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\ldots \begin{example} \newcount\wang \newsavebox{\wangtext} \newdimen\wangspace \def\wheel#1{\savebox{\wangtext}{#1}% \wangspace\wd\wangtext \advance\wangspace by 1cm% \centerline{% \rule{0pt}{\wangspace}% \rule[-\wangspace]{0pt}{\wangspace}% \wang=-180\loop\ifnum\wang<180 \rlap{\begin{rotate}{\the\wang}% \rule{1cm}{0pt}#1\end{rotate}}% \advance\wang by 10\repeat}} \wheel{Save the whale} \end{example} If the user desires \LaTeX\ to leave space for the rotated box, then `turn' is used: \begin{example} Start here \begin{turn}{56}% Save the whale \end{turn} end here \end{example} The environment `Sideways' is a special case, setting the rotation to $-90$, and leaving the correct space for the rotated box. \begin{example} Start here \begin{sideways}% Save the whale \end{sideways} End here \end{example} 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 {\em 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 \ref{angles1} and \ref{angles2}. If you really want to turn a paragraph so that it appears to rotate about the {\em real} bottom of the \TeX\ box, you have to adjust the box in the normal \LaTeX\ way: \begin{example} \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 \end{example} \begin{example} \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 \end{example} \def\testrot#1{% \savebox{\foo}{\parbox{1in}{Save the whales Save the whale Save the whale Save the whale}}% \framebox{---\begin{turn}{#1}\framebox{\usebox{\foo}}\end{turn}---}}% \begin{figure*} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline \testrot{0} &\testrot{-40}&\testrot{-80}\\ 0\degrees & -40\degrees & -80\degrees \\ \hline \testrot{-120}&\testrot{-160}&\testrot{-200}\\ 120\degrees & -160\degrees & -200\degrees \\ \hline \testrot{-240}&\testrot{-280}&\testrot{-320}\\ -240\degrees & -280\degrees & -320\degrees \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Rotation of paragraphs between 0 and -320 degrees \label{angles1}} \end{figure*} \begin{figure*} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline \testrot{-180} &\testrot{40}&\testrot{80}\\ -180\degrees & 40\degrees & 80\degrees \\ \hline \testrot{120}&\testrot{160}&\testrot{200}\\ 120\degrees & 160\degrees & 200\degrees \\ \hline \testrot{240}&\testrot{280}&\testrot{320}\\ 240\degrees & 280\degrees & 320\degrees \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Rotation of paragraphs between 0 and 320 degrees\label{angles2}} \end{figure*} We can set tabular material in this way; at the same time, we demonstrate that the rotation can be nested: \begin{example} \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} \end{example} \begin{example} \begin{quote} \rule{0pt}{1.5in}\begin{tabular}{rrr} \begin{rotate}{45}Column 1\end{rotate}& \begin{rotate}{45}Column 2\end{rotate}& \begin{rotate}{45}Column 3\end{rotate}\\ \hline 1& 2& 3\\ 4& 5& 6\\ 7& 8& 9\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{quote} \end{example} \begin{example} \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{rrr} \begin{turn}{45}Column 1\end{turn}& \begin{turn}{45}Column 2\end{turn}& \begin{turn}{45}Column 3\end{turn}\\ \hline 1& 2& 3\\ 4& 5& 6\\ 7& 8& 9\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{quote} \end{example} \begin{example} \begin{quote} \rule{0pt}{1.5in}\begin{tabular}{rrr} \begin{rotate}{45}Column 1\end{rotate} \rule{.5cm}{0pt}& \begin{rotate}{45}Column 2\end{rotate} \rule{.5cm}{0pt}& \begin{rotate}{45}Column 3\end{rotate} \rule{.5cm}{0pt}\\ \hline 1& 2& 3\\ 4& 5& 6\\ 7& 8& 9\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{quote} \end{example} \begin{example} \begin{sideways} \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|p{1in}|} \hline &&\multicolumn{4}{c}{NUMBER OF SITES}\vline &ACCEPT or\\ \cline{3-6} &STUDY AREA&&\multicolumn{3}{c}{% IN BOUNDARY ZONE}\vline&REJECT\\ \cline{4-6}&&&&\multicolumn{2}{c}{EXPECTED} \vline&NULL\\ \cline{5-6}&&TOT&OBS&FROM&TO&HYPOTH\\ \cline{2-7} &FULL SAMPLE&41&31&10.3&27.0&REJECT\\ &SAMPLE AREA 1&23&16&4.3&16.7&ACCEPT\\ &SAMPLE AREA 2&18&15&2.8&13.7&REJECT\\ &RUSHEN&13&9&1.2&10.4&ACCEPT\\ &ARBORY&10&7&0.6&8.8&ACCEPT\\ &MAROWN&10&8&0.4&8.6&ACCEPT\\ \rule{0.5cm}{0pt} \begin{rotate}{90}PRIMARY UNITS% \end{rotate}\rule{0.5cm}{0pt} &SANTON&8&7&0.0&7.3&ACCEPT\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{sideways} \end{example} If you are interested in setting rotated material in tables or figures, this presents no problem. Figure \ref{fig1} shows how PostScript files which are being incorporated using `epsfig' can be rotated at will, while Figure \ref{fig2} shows, in contrast, how `epsfig' itself handles rotation. It is also possible to rotate the whole of the figure environment, including caption, by using the `sidewaysfigure' ands `sidewaystable' environments in place of `figure' and `table'. The code used to produce figures \ref{rotfloat1}--\ref{rotfloat4} is as follows: \begin{description} \item[Figure \ref{rotfloat1}] {\small\begin{verbatim} \begin{sidewaystable} \centering \caption{This is a narrow table, which should be centred vertically on the final page.\label{rotfloat1}} \begin{tabular}{|ll|} \hline a & b \\ c & d \\ e & f \\ g & h \\ i & j \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{sidewaystable} \end{verbatim} } \item[Figure \ref{rotfloat2}] {\scriptsize\begin{verbatim} \begin{sidewaystable} \centering \begin{tabular}{|llllllllp{1in}lp{1in}|} \hline Context &Length &Breadth/ &Depth &Profile &Pottery &Flint &Animal &Stone &Other &C14 Dates \\ & &Diameter & & & & & Bones&&&\\ \hline &&&&&&&&&&\\ \multicolumn{10}{|l}{\bf Grooved Ware}&\\ 784 &--- &0.9m &0.18m &Sloping U &P1 &$\times$46 & $\times$8 && $\times$2 bone& 2150$\pm$ 100 BC\\ 785 &--- &1.00m &0.12 &Sloping U &P2--4 &$\times$23 & $\times$21 & Hammerstone &---&---\\ 962 &--- &1.37m &0.20m &Sloping U &P5--6 &$\times$48 & $\times$57* & ---& ---&1990 $\pm$ 80 BC (Layer 4) 1870 $\pm$90 BC (Layer 1)\\ 983 &0.83m &0.73m &0.25m &Stepped U &--- &$\times$18 & $\times$8 & ---& Fired clay&---\\ &&&&&&&&&&\\ \multicolumn{10}{|l}{\bf Beaker}&\\ 552 &--- &0.68m &0.12m &Saucer &P7--14 &--- & --- & --- &--- &---\\ 790 &--- &0.60m &0.25m &U &P15 &$\times$12 & --- & Quartzite-lump&--- &---\\ 794 &2.89m &0.75m &0.25m &Irreg. &P16 &$\times$3 & --- & --- &--- &---\\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption[Grooved Ware and Beaker Features, their Finds and Radiocarbon Dates]{Grooved Ware and Beaker Features, their Finds and Radiocarbon Dates;
