I guess that you have hit a bug (or feature?) of pdflatex. No. In this case the problem is the eps-file itself: Also when I convert it via Adobe Acrobat's Distiller, I get a rotated pdf-image that has the size A4. The size is the problem because the eps doesn't seem to have a border/bounding box. pdflatex doesn't know how to handle this so that you get different outputs. (On my machine epstopdf sets the size to A4, ps2pdf doesn't set the border, and GSview sets the border to A4 and produce a rotated PDF image.) So you need to produce an eps with borders around the diagram. Herbert, is my diagnosis right? regards Uwe

True, if I export to .tex and then run these programs. If I export from LyX directly LyX will convert the eps file to pdf, so the fault is not with pdflatex but with ghostscript as you already said (which was called in my case via "convert"). If I use epstopdf to convert the image it will not be rotated but go to the bottom of the page (probably because epstopdf assumes A4 paper size). Georg

Thanks again to those of you who are helping me with this.

first do not use an extension for file names. The
graphic driver can detect the right extension.
It is a typical behaviour for ghostscript, that it thinks,
that your graphic should be rotated to get your vertical
text in a horizontal view. ghostscript is too clever here.
Try it by hand, export the lyx file as PosScript,
then run
ps2pdf --dAutoRotatePages=/None filename.ps
or alternatively with --dPrePress=/None
Herbert
Sounds like good intuition, and I tried it: but Lyx won't export the
PostScript ("Cannot convert file" error). Same thing when I remove
the .eps extension.
eps2eps on my .eps file gives me this error message:

Sorry, I'm dumbfounded, gobsmacked, out of my depth, etc. I just
want to get my sweet little LyX working like she used to ... she was
so good to me before.

Re: orientation of .eps figures
Dear Uwe,
Thanks for your help.
This figure is still rotated in my PDF output from LyX.
My Mac OS X 10.4.3 can't open the PostScript file, which is strange.
dvipdfm (from LyX) continues to give me errors ("Cannot convert
file"). pdflatex rotates the .pdf file and gives me a "cannot convert
file" with the .eps file.
Maybe there's something I need to tweak in GhostScript?

Still, it remains the case that: LyX is flipping my figures around 90

I love LyX; it's simply fantastic. But it shouldn't flip my figures;
this is a bug that needs fixing.
