I know that with \begin{sideways} ... \end{sideways} I can write a text vertically, but it rotates the text by +90 degrees. What should I do to rotate it by -90 degrees?

  • Does \begin{turn}{-90} or \begin{turn}{270} work? – knut Jan 19 '12 at 16:39
  • So, what's the best option of all these alternatives? – Dr_Zaszuś Apr 29 '15 at 11:28

You could use the environment turn.

Example:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{document}

\begin{sideways}Test\end{sideways}

\begin{turn}{-90}Test 90\end{turn}

\begin{turn}{270}Test 270\end{turn}

\hrule

Tabular:

\begin{tabular}{ccc}
Normal
&
\begin{turn}{-90}Test 90\end{turn}
&
\begin{turn}{270}Test 270\end{turn}
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

You can try the \reflectbox command from the graphics package. If you provide a Minimal Working Example, someone might be able to help with the specifics.

    If you're using graphics commands (and there's no reason not to) you might as well just use \rotatebox – Seamus Jan 19 '12 at 17:49
