Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ keep multiple float figures together

[ther]

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

Hi,

try the \FloatBarrier command from the placeins package.

HTML tags don't work in the forum, but BBCode does. So, don't disable BBCode. It's necessary to format posts, e. g. for inserting links. General settings can be done in the UCP.

It's not clear to me whether these figures have a common caption or each of them has its own. For the latter case gmedina proposed a solution. In the other case use a package like floatrow, hvfloat or »subcaption« (shipped with the caption package).

The placeins package seems appropriate for me because each figure contains an image of the same size and a separate caption text of equivalent length.

This package prevents the images from placement into subsequent sections, but I still have a problem with irregular placement of the images. Even though the images are the same size, some pages show a column of two images per page (which is what I want), or only one image per page (what I do not want).

Is there a way to force two images per page?

Since you haven't provided a minimal example yet, I assume that you are only interested in some hints instead of a specific solution. So I can only advice to force every figure environment being put on a float page with [!p] as placement parameters. If necessary, put a \clearpage or \cleardoublepage command after every second figure to force the output.
