Changing margins for float pages

Post by luca.b »

Hello. I'm writing a book, for each chapter I have put figures on separate pages (using a combination of afterpage and float packages to get the positioning right), but I find that the margins, which are perfectly acceptable for text (for the record, I'm using custom margins with geometry), are too narrow for figures. I would like to temporarily "extend" the margins (top, left, right, and bottom) so that the figure occupies more space.
Is that even possible?

Thank you.
