fancy table and figure layouts

[Benjamin Hentschel]

I was wondering,

is there some way to declare the layout of all tables and figures to  
appear somehow like this http://www.emeraldinsight.com/fig/2670100103003.png 
 ?

If yes, what kind of package could achieve this? I already did some  
research but couldn't find an example on the internet.


Thanks in advance,

Ben
