The construction has no effect on documents with class option\begin{figure}[p] \begin{leftfullpage} <left side figure> \end{leftfullpage} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[p] \begin{fullpage} <right side figure> \end{fullpage} \end{figure}
oneside
(twoside
is the default for
book class).
A special case of this requirement places the caption for a float on
the next page. (This is useful if you have a float that “only just”
fits the page.) You can (with a certain amount of twiddling) make
this work with dpfloat, but the fltpage package is
specially designed for the job:
That example should produce a caption\documentclass[twoside]{article} \usepackage[leftFloats]{fltpage} \begin{document} ... \begin{FPfigure} \includegraphics{my-huge-figure} \caption{Whew! That was a big one!} \end{FPfigure} ... \end{document}
Figure <n> (facing page): Whew! …(Note, however, that the package is an old one, and declares itself to be a beta release, and contains no valid licence statement so that it is not in TeX Live. It seems to work, but…) A alternative route is the “continued” mechanism of the caption package. The
\
ContinuedFloat
macro makes a
small tweak to the next \
caption
command, so that the command
makes no increment to the caption number. This does not (of course)
have any effect on actual placement of the float, but it makes the
caption texts read ‘sensibly’:
which would produce:\begin{table} \caption{A table} ... \end{table} ... \begin{table}\ContinuedFloat \caption{A table (cont.)} ... \end{table}
Table 3: A table \dots Table 3: A table (cont.)
