Landscape page layout

[Juckou]

Dear all,

I'm trying to include some pages in landscape position in a document.
I have \usepackage{pdflscape} in the preamble and then I write \begin
{landscape}.....\end{landscape} before and after the figure I want to
appear in a landscape page. Then I latex it and later I convert it
from dvi to pdf (because my figure files are in .eps). The final pdf
document is fine except that the landscape page doesn't appears in
horizontal (that's why I wanted to use pdflscape rather than lscape).
If I pdflatex it from the begining I get the horizontal page but I
can't do that because my figure files in .eps are not recongnized by
pdflatex.

Do you have any idea of what I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance

Juckou

Hi   Use \usepackage[figureright]{rotating}   and then use   \begin{sidewaysfigure} \includegraphics{} \caption{} \end{sidewaysfigure} --- On Tue, 2/10/09, Juckou <juc...@yahoo.es> wrote:

Thank you, Murugan. But when I latex the file I get this error
message:

Unknown option 'figureright' for package 'graphics'

Do you know why?

Cheers

If I remove [figureright] from the preamble then rotating does the job
but when I convert the document to pdf the figure appears conveniently
rotated but the page is displayed in vertical position and I wish to
have it (just the landscape page!) in horizontal. Do you know any way
to get that?

Thank you

Juckou

hi

would converting the .eps files to .pdf solve the prob. linux does support ps to pdf conversion and pdflatex could still be used. not sure if this addresses ur issue.

I'm having trouble with landscape as well. I'm building using
pdflatex, and working from a .sty file and template docs set up for a
dissertation. I want to turn some wide tables sideways.

The main template document I'm using has "\usepackage{lscape}" in it,
and one of the chapters has the following table code:
\begin{landscape}
\begin{table}%[p!]
\begin{center}
\caption[Short table caption for LOT]{Sample table caption (to appear
with the actual table). \label{sampletable}}
\vspace{0.3in}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
\hline
Col A & Col B & Col C \\
\hline
1 & 2 & 3 \\
4 & 5 & 6\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\end{landscape}

When I build, I get a page blank except for the page number. Based on
just the page number, the page appears to still be in portrait mode,
but I would want the page number oriented as if in portrait mode
anyway.

I've replaced the \usepackage{lscape} with \usepackage{pdflscape}
since I'm using pdflatex. The behavior is slightly different. For one
thing, it takes 4 builds in a row to stabilize. For the first 3
builds, the whole doc goes into landscape mode and looks terrible. On
the fourth build, it returns to portrait mode. Then instead of a page
blank except for the page number, I get a wholly blank page.

I'd be grateful for hints.
