HOWTO: LaTeX Colour Plate

This is a description of how to make LaTeX put colour figures on a separate page.

  1. Put the figures last in your document.
  2. Before these figures put the commands \clearpage
    \newpage
  3. I have also noticed a problem with the balance package making it impossible to balance the last page before the colour plate.
  4. If you want the colour plate figures separately numbered, add the following lines after the page commands: \setcounter{figure}{0}
    \makeatletter
    \renewcommand{\thefigure}{C\arabic{figure}}
    \renewcommand{\p@subfigure}{C\arabic{figure}}
    \makeatother     This will also add the letter C in front of each figure and each reference.
