Floats on their own on float pages

+

It’s sometimes necessary to force a float to live on a page by itself. +(It’s sometimes even necessary for every float to live on a +page by itself.) When the float fails to ‘set’, and waits for the end +of a chapter or of the document, the natural thing to do is to declare +the float as +

+ \begin{figure}[p!] +

+but the overriding ! modifier has no effect on float page floats; so +you have to make the float satisfy the parameters. +Moving tables and figures offers some +suggestions, but doesn’t solve the one-float-per-page question. +

The ‘obvious’ solution, using the counter totalnumber +(“total number of floats per page”) doesn’t work: +totalnumber only applies to floats on ‘text’ pages (pages +containing text as well as one or more float). So, to allow any +size float to take a whole page, set \floatpagefraction really +small, and to ensure that no more than one float occupies a page, make +the separation between floats really big: +

+
+\renewcommand\floatpagefraction{.001}
+\makeatletter
+\setlength\@fpsep{\textheight}
+\makeatother
+
