[Tex/LaTex] Endfloat: Spacing of multiple tables per page at end of chapter

endfloatspacing

As an alternative to having each table or figure on a separate page at the end of each chapter, I'm using a command to put an \mbox around each figure/table. How can I control the spacing, as some tables start in the middle of each page and others start at the top?

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[tablesfirst,notablist]{endfloat}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\renewcommand\theposttable{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{posttbl}}
\renewcommand\thepostfigure{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{postfig}}
\renewcommand{\efloatseparator}{\mbox{}} %Rather than a separate page between each table


\begin{document}
\chapter{Data}
\startlist{lot}
\begin{table}
\caption{First Table} \label{tab:table1}
\end{table}

\begin{table}
\caption{First Table} \label{tab:table1}
\end{table}

\begin{table}
\caption{First Table} \label{tab:table1}
\end{table}

\printlist{lot}{}{\chapter*{List of tables in Chapter~\thechapter}}
\processdelayedfloats

\chapter{Learning}
\startlist{lot}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{histoOne1}
\caption{My caption for this figure}
\label{fig:MyFigure}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{histoOne1}
\caption{My caption for this figure}
\label{fig:MyFigure}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{histoOne1}
\caption{My caption for this figure}
\label{fig:MyFigure}
\end{figure}
\printlist{lot}{}{\chapter*{List of tables in Chapter~\thechapter}}
\processdelayedfloats

\end{document}

It seems that one has not much control about this.

In this case, anyway, it seems that using

\renewcommand{\efloatseparator}{\vfill}

gives a good result.

MWE:

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[tablesfirst,notablist]{endfloat}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\renewcommand\theposttable{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{posttbl}}
\renewcommand\thepostfigure{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{postfig}}
\renewcommand{\efloatseparator}{\vfill} %Rather than a separate page between each table


\begin{document}
\chapter{Data}
\startlist{lot}
\begin{table}
\caption{First Table} \label{tab:table1}
\end{table}

\begin{table}
\caption{First Table} \label{tab:table2}
\end{table}

\begin{table}
\caption{First Table} \label{tab:table3}
\end{table}

\printlist{lot}{}{\chapter*{List of tables in Chapter~\thechapter}}
\processdelayedfloats

\chapter{Learning}
\startlist{lot}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{histoOne1}
\caption{My caption for this figure}
\label{fig:MyFigure1}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{histoOne1}
\caption{My caption for this figure}
\label{fig:MyFigure2}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{histoOne1}
\caption{My caption for this figure}
\label{fig:MyFigure3}
\end{figure}
\printlist{lot}{}{\chapter*{List of tables in Chapter~\thechapter}}
\processdelayedfloats

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] figcaps and page breaks

Patch the \@figurepage command that's responsible for printing the figures; the usual setting is to leave 20pt of vertical space, which we can change to \clearpage:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{figcaps}
\printfigures
\figmarkon
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@figurepage}{\vspace{20pt}}{\clearpage}{}{}
\makeatother

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{figure}
    \caption{A floating figure}
    \label{float}
\medskip \em \footnotesize \lipsum[1]
\end{figure}

Check out figure \ref{float}.

\lipsum [2]

\begin{figure}
    \caption{A floating figure}
    \label{float2}
\medskip \em \footnotesize \lipsum[1]
\end{figure}

Check out figure \ref{float2}.

\lipsum [2]

Use the titletoc package to generate the partial LoFs:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage[notablist]{endfloat}
\usepackage{titletoc}

\renewcommand{\theposttable}{\Roman{posttbl}}
\renewcommand{\thepostfigure}{\Roman{postfig}}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\Roman{figure}}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\Roman{table}}

% new environment for landscape tables    
\newenvironment{ltable}
  {\begin{landscape}\begin{table}}
  {\end{table}\end{landscape}}

% make it known to endfloat
\DeclareDelayedFloatFlavor{ltable}{table}

\begin{document}

\chapter{This is Chapter 1}
\startlist{lot}
Some text in chapter 1.  See my figure \ref{tab:table1}.

\begin{table}
\caption{First Table} \label{tab:table1}
\end{table}

\begin{table}
\caption{Second Table} \label{tab:table2}
\end{table}

\printlist{lot}{}{\chapter*{List of tables in Chapter~\thechapter}}
\processdelayedfloats

\chapter{This is Chapter 2}
\startlist{lot}
Some text in chapter 2.  See my figure \ref{tab:table2}.

\begin{ltable}
\caption{Third Table} \label{tab:table3}
\end{ltable}

\begin{ltable}
\caption{Fourth Table} \label{tab:table4}
\end{ltable}

\begin{ltable}
\caption{Fifth Table} \label{tab:table5}
\end{ltable}

\printlist{lot}{}{\chapter*{List of tables in Chapter~\thechapter}}
\processdelayedfloats

\end{document}

After each chapter, use \startlist{lof} and at the end of a chapter, use

\printlist{lot}{}{\chapter*{List of tables in Chapter~\thechapter}}
\processdelayedfloats
