Document Classes ⇒ sideways tables, landscape tables

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I have tried to place \usepackage{hyperref} before \begin{sidewaystable}
but when compiling it ends up with an error...

Yes, hyperref has to be loaded inside the preamble, like all packages, before \begin{document}. Perhaps you can show us your preamble, what packages are loaded, until \begin{document}.

Hi,

just for info: the problem was solved by using pdflscape (discussed by PM).

For some reason sideways table put the table on the last page, and in portrait mode although centered as if it thinks it is in landscape mode.
I'm using texlive on a gentoo linux system. The input text is as follows.

Code: Select all

\begin{sidewaystable}[t]
\caption{Results}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{rr*{16}{c}}
Case & Tol & \multicolumn{4}{c}{W = .5} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{W = .6}
& \multicolumn{4}{c}{Old R-K} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{Soderlind}\\
& & NF & Max-err & Sum-SQ & Max & Max-err & Sum-SQ & Max & Max-err &
Sum-SQ & Max & Max-err & Sum-SQ & Max\\
\end{tabular}
\end{sidewaystable}

Trying to use landscape in place of sidewaystable gives much the same, although the table appears on the next page. (That is the small part of the left side of the table that appears in portrait mode.)
Any suggestions? Many thanks,
Fred

Omit the optional argument for the sidewaystable environment.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks for the reponse, dropping the [t] got the stuff on the next page, but it is still in portrait mode.

[...] dropping the [t] got the stuff on the next page, but it is still in portrait mode. [...]

Please, proof that with a minimal working example (MWE). The following code works flawless.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\parindent0em

\begin{document}
  \blindtext[4]

  \begin{sidewaystable}[t]
    \caption{Results}
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{rr*{16}{c}}
      Case & Tol & \multicolumn{4}{c}{W = .5} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{W = .6} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{Old R-K} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{Soderlind} \\
      & & NF & Max-err & Sum-SQ & Max & Max-err & Sum-SQ & Max & Max-err & Sum-SQ & Max & Max-err & Sum-SQ & Max \\
    \end{tabular}
  \end{sidewaystable}

  \blindtext[4]
\end{document}

And it doesn't work for me, the table still come out in potrait mode. Should I be filing a bug with texlive? Many thanks,
Fred

A bug is very unlikely. Post the resulting output of exactly my example code as attachment to your next post.

I tried to send an attachement with the .dvi output, but I can't see that it reached this forum. If it didn't show up, I'll try again. Do I need to so something other than give a link to the file in the Filename field. Thanks,
Fred
