Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Text and sidewaysfigure at the same page

[peris]

Hi guys,

I would like to put some text and after it a landscape figure (the caption 90º rotated too). I've tried with sidewaysfigure environment but it seems this environment introduces a newpage command. Following a minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent
sodales tristique neque non malesuada. Vivamus dictum, mi vel
condimentum convallis, odio lectus pharetra felis, ac aliquam risus
justo eu lectus. 

\begin{sidewaysfigure}[H]
\centering
\rule{0.2\textwidth}{7cm}
\caption{Test}
\label{fig:test}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

the hvfloat package could be useful; take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{hvfloat}

\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent
sodales tristique neque non malesuada. Vivamus dictum, mi vel
condimentum convallis, odio lectus pharetra felis, ac aliquam risus
justo eu lectus.

\hvFloat[rotAngle=270]%
  {figure}%
  {\rule{.2\textwidth}{7cm}}%
  [short caption]{long caption}%
  {fig:fig1}

\end{document}

Please, refer to the package documentation for further information.
