General ⇒ Avoiding blank page between bibliography and appendix

[Marei]

Latex produces a blank page with only a page number after the end of my bibliography and before my appendixes. I don't wan't this blank page, what should I do?
Thanx again!

There is probably a \clearpage or \newpage somewhere. Check the end of the bbl file. Are you using \appendix to signal the start of appendixes---make sure there is no \clearpage or \newpage around it? Would you post some (skeletal) code?

I'm afraid there's no \newpage anywhere near my bibliography or appendixes.

This is my preamble:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,norsk]{report}
\pdfpagewidth 210mm
\pdfpageheight 297mm
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\usepackage{ccaption}
\usepackage{color}

And here's what comes at the end of my document:

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{99} \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliografi}

(My bibliography)

\end{thebibliography}

\chapter*{Filmografi}\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Filmografi}

\begin{description}

(My list of films. A stupid way to make a filmography, probably, but...)

\end{description}

(Here latex inserts a blank page. I have no idea why. I thought maybe it did it by default?)

\appendix

\chapter{Bilde- og karaktergalleri}

{\footnotesize
\begin{picture}(150,300)

(My pics that I inserted with \includegraphics)

\end{picture}
}

By coincidence I just found that strangely enough this blank page only appears when I insert my picture environment.

Why do you use that strange code to insert your pictures? I assume the unit parameters of the picture environment were set to 1mm or something like that. But even if done so, the picture environment is too big to fit on a page.

Code: Select all

\appendix

\chapter{Bilde- og karaktergalleri}

{\footnotesize
\begin{picture}(150,300)

(My pics that I inserted with \includegraphics)

\end{picture}
}

And that might be the cause of the problem. I suggest to use a figure environment with nested subfigures provided by the subfig package.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]     % or maybe [!p] to put the pictures on a page without any text
  \subfloat[Caption for subfigure 1\label{subfig-1:pictures}]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\linewidth]{pic01}}
  \subfloat[Caption for subfigure 2\label{subfig-2:pictures}]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\linewidth]{pic02}}
  …
  \caption{Caption for all pictures}\label{fig:pictures}
\end{figure}

For further information on aligning the subfigures refer to the documentation of the subfig package.
