General ⇒ Sidewaystable

[sriram]

I want create a sideways table starting from the bottom of the page to the top.

Use the sidewaystable environment provided by the rotating package. Note that this environemnt always begins a new page. Since the package isn't documented very well, take a look at epslatex.


Best regards

I'm using the landscape environment instead of sidewaystable. Which is more suitable and stable?

Furthermore, for some reason the environment \begin{small} "Tabular jadda jadda" \end{small} doesn't work for me. Is there some other great way of making the table a little bit smaller and perhaps more narrow when it comes to just one table?

Hi Zikes,

You could make it narrower by changing the \tabcolsep length:

Code: Select all

1
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{newlength}

Why does \small (\footnotesize, ...) not work for you? Do you know the reason?

The graphicx package gives macros for resizing boxes, where you could put a table into: \scalebox and \resizebox, see grfguide.

I thought I could use a {small}-environment just to make the table a little smaller. Don't know where I heard that it could work.

Have'nt had time to check out tabcolsep, will do so later. I'm getting some overfull boxes at the moment now that I wanna get rid of but it shows perfectly alright in the page.

Thx for the quick reply!
