How to synchronize sidewaystable with the odd/even page?

Question

I have two tables, T1 and T2. I want these to appear in two pages as if the head-side of the table remains at the binding side of the book. Like this

|||||>|<|||||

|||||>|<|||||

|||||>|<|||||

I have used,

\begin{sidewaystable} 
\begin{center}
\caption{My caption} 
\begin{tabular}{ ... ...}

This indeed rotates the tables, but the top-side of the tables go to the edge-side of the page.

Any idea how to fix it? I would prefer to use rotate and tell to move X degree manually.

Answer 1

The dpfloat package may help.

\documentclass[twoside]{book}

\usepackage{dpfloat}
\title{Example}
\author{Me}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

text\clearpage
more text

\begin{figure}[p]
\begin{leftfullpage}
    Left part of float
\end{leftfullpage}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[p]
\begin{fullpage}
    Right part of float
\end{fullpage}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Answer 2

You mention that the two sidewaystables are currently both aligned at the top of their respective, consecutive pages. I interpret your question as asking how to get the first page to be bottom-aligned (while keeping the second table top-aligned).

The easiest way I know of accomplishing this is to issue the place the first of the two sideways-tables in a local group (say, with \begingroup and \endgroup statements) and to issue the follwing commands after the \begingroup command but before the \begin{sidewaystable} statement:

\makeatletter
\setlength\@fptop{0pt plus 1fill}
\setlength\@fpbot{0pt}
\makeatother

These commands serve to bottom-align the first of the two tables. To top-align the second table, you could use the same approach while exchanging the arguments of the two \setlength statements.
