Hi Tom...Thanks for such a quick response.

I am trying to render to a pdf format. I tried all three options, the first one with the grid works to rotate the graph but it doesn't respect the margins or the size of the graph. The last two definitely don't work. :(
I also tried saving the graph and including it as an image... I still can't do it but I keep trying.
`

another example i tried

\newpage
\begin{landscape}
Landscape:

summary(cars)

\end{landscape}
`

Howdy @Haly-en - as far as I know out.extra and out-extra are arguments passed to CSS/LaTeX layer - while they may work, it might be dependent on LaTeX packaging?

I am not at all a LaTeX expert, and there may be LaTeX native methods, you may want to reference: https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9323

Or could rotate the image after saving it on disk with magick:

ggsave("img.png", gg_obj)

library(magick)
plot_img <- image_read("img.png")

# rotate
image_rotate(plot_img, 90)
