Dear Daniel,

As you can see by the results shown in the attached PDF, "pdflandscape"
rotates the page, not the longtable (look at the page numbers and the
test in the table). What I need is to rotate the longtable, so it better
fits with my data. Nevertheless, I thank you for your help.

Should this be reported as a desired feature? Or would it be a very
complex task to include in this developing cycle?

Dear Julio,

(Note: you are not actually using a longtable but a tabular.)

I think the result is as it should be. The page numbers never get turned with the content. This is because you normally don't want them turned since the landscape page is part of series of other pages in portrait. I have added some context so you see what I mean. If for some reason you want the page numbers turned as well maybe this helps?

        Dear all,

        I would like to have a long and wide table in such a way that
        allows me
        to optimize the space on my document. I tried rotating a
        longtable, but
        an error was produced. Then I defined my longtable and used the
        "pdflscape", which produced a rotated page with a non-rotated
        table. Is
        there an easy way to produce a rotated longtable in Lyx? Or should I
        produce table in LaTeX code?

        Thanks in advance.


    Hi Julio,

    So you want to rotate the content only on one of your pages, right?
    Otherwise you could just use Document->Settings->Page Layout->Landscape.

    For only one page with a rotated table I had no problems with using

    \usepackage{pdflscape}

    in the Preamble and an ERT with

    \begin{landscape}

    before and

    \end{landscape}

    after the table. Notice that for it to work you have to disable
    Landscape in the document Settings. (Otherwise you get a
    double-rotation.)

    If it does not work maybe you can send an example file.
