Re: [Groff] Rotating an EPS file

[Kees Zeelenberg]

The following code, written for use with -ms, gives macros for setting
text in landscape mode. The pagewidth for A4 paper, 21 centimeters,
is hardcoded. PV is a macro that resets point size and line spacing.
Just call iniLA once for initializing the landscape environment, and
call LA to start printing in landscape, and EA for ending printing in
landscape. I have used LA/EA for setting a whole page in landscape
(except the page headers and footers), and ROS /RON for rotating a
single string of text.
For examples see
http://home.hccnet.nl/kees.zeelenberg/ipfbook/appcpdf.zip
page 222 (set with LA/EA) and table C36 (page 41 within pdf file;
set with ROS/RON).
