sidewaysfigure wrong way around

[gle...@insect.sd.monash.edu.au]

Hi,

I finally got my copy of The LaTeX companion. Looked up formatting
figures sideways (including the caption) and tried it:

\begin{sidewaysfigure}[ht]
\centerline{\epsfig{figure=meta-system.eps,width=\textheight}}
\caption{Meta-system Architecture}
\label{fig:meta-system}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

But the figure is the wrong way around when I print it. The caption
is on the left side of the page when I want it on the right side of
the page.

Have I missed anything?

Also do I need the width parameter to epsfig?

Thanks for any help,
Glenn.

Hi,

I might be wrong, but as far as I can remember, the sidewaysfigure
package offers the option [counterclockwise] to be used as

\begin{sidewaysfigure}[counterclockwise][ht]
.....
\end{sidewaysfigure}

Hope this does the job!
