Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ landscape / sidewaystable

[omkardpd]

Hello,

I am using the rotating package for creating a landscape table. The sample code I am using is as follows:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
\begin{sidewaystable}{htbp}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
col 1 & col 2 \\
\hline
end{tabular}
\caption{Table XYZ}
\label{tablexyz}
\end{sidewaystable}

Run LaTeX here

By this code I get the "undefined control sequence" error message.

When I remove the command "\caption{Table XYZ}" from the above code, LaTex does generate the table. However, half the table is outside the page. Even by changing margins I could not bring the table on top of the page in the landscape mode.

However, I have been able to print landscape pictures and portrait pictures/tables in the same document. The problem seems to be with the landscape table.

For the reference, I am attaching a copy of the table. May I get some inputs in resolving this problem?

Thank you,

Omkar

Get used to always providing a minimal example that clearly reproduces the error and is compilable for everybody as provided. You are not new to the forum so you should know that by now.

Dear Thorsten,

Thank you for the reply.

I understand about the ease the reader will have if I produce a minimal example. Unfortunately, the minimal example in my case does produce a table the way I want. However, in my main document, the table is wrongly printed as shown in my earlier message in this thread. I am producing the minimal example based on my main code.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}
report data
\begin{sidewaystable}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
col 1 & col 2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Table XYZ}
\label{tablexyz}
\end{sidewaystable}

\end{document}

If you can help me with this, I will sincerely appreciate your support. Regards,

Omkar

You can only get help if you show us what goes wrong with your code. Therefore you have to narrow down the problem to a document with minimal content as described on the page behind the link in my first reply. Start with copying the table as it is in your document to a new file with minimal code and compile. If you can't manage to cut the problem down, help will be nearly impossible. The compiler is quite clear in its error messages. It gives you the line where the error occurs.

And by the way, the forum software offers a »Code« environment for tagging code as such. You can find the corresponding button in the button list right above the input window while composing a post. It would be very kind if you would use it for posting code [1]. It just improves the legibility of your posts, thus makes it easier to help.
