landscape ought to be included in LyX.

Now I made an opposite test on my old system (w/ LyX 2.1.2 and TL 2014): in a document which uses LuaTeX, I chose portrait orientation in LyX and the output was correctly oriented. So, some change in LyX and/or LuaTeX (under Linux) now prevents the choices made within LyX from being passed correctly to LuaTeX, whereas it worked before. Fortunately I found a workaround. -- Daniel CLEMENT

Luatex not previewing A4-landscape
Dear list members, While updating a PC under Debian, Lyx went from version 2.1.2 to 2.2.2 (and even 2.3.1 from Backports). I'm having an issue with some documents which need to be compiled under Luatex. They use landscape, A4, 2-column page setup and the issue is: whenever I try to specify custom margins, my preview reverts to portrait, US letter format. I checked that in the previewer, under document properties. This happens regardless of the document contents. TIA for any insight about that - best regards, -- Daniel CLEMENT

Hi,
it's obviously a LaTeX question, but clicking landscape in a document
results in this:
\documentclass[landscape]{scrartcl}
How can I test in the Preamble whether landscape is being used so that I
can sue a different font and fontsize?
Any idea?

Multi-page table in landscape mode
Reading Chapter 2 (Tables) in the embedded objects help manual I see an example of a table with the line, 'continued on next page,' but no instruction on how to insert that. The manual notes that lyx/LaTeX/TeX will break the table across multiple pages but that's not occurring here.

Clarification of how to get lyx to insert page breaks, or how to do so manually, will be really helpful. The second issue I've not yet resolved is rotating only the table into landscape mode. I am not seeing a menu item that does this. Clicking on a table cell, selecting 'settings' at the bottom of the menu box, and checking the 'rotate table' checkbox turns it clockwise rather than counter-clockwise and it's still trying to fit on a single page. IIRC, this needs to be done with inserted LaTeX. Reading Herbert Voss' Tables book is on this evening's schedule. If I've missed the proper menu and item to change table page(s) orientation to landscape please point me to it. Regards, Rich

Essentially, yes. If I specify a paper height of 11" and a paper width of 8.5" (US letter size), that indicates that I expect to print on tall/narrow paper. LyX passes page dimensions and landscape v. portrait to the geometry package. Functionally, the geometry package interprets landscape v. portrait as rotate/do not rotate the text. So flipping the paper width and height is essentially equivalent to switching the portrait/landscape decision, provided that you also swap margins when flipping paper dimensions. Paul

You are welcome. I like to leave the default page sizes as determined by LaTeX (in my case A4) and I only mess with the margins very little (using DIV in Komascript), unless I have really special cases.

I just placed the sizes into the Height and Width locations as they are presented. See attached. This is obviously wrong. Are you suggesting that height actually means width and vise versa? Height means the width of the page? You are quite correct. That works in fact. It would seem the height of the page is the width of the page if you indicate "landscape". How confusing is that, for me at any rate. But then I'm not clever, so it's counter intuitive, for me at least. So the height remains the height if you turn the page with the landscape incantation.

I could open the LyX file, but had to comment out the line loading the tgbonoum package (which I don't have). Hopefully that doesn't affect anything. With that done, I could compile the test document (I used a couple of different formats). It came out the way it was supposed to, but that may not be the way you intended. You specified a custom size of 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm width. That defines a page that is wider than it is tall. You also picked landscape mode, which means the output should be 22.86 cm high and 17.78 cm wide (taller than wide), which the output was. If you're trying to get output that's wider than tall, then either specify a wide page size in portrait mode OR a narrow page size in landscape mode, but not both. The text did not run off the page for me, but it ran right up to the edge of the page, consistent with your specifying zero margins on all sides. Paul Wow! I just checked the document and it was 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm wide. Not the other way round. But you reckon it was 22.86 cm hight and 17.78 wide which would be portrait? That's weird. Maybe others might quickly look at that document and inform me that they see what you see as well. That would mean my system LyX is really wrong and it may have to be purged and reinstalled? I did specify landscape, but I suppose you saw that when you looked in the Document->settings->Page format->orientation Well there you go. I wouldn't use adobe acrobat reader fortunately. But I might test it with that on a friends machine. Thanks for your input. Stay well, Charlie I was able to open the pdf file using evince 3.18.2, to me it was portrait orientation text wrapping at page boundaries. My version of lyx is too old to open the .lyx file, .. so opened it with a text editor and found. \paperorientation landscape \paperwidth 22.86cm \paperheight 17.78cm So Paul if I read your reply correctly you are suggesting in landscape mode the \paperwidth attribute defines how tall the page is and the \paperheight attribute indicates how wide the page is and the source of the problem?. So if I may ask 1) \paperwidth & \paperheight define the page as the printer sees it? 2) and landscape and portrait defines to latex how to print the text on that page? ... curious Steve

