Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Urgent help: page break with separate page of figure

[jingpro]

I am writting my PhD thesis, need to put a large figure in landscape to a separate page. So I type as following:

Code: Select all

Paragraph 1 of texts

\begin{landscape}
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.8]{filename.png}
\caption{blahblah}
\label{fig:figurename}
\end{figure}
\end{landscape}

Paragraph 2 of texts

Now I can display the figure in a separate page in landscape mode. However, on the page before the figure, there are big area of white space below the paragraph 1, and the the paragraph 2 is displayed from the page next to the figure.

I tried with the floating option of figure command, but no luck to success. Can anyone tell me how to make the texts from paragraph 2 to automatically fill in the white space below the paragraph 1?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,

instead of using the landscape environment, try using the sidewaysfigure environment provided by the rotating package.

Cool, it works perfectly. Thanks you sooooo much!
