My question is related to How to wrap text around landscape page. Contrary to explanation and solution there, my goal is to have a table in landscape with a caption that is located on top of it vertically on the left. I have learnt about two ways to specify a landscape page. The solution advocated in the above thread is to use \rotatebox{90} in conjunction with a [p] float specified for the figure. This works also with table. However, when I add a caption the caption is located on top of the table in horizontal direction (not rotated). The text float (wrap) around the table is fine. The code I use is basically

\begin{table}  [p]
  \caption{This is the table caption}
  \rotatebox{90}{
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}
      ...
     \end{tabular}
  }
\end{table}

An alternative is to use package pdflandscape. The code now becomes

\begin{landscape}
  \begin{table}  [p]
    \caption{This is the table caption}
    \centering
      \begin{tabular}
       ...
      \end{tabular}
    }
  \end{table}
\end{landscape}

The caption is nicely above the table (vertically on the left), but now the text does not float around the table anymore. How do I get both, the float and the caption vertically on the left?

  • @leandriis Great, the first link presents a workable hack. – tomka Jun 18 '18 at 14:11
  • @leandriis Okay sidewaystable is even better. – tomka Jun 18 '18 at 14:15
