General ⇒ Figure to span multiple pages

[noematic.logos]

Hello latex wizards,

If this has been answered elsewhere please let me know, I searched and found nothing pertaining to this.

I have 2 files (a.pdf & b.pdf) that are conceptually part of the same 'Figure'. Both of the files contain 2 graphs that are split to improve readability because altogether they would not all fit on one page. Is there a package that will allow me to indicate that two separate files are part of the same Figure?

Currently the problem is that each \includegraphics[]{Media/a.pdf} & \includegraphics[]{Media/b.pdf} increments the figure counter and enters a separate entry into the the list of figures.

So I get:
Figure 1:.....
Figure 2:.....

What I'd like to get is something like
Figure 1: a large graph....
Figure 1 (cont):
or similar to how Tables are handled when they span multiple pages.

Thanks for any advice!

We had a similar discussion here some time ago [1]. The caption package allows to do that. For explanations see its documentation.

Got it! Thanks Stefan and the resources you posted.

This package handles Figures that span multiple pages:
http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackage ... d=captcont

and this package handles sub figures:
http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/subfig

This package handles Figures that span multiple pages:

Please note that the subfigure-captcont tandem has been superseeded by the subfig package. (And the captcont package is incompatible to the subfig and caption package.)
