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).--
