I'm trying to rotate a Tikz-UML sequence diagram by 90 degrees, but the lay-out is completely screwed up when I do. At the moment, I use following code:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside]{article}
\usepackage{tikz-uml}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[rotate=90]
\begin{umlseqdiag}
    \umlobject[no ddots]{Application}
    \umlcreatecall[no ddots, x=4]{Application}{ProfilePageGUI}
    \umlcreatecall[no ddots, x=7]{ProfilePageGUI}{RemoveUserDialog}
    \umlcreatecall[no ddots, x=10]{ProfilePageGUI}{ConfirmUserDeletionDialog}
    \umlobject[no ddots, x=13]{User}
    \begin{umlcall}[op={openProfilePage()}, return=""]{Application}{ProfilePageGUI}
    \end{umlcall}
\end{umlseqdiag}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

The horizontal (original, without rotation) version looks like this: enter image description here

But, when I rotate it, it looks like this: enter image description here

Is there a different way to rotate this image? I want to do this, because I don't have enough horizontal space for the full diagram.

EDIT: I updated the code to make it compile.

  • Can you give an MWE? – Steven B. Segletes Apr 18 '16 at 17:17
  • @StevenB.Segletes The code in my post, should work. I can give you another diagram that's complete if you want. – Pieter Verschaffelt Apr 18 '16 at 17:31

    The code as it is given at the moment is not compilable. @StevenB.Segletes was asking for a minimal working example, which means a fully and without errors compileable code illustrating your problem, starting with \documentclass... and ending with \end{document}. – JMP Apr 18 '16 at 17:35
  • Do I understand correct, that you like to have rotated image that it can be fit in a page? if this is the case, than try to insert image in for example sidewaysfigure environment or encapsulate it in \rotatebox{90}{\begin{tikzpicture} ...\end{tikzpicture}}. – Zarko Apr 18 '16 at 18:07
  • Yes indeed, I want to rotate it to make it fit. I will try your solution! Thank you very much :) – Pieter Verschaffelt Apr 18 '16 at 18:26

As far as I understand, you looking for rotating complete image as such. This you can achieve on the two ways:

  • use \rotatebox{<angle>}{ ... } from package graphicx
  • use sidewaysfigure environmnent from package rotating

I'm sorry, but I can't provide MWE with your code since some used package are not available in my MikTeX repository.
