Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figure placement when using [p!] (page)

[hughes]

I'm trying to get each figure on its own page for a dissertation (document class book), so (using graphicx) I declared:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[p!tb]
	...
\end{figure}

Figures are put on a separate page, but the page occurs at the end of the chapter. Is there any way to have the figure appear on the page after the first reference to it?

Thanks

Hi,

you could use \clearpage to force the output of the figures, further you could combine it with afterpage.

Put the exclamation mark first in the option list.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!p]
  % figure contents
\end{figure}

The other parameters are not necessary if each figure shall appear on its own page like you described.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Type that before figures:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{afterpage}
...
\afterpage{\clearpage}

This is not relevant to the problem discussed here because of a completely different environment for the figure.

I am sure the OP has moved on from this question, but I am putting this here for future users. I am also writing my thesis and am having the same problem. You can put the command \clearpage at any point in the document that you want figures with the placement code [!p] to end up on:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
...
\end{figure} \clearpage

If I want two sequential figures to have their own pages, I'll write \clearpage after both of the \end{figure} commands. This will create a two new pages that floating, own-page figures can use.
