Re: slides and landscape

[Alex Olivas]

i finally upgraded to 1.3.2 and am still having the same problem that 
landscape comes out
upside down when i export to postcript even when i remove the "-swap" 
from "gv -swap."  
the pdf looks ok when i read/print from acroread.  any ideas?

i also don't have an edit->preferences->file.
i do have an edit->preferences->look&feel,lang 
opts,conversion,inputs, and outputs.
we're probably using different versions?  yes, you're using 1.3.2 and 
i'm using 1.2.3.  i still didn't find any reference to gv or swap.

thanks,

i'm using the slides style in lyx 1.2.3 and would like them
to come out in landscape.  when i select Layout->Document->Paper->
Landscape it cuts off most of the slide and prints it upside down.
is there a better way todo this?

Hi,

When you say it cuts off most of the slide do you mean it cuts off 
roughly the right-most third?  If so this is because of the "-t a4" 
option that lyx sticks in when called dvips.  Someone has claimed 
that gs versions from 6.53 onwards don't have this problem but I am 
unable to

test this. (I am running redhat 7.3 and it appears to be almost 
impossible to upgrade ghostscript on it.) I simply have to export as 
latex and run dvips manually at the moment :(

The upside down problem is caused by lyx sticking "-swap" in the options

for gv. This can be fixed in edit->preferences->file 
formats->postscript->viewer where it should say "gv -swap" at the 
moment. Just change that to "gv".
Cheers,
Raphael
P.S. I am using lyx 1.3.2 but seem to have had the same problems.



 

Hmmm... All I can see from those examples is that the landscape is 
upside down.  As you are using pdf and not postscript my suggestions 
may not have been relevant.

If you have time/energy you could upgrade to 1.3.2 and then it would 
be easier for me/us to help you.
