Well...  I have not tried this with LaTeX figures but it "should" work
if you are using a Postscript output device.  Just go in and twiddle
with the Postscript code to rotate the picture by 90 degrees.  You
will probably need a Postscript manual (or a PS guru) but assuming
that you set up LaTeX to allocate the correct amount of space,
everything should be OK.

Let us know if it works (and how you did it).--
