Very large figure

Post by Alberto314 »

Hi All,

I have a problem with putting large figures in my report. I need to put in figures so detailed that they require a full A4 to be readable. Then, caption must go staight afterwards in the next page: any ideas how to achieve this?

Ideally, I would also like to include a (very brief) reference in the Figure page that the caption is on the next page, and to show the page number in the large figure page (because ithe figure covers the full page, the page number is not readable).

Thank you very much!
Best,
Alberto

pdfpages to include a full size A4 PDF and \captionof (either from a KOMA-Script class or package caption) for the caption on the next page. For the small caption you can use option pagecommand of \includepdf. This can be used also to get a page number on the page. The default is pagecommand=\thispagestyle{empty}. An explicit pagecommand={} would already use the standard page style for the included page. If you need another placement of the page number you can use page style packages like scrlayer-scrpage or the more generic scrlayer or background packages like eso-pic.
