Sidewaysfigure not Centered

Post by annac1 »

I was wondering if anyone could help me...?

I'm using the 'rotating' package for jpg and eps files to put them length ways on a separate page.

I enter this...

\begin{center}
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\includegraphics[scale=0.40]{Figure1.eps}
\caption{Figure 1}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{center}

... but the pictures won't center. They either come out too far right or too far left, so that part of them is cut off.

I've also tried '\centering' and putting the pictures at the top or bottom of the page, but there was no difference.

Thank you very much.

Sidewaysfigure not Centered

Source code is formatted with the code environment of the forum. This keeps a post clear and legible.

This useless code snippet is insufficient to reproduce the problem [1]. Probably your pictures are still to big. The code below works fine for me.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}
  \begin{sidewaysfigure}
    \centering
    \rule{0.75\textheight}{0.5\textheight}
    \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
  \end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}
