\title{Test of `rotating' package}
\author{Sebastian Rahtz and Leonor Barroca}
\date{November 19th 1994}
\maketitle

`Rotating' provides a generalised rotation environment, where the text
will be rotated (anti-clockwise) by the number of degrees specified as
a parameter to the environment, but no special arrangement is made to
find space for the result.
\begin{example}
Start here
\begin{rotate}{-56}
Save whales
\end{rotate}
End here
\end{example}

A complete example of rotating text without leaving space
would the `Save the whale' text
written at 10 degree intervals round the compass. We use
`rlap' to ensure that all the texts are printed at the same point.
Just to show that \TeX\ can handle PostScript muckings-about
properly\ldots
\begin{example} 
\newcount\wang
\newsavebox{\wangtext}
\newdimen\wangspace
\def\wheel#1{\savebox{\wangtext}{#1}%
\wangspace\wd\wangtext
\advance\wangspace by 1cm%
\centerline{%
\rule{0pt}{\wangspace}%
\rule[-\wangspace]{0pt}{\wangspace}%
\wang=-180\loop\ifnum\wang<180
\rlap{\begin{rotate}{\the\wang}%
\rule{1cm}{0pt}#1\end{rotate}}%
\advance\wang by 10\repeat}}
\wheel{Save the whale}
\end{example}

If the user
desires \LaTeX\ to leave space for the rotated box, then `turn' is used:
\begin{example}
 Start here \begin{turn}{56}%
   Save the whale
  \end{turn} end here
\end{example}
The environment `Sideways' is a  special case, setting the rotation to $-90$,
and leaving the correct space for the rotated box. 
\begin{example}
Start here
\begin{sideways}%
Save the whale
\end{sideways}
End here
\end{example}

If you deal with whole paragraphs of text, you realize that \TeX\
boxes are not as simple as they sometimes look: they have a height
{\em and} a depth. So when you rotate, you rotate about the point on
the left-hand edge of the box that meets the baseline. The results can
be unexpected, as shown in the full set of  paragraph rotations in
Figures \ref{angles1} and \ref{angles2}. If you really want to turn a
paragraph so that it appears to rotate about the {\em real} bottom of
the \TeX\ box,
you have to adjust the box in the normal \LaTeX\ way:
\begin{example}
\newsavebox{\foo}
\savebox{\foo}{\parbox{1in}{Save 
the whales Save the whale 
Save the whale 
Save the whale}}%
Start
\begin{turn}{45}\usebox{\foo}\end{turn}
End
\end{example}
\begin{example}
\savebox{\foo}{\parbox[b]{1in}{Save 
the whales Save the whale 
Save the whale 
Save the whale}}%
Start
\begin{turn}{45}\usebox{\foo}\end{turn}
End
\end{example}

\def\testrot#1{%
\savebox{\foo}{\parbox{1in}{Save 
the whales Save the whale Save the whale Save the whale}}%
\framebox{---\begin{turn}{#1}\framebox{\usebox{\foo}}\end{turn}---}}%

\begin{figure*}

We can set tabular material in this way; at the same time, we
demonstrate that the rotation can be nested:
\begin{example}
\begin{sideways}
\rule{1in}{0pt}
\begin{tabular}{|lr|}
\em Word & \begin{rotate}{90}%
Occurrences\end{rotate}
\\
\hline
hello & 33\\
goodbye & 34\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{sideways}
\end{example}

\begin{example}
\begin{quote}
\rule{0pt}{1.5in}\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\begin{rotate}{45}Column 1\end{rotate}&
\begin{rotate}{45}Column 2\end{rotate}&
\begin{rotate}{45}Column 3\end{rotate}\\
\hline
1& 2& 3\\
4& 5& 6\\
7& 8& 9\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
\end{example}

\begin{example}
\begin{quote}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}

\begin{turn}{45}Column 2\end{turn}&
\begin{turn}{45}Column 3\end{turn}\\
\hline

4& 5& 6\\

\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}
\end{example}

\begin{example}
\begin{quote}
\rule{0pt}{1.5in}\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\begin{rotate}{45}Column 1\end{rotate}
\rule{.5cm}{0pt}&

\end{example}

\end{sideways}
\end{example}

If you are interested in setting rotated material in tables or
figures, this presents no problem. Figure \ref{fig1} shows how
PostScript files which are being incorporated using `epsfig' can be
rotated at will, while Figure \ref{fig2} shows, in contrast, how
`epsfig' itself handles rotation. It is also possible to rotate the
whole of the figure environment, including caption, 
by using the `sidewaysfigure' ands `sidewaystable' environments
in place of `figure' and `table'. 

Sideways figures and tables always take up the whole page. They can be
rotated so that the bottom ot the figures is on the left or the right;
the default is to always turn to the right. If the `twoside' option
has been given to the main document class, this package then starts
rotating sideways figures according to the page number (this requires
two passes through \LaTeX{} at least). If you want the `twoside'
option, but want the figures always in one direction, use the
`figuresright' or `riguresleft' options to `rotating'.

The code used to produce figures
\ref{rotfloat1}--\ref{rotfloat4} is as follows:
\begin{description}
