[Tex/LaTex] Sideways table takes new page

appendicesrotatingtables

I am writing a report and I want to place a big sidewaystable inside an appendix. More specifically, this appendix does not contain anything else but the table.

\newpage\begin{appendices}

\section{References}
%\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{References}

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{bibliography}

\newpage
\section{Pitch - Frequency Table} \label{pitchfrequency}
\begin{sidewaystable}[htbp!]
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
  ...a lot of cell data...
\end{tabular}
\caption{Something.}
\end{sidewaystable}

\end{appendices}

I want the result to be one page for the appendix Pitch – Frequency Table, consisting of the appendix name and the table. However, the above code creates two pages, one for the appendix name and one for the sideways table. Any tips?

These are the two pages shown in Overleaf:

This will rotate the caption.

\documentclass{ieeetran}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}
\begin{appendices}

\section{References}
%\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{References}

%\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
%\bibliography{bibliography}

\newpage
\section{Pitch - Frequency Table} \label{pitchfrequency}
\vfil
% get width of tabular
\sbox0{\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
  ... & a & lot & of & cell & data & ...
\end{tabular}}
{\centering
\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{\begin{minipage}{\wd0}
\usebox0
\captionof{table}{Something.}
\end{minipage}}%
}
\end{appendices}
\end{document}

Table of Contents – Manage TOC and Appendices

You can always add a line like:

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\protect\numberline{A}{Appendix A}}

and section gives the format you want. Then the level in the toc and the format of the heading is independent:

\newcounter{appendix}
\renewcommand\theappendix{\Aleph{appendix}}
\newenvironment{appendix}{%
    \refstepcounter{appendix}
    \subsection*{Appendix \theappendix}
    \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\protect\numberline{\theappendix}{Appendix \theappendix}}
}{}

I bet there's a package that does this too ;-) Also instead of using \subsection you could define your own heading with \@startsection. But that is more involved and probably not necessary.

As for the bibliography, if I understand you correctly, you can do it in the same way:

\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{References}
\bibliography{mybibliography}

[Tex/LaTex] List of appendices without chapter titles

Here is an idea:

\newcommand{\startappendix}{%
\pagebreak%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}%
\fancyhead[L]{{\bfseries Appendices}}%
\setcounter{section}{0}%
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}%
}

\newenvironment{newappendix}[2]%
{\gdef\headername{#1}%
\phantomsection%
\refstepcounter{section}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix \thesection~- #1}%
\label{app:#2}}
{\fancyhead[R]{Appendix \thesection~- \headername}
\newpage}

Add these two commands in your preamble. The first one should be used when you want to start your appendices. The second one is to use each time you want to change the name of the current appendix. The first argument is the name of the appendix and the second is what will be added the the app: prefix for the label. You can then call the appendix with the \ref{app:<your second argument>} wherever you want in your code.

Example

Here is a short example of the code and its output

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\newcommand{\startappendix}{%
\pagebreak%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}%
\fancyhead[L]{{\bfseries Appendices}}%
\setcounter{section}{0}%
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}%
}

\newenvironment{newappendix}[2]%
{\gdef\headername{#1}%
\phantomsection%
\refstepcounter{section}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix \thesection~- #1}%
\label{app:#2}}
{\fancyhead[R]{Appendix \thesection~- \headername}
\newpage}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{One}
\section{One-one}

\startappendix

\begin{newappendix}{First}{1}
\includegraphics[width=12cm,height=15cm]{test}
\end{newappendix}

\begin{newappendix}{Second}{2}
\includegraphics[width=12cm,height=15cm]{test}
\end{newappendix}

\end{document}

Table of contents

First appendix

EDIT Another way to go I found thanks to egreg for the second command:

\fancyhead[R]{Appendix \rightmark}

\newcommand{\newappendix}[2]{%
  \clearpage%
  \phantomsection%
  \refstepcounter{section}%
  \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix \thesection~- #1}%
  \markright{\thesection \ -- #1}%
  \label{app:#2}
}
