Like this. Have a look at the External Material dialog, third pane 
("Size and Rotation"), where I entered the size as "80 Textwidth %".

ok, got it now.


Why you insert the figure a second time as a PDF is beyond me.

I sent a wrong lyx-file, the second fig should have been omitted.

The file you corrected gives me this error message:

#

I can't view it even if I select 'show output anyway'. I have to produce 
the pdftex_t file which I do -as mentioned before- in xfig by 'export 
the xfig figure as combined PDF/LaTeX (both parts)'. This is the content 
of the pdftex_t file:


\begin{picture}(0,0)% \includegraphics{Schrempf-Fig02.pdf}%

\fi\endgroup% \begin{picture}(8062,10221)(583,-9679) \end{picture}%


Thanks again, now I know what I have to do (the "Size and Rotation" 
pane!!!).

Thanks, Jürgen,
I think one mistake I made was, not to export the xfig figure as
combined PDF/LaTeX (both parts), which I now did. In the
Lyx:Graphics window I clicked Scale graphics (%) and changed the
output size from 50 over various smaller sizes down to 1 (%).
However, the figure pdf output does not change and is far to large.
This is the output I see on the terminal:

figure \ref{fig:recording of petal movement},

figure \ref{fig:recording of movement of single flowers}).

\begin{figure}

\begin{centering}


\input{Schrempf-Fig02.pdftex_t}\includegraphics[clip,scale=0.01]{Schrempf-Fig02}

\caption[Recording of petal movement]{\label{fig:recording of

in text.}

\end{figure}

May be I did not quite grasp what you ment.


You don't need to export the xfig figure to PDF. Just use the external 
template (Insert > File > External Material). This should work. If it 
doesn't, please send a MWE.

You can put it in the Scalebox inset (from the Graphic Boxes module).


Having said that, using the external material dialog size options 
should also work (and do so for me).

p.s.
I also noticed something very strange: There are more fig files in my 
document, but the pdf output of all of them is the first figure, which 
is much to large.

Now, if you change in the code preview the "viewport" (second drop-down list
on the left) from [Current Paragraph] to [Complete Source] or [Preamble
only], you will be able to see the LyX-written LaTeX preamble.

With Document>Settings>Fonts as

Roman:  Palatino
SansDefault
TT  Default
Math:   Automatic

I get the preamble:

\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}

i.e. there is no need for

> \usepackage{mathpazo}

in the custom LaTeX preamble (Document>Settings>LaTeX Preamble).

>> You can also try with setting Fonts>Mathematics: Times Roman New TX
> I tried this, but \lambda is not shown


Now found the difference: You put \lambda in \mathrm.

Unfortunately, support for upright Greek letters in mathematics is
limited in traditional TeX. Standard TeX and most mathematical packages
use either italic Greek characters or a text font without Greek letters
with \mathrm. This is why you get an italic lambda with LatinModern or
Times but a wrong (text) character with Palatino.

For background and details, see
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/isomath/isomath.html#oml-font-encoding

Do you really want an *upright* Lambda? This would indicate a
constant value or a physical unit (see, e.g.
http://old.iupac.org/standing/idcns/italic-roman_dec99.pdf).

If you put only the "max" and the unit into \mathrm, everything should be
fine (except for the missing space between value and unit).

Otherwise, see
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/isomath/isomath.html#how-to-get-upright-small-greek-letters
for options to get upright Greek in 8-bit LaTeX maths or use non-TeX fonts
with Xe/LuaTeX.
