For about 4 years I have been occasionally trying to get right a set
of macros for performing arbitrary rotations of LaTeX material, using
a PostScript driver. A complete new system is here offered, a style option
`rotating.sty', which provides three environments
- sideways
rotates the contents through 90 degrees
- rotate[#1]
rotates the contents by [#1] degrees, leaving no space at all
- turn[#1]
rotates the contents by [#1] degrees, leaving the correct space
taken up by the rotated box
This time I have got it right as regards all the points of the
compass, and the depth of TeX boxes.
There are also two environments `sidewaysfigure' and `sidewaystable'
which rotate an entire float through 90 degrees.
The distribution consists of
rotating.doc documented style file
rotating.sty style file stripped of comments
rotating.tex driver file to print documented code, and
provide samples of rotation
rotating.ps PostScript version of documentation
rot{01,02,03,04}.eps, cat.eps PostScript files needed for
documentation
example.sty style file needed for documentation
The user will need to have psfig1.8, and to use dvips, dvitops or textures as
their driver. If anyone adds code for another driver, I'd like to hear
about it.
