I've written a text with some page-size figures in it. The problem is: The figure pages are interrupting sentences and paragraphs. The figures are supposed to be looked at for some time, so I'd like to have any paragraphs completed before the figure page.

While \widowpenalty10000 and \clubpenalty10000 prevent the pages from starting or ending with a single word of another paragraph, they still don't solve my problem of the figure interrupting a paragraph.

Positioning the figure manually is something I'd like to avoid. The surrounding pages are supposed to be as full as possible without interrupting a paragraph.

The goal is that Latex realises that a paragraph is being interrupted and either moves the start of that paragraph to the first page after the float, squeezes the rest of that paragraph to the page before the float or finds a better positon for the float.

Minimal problem example:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside,draft]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}

  • [Hp] is a syntax error, so definitely avoid that:-) (H if used has to be on its own)

  • Realised that a second ago, too. Also it doesn't do what I had in mind. Amended the question.

Possibly the simplest fix here is to add \looseness=-1 as in:

\begin{figure}[p]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,keepaspectratio]{imagenotfound.jpg}
\end{figure}

    \looseness=-1
    Consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut
 labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et
 accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no
 sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit
 amet, consetetur
 sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et
 dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. % The next page starts with only the last word of this passage. I don't want that. Please move the whole passage to the next page.

which makes that paragraph be compressed into one line less so avoiding the lone word.

  • But where do I add \looseness=-1? To which passage? Is there a way to find out which passage will be the interrupted one?

  • @Drache198 not easily (other than doing as I did and looking at the output and adding a manual fix): in tex line and page breaking are very much separated. In general how do you expect this to work? latex would need some algorithm to implement, by "passsage" you seem to mean paragraph, and you want to allow page-breaking mid-paragraph but only allow floats to be inserted on pages that happen to break between paragraphs? That seems hard to implement.

  • The idea was that Latex realises: "Hey, this float is interrupting a paragraph" and then either moves the start of that paragraph to the first page after the float or squeezes the rest of it to the page before the float.

  • @Drache198 you are going to have to do some "final corrections" by hand to achieve that.

  • @JohnKormylo you could fiddle with \interlinepenalty and look at \outputpenalty but normally latex doesn't. I don't think \everypar would help much as typically the next paragraph (and so \everypar) has already been set before tex decided to back up and start splitting pages
