Page Layout ⇒ Chapter heading on a landscape page

[spacemandave]

I am having a difficult issue with the lscape (and pdflscape) packages. I am helping someone format their thesis and they have an appendix that contains nothing but a longtable in landcape format. The problem is that we can't seem to make the chapter title in portrait mode on the same page as the table.

For instance if I do this:

Code: Select all

\chapter{Chapter title}
\begin{landcape}
\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}
...
\end{longtable}
\end{center}
\end{landscape}

The chapter title is made correctly at the top of a portrait-mode page, but then the table starts on a new page, and so the chapter title sits alone on an big empty page by itself. Very ugly.

But if I try this:

Code: Select all

\begin{landcape}
\chapter{Chapter title}
\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}
...
\end{longtable}
\end{center}
\end{landscape}

The chapter title and the table are on the same page, but the chapter title is incorrectly rotated into landcape mode. So how do I keep the chapter title in portrait mode on a landcape page?
