(Vertical) centering of object on landscaped page

Post by Initial_Conditions »

Hi,

I have set a new page to landscape. I would like to center an object (in this case a chart) in the vertical direction, once the page has been rotated to landscape).

\begin{center} will center in the horizontal direction....

Thanks,
Dom

Hi Dom,

welcome to the board!

You could use

Code: Select all

\vspace*{\fill}
before and after the object. This command inserts stretchable space.

Thanks Stefan - I had just got round to using vspace but the \fill option means I don't have to guess the spaces to use.

Cheers.
