General ⇒ Center rotated text in table cell vertically

[mro]

see subject
I would like the labels on the left to be vertically centered.
Obviously, they are, when they are not rotated.
Now the question is:
- How can I change the center of rotation to be the center of the actual box/text, or
- How can I move the rotated stuff a little bit down (i.e. half of the rotated box's height, which would make it centered again)
A pity this doesn't work out of the box

An MWE (i.e. MNWE, minimum non-working example) is attached

Hi mro,

you could use the \rotatebox macro of the graphicx package, set the keys origin or x,y, see graphicx documentation. To raise or to lower a box you could use the \raisebox macro.

Code: Select all

\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{
   VertLabel1
}

does the trick

Thanks!
