I'm looking for a latex style that will allow me to
rotate figures and tables at arbitrary angles (or
just 90 degrees). This would allow me to have portrait
and lanscape figure and tables on the same page while
keeping the page number in portrait style. I tried
using dviselect and then using the landscape option in
Tom Rokicki's dvips but it rotated the page number as well
(this is not what I'm looking for).
I would also appreciate either a sample demo or a
document describing the style. I can't believe such a
thing doesn't exist already. I realize it will probably
use \special commands and therefore will be dependent
on the .dvi to postscript converters.
Thanks for any help.

I'm a bit puzzled. If you have Rokicki's dvips, then he includes an
example file showing how to rotate arbitrary bits of text on a page
(rotate.tex in his distribution). Maybe you need a more recent
version? since you are already using dvips, thats the obvious place to
look. I did write a `rotate.sty' which copes with the \special
commands from various flavours of dvi to PS, but its not very robust
so I won't offer to post it again here

From the responses to this question, it seems that the only way t get rotated tables, etc. is using dvitops. Is there anyone out there like me, whose equipment doesn't include a postscript printer, yet has needed to rotate tables 90 degrees to fit them on a page? Do you just reorganise your tables? Could one get LaTeX to print out over two pages so that they fit together, and then copy and reduce them or something? I realise this is a far from elegant solution, but it seems that the options are limited. Grateful for any ideas/info. Susan (susan@crysiris.rice.edu)
