The construction has no effect on documents with class option\begin{figure}[p] \begin{leftfullpage} <left side figure> \end{leftfullpage} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[p] \begin{fullpage} <right side figure> \end{fullpage} \end{figure}
oneside
(twoside
is the default for
book class).
A special case of this requirement places the caption for a float on
the next page. (This is useful if you have a float that “only just”
fits the page.) You can (with a certain amount of twiddling) make
this work with dpfloat, but the fltpage package is
specially designed for the job:
That example should produce a caption\documentclass[twoside]{article} \usepackage[leftFloats]{fltpage} \begin{document} ... \begin{FPfigure} \includegraphics{my-huge-figure} \caption{Whew! That was a big one!} \end{FPfigure} ... \end{document}
Figure n (facing page): Whew! …(Note, however, that the package is an old one, and declares itself to be a beta release. I seems to work, but…)
