[Tex/LaTex] LyX: set width of image to 100% of page width

graphicshorizontal alignmentlyxmargins

When I insert an image into LyX and set it to 100% page width, its left side is not at the farthest most edge of the left page. Instead it starts where the text margin is, and since it's too large to display, it cuts off on the right. Is there a way to set a different margin for figures than that of the text?

The horizontal image shift is due to the paragraph indent if you don't place the image inside a figure environment. To avoid this without inserting a figure environment, insert an ERT (or Ctrl+L) just before the image that contains \noindent. This removes the paragraph indent so that the image will fit within the text block.

this works for me

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}  % Delete current setting for header and footer

\fancypagestyle{main}{% page style for normal pages
  \fancyhfoffset[R]{0.5in}
  \fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}

\fancypagestyle{plain}{
  \fancyhfoffset[R]{0.25in}
  \fancyhead{}  % Get rid of headers and footers on plain pages...
  \fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}  % ...and of the lines
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}

\fancypagestyle{empty}{
  \fancyhead{}  % Get rid of headers and footers on empty pages...
  \fancyfoot{}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}  % ...and of the lines
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}

[Tex/LaTex] multicols package set column width

\oddsidemargin is used on odd numbered pages and \evensidemargin is used on even numbered pages; neither of those is directly setting the right margin. To center your text with a \textwidth equal to 7.3 inches on paper that's 8.5inches wide, you should use

\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-0.4in}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{-0.4in}
\setlength{\textwidth}{7.3in}

That sets the left margin to be 1 inch minus 0.4 inches, which is 0.6 inches. That 0.6 inches plus 7.3 inches for text leaves you a right margin of 0.6 inches.
