I find lots of discussions skirting this issue in the archives, but
nothing answers my question directly.
My problem is that while everything displays properly in a landscape
document I have when I use LyX's "view gs/dvi" menu option, when I
export to a *.tex file, then run LaTeX on it myself, and view it with
xdvi or gv, it is no longer in landscape mode. It still has the
original geometry, so all the text goes off of the edge of a portrait
mode page.
I assume that there is a simple LaTeX option, that LyX is using, to
force it to recognize that this is a landscape document. Or is LyX just
exporting bad LaTeX code? The beginning of my LaTeX file (as exported
by LyX) has the following...
%% LyX 1.1 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,landscape,letterpaper,tmargin=1in,bmargin=1in,lmargin=1in,rmargin=1in}
\makeatletter
which to my very limited LaTeX expertise looks just fine. I would
assume the geometry option would take care of everything, and that I
wouldn't have to resort to something like...
\documentclass[landscape]{article}
Any ideas?
