Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ rotating | 'sidewaystable' and tabularx or tabulary

[Sytske]

I have been able to create a sideways table using the rotating package (a working example is presented below). However, when I want to combine the rotating package and either tabularx or tabulary, Latex protests. I have been searching whether it is possible to use tabularx or tabulary with rotating, but I can not find it. Does anyone know whether it is possible to use these packages together?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside]{report}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{tabulary}

\begin{document}

\begin{sidewaystable}[h]\footnotesize
\centering
\begin{tabular}{l r c } 
\hline
\noalign{\smallskip}
test & test & test\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
 \caption{}\label{rotfloat2}
\end{sidewaystable}

\end{document}

And this doesn't work:

Code: Select all

\begin{sidewaystable}[h]\footnotesize
\centering
\begin{tabulary}{L R c } 
\hline
\noalign{\smallskip}
test & test & test\\
\hline
\end{tabulary}
 \caption{}\label{rotfloat2}
\end{sidewaystable}

Thank you in advance for your help!

Take a close look at the tabulary manual to learn how to use the »tabulary« environment correctly.

Code: Select all

\begin{tabulary}{<length>}{<preamble>}
% table content
\end{tabulary}

You just forgot to specify the width of the table.

Next time please echo the exact error message(s) from the log file or attach it instead of just telling us that "it doesn't work". This is an absolutely inappropriate error description. Nevertheless, you provided a very good minimal example.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Dear Thorsten,
Thanks for your help!
It's interesting, because I had previously specified the table width, but got an error as well. Anyway, it works indeed, so that's great!
Thanks, Sytske
