I give up. I am not a TeXpert...
I have been trying to use rotate.tex to rotate an equation and center it
on the page. I want to rotate it to put one formula in landscape mode
centered vertically and horizontally on the page with no page numbers.
The following does not work for large formulas:
\input rotate
\newbox\rotbox
%
\setbox\rotbox=\vbox{$$ \input blah.tex $$}
\centerline{\rotl\rotbox}
\bye
where \input blah.tex is a file containing a formula dumped from Mme. The
formula is large and is a matrix. Unfortunately all I get is the formula
in the middle of the page centered vertically (vertically that is in
landscape) and half the formula chopped off since it is not centered
horizontally (in landscape mode). I have tried other commands to get it
right but it just doesn't seem to work!
I would appreciate some insight :-)
I want to get a generic command down so that I can stick it in a Mme
function and have TeXview pop-up automatically with the formula or at
least shoot it out to the printer without further intervention.
