When you insert an image into your latex document you can rotate, and resize it it at the same time. It is useful, especially if you are importing a full page postscript graph that has a landscape layout:
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth, angle=270]{graph.ps}
\label{fig:sample-graph}
\caption{Sample Graph}
\end{figure}
In the example above I’m rotating the image by 270 degree, and set the image width to be half the width of the text on the page.

Great! I didn’t know about the “\textwidth” tag – I used to always use “scale=…”. This is much better though.
Thank you for that hint with the angle! I feared I’d have to rotate the whole page, this solution is much easier :-)
Nice, but what are you supossed to do if you want the caption also rotated and in the right side of the page?
