How can I rotate an item into landscape mode in Latex?
If you wish to rotate one item (a table, or a figure or something), follow these steps.
1. Copy the rotcapt.sty file from /mit/consult/lib/tex/macros and the rotate.sty file from /mit/consult/lib/tex/macros to the directory where your LaTeX files are. For example: attach consult cp /mit/consult/lib/tex/macros/rotate.sty ~/ cp /mit/consult/lib/tex/macros/rotcapt.sty ~/ 2. Add the line \usepackage{rotcapt} after your \documentclass line. 3. Use the \rotate command to rotate the table or figure you want rotated. e.g. \rotate{ \begin{tabular}{|r|l|} \hline 1 & 2\\ \hline 3& 4\\ \hline \end{tabular}} or \rotate{\PSbox{acid.ps}{8in}{4in}} If you wish to center the box on the page, use the \centerline command: \centerline{ \rotate{ \begin{tabular}{|r|l|} \hline 1 & 2\\ \hline 3& 4\\ \hline \end{tabular}} } 4. For a caption in a table or figure environment that is rotated use the \rcaption command instead of \caption. This will put the caption at the right hand side (or bottom) of the page. \rcaption takes 2 arguments: the caption and the width of the caption. The width should be same as the width of the table or figure. e.g. \rcaption{17 angels dancing on the head of a pin.}{5in}
