Page Layout ⇒ Adding interleaf pages with an image

[mike1264]

Hi,
I want to ensure all chapters start on a right-hand page. I would like to add a picture to the empty interleaf page.
The picture I am using is smaller than the text area into which I am placing it and it is without any head line or pagination. It is a jpg format.
As I understand it, if the last chapter ends with a left-hand page, an interleaf page has to be added to ensure the following chapter starts on a right-hand page, which should be completely empty.

I am using the Koma scrbook in Lyx.

The code works fine until "{picture}" is encountered. I've a copy of the picture in the same directory as the document being used. I have added the name of the image file and its extension in the place of the word, picture. I have also tried adding the exact path to the image file. Nothing seems to work. The file can't be found and, the error tells me a numerical value is needed in {picture}.
I have spent hours on this - there is probably something (simple) I'm not grasping. Anyone have any advice?

My Latex code:

Code: Select all

\cleardoubleevenemptypage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\includegraphics
[width=\textwidth,%
height=\textheight,%
keepaspectratio]%
{picture}
\chapter{Chapter Headline}

Thanks,
Mike

OK Progress...

I've got as far as:

Code: Select all

\cleardoubleevenemptypage 
\thispagestyle {empty} 
\includegraphics [width=2in, height=2in, keepaspectratio] {wwlogo} 
\chapter {Chapter Headline}
%\cleardoubleoddemptypage 
%\thispagestyle {empty} 

And it places the image 'wwlogo'. HOWEVER, I can't figure out how to place the image say, in the centre of the blank interleaf page.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Mike

OK Done it!!

The following code places the image 'wwlogo' at the location -105,400,500,200 on the empty page. With patience it is possible to find the exact centre point of the page.

Code: Select all

\cleardoubleevenemptypage 
\thispagestyle {empty} 
\includegraphics [bb = -105 400 500 200, keepaspectratio] {wwlogo}
\chapter {Chapter Headline},
%\cleardoubleoddemptypage 
%\thispagestyle {empty}
