Hello all,
This is my first post and I'd like to say, I'm very new to Lyx (so bear with me).
I'm trying to build a new document class for a letter and I'd like to add a vertical banner along the left side of the letter. The example I'm using is on the Powerdot Documentation:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/powerdot/doc/powerdot.pdf
I want to add a similar banner as shown on the left which states "powerdot Documentation".
Has someone seen this in a document class somewhere?
This is what's doing it:
\def\mktitledecor{%
\rput[tl]{90}(-5.5,-26.51){%
\psline[linewidth=1pt](0,1.5)(\paperheight,1.5)%
\rput[lB](.075\paperheight,.5){\pscharpath[linecolor=blue!50,%
fillcolor=yellow!20,fillstyle=solid,linewidth=.5pt]%
{\Huge\bfseries\sffamily powerdot}%
}%
\rput[rB](.925\paperheight,.5){\pscharpath[linecolor=blue!50,%
fillcolor=yellow!20,fillstyle=solid,linewidth=.5pt]%
{\Huge\bfseries Documentation}%
}%
\psline[linewidth=1pt](0,0)(\paperheight,0)%
}%
}
This is using the pstricks package.
I've been playing around with this sort of thing, but I can't quite get
it to work. When I try to do this:
\rput[tl]{90}(0,0){}
e.g. the text won't rotate. Nor dos this work:
\rput[tl](0,0){\rotateleft{powerdot}}
I'm not sure why not. I can get the lines to rotate, via:
\rput[tl]{90}(-5.5,-26.51){%
\psline[linewidth=1pt](0,1.5)(\paperheight,1.5)%
\psline[linewidth=1pt](0,0)(\paperheight,0)%
}%
but not the text. I've got \usepackage{pstricks,pst-char} and no errors,
just no rotation.
Anyone?
