The <i>rotfloat</i> package - loads <i>rotating</i> for you, and smooths the interaction with - <i>float</i>. -<li> If you have a long sequence of things that need to be typeset in - landscape (perhaps a code listing, a wide <code>tabbing</code> - environment, or a huge table typeset using <i>longtable</i> or - <i>supertabular</i>), use the <i>lscape</i> package (or - <i>pdflscape</i> if you’re generating PDF output, whether - using PDFLaTeX or <i>dvips</i> and generating PDF from - that). Both packages define an environment <code>landscape</code>, which - clears the current page and restarts typesetting in landscape - orientation (and clears the page at the end of the environment - before returning to portrait orientation). -</ul> -No currently available package makes direct provision for typesetting -in both portrait and landscape orientation on the same page (it’s not -the sort of thing that TeX is well set-up to do). If such -behaviour was an absolute necessity, one might use the techniques -described in - -<a href="FAQ-textflow.html">"flowing text around figures"</a>, and would -rotate the landscape portion using the rotation facilities of the -<i>graphics</i> package. (Returning from landscape to portrait -orientation would be somewhat easier: the portrait part of the page -would be a bottom float at the end of the landscape section, with its -content rotated.) -<p/>To set an entire document in landscape orientation, one might use -<i>lscape</i> around the whole document. A better option is the -<code>landscape</code> option of the <i>geometry</i> package; if you -also give it <code>dvips</code> or <code>pdftex</code> option, -<i>geometry</i> also emits the rotation instructions to cause the -output to be properly oriented. The <i>memoir</i> class has the same -facilities, in this respect, as does <i>geometry</i>. -<p/>A word of warning: most current TeX previewers do not honour -rotation requests in DVI files. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Your best bet is to convert your output to PostScript or to PDF, and -to view these ‘final’ forms with an appropriate viewer. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>geometry.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/geometry.zip">macros/latex/contrib/geometry</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/geometry/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/geometry.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>graphics.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/graphics.zip">macros/latex/required/graphics</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/graphics/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/graphics.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>longtable.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools.zip">macros/latex/required/tools</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/longtable.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>lscape.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/graphics.zip">macros/latex/required/graphics</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/graphics/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/lscape.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>memoir.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.zip">macros/latex/contrib/memoir</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/memoir.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>pdflscape.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed with Heiko Oberdiek’s packages - <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek.zip">macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/pdflscape.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>rotating.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rotating.zip">macros/latex/contrib/rotating</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rotating/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/rotating.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>rotfloat.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rotfloat.zip">macros/latex/contrib/rotfloat</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rotfloat/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/rotfloat.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>supertabular.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/supertabular.zip">macros/latex/contrib/supertabular</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/supertabular/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/supertabular.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=landscape">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=landscape</a> -</body> |
