LaTeX forum ⇒ Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Rotate a table and should not move it to next page (PDF screen shot attached) Topic is solved

Please see the attachment and give me a solution to rotate the table and not move it to next page.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You could use this:

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

\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{document}
...
\begin{sidewaystable}
  \centering
  \caption{Your table caption}
  \begin{tabular}{...}
    ...
  \end{tabular}
\end{sidewaystable}

I did add the code as you told. The good part is that table is rotated. BUt, it still appeared in second page by keeping the first page blank. Please, check the attached PDF screen shot.

Or rotate this way:

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

\usepackage[graphicx]{realboxes}
\usepackage{varwidth}
...
\begin{document}
...
\begin{table}[!htbp]
\centering
 \rotatebox{90}{%
   \begin{varwidth}{\textheight}
      \caption{the caption text}\label{tab:1}
      \begin{tabular}{...}
        ...
      \end{tabular}
    \end{varwidth}}
\end{table}

\end{document}[/code]

Sorry. It did not work at all.

I added those two packages mentioned by you and Here is the code I entered:

You could use a minipage instead of varwidth. Choose the height as option, as it fits. I used 0.9\textheight.

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

text
\begin{table}[!htbp]
\centering
 \rotatebox{90}{%
   \begin{minipage}{0.9\textheight}
\caption{Switch comparison}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
...
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}}
\end{table}

Excellent. Thanks a ton Stefan. It worked for me. Please, find the screen shot.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

The varwidth environment was for auto-adjusting the width (here: hight, as it's rotated), somehow it did not work with the content here. But as it works with minipage, fine.
