[Tex/LaTex] One table/figure per page in LaTeX

floatspositioning

I am struggling with figure/table positioning in LaTeX. Basically, I'd like to have one figure/table per page. I found how to, but the problem is that LaTeX puts the table/figure in a single page, but the page before the figure page is not filled with text. So, basically I have a page filled for an half, a page with my figure/table and lastly a page filled normally with text. I'd like to have the two pages filled homogeneously with text. Is there any option that I'm missing?

I am using the package float with p option and a \clearpage at the end of each figure/table.

I hope I've been clear in my explanation.

I've found the solution..this works just fine for me

\renewcommand{\textfraction}{0.01}
\renewcommand{\topfraction}{0.01}
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{0.01}
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.01}
\setcounter{totalnumber}{1}

thanks everybody for any kind of help

[Tex/LaTex] LaTeX inserts blank page between figures

You didn't provide a minimal example, so it's hard to say what exactly is going on. However, if you simply want "to avoid pages with only one figure", put the two \includegraphics macros inside one figure environment (and add some vertical space with \vspace{floatsep}).

EDIT: Contrary to Mico's assertion, it is possible to create separate cross-references to the graphics inside figure -- see my updated example.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

A cross-reference to figures~\ref{first}  and~\ref{second}.

\begin{figure}
\centering

\rule{1cm}{8cm}% placeholder for graphics
\caption{First}\label{first}

\vspace{\floatsep}

\rule{1cm}{8cm}% placeholder for graphics
\caption{Second}\label{second}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] avoid that figure gets its own page

I didn't have had success with the \topfraction, but there is another important setting which gave me less float-only pages. With \renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{.8}% I was able to specify that only pages with more than 80% of floats, will become pure float-only pages. The default is 0.6 so if a figure consumes 60% of the page it will get its own float-page.

HTH math.
