I'm writing my thesis using LaTeX and I have the following question. Since my figure is too wide to fit the layout, I rotate it using sidewaysfigure environment from rotating package. I'd like to clear out some typographical issues with respect to international and/or Czech typographical norms or conventions.


Should the caption of the figure also be rotated (as sidewaysfigure does)? I assume it should.
What about page number? Should it be put sideways or not or should it disappear completely since this is a special page?


This is a “manual mirror” of the following question on TeX.SE: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/188512/typography-of-sideways-figure

The caption of an figure should be below the figure. So if you are looking on a figure you should be able to read the caption. If the figure is rotated the caption should be rotated too.

Because the page number usually has a fixed place were it is printed in a document I would not rotate the page number, I would just leave it out. But this is my opinion ...
