I am attempting to coerce LaTeX into drawing a 2-dimensional matrix
which has labels on the rows *and on the columns*. The appearance
I wish to achieve is this:
/ / / / /
/ / / / /
/ / / / /
/ / / / /
/ / / / /
---------------------
row 1 name | | | | |
---------------------
row 2 name | | | | |
---------------------
row 3 name | | | | |
---------------------
...etc.
Where the areas represented by "/" should actually be the text which
labels the columns. The text should be ascending at an angle of
about 60 degrees elevation from the horizontal. Can anyone suggest
a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

I have never seen any TeX document that had rotated text. It sounds like a lost cause to me. Perhaps it would be possible if your TeX supports embedded postscript, but then you probably won't be able to position the text exactly, and you wouldn't be able to preview it very easily. It sounds like you should use a WYSIWYG type DTP program instead if you want rotated text. I think there is something on the Sun that is WYSIWYG but outputs in TeX format... Maybe UofT has it somewhere?
