floatspage-numberingpositioning
I am using the report class. On one page of my thesis I have a large figure, so LaTeX does not provide a page number as the caption and figure cover the most amount of space.
How can I force a page number to be there, without making the figure or caption smaller? There are margins on the bottom of the page with empty white space so it is not like there is no space on the page at all. Worst case the page number could even be a bit lower than the rest of the pages in the thesis.
You can specify the footskip parameter
\documentclass[10pt, letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper, footskip=1in, margin=1.5in, marginparsep=7pt, marginparwidth=.6in}
\usepackage{multicol}
\begin{document}
hi
\newgeometry{footskip=0.5in, margin=1in}
\newpage
\begin{multicols}{2}
hello
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
with the document using [!tp] as in the question, you get
If you change the figure options to [t] then you get
Neither of which seem unreasonable.
