Preventing the positioning of figures above each other

Hi;

I think it does not look nice when two figures on one page are positioned above each other. Rather I would like to see one figure at the top of the page and one on the bottom, with the text in between. Is there a way to force LateX to do so (if possible) for the whole document? This would be ...

Using overpic in a subfigure enviroment

Hello,

In my thesis, I label the subfigures with the \subfigure command, in order to have nice captions with (a), (b) etc. I also know how to use the overpic command to write text over a figure.

how to assign a value to a variable

Hello,

I am a newbe in Latex and I'm wondering how to assign a value to a variable. This could then be useful to give every figure a constant figure width, for example. This is what I am trying to do
