LyX ⇒ landscape & page numbers

[MeganGentry]

Hi,
I have a dissertation in Lyx (document class is article) and I have certain pages that need to appear in landscape instead of portrait. These specific pages contain long tables that won't fit in the margins in portrait mode. So I added \usepackage{pdflscape} to my preamble

\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\let\myLot\listoftables
\renewcommand\listoftables{%
\myLot
\clearpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
}
\date{}
\@addtoreset{figure}{section}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesection.\arabic{figure}}
\@addtoreset{table}{section}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\thesection.\arabic{table}}
\newcommand{\degree}{\ensuremath{^\circ}}
\newcommand{\thcentsignatureline}[1]{ \begin{center}
\normalsize
\vspace{8mm}
\vrule width 80mm height 0.2mm\\
\end{center}
\hspace{1.65in}}
\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}%
{-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
{1.5ex \@plus .2ex}%
{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}




%\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
%\pagenumbering{roman}
%\let\myLot\listoftables
%\renewcommand\listoftables{%
%\myLot
%\clearpage
%\pagenumbering{arabic}
%}
%\date{}
%\@addtoreset{figure}{section}
%\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesection.\arabic{figure}}
%\@addtoreset{table}{section}
%\renewcommand{\thetable}{\thesection.\arabic{table}}
%\usepackage{indentfirst}
%\newcommand{\degree}{\ensuremath{^\circ}}
%\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}%

%\usepackage{epsfig}
%\usepackage{multirow}
%\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
\usepackage{setspace}

%\pagenumbering{roman}
%\let\myLot\listoftables
%\renewcommand\listoftables{%
%\myLot
%\clearpage
%\pagenumbering{arabic}
%}
%\date{}
%\@addtoreset{figure}{section}
%\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesection.\arabic{figure}}
%\@addtoreset{table}{section}
%\renewcommand{\thetable}{\thesection.\arabic{table}}
%\usepackage{indentfirst}
%\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}%

\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{Figure }
\renewcommand{\cftfignumwidth}{5em}
\renewcommand{\cftfigaftersnum}{ }

\renewcommand{\cfttabpresnum}{Table }
\renewcommand{\cfttabnumwidth}{5em}
\renewcommand{\cfttabaftersnum}{ }

\renewcommand{\cftsecdotsep}{\cftdotsep}

\usepackage{pdflscape}
%\usepackage{rotating}

And then I inserted TeX code at the beginning (as in \begin{landscape}) and end (as in \end{landscape}) of the specific pages I wanted landscape. This created landscape pages. However, the page numbers are no longer on the bottom and middle of the page. Now they appear to the left and middle (see the attached screenshot). In other words, everything on the page rotates except the page numbers. How do I get the page numbers to appear consistently on the bottom middle position. Please let me know if more information about this problem is needed.

Thanks!

Hi, it's me again, I've done more searching on this and haven't found a solution.
But I'm not sure if I stated the problem clearly in my earlier post.
Basically, I just need specific pages to appear in landscape mode (which I have been able to do).
However, I need the page numbers to rotate with everything else, such that they are always at the bottom page, center position.

Thanks in advance!

Hi MeganGentry,

well I do not know how to rotate the page number, but I do have a suggestion When you add:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[headsepline, ilines]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}

the page number will appear on top of your pages, on the right-hand with an underline. Looks good, even when you rotate pages.
Give it a try, maybe you like it, too!

Hope that helped!
