Re: Center All Graphics
Thanks. That worked well. However, it still shows up in Lyx as left
aligned. Is there some way to grab the graphics in Lyx to do something like
for styles? For example, for styles I know I can
Style Chapter
Align Left
End
But is there a way to instead grab any graphics object?

I had a similar question, and I =rmember that I redifined the
\includegraphics - but I don't remember any details anymore.
See e.g. the thread "Re: Search and replace within figure settings?" in
this group for an example on how to include always a shadowbox - this
could be easily changed to center the included graphics.
Here the relevant extract:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
% from
%
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/70547/how-can-i-renew-includegraphics-to-always-use-shadowbox
\usepackage{graphicx,fancybox,letltxmacro}
% save the meaning of \includegraphics
\LetLtxMacro\latexincludegraphics\includegraphics
% pass the image to \shadowbox
\renewcommand{\includegraphics}[2][]{%
\shadowbox{\latexincludegraphics[#1]{#2}}}
In addition, I used the following in the preamble to make the graphics always
centered:
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{
\@float{figure}
\centering}
{\end@float}
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

From what I understand, LyX respects the class defaults, which in my opinion is what it should do. If you are writing an article for a journal whose document class has figures aligned to the left, they probably would not appreciate it if LyX changed that, or any other stylistic element. It would lead to an inconsistent journal edition. Best, Scott
Re: Center All Graphics
Centering the graphics in floats automatically is easy: Just add
\usepackage{floatrow}
to the preamble. I just made a module that does this and it's a quick fix
to everything. However, for this lab notebook I am making, I want to
quickly add graphics and not worry about having to center them or put them
into floats (and all of the formatting jazz that goes with it).

Re: Center All Graphics
Better yet, why doesn't LyX center graphics (at least in floats) by
default? It centers captions by default, so why not graphics? This
inconsistency has long annoyed me...

Center All Graphics
Hello,
I am trying to create a modification that will center all graphics
automatically. How would I go about doing this? I tried
adding \usepackage{floatrow} to the LaTeX preamble but this only centers
graphics put into floats. Any ideas?
