I am writing my thesis, and one of the requirements is that any pages containing only figures or tables must be top-aligned. An additional requirement is that the spacing between consecutive figures or tables must be the same throughout the document.
By default, when I have two or more tables on a float page they are equally spaced and centered vertically. In order to achieve top-alignment, I am using:
\makeatletter
\setlength{\@fptop}{0pt}
\setlength{\@fpbot}{0pt plus 1fil}
\makeatother
This brings the first float on the float page to the top, but it leaves a large amount of white space between the first and second float. I would like to specify the distance between floats on float pages so that it is the same as \floatsep
(i.e., so that the spacing between floats is the same as it would be if the two floats were at the top or bottom of a page). Is there an equivalent to \floatsep
for float pages? Or is there a way to make all floats top-aligned on a float page?
