How do I rotate any general PS image for landscape mode?

This question has probably been asked many times before, but here goes...

We have a user at this site producing graphs using grap, pic etc, with the
output being converted into postscript for printing on an Apple Laserwriter II.
The output from grap is currently in portrait mode, however we require the
graph to be printed landscape. We can't seem to find any way to do this from
within grap, so I figured the easiest way would be to put just to do a
"90 rotate" before drawing anything (I'm not a postscript hacker, I just dug
around a few other programs :-) This didn't work...

...does anyone have any suggestions as to how to rotate the image being drawn?

Any help on this would be *greatly* appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

John
