Dear list, First one question: what is the MKIV-way of doing something like \startbuffer[a] % set text width for formula somehow \startformula\startalign \NC a \NC = b \NR \stopalign\stopformula \stopbuffer \framed{\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[\jobname-a.tmp]}} possibly adjusting width of formula to actual width (even if that is done manually)? And the other question: is there some quick trick that would "rotate the whole page" inside a document, so that the page would still be portrait, but text would be rotated with textwidth and textheight swapped, but with preserved main header (in reality I do not care about the header). I would like to put a narrow, but several lines long equation (\startalign) on left (bottom) and image on the right (top). I was playing with an approximation \rotate[rotation=90]{\vbox{ \startformula\startalign[n=6,align={middle,middle,right,middle,left,left}] \NC l \NC\hbox to 1em{}\NC m_l \NC\hbox to 1em{}\NC \text{orb.}\hbox to 2em{} \NC Y_{lm}\NR \NC 0 \NC\NC 0 \NC\NC s \NC \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{ 1}{π}} \NR \NC 1 \NC\NC 0 \NC\NC p_z \NC \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{ 3}{π}}\frac{z}{r} \NR \NC 1 \NC\NC \pm1 \NC\NC p_x \NC \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{ 3}{π}}\frac{x}{r} \NR \NC \NC\NC \NC\NC p_y \NC \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{ 3}{π}}\frac{y}{r} \NR \NC 2 \NC\NC 0 \NC\NC d_{z^2} \NC \frac{1}{4}\sqrt{\frac{ 5}{π}}\frac{3z^2-r^2}{r^2} \NR \NC 2 \NC\NC \pm1 \NC\NC d_{xz} \NC \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{15}{π}}\frac{xz}{r^2} \NR \NC \NC\NC \NC\NC d_{yz} \NC \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{15}{π}}\frac{yz}{r^2} \NR \NC 2 \NC\NC \pm2 \NC\NC d_{xy} \NC \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{15}{π}}\frac{xy}{r^2} \NR \NC \NC\NC \NC\NC d_{x^2-y^2} \NC \frac{1}{4}\sqrt{\frac{15}{π}}\frac{x^2-y^2}{r^2} \NR \stopalign\stopformula}} % and then externalfigure on the right ... but the formula takes exactly \textwidth space, I didn't manage to convince it to consume less space (I could probably change textwidth locally). I know for workarounds (typesetting a different document for example and then include the page), but I really wonder if switching orientation just for a page (to typeset a table for example) is doable in some elegant way. This is all low priority though. Thanks a lot, Mojca
