Was it as simple as the figure being a bit wider than the text, and getting trimmed? When I get a figure that oversteps its bounds Lyx (or LaTeX) seems to want to left-justify it -- if you moved the bounding box to the left margin that may have fixed it (or it may have just made it shift slightly to the _left_, up against the right margin).
Tim, I don't think it was simple. When I previewed the document all was visible and centered above the figure caption. When the document was compiled with pdflatex the resulting figure was shifted slightly to the right. When I inserted the figure and elected to trim to the bounding box as reported by the graphic file the lower left corner was inset by 36 pixels in both directions. Since that was the default I left it. Most figures I insert (regardless of format) have the origin at 0,0. Shifting the origin from 36,36 to 0,0 kept the compiled document from shifting the figure. Shrug. Thanks, Rich
