-<h3>Typesetting things in landscape orientation</h3>
-<p/>It&#8217;s often necessary to typeset part of a document in landscape
-orientation; to achieve this, one needs not only to change the page
-dimensions, but also to instruct the output device to print the
-strange page differently.
-<p/>There are two &#8220;ordinary&#8221; mechanisms for doing two slight variations
-of landscape typesetting:
-<ul>
-<li> If you have a single floating object that is wider than it is
- deep, and will only fit on the page in landscape orientation, use
- the <i>rotating</i> package; this defines
- <code>sidewaysfigure</code> and <code>sidewaystable</code>
- environments which create floats that occupy a whole page.
-<p/> Note that <i>rotating</i> has problems in a document that also
- loads the <i>float</i> package, which recommended in other
- answers in these FAQs, for example that on
- <a href="FAQ-floats.html">float placement</a>. 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&#8217;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&#8217;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 &#8216;final&#8217; forms with an appropriate viewer.
