Concerning rotation;
I'm sorry to bring the issue of rotation up again; I know it appeared
here a few months ago, but I can't solve my problem with the information
that was posted then:
I have a long and thin LaTeX picture environment that doesn't fit on a
page in normal orientation, defined by
\begin{center}
\begin{picture}
blah
\end{picture}
\end{center}
which I want to place on the page rotated through 90 degrees but still
centered. Sebastian Rahtz's rotate.sty won't do; the only dvi-to-ps program
it works with that I have access to is the latest dvi2ps from Clarkson, and
with that the whole effect is most peculiar, because of PS rounding errors,
I guess.
I could rewrite the picture, but that would be a real pain. Any other
suggestions ? Thanks.
