Hello,
I have a small problem which nevertheless took already my whole day ...
I'm on a multicolumn page and I have to put (numberd) figures in the
textflow, at a fix position relative to the text (in this case). No
sidefloats.
Problem: The vertical space between the float and the following text
(= after the float) is way too big. I put the floats with "force";
with "here" its even worse: I get an additional empty space *above*
the float.
Concerning the different column methods i noticed the following:
\startcolumns: I can influence the vertical space (in general) with
e.g. "blank=4pt" in the setups. This solves my problem for the moment,
but is a bit ugly, because all spaces seem to be affected, also the
predefined caption innerspace(!)
\startcolumnset: I couldn't find any solution at all, unless grouping
everything in \startpacked ...\ \stoppacked, but this of course
removes every and any space. The "blank"-option isn't present in
columnsets, right?
Side question: While trying all this i noticed also that the v-spacing
is perfect when i just use "\externalfigure ..." (without place...).
But malheureusement I need the captions. Is there any way to get
captions with \externalfigure (without float thingies), maintainig/
integrating in the numbering of the "normal" floating figures?
I would really appreciate if anybody could show me how to adjust/
eliminate this ugly (faulty?) after float space without disturbing the
whole whitespacing on the page.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
