Page Layout ⇒ Force Figures to appear at the Top of a Float Page

[arwintcher]

I'm using the Memoir class for my thesis.

I have one very figure-heavy chapter, and in a few places figures appear on a page by themselves. But when they do, they are floating in the middle of the page. How can I force them to appear at the top of the page when this happens? Various combinations of !ht, and tweaking parameters like this:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\topfraction}{0.85}
\renewcommand{\textfraction}{0.1}
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.75}

don't seem to do the trick. My examiners have specifically requested that the figures appear at the top of the page when they are by themselves, and within the section which refers to them. Otherwise I would just leave it because it's making me crazy.

What is the trick that I am missing?

Ahhh, thanks! Why couldn't I seem to find that myself...?
