Hello,

I am trying to rotate a figure.
I found two solutions:
Either I rotate the whole figure together with the caption

\begin{sidewaysfigure}

or I rotate the eps graphic with a graphics tool and use the

\rotcaption command.

Can please s.o. tell me what package I have to use in order to get
satisfied with the two commands above?
I just get the following:

! LaTeX Error: Environment sidewaysfigure undefined.

! Undefined control sequence.
l.10 \rotcaption

Hi Christian,

Do you have the rotating package installed? Otherwise find it on ctan.
Do you have \usepackage{rotating} in your preamble?

I am having the same problem. I have installed and updated the
rotating package, and I still get a message that says "Sidewaystable
environment undefined"

Did you say
\begin{Sidewaystable} ?
You should use all lowercase.

This works for me:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{document}
\begin{sidewaystable}
Blah blah blah
\end{sidewaystable}
\end{document}

Are you using "Sidewaystable" or "sidewaystable" as the environment name?
Case does matter.
