Switching form portrait to landscape and back to portrait

Switching form portrait to landscape and back to portrait

[Willi Egger]

Dear list,

I am struggling with a document, where from time to time a landscape page is
inserted.

\chapter{One}

running tex A4

\chapter{Two}

landscape table A4

\chapter{Three}

running text A4


It sounds maybe stupid, but I tried different variations and I do not get
what I need ... How do I setup a correct switching?

Thanks for advice! Willi

If you've got your text in a float type environment (such as
\placetable), you can use the \rotate{} command.  Here's a small
example.  This will literally insert a landscape page, without a
header and without a footer.

----------

%output=pdf
\starttext

\input tufte

\startTEXpage

\rotate [height=210mm,
         width=297mm,
	 rotation=90]
    {\placetable{My Caption}{
       \bTABLE
       \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD aaa\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR
       \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD aaa\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR
       \bTR \bTD 11\eTD \bTD 111\eTD \bTD 5555\eTD \eTR
       \bTR \bTD 22\eTD \bTD 221\eTD \bTD 6655\eTD \eTR
       \eTABLE}}

\stopTEXpage

\doincrementpagenumber

\input tufte

\stoptext

----------

This example will float the table to the centre of the page, if you'd
like to anchor the float to the bottom of the page, you make have to
get out the \frame{} toolkit.

You want rotated chapter headings, headers and footers, etc., I've
never done that.

Thanks a lot! This is the clue I needed. At least I am able to typeset the
landscape pages and can have following pages in portrait again!

Basically I think, that it could be a good idea, to have a heder beeing
rotatet with the content of the page. Sofar one can include the \chapter[]{}
in the \rotate[]{} command and it is nicely rotated with the rest of the
page.

I will try further.... Thanks for your example!

Ah, I need to say [A4,portrait] and \page. - I fiddled a long time with
\setuppapersize but never added portrait to the command! - And therefore it
did not work.

Thanks a lot, I have now what I was looking for! Willi
