figure caption on different page

Post by tunamaccheese »

Dear Community,

Is it possible to put a figure caption on a different page than a figure? Specifically, I would like to have the first page have an unrotated caption, and then have the second page have a landscape rotated figure. But having the figure caption on the previous page and the figure on the next page (unrotated) would be a good start if that's all that is possible.

Here is an example showing what I have so far:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,onecolumn]{article}

\usepackage{graphicx,pstricks}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}

\begin{sidewaysfigure}[!p]
  \caption{I would like this caption to go on the previous page and NOT be rotated.}
\centering
\resizebox{\columnwidth}{!}{\includegraphics{fig.pdf}}
\end{sidewaysfigure}


\begin{figure}[!p]
  \caption{If doing it with a rotated figure is not possible, I can settle for a portrait oriented figure, as long as I can get this caption onto the previous page.}
\centering
\resizebox{\columnwidth}{!}{\includegraphics{fig.pdf}}
\end{figure}



\end{document}

I've searched for things along the lines of "caption on different page" but nothing relevant has come up...

Thank you,

--Jordan
