Test of rotating package

Sebastian Rahtz and Leonor Barroca November 19th 1994

Rotating provides a generalised rotation environment, where the text will be rotated (anti-clockwise) by the number of degrees specied as a parameter to the environment, but no special arrangement is made to nd space for the result.
Start here \begin{rotate}{-56} Save whales \end{rotate} End here

Start here End here

A complete example of rotating text without leaving space would the Save the whale text written at 10 degree intervals round the compass. We use rlap to ensure that all the texts are printed at the same point. Just to show that TEX can handle PostScript muckings-about properly. . .

A If the user desires L TEX to leave space for the rotated box, then turn is used:

Start here

The environment Sideways is a special case, setting the rotation to 90, and leaving the correct space for the rotated box.
Start here \begin{sideways}% Save the whale \end{sideways} End here

Start here

le ha e e w al th wh e he whale av t SSavee the le Sav e the wha Sav Save Sav the whale Sav e the wha le SSavee the av e the whale th wh e wh ale ale

end here

Start here \begin{turn}{56}% Save the whale \end{turn} end here

End here

If you deal with whole paragraphs of text, you realize that TEX boxes are not as simple as they sometimes look: they have a height and a depth. So when you rotate, you rotate about the point on the left-hand edge of the box that meets the baseline. The results can be unexpected, as shown in the full set of paragraph rotations in Figures 1 and 2. If you really want to turn a paragraph so that it appears to rotate about the real bottom of the TEX box, you have to A adjust the box in the normal L TEX way:
\newsavebox{\foo} \savebox{\foo}{\parbox{1in}{Save the whales Save the whale Save the whale Save the whale}}% Start \begin{turn}{45}\usebox{\foo}\end{turn} End

S Sa ave S ve th Sa ave th e ve t e wh th he w ale h s e w wh ale ha al le e S Sa ave S ve th Sa ave th e ve t e wh th he w ale h s e w wh ale ha al le e

Start

End

Start

End

\savebox{\foo}{\parbox[b]{1in}{Save the whales Save the whale Save the whale Save the whale}}% Start \begin{turn}{45}\usebox{\foo}\end{turn} End

We can set tabular material in this way; at the same time, we demonstrate that the rotation can be nested:

33 34

Word hello goodbye

Occurrences

\begin{sideways} \rule{1in}{0pt} \begin{tabular}{|lr|} \em Word & \begin{rotate}{90}% Occurrences\end{rotate} \\ \hline hello & 33\\ goodbye & 34\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{sideways}

If you are interested in setting rotated material in tables or gures, this presents no problem. Figure 3 shows how PostScript les which are being incorporated using epsg can be rotated at will, while Figure 4 shows, in contrast, how epsg itself handles rotation. It is also possible to rotate the whole of the gure environment, including caption, by using the sidewaysgure ands sidewaystable environments in place of gure and table. Sideways gures and tables always take up the whole page. They can be rotated so that the bottom ot the gures is on the left or the right; the default is to always turn to the right. If the twoside option has been given to the main document class, this package then starts rotating sideways gures according A to the page number (this requires two passes through L TEX at least). If you want the twoside option, but want the gures always in one direction, use the guresright or riguresleft options to rotating. The code used to produce gures 19 is as follows: 7
