I suggest that you look at the user manual that comes with LyX:
Help -> User's Guide
Help -> Embedded Objects
All of your questions should be answered there.

Hi there,

Just started dabbling with LaTex and Lyx. I understand how to format a
figure in LaTex, for example, to have my diagram the same width as the
column of text, I type something like:

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

or to get it x% of the column width

\includegraphics[width=x\columnwidth]{figure.jpg}

But how do I do this in Lyx?

Also, I'd like to know how to get, for example, two separate figures  
side by

side, each 50% (or less) the width of the column of text. Would it be
possible for Lyx to label them Figure 1(a) and (b) automagically?

I tried searching for an answer, but didn't find anything I could
understand. I hope you can help!

Thanks in advance!

  Assuming you have your figures in floats, click on the figure itself and
the graphics dialog box opens. It has three tabs: Graphics, Clipping, and
LaTeX and LyX.

  The middle box on the Graphics tab lets you adjust the width of the figure
on output. You can also change the displayed width.

  I'm sure there's something in one of the tutorials or user guides on this.
