Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Landscaping a Figure & Figure Footnotes

[latexhelp1]

How do you make a page with a figure come out as landscaped? Is there a figure analogue to \begin{sidewaystable}?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[font=large, labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}

\begin{document}

    \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \centering
    \caption{\large\textbf{{Caption for Figure}}}
    Figure Goes Here
    \end{figure}

    \noindent \footnotesize{Notes: } 
    \clearpage
\end{document}

What about just reading the rotating manual? Yet the introduction tells you that with the »sidewaysfigure« environment there is a corresponding counterpart.

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't understand how to apply the sidewaysfigure. I changed the code in the first message to add the sidewaysfigure. However, now I do not know how to make footnotes as I had done in the code in the first posting. And by footnotes, I just mean general notes about the table. For example, the sources of the data.

I would really appreciate your help and any suggestions to the code. I cannot find clear examples of how to do what I am looking for in the manual. I have tried googling around for solutions and cannot find anything. I would very much appreciate your help.

I would like the page to appear as:

Caption: Title Name
[Figure goes here]
Notes.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[font=large, labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}

\begin{document}


\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\begin{threeparttable}
\caption{\large\textbf{{Caption for Figure}}}
Figure Goes Here
\end{threeparttable}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\noindent \footnotesize{Notes: } 

\end{document}

You can try a slightly different approach by the varwidth package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[font=large,labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{varwidth}

\begin{document}
  \begin{sidewaysfigure}
    \centering
    \begin{varwidth}{6in}
      \rule{\linewidth}{0.75\linewidth}
    
      \smallskip
      \footnotesize
      Notes: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
    \end{varwidth}
    \caption{Figure Caption}\label{fig:dummy}
  \end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}

I'm sorry, but I cannot figure out how to insert an .eps figure here instead of just the black box. I used to use includegraphics, but I cannot figure out how to make that compatible with the code you have written in place of the black box.

I suspect that \rule{\linewidth}{0.75\linewidth} is making the black box in the code below.

Here is sample code for what I used to do to show you the includegraphics. I like what you wrote better with varwidth because it aligns the footnotes with the graphic and caption. So I don't want to keep using my code, and want to figure out how to use the includegraphics or something like it with yours.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\centering
\caption{\large\textbf{{Caption for Figure 1 Here}}}\label{figure1}
\includegraphics[height = 3.75in, width = 5.75in]{Figure1.eps}
\end{figure}

\noindent \footnotesize{Notes: 

\noindent Sources: }

I wish you would be a little bit more proactive and just think one simple step further. You could have tested it by yourself by just commenting the \rule command or replacing it with the \includegraphics command. The below code works as you want. No modifications needed.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[font=large,labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{varwidth}

\begin{document}
  \begin{sidewaysfigure}
    \centering
    \begin{varwidth}{5.75in}
      \includegraphics[width=5.75in,height=3.75in]{Figure1}
   
      \smallskip
      \footnotesize
      Notes: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

      \medskip
      Source: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
    \end{varwidth}
    \caption{Figure Caption}\label{fig:dummy}
  \end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}

And stop with your weird manual formatting of the caption. It's all done by the caption package which you are already loading with appropriate options. If the formatting as above is not what you want, read the package manual to learn more about its capabilities.

I only wonder why you want this figure to be rotated. You've got a text width of 6.5" and a figure width of 5.75". So I see no need to turn it. It would fit nicely.

Thank you thank you thank you for your help. I cannot express my appreciation for your generosity. Bless you.

My apologies for the question. I did experiment with the code, and I promise you that I did comment out the rule line. However, I just could not figure out what was making the black box appear. It was still appearing with your code in the last posting as well, but I was proactive and figured it out.

I will work on my weird coding. I am sorry that it is so weird.
