Subject: orientation of .eps figures
Hi,
I have not had this problem in the past, but after some upgrading ...
My .eps figures are appearing in PDF output rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
I use LyX-Aqua 1.3.6, Mac OS X 10.4.3
Any ideas? thanks,
p.s. exporting the LaTeX from LyX and then running pdflatex from the
terminal gives me the error "Unknown graphics extension: .eps"
epstopdf "transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile so that it
is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate, and it sets a page
size
exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox. This means that
when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs no cropping, and the PDF
MediaBox is correct. The result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version
written.
If the bounding box is not right, of course, you have problems..."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SH: MikTeX (for Windows) uses epstopdf.exe
Linux might use the Perl epstopdf.pl
{perl} epstopdf.pl myfile.eps. [epstopdf.exe myfile.eps]
converts your eps-graphic file myfile.eps to the file myfile.pdf
Rotated regards,
Stephen
