Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ figure caption on the next page-is this possible?

[marto1980]

Hello!
I am running texlive2009 on Slackware Linux-13.0.

I have a big picture that must not be shrunk and that occupies a whole page. The figure caption has to go on the top of the next page. Is there a way to achieve that? Currently I have clumsily solved the problem by typesetting the picture without a caption and then adding the caption text at the beginning of the next page with smaller size font. However, this solution precludes the appearing of the caption in the list of figures, as one might expect.

So it is possible to naturally typeset the figure caption on the next page? And how?

Regards,

Martin

Take a look at the fltpage package:

The fltpage package offers the outhouse of the caption for figures or tables which needs the whole page for its contents. This will be done by placing the caption on the bottom of the previous or next page.
