I have a large (full page) landscape figure that I would like to appear on the page opposite to a large (full page) portrait figure. The landscape figure is generated like so:
\afterpage{
\begin{landscape}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1]{path/to/the/file.pdf}
\caption{The Caption}
\end{figure}
\end{landscape}
}
The afterpage
allows the landscape page to float around. I would now like to add a figure that is on the opposite page; I have done so currently by adding it into the landscape
and rotating it:
\afterpage{
\begin{landscape}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1]{path/to/the/file.pdf}
\caption{The Caption}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1,angle=-90]{path/to/another/file.pdf}
\caption{The Other Caption}
\end{figure}
\end{landscape}
}
This has a couple of problems with it, though - firstly, it doesn't ensure that they're on facing pages (only that they're on consecutive pages), and secondly it results in a rotated caption for the second figure, which is not ideal because it's really a portrait figure.
I have looked for a solution to this problem, but can't seem to find it. Can anyone suggest one, or point me in the right direction?
\cleardoublepage
and thetwoside
option (if you're using thearticle
class) are probably your friend. But you'll probably get a more comprehensive answer from someone that actually knows Latex if you include a minimal working example.