I may be of only limited help here. I couldn't open the PDF file (Evince doesn't believe it's a PDF, and unfortunately I don't have Acrobat Reader on the machine I'm using). I could open the LyX file, but had to comment out the line loading the tgbonoum package (which I don't have). Hopefully that doesn't affect anything. With that done, I could compile the test document (I used a couple of different formats). It came out the way it was supposed to, but that may not be the way you intended. You specified a custom size of 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm width. That defines a page that is wider than it is tall. You also picked landscape mode, which means the output should be 22.86 cm high and 17.78 cm wide (taller than wide), which the output was. If you're trying to get output that's wider than tall, then either specify a wide page size in portrait mode OR a narrow page size in landscape mode, but not both. The text did not run off the page for me, but it ran right up to the edge of the page, consistent with your specifying zero margins on all sides. Paul

Quickly did this as I had time, but previously only did in full page pictures. This time just text - please see the custom size. Quickly tried it in Memoir and Koma- article. Result the same. With a full page picture, landscape the picture goes out past the right page, with the text landscape it actually pulls it into the portrait boundary?

PDF (graphics) -> EPS = pdftops PDF (pdflatex) -> PDF (cropped) = pdfcrop PDF (pdflatex) -> PDF (lower resolution) = python PDF (postscript) -> postscript = pdftops And more of the same. No matter. I can work round it, I just thought there might be a better easier way. It works the way I described and might help others if they are having problems. Thanks at any rate.

Landscape document..........
From my keyboard:
Using Debian testing [stretch]
LyX Version 2.2.0
Qt Version (run-time): 4.8.7
Qt Version (compile-time): 4.8.7
Trying to write a document in landscape mode, but when I convert it to
a .pdf file with Okular.
It presents with portrait and runs off the right of the page. Even if I
specify the custom height and width of the pages.
To rule out Okular I have created the file as landscape in LibreOffice
and it showed up as predicted with Okular. Tried both with evince. Lyx
file showed in portrait mode .pdf in both. The LibreOffice showed as
landscape as it should.
To make it work in Lyx had to place: \usepackage{pdflscape} in the
preamble and [ERT in document] \begin{landscape} and \end{landscape} at
the end.
Can someone tell me the right way to do this?
Thank you.

landscape stops working!
Hello people, I hope someone out there can help me out please
I've got a piece of simple latex code in my lyx document,
\begin{landscape}
{\input{file.tex}}
\end{landscape}
and of course \usepackage{lscape} in the preamble
The file I'm inputting has a lot of floating tables (not lyx generated file)
The problem is that sometimes only the first table is in landscape mode, and not
the rest. It might have relation with the width of the table, still can't figure
it out, hopefully someone has an idea about it
thanks a lot

Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait
Hello yet again. I have a big table in my ms, which can only fit on the page if I put it in landscape mode. How do I do this for just one page, leaving the rest as portrait which is fine? I'm using Koma script Book and the table was generated by using insert float table Thanks again. Richard
Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait
in raw LaTeX there is a package pdflscape which allows you to set an
environment (\begin{landscape}..\end{landscape}. Content in between is
rotated, but headers and footers are left as per normal.
I have used this with a rotated supertabular which stetched over a few
pages. Don't know whether lyX can implement. may need some ERT

Humor me for a second...
If exactly one page is landscape, that page must involve special content that
must remain together always. If that's the case, maybe make that content with
other software and import a rotated pdf of it into your LyX document. From
LyX's point of view it's just one more portrait page, but the reader turns the
page sideways to view the content.

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait
I have checked across in the thread on floats, sub-floats SOLVED.
If you surround your table with some ERT
\afterpage{\clearpage
...
table here
...
}
One can then choose the option to rotate the table from the dialogue
box. This moves the table onto its own page, but this behaves as a
float because the text continues on the previous page, and onto the
page after the table.
Perhaps we are making it altogether too complicated because one could
just insert the float and rotate the whole table using the dialogue
box.
I think I couldn't see the wood for the trees because my test table
was a long table.

Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait
Hello yet again. I have a big table in my ms, which can only fit on the page if I put it in landscape mode. How do I do this for just one page, leaving the rest as portrait which is fine? I'm using Koma script Book and the table was generated by using insert float table Thanks again. Richard
Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait
in raw LaTeX there is a package pdflscape which allows you to set an
environment (\begin{landscape}..\end{landscape}. Content in between is
rotated, but headers and footers are left as per normal.
I have used this with a rotated supertabular which stetched over a few
pages. Don't know whether lyX can implement. may need some ERT

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait
Thanks for those replies. I tried this, and it compiles without
problems: however,the table is printed off the page to the right, except
for the first column.

Humor me for a second...
If exactly one page is landscape, that page must involve special content that
must remain together always. If that's the case, maybe make that content with
other software and import a rotated pdf of it into your LyX document. From
LyX's point of view it's just one more portrait page, but the reader turns the
page sideways to view the content.

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait
I have checked across in the thread on floats, sub-floats SOLVED.
If you surround your table with some ERT
\afterpage{\clearpage
...
table here
...
}
One can then choose the option to rotate the table from the dialogue
box. This moves the table onto its own page, but this behaves as a
float because the text continues on the previous page, and onto the
page after the table.
Perhaps we are making it altogether too complicated because one could
just insert the float and rotate the whole table using the dialogue
box.
