In LyX memoir class, 2-sided, single column, how can I place figures so that their outer edges line up with the outer edge of a wide (outer margin)? With figures 1.2cm from the edge of the page, they then visually define the wide outer margin. I want the captions (without caption numbers printed) placed on the inside of the figures or, for wide figures, in the wide margin under the figure.
I tried inserting the figure in a float, which then floats to the top of a page, as desired. However the figure caption appears always on the left and is justified to the left margin of the text, irrespective of whether the page is recto or verso. The figure just gets pushed right in response to the length of the caption. I need the caption on the “inside”, whether that is left or right. If the caption is below the figure, the figure can be left or right justified, but only to the text – not to the outer margin. How do I get justification of the figure to the outer margin – not to the text? Whether I set this up in LyX, in the LaTeX preamble or in TeX code, I feel that it should be straightforward and probably a common layout; but I cannot find the right documentation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, George (Legge)
