Hello I try to use vertical text in tbl headers , the first tbl line, to reduce the table width.
I searched, but found only that gpic can be used (http://www.troff.org/ faq.html), like this snipped .TS tab(#); L | L 1| L 1| L 1| L 1| L 1| L 1| L 1| L 1| L L L L n | L 1| n 1| n 1| n 1| n 1| n 1| n 1| n 1| n n n n. T{ .PS textwid = 0.1 textht = 0.1 up line invis "Lfnd. Nummer" aligned .PE T}#Gemeinde#T{ .PS textht = .2i textwid = .2i line invis up "Personen über" "10 Jahre" aligned .PE T}#T{ .PS line up invis "Kinder unter" "10 Jahre" aligned .PE T}#T{ .PS .PE T} _ 1#Alakap#62#30#16#608#—#111#64#37#117#5#1450 .... As you can see at the attached Screenshot, there is to much space in the table columns in the pic generated entries. I did experiments with textht and textwid, without success. I saw some examples rotating text with \X'ps: exec -90 rotate .... translate' but I have no idea to use it for a single table cell. Anyone any idea? Or better a solution for this common problem with tables? Regards Heinz
