Manage a document with many figures

Post by Gius_c88 »

Hello to everyone!
I'm sorry if i don't introduce myself in a dedicated topic but i'm a kind of a desperate, so...

I'm Giuseppe from Italy and I'm next to the graduation in Mechanical Engineering. I'm finishing my master degree thesis. This is my first big job with LaTeX and I need some help for the final review of the job.

As I wrote before, I'm writing master thesis with a lot of graphs, figures and equation. I was able to manage well all the object 'till now. I'm adding 10 graphs with the results of my job and they are all at the same location in the document. So i've this problem: I want all those graphs in some dedicated pages (in 5 pages), without any part of the text. I've tried with the float package option h, !h and h! but none of them seems to work. I've also tried with \newpage at the end of the figures. The result is that I have in each page 2 figures and small part of the text of the next section. Of course this is unreadable.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Giuseppe

Welcome,

i guess you loaded package caption, so you can do something like the following:

Code: Select all

text
\clearpage
\includegraphics{firstPicture}
\captionof{figure}{actual caption}
\clearpage
\includegraphics{secondPicture}
\captionof{figure}{actual caption}
\clearpage
\includegraphics{thirdPicture}
\captionof{figure}{actual caption}
\clearpage
much more text
But please be aware, that this is the fully hand-crafted version. Using p as the float specifier might be more suiting.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Hi Giuseppe,

welcome to the forum!

Which software did you use to draw the figures? Can you post a sample? I used TikZ for such images.
