I have to place two sidewaysfigure spanned each one on different pages.
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\ContinuedFloat
\centering
\subfloat[Change in ABC]{\label{fig:abc}\includegraphics[scale=0.6]{./abc.png}}
\quad
\subfloat[Change in DEF]{\label{fig:def}\includegraphics[scale=0.6]{./def.png}}
\caption{Change in ABC and DEF}
\label{fig:abcdef}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
But, when I use the above code, (or even when I change \quad to \clearpage) the figures appears in the same page.
subfig provides \ContinuedFloat command to be used like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{subfig}
\begin{document}
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\subfloat[First figure]{\includegraphics[width=0.28\textheight]{figures/a.png}\label{fig:a}} \quad
\subfloat[Second figure]{\includegraphics[width=0.28\textheight]{figures/b.png}\label{fig:b}}\quad
\subfloat[Third figure]{\includegraphics[width=0.28\textheight]{figures/c.png}\label{fig:c}}
\caption{Caption for the three rotated figures\label{fig:test}}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\clearpage
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\ContinuedFloat %%<-- put this in subsequest figures.
\centering
\subfloat[First figure]{\includegraphics[width=0.28\textheight]{figures/a.png}\label{fig:d}} \quad
\subfloat[Second figure]{\includegraphics[width=0.28\textheight]{figures/b.png}\label{fig:e}}\quad
\subfloat[Third figure]{\includegraphics[width=0.28\textheight]{figures/c.png}\label{fig:f}}
\caption[]{Caption for the three rotated figures\label{fig:test}}
%%% Use empty optional argument in \caption[] for subsequest figures.
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}
I'd just put the caption in a [b] figure and the image in a [p] the caption figure will float until there is room for the caption at the bottom if the page, and at the following page break the pending p float will necessarily be output. (I'd never use afterpage: I know who wrote it:-)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,graphicx}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-11]
\begin{figure}[b]
\caption[Some rather long caption]{\lipsum*[2]}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[p]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=.999\textheight]{example-image}% La
\end{figure}
\lipsum[12-20]
\end{document}
Best Answer
It seems you are using
\ContinuedFloatthe wrong way. It is supposed to be used in the second of twofigureenvironments, both of which contain\subfloats. See the example in section 2.2.3 The\ContinuedFloatCommand of thesubfigmanual.A possible solution using
sidewaysfigurewould then beYou must have a
\captionin the first float/sidewaysfigure, but in the second (and any subsequent figures) it is not required. If you do include a\captionin these, add an empty optional argument, else the main figure is listed multiple times in the LoF.
