[Tex/LaTex] How to set the width of a landscape figure to the textwidth

floatslandscape

I would like to have a figure in landscape format to fill the whole page, i.e. I would like the width to be the textheight of a portrait page or the textwidth of a landscape page, respectively.

Here is an example of my code:

\documentclass[a5paper, 11pt]{scrbook}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{pdflscape}    

\begin{document}    
\begin{landscape}
 \begin{figure}
 \centering
 \def\svgwidth{\textwidth}
 \input{figure.pdf_tex}
 \caption{Example Figure}
 \end{figure}
\end{landscape}    
\end{document}

When running this through pdfLaTeX I get a landscape figure that is as wide as the textwidth of a portrait page.

Using

\def\svgwidth{\textheight}

does not change the output.

How can I get the figure to fill the whole page?

I cannot include figure.pdf since this format is not allowed to upload, but you can find figure.png further down.

The following is the code content of figure.pdf_tex:

 \providecommand\color[2][]{%

[lb]{\smash{Text}}}%
\end{picture}%
\endgroup%

Try \linewidth. It works for me with \resizebox.
