Let's say that it wasn't a bad idea or typographical nonsense for the sake of learning.

Any idea why...
... doesn't expand inside the arguments for \includegraphics?

I've pieced together something but it doesn't typeset. If you typeset the bit below it will spit out angle=90 on page 1 and angle=270 on page 2. That's correct behavior. However, if I try to use it to dynamically supply the angle= argument to \includegrpahics then it fails (remove the begin/end ...

I tried searching the forums for my solution but my key words turned up nothing. I have some large images included in my document and it is my desire that they consume the whole page in landscape. I have achieved this by using the align=90 argument. No problem there.

This problem is still somewhat related so I thought I'd continue it in this post. I am now trying to wrap this into environments and commands. I am almost there but the newlength calcs are giving me issues. I can't seem to get the correct math and it appears the problem might be related ...

I could do the two documents separately and simply include the poster afterward. However, I'd like to create ...

Works like a champ! Thank you so much for helping me out!

Thank you!

The yshift transformation works but it has one drawback. I eventually want to script this so that this 'menu map' is created automatically. Given the child depth will vary for each menu item the y-shift value would be different for all of them. Is there anyway to calculate the y-shift ...

Perfect, that worked and the errors in my log file have disappeared. Any idea why the manual doesn't state this? I was pretty much following the branch example on page 289 of the manual http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/base/doc/generic/pgf/pgfmanual.pdf . They make no mention of the ...
