I indeed found that the correct Latex command to do that is 
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
...
\end{sidewaysfigure}
but I had to modify the exported tex file by hand. Wouldn't be an useful
option in the insert-->float-->figure command in Lyx?

I would suggest a very useful Latex document about figures (using
graphicx, rotating, lscape... packages):
"Using EPS graphics in LaTeX2e Documents" by Keith Reckdahl.
I found it in the CTAN (check epslatex.ps or fepslatex.ps for the french
version):
http://tug.ctan.org/find.html
So... only a suggest!

Greetings.

Try to put in the LaTeX-preamble \usepackage{rotating}

and then put in LaTeX-Mode before as first thing in the float
\begin{sideways}

then




Then again in LaTeX-Mode:

\end{sideways}

Hope this helps :)

Ciao Jürgen

Landscape figures

[Alessandro Coluccelli]

Hi there!

I'd like to insert a figure in landscape orientation (and the caption
too), but I want the page-number in the normal position (at the bottom
of an A4 page). I tried the landscape orientation in the layout
document, but (obviously) the page-number goes in landscape too.
Any suggest?

Thank you in advance!

How to Make Landscape Figures

[M. E. Smith]

What is the preferred way to make landscape figures in an article? I
have tried using \begin{sideways} ... \end{sideways}, but this does not
produce satisfactory results ("Figure" and number are not rotated.
Spacing is goofed up).

Thanks
