sidewaystable any alternative?

Post by Julien »

Hi,

I am trying to rotate a table so that it doesn't go out of the page. I've been able to to almost what I wanted by using the package sidewaystable (that is it rotates the table and take the caption correctly)
However one problem is that it gets on a new page and it's just the 1st table of my appendix and I wanted to know if there's anything to trick it so that it doesn't go on a new page?

Here's the code

Code: Select all

\appendix
\section{Tables}
\begin{sidewaystable}
\caption{Coaster file}
\scalebox {0.8}{\input{tables/coaster.tex}}
\end{sidewaystable}
And attached is the output I have.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Julien

The epslatex document introduces some useful solutions for rotating floats together with their captions. The hvfloat package may offer alternatives.
