I am very new to LaTeX's usage. I have a very big picture which takes about two pages. I found out how to do it on the following link How to include a picture over two pages, left part on left side, right on right (for books)? It has almost worked with some few exceptions.

As a consequence this has changed my entire text after the figure to Latin and I am not able to get it back to English.

In addition, the image is not appearing where I want it to appear but rather 8 pages after the wished position.

\clearpage and \cleardoublepage are not working

here is how I called the image

 \lipsum
 \lipsum
 \twopagepicture{t}{l}{img/myimage.jpeg}{Test}
 \lipsum
 \lipsum

Below is the code in the preambles

\renewcommand{\topfraction}{.99}
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{.99}
\renewcommand{\textfraction}{.01}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\twopagepicture}[4]{%
  \cleardoublepage
  \checkoddpage
\ifoddpage
    \expandafter\@firstofone
\else
    \expandafter\afterpage
\fi
{\afterpage{%
\if #1t%
    \if #2p%

        \thispagestyle{empty}%
        \afterpage{\thispagestyle{empty}}%
    \fi
\fi

\begin{figure}[#1]
    \if #2p%
        \if #1t%
            \vspace*{-\dimexpr1in+\voffset+\topmargin+\headheight+\headsep\relax}%
        \fi
    \fi
    \if #1b%
        \caption{#4}%
    \fi
    \makebox[\textwidth][l]{%
    \if #2p\relax
        \let\mywidth\paperwidth
        \hskip-\dimexpr1in+\hoffset+\evensidemargin\relax
    \else
        \let\mywidth\linewidth
    \fi
    \adjustbox{trim=0 0 {.5\width} 0,clip}{\includegraphics[width=2\mywidth]{#3}}}%
    \if #1b\else
        \caption{#4}%
    \fi
    \if #2p%
        \if #1b%
            \vspace*{-\dimexpr\paperheight-\textheight-1in-\voffset-\topmargin-  \headheight-\headsep\relax}%
        \fi
    \fi
\end{figure}%

\begin{figure}[#1]
    \if #2p%
        \if #1t%
            \vspace*{-\dimexpr1in+\voffset+\topmargin+\headheight+\headsep\relax}%
        \fi
    \fi
    \makebox[\textwidth][l]{%
    \if #2p%
        \let\mywidth\paperwidth
        \hskip-\dimexpr1in+\hoffset+\oddsidemargin\relax
    \else
        \let\mywidth\linewidth
    \fi
    \adjustbox{trim={.5\width} 0 0 0,clip}{\includegraphics[width=2\mywidth]{#3}}}%
    \if #2p%
        \if #1b%
            \vspace*{-\dimexpr\paperheight-\textheight-1in-\voffset-\topmargin-\headheight-\headsep\relax}%
        \fi
    \fi
\end{figure}%
}}%

}
\makeatother

\usepackage{lipsum}

What could I do to solve these two big problems? Does anyone have any idea on what is going wrong? I want to add that I'm viewing the result in pdf

  • "this has changed my entire text after the figure to latin" - Is it possible that you might be mistaken and in fact this is due to \lipsum? Why don't you try \twopagepicture{t}{l}{img/myimage.jpeg}{Test} without lipsum preceding and following it? (\lipsum generates a bunch of latin text, as 'filler'.)

  • @srao thanks a lot. the latin text problem has been solved. in addition the position problem was also solved with \cleardoublepage. you made my day, unfortunately I am not able to give you some rate

\lipsum generates a bunch of latin text, as 'filler'. If you remove all instances of this and just type the following alone

 \twopagepicture{t}{l}{img/myimage.jpeg}{Test}

the issue is solved.
