If this is too difficult, I'll when you say `display', do you mean `print'? If the latter, and if you have a PostScript printer, then it is moderately easy. It depends which dvi to PostScript program you use. I have a style file which does different things depending on the value of a counter \driver@setup, but the only ones I know about are dvi2ps, dvips and dvitops. in my parlance, the syntax would be \begin{figure} \begin{sideways} foo \caption{} \end{sideways} \end{figure} but there is a many a slip 'twixt cup and lip, and it only works if you were born an Acquarius (as I find out from people to whom I send it for whom it does not sit up and beg). but the concept is easy. I am also allowing the figures and tables to be displayed on separate pages. I'd appreciate if you could share your experience this is an ordinary feature: \begin{figure}[p] sebastian -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
