[Tex/LaTex] Protect text from being interrupted by figures or tables

floatspositioning

I have read How to protect text from being split by a float? by it does not exactly cover what I want.

I have a text that is interspersed with figures. I do not wish to copy all the figures to the end of the document, but wish that they all appear there, leaving the text proper uninterrupted by them. Isn't there some environment that could do this for me ?

Have a look at the endfloat package. In the following example, I use the nomarkers package option to suppress place markers in the text and the nolists option to supress the creation of (here) a list of figures.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[nomarkers,nolists]{endfloat}

\begin{document}

\section{foo}

Some text.

\begin{figure}
\centering
\rule{1cm}{1cm}
\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Changing float placement parameters mid document is a bit fragile, but this works here

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{afterpage}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
   \def\a{ I am a figure}
   \a\\\a\\\a\\\a\\\a\\\a\\\a\\\a\\\a\\\a\\\a
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
    \def\b{I am another figure}
    \b\\\b\\\b\\\b\\\b\\\b\\\b\\\b\\\b\\\b\\\b
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
    \def\c{I am yet another figure}
    \c\\\c\\\c\\\c\\\c\\\c\\\c\\\c\\\c\\\c\\\c
\end{figure}


{\setcounter{totalnumber}{0}
\def\d{I am text}
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\
\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d\\\d}\afterpage{\setcounter{totalnumber}{3}}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Splitting figures/tables into separate files

More experimenting has lead to the use of the endfloat package. This moves all of the figures and tables to the end with their own page for each, that can then be split out of the PDF file using other software. Just adding the \usepackage{endfloat} to the preamble makes it work, although the default options may need changed.

For my particular application and to facilitate splitting out the pages later, I also suppressed the page numbering on the float pages by adding \AtBeginDelayedFloats{\pagenumbering{gobble}}
