I am trying to vertically (and horizontally, but that's just \centering)
align a bunch of \includegraphics. Their size is approx 90% of the page,
ie one per page. Special issues: the first one has a \section{} and a
little text above it on the same page. The last one needs to be
vertically centered too (this is an issue with \raggedbottom and letting
tex do the page breaking, with a single \newpage after the last
graphics).
To work out why my alignment wasn't one, I tried to add \newpage\hrule
to get a marking at the top edge of the page text area (compare with the
top edge of some \section{} text). Rules are excellent to mark
positions and to visualise how tex constructs things. The \hrule is
failing miserably, being about an x-height too low. You can't just add a
\vfil or \vfill above each \includegraphics as it'll be removed at the
top of the page (unless you add a zero-height \hrule above). Dito
\vskip. \vspace*{} adds a rule, but also suffers from the too-low
problem. \raggedbottom is equivalent to a \vfil.
There's a chance that one of the other gazillion loaded packages
interferes, but I haven't had time for setting up a test bed yet. So far
I decided to ignore the slight misalignment, though for a latex document
it's not a satisfactory solution. Adding a \vskip-\thetoolowamount would
be acceptible, but I'd need to understand first how big \thetoolowamount
really is. Setting lineskiplimit, lineskip, baselineskip to 0 and using
\nointerlineskip made no difference. I haven't picked up anything
eye-opening from \tracingall.
Thanks,
Volker
