To get a good result you need to write in a 297x210mm portrait... So I wrote a script to plug a set of xfig viewgraphs in pdf.

Re: fullscreen landscape foils
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: fullscreen landscape foils Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 00:17:58 +0100 Hi, How do I get to show foiltex foils full screen in landscape mode on Linux/unix ? (like the PPT'eers do ;-) I use Lyx 1.3 to produce foils that uses latex to make ps which i use ghost-script-6.0 (ps2pdf) to make pdf and the acroread 4.0 to show the pdf full screen.That's great for portrait mode, but does not work with landscape. Acroread and gs show landscape on the screen rotated 90+ degrees clockwise like it would print it on the printer. Gv though shows the document in landscape with horisontal text as it should be - but it does not have the nice fullscreen-mode of acroread. Any suggestions ? Here is the ps2pdf command : gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$outfile -c save pop -f $infile Olav I've spent a lot of time fiddling with this problem to be able to use a video projector. I'm also keen on a solution... The Acroread doc mentions a menu popup which does not semm to be present on Unix versions. I didn't check, but it might be Windows or such specific. Any clue ? -- Jean-Pierre

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I'm sure I've tried this before. You have to rotate the page before the ps2pdf stage which tricks acroread-3.x. I found "pstops U file.ps file-l.ps" but the resulting document had blank pages. Actually "gv -geometry 1100x800 files.ps" was not that bad because my screen is 1024x768 and most of the borders get outside the screen. This may not work for 4.0. Doesn't acroread also have a "rotate" option in the viewer? None neither 3 nor 4 as far can rotate as I could find. [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: You should make the document "Landscape" from within LyX. Layout-PaperOrientation ( Box ) Landscape ( Radio Button ) I allready did that - but that lead to vertical text. This is however a nice way to print the thing.
