% These macros allow you to rotate or flip a \TeX\ box. Very useful for
% sideways tables or upsidedown answers.
%
% To use, create a box containing the information you want to rotate.
% (An hbox or vbox will do.) Now call \@rotr\boxnum to rotate the
% material and create a new box with the appropriate (flipped) dimensions.
% \@rotr rotates right, \@rotl rotates left, \@rotu turns upside down, and
% \@rotf flips. These boxes may contain other rotated boxes.
%

\def\@vspec#1{\special{ps:#1}}% passes #1 verbatim to the output
\def\@rotstart#1{\@vspec{gsave currentpoint currentpoint translate
#1 neg exch neg exch translate}}% #1 can be any origin-fixing transformation
\def\@rotfinish{\@vspec{currentpoint grestore moveto}}% gets back in synch
%
% First, the rotation right. The reference point of the rotated box
% is the lower right corner of the original box.
%
\def\@rotr#1{\@rotdimen=\ht#1\advance\@rotdimen by\dp#1%
\hbox to\@rotdimen{\hskip\ht#1\vbox to\wd#1{\@rotstart{90 rotate}%
\box#1\vss}\hss}\@rotfinish}
%
% Next, the rotation left. The reference point of the rotated box
% is the upper left corner of the original box.
%
\def\@rotl#1{\@rotdimen=\ht#1\advance\@rotdimen by\dp#1%
\hbox to\@rotdimen{\vbox to\wd#1{\vskip\wd#1\@rotstart{270 rotate}%
\box#1\vss}\hss}\@rotfinish}%
%
% Upside down is simple. The reference point of the rotated box
% is the upper right corner of the original box. (The box's height
% should be the current font's xheight, \fontdimen5\font,
% if you want that xheight to be at the baseline after rotation.)
%
\def\@rotu#1{\@rotdimen=\ht#1\advance\@rotdimen by\dp#1%
\hbox to\wd#1{\hskip\wd#1\vbox to\@rotdimen{\vskip\@rotdimen
\@rotstart{-1 dup scale}\box#1\vss}\hss}\@rotfinish}%
%
% And flipped end for end is pretty ysae too. We retain the baseline.
%
\def\@rotf#1{\hbox to\wd#1{\hskip\wd#1\@rotstart{-1 1 scale}%
\box#1\hss}\@rotfinish}%
%
% Now the user interface for LaTeX: \rotate[type]{text} where
% ``type'' is `l' for left, `r' for right, `u' for upside-down, or
% `f' for flip. `l' is the default.
