[Tex/LaTex] Two rotated tables in one page

ieeetranrotatingtables

I'm writing a paper using the IEEEtran style, which uses two column per page.

At some point, I had to make some two big tables, so I used \sideways to rotate them.

The pages' height fill all available space, but they are thin, and I could (and should) put two of them in the same page. I'm defining my tables like this:

\begin{table*}[h]
  \centering
  \caption{Performance of Second Based Operators applied to the clown image.}
  \label{tab:sodclown}  
  \begin{sideways}
  \begin{tabular}{ ccc }
  ...
  \end{tabular}
  \end{sideways}
\end{table*}

How can I do so that they are in the same page if it is possible?

A fundamental thing to remember is that you can have multiple \captions (and other constructs) within the same (single) float. So, the idea would be to place both tabulars in the same table*, each with their own caption. We can allocate 50% of the float width to each using a minipage of width .5\textwidth.

Here is way to achieve what you're after:

\documentclass{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\begin{table*}[h]
  \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
    \centering
    \rotatebox{90}{%
      \begin{tabular}{ *{10}{c} }
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10
      \end{tabular}%
    }
    \caption{Clown B.}\label{tab:clownB}
  \end{minipage}%
  \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
    \centering
    \rotatebox{90}{%
      \begin{tabular}{ *{10}{c} }
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
        A & B & C & D & E & F & G & H & J \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10
      \end{tabular}%
    }
    \caption{Clown A.}\label{tab:clownA}
  \end{minipage}
\end{table*}

\end{document}

The above example sets each table in a minipage. Each tabular is rotated 90 degrees with a standalone \caption.

[Tex/LaTex] IEEEtran – Two tables on top of page, two column

From your description, it seems that the two tabular environments are being moved to a floats only page; if this is the case, the float will be placed centered vertically on the page; to change this behaviour, you can change the value for the length \@dblfptop, using

\makeatletter
\@dblfptop 0pt
\makeatother

A complete example:

\@dblfptop 0pt

[Tex/LaTex] Two tables in one line, problem with text between tables

@Hadson, Code in your link is far from a MWE ... Anyway, you have two problems:

you request from tables (with empty line between them) to be each in new line
second tables are to wide to both fits in one line in text width.

For show what I do, I made from your code the following MWE:

For first two table it was enough to erase empy line between the. For quick test I made distance between them with quad. Instead it you can use hfill associated with \centeringcommand after \begin{table}.

For second two table was my suspect in comment right. They are to wide. So, you see how to make columns with heads Liczba okresów k and Czas t[s] dla k okresów narrower. One way to do this is typeset them in more lines as I do in above MWE: in preamble add package makecell and then use its macro thead.

As you can see, I add to tables option [t] for aligning on top (since the first two are of different heights). Pictures of both tables after aforementioned suggestions:
