Well, I solved my own problem. For those interested, it was based on a dumb mistake: not resizing the image appropriately. For those who want their figures to share the page with text: the image has to be small enough to fit on one half of the page, no bigger (I believe).

Thanks for your reply.

However, I'd rather not post the class file, and I don't really know how to make a test case.

The strange thing is: the figure is in a child document, and when I compile the child document (using article), the image shares the page with the text. When I compile the parent ...

Hi all,

I'm having a problem placing a figure into my document. I am using a modified dissertation class, which must be part of the problem.

When I insert an image, no matter how small I make it, the figure always prints as a separate page (the page following the text where the figure float is ...

I have managed to find the source of the error, by methodically deleting sections of the faulty subdocument in order to weed out the guilty element.

I'll do that, unless anyone else has any recommendations.

Hi all,

I've been writing my dissertation using LyX, and I've been very happy with it so far. However I have an annoying problem now that I need some help in resolving. (I am semi-experienced with LyX, but really don't know much about what goes on "under the hood"...)

My document is crashing ...

I've just had the same crash when exiting Fullscreen. I'm not sure if this will help, but here's the Apple crash report (I don't know how to use gdb, sorry):
