I have some postscript figures that I'm rotating. The captions are
rotating, too, but LaTeX still thinks the lines should be \linewidth long
instead of \textheight. Is there a simple way to change a length parameter
just for the caption?
If it helps, the code looks something like this:
\begin{figure}
{\rotate{90}
\psfig{height=4.0in,figure=foo.ps}
\caption{I am a very long figure caption. I would like to have lines as
long as the page is high.}
} % end rotate
\end{figure}
Thanks,
Dan Rose
