Hi!

I'm looking for the method to rotate table at 90 degree. Namely, I want
to see only one table in landscape format because it overful. Please let
me know it in latex or revtex.

Ho Young.

I did it once with a separate tex-document for the table and included the
Tex-output as eps (ps2eps) into my final document. The fonts are the same
because both sources are TeX but in the final document the table can
be rotated and scaled.

I think the standard way is to \usepackage{rotating}
and then use the sideways table environment, eg

\begin{sidewaystable}
\begin{tabular}{ | l | l | }
...
\end{tabular}
\caption{...}
\end{sidewaystable}

\usepackage{lscape} % part of the graphics bundle
...
\begin{landscape}
\begin{table}
...
\end{table}
\end{landscape}

Happy TeXing!

I used the following solution to my table problems (I want to rotate a
table 90 on the page), but I have no luck. Using PCTeX32, with LaTeX.


The typesetting log says all o.k. (lscape.sty loads o.k.), but the dvi
view says "Unable to open graphics file". The dvi has the text for
the landscape portion, but it is in standard (portrait) format and
half off the page.

Any help here? I've read the graphics manual, but no help to me.

Specifically, I did the following:

\usepackage{lscape}
.
.
.


\begin{landscape}
% Try some simple text below
Test of landscape
Test of landscape
\end{landscape}
.
.
.

Nope, the ps looks just as bad as the dvi (no landscape, and the text
is pushed to the right, off the page)

lscape uses the graphics package to do rotation.
Make sure you are using the right driver option, pctex32 in this case.

The \special code that the package produces for rotation if used with
that option was supplied to me by the vendors of pctex. If it doesn't
work, you'll need to take it up with them. It is a commercial tex, so
presumably you have a support address for them?

The PCTeX32 package I'm using is site-licensed to Virginia Tech. I'll
contact the vendors. I'm using PCTeX 3.3. I also have 3.4 available
but uninstalled. Maybe that would help.

Would replacing the PCTeX graphics.sty with miktek's graphics.sty
help? I have both, but have been using PCTeX for the past 8 months
(it has a great DVI viewer).

thanks for the help, regardless.

It is the same .sty in both cases (mine). Or at least it had better
be:-) I think miktex uses dvips as its driver, that probably works as
it is what I use, but I think the pctex postscript driver is supposed to
be able to rotate (probably will not show rotation on screen though,
most dvi viewers do not show rotation (some do though)

I emailed PCTeX and they got back to me with an answer. You were
pretty much on track; thanks.
