make lyx ignore left margin to center wide images

2008-10-22 Thread keeskooskaas

I have a figure placing problem which i cannot find a solution to. I need to
include a figure in my text that is very detailed.Therefore I need the
picture to be scaled wider then the text (via scaling 120% of textwidth or
95% of page width) This works,... but the image shifts to to RIGHT as soon
as the left side of IMAGE hits the lext margin of the Text/page.  In other
words it no longer centers because it hit the left margin, it continues
scaling to the right but not the left.HOWEVER I WANT IT TO GO FURTHER
LEFT THEN THE TEXT MARGIN (see image)

I realise this is estheticly not ideal but I need to do it anyway :-)

If somebody knows what to do.. many thanks!

There are a few options to solve the issue. I personally prefer the  
most straight forward ones, which are:
A) Rotate the Figure float: Right-click on the Float:Figure inset -  
Settings - check Rotate sideways
Another option is to rotate the actual graphic inside the float: Right- 
click on the figure - Settings - Angle (degrees) = 90

B) If rotating is not an option, edit the figure so that text is  
readable in the scale you want (say 100% column width) and
rearrange the graphic blocks to fit.

You could change the margin settings for that particular page, but you  
don't want to go there.
