You can only force that LaTeX puts floats on a separate page without text. But you can for example 
set a \pagebreak in ERT or a pagebreak vie LyX's menu (note that they are different) directly before 
the float to force its appearace on the next page. You can also adjust the bottompagefraction within 
the document at the critical positions or globally.
You can use LaTeX's default settings or ignore it, you can set the float placement order tbp, etc. 
as described.



2) set the distance between figures.


This is not possible because you have floats and that means they can float to the position where 
LateX thinks it's the best or you adjusted with the parameters I listed above.
If you really need a definite float place then use the here definetively  placement option and 
insert a vertical space between two consecutive floats.

float placement refinements

2007-02-02 Thread Ramon Flores
Hi,

I write documents with a lot of figures, so it is not unusual that LyX (latex) 
have to put more than two figures in one page. (I use tpb in the float 
placement box).
The only figures pages, with two or more figures, are OK for me. But when 
LyX(latex) puts two figures in a page with text the results are not so good. 

IMHO,  in this case, two figures + text, LyX(latex) put the figures too close, 
and the caption of the upper one can be confused with a part of the lowest 
one. Anyway I don't like the result.

Is there any way to say to LyX not to put more that one figure in a page with 
text?.
Or alternatively, is there any way to say to LyX to set apart the two figures?

Cheers
Ramon
