LaTeX forum ⇒ Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Change page layout in sideways figures/tables

[JoEgner]

Hi,

I'd like to remove the page number (and possibly also change the page margins) on a floating page created by the rotating-package. \thispagestyle{empty} seems unhelpful.

In the below example, there should be no page numbering on the second page:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{rotating}
 
\begin{document}
Text
\begin{sidewaystable}A\thispagestyle{empty}\end{sidewaystable}
\newpage Text
\end{document}

Any help would be appreciated -- Jo

You need to put the pagestyle outside of the float environment

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{rotating}
 
\begin{document}
Text
\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{sidewaystable}[p]
\caption{This is a caption}
\end{sidewaystable}
\clearpage
Text
\end{document}

Thanks, but this isn't what I'm after. \newpage and \clearpage make the floating page a "non-floating" object that appears at a deterministic location. In particular, there is a pagebreak due to \newpage which may occur right at the beginning of a page.

The fancyhdr package provides a special page style for float only pages (see p14 of the manual)
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ ... /fancyhdr/

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
 
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
 
\pagestyle{\iffloatpage{empty}{fancy}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[C]{\iffloatpage{}{\thepage}}
 
\begin{document}
\Blindtext
 
\begin{sidewaystable}[htbp]
\caption{This is a caption}
\end{sidewaystable}
 
\blinditemize
\Blindtext
 
\begin{figure}[htb]
\caption{Figures caption}
\end{figure}
 
\blindtext
\end{document}

I haven't used it before and don't understand why the \iffloatpage command needs to be used for both the \pagestyle and \fancyfoot, but I think the above code does what you want.

Excellent -- many thanks!
