I run into a problem when running sidewaysfigure in amsart. The code below illustrates
\documentclass[a4paper,reqno]{amsart}
%\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[figuresright]{rotating}
\begin{document}
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\rule{0.75\textheight}{0.5\textheight}
\caption{dummy figure}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}
When I compile this in amsart the black square is not allinged correctly (the top is cut off). When I compile in article the problem goes away.
I would rather stick to amsart so am wondering if anyone has encountered this issue before / knows of a fix? I've used a combination of landscape and afterpage, which doesn't cause this issue but can lead to pretty random gaps appearing in the text and some other funnies with more figures involved, so I'd rather stick to sidewaysfigure if possible.
Thanks in advance for your help. Pawel

package is offered in the ams author faq. however, it's somewhat more complicated than the answer given by @egreg, so his answer will be considered for addition to the faq suggestions. in general, if a problem is encountered using one of the ams document classes, it's not a bad idea to check the author faq.
