Image Placement messes up Layout of following Page

Post by slacker »

Hi,

I have some tall images which must be placed on the top of the pages, but under the \subsubsection{titles}. These images (diagrams) take about 75-85% of the page height. After each image there's a:

Code: Select all

\begin{description}
[... 20-30 lines...]
\end{description}
then then another \subsubsection{titles} + image + description and so on...

I managed to place and center the images correctly by using:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{float}
[...]
\begin{figure}[H]
  \noindent\makebox[\textwidth]{
  \includegraphics[width=1.25\textwidth]{tall_image.png}}
  \centering
\end{figure}
But now a new problem comes up, and I have no idea how to fix it.
Basically, the text on the page after each image has much white space between each line: like some sort of text "vertical" justification. Basically the text is vertically spread in order to "fill" the whole page.

I attached a small screenshot which should explain the problem.

How can I fix this?
Thanks

See following attachment: the 3rd page has the issue.

The problem is not the page *follwing* the image, but the page right *before* the next image.

How can I fix this? Thanks

Hi,

you could use \raggedbottom to disable the vertical justification.
