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.
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
