Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Vertically center an image in landscape format

[Luftentfeuchter]

Hello everyone!

I want to center an image vertically in landscape format.
Here's what I've got up to now:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}

\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{testimage}
\caption{caption of the image}
\label{Label1}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

\end{document}

But the distance to the top of the page is less than to the bottom margin.
Has anybody got an idea?

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

The image is vertically centered within the text body. To see it, add this line:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{showframe}

The bottom margin is just twice as big as the top margin, which is a good practice. This makes you think it is not centered. You would need to change the margins. But I assume, once your document contains more text, it looks better centered to the text body of the pages, not to the margins or the paper but shifted if seen next to the text.
