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

 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

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.

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

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.


SteveT,

  In my book there is one table that is wide but short. I set that one page
in landscape orientation while all other pages are in portrait orientation.
Worked just fine.

  I probably used ERT, too. It's been about 5 years now and I don't see
anything in the .lyx file, but I can see the results in the printed book.

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

2010-01-15 Thread stephen's mailinglist account
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.
