I want to place 8 figures on a two col. page like:
f1 f5
f2 f6
f3 f7
f4 f8
But I am getting f7 and f8 on the next page only though there is
enough space on the first page. How to control the vertical
space between two figures?
Two ways:
1. Stack all the figure graphics in a single figure environment if
you have only a single caption for all:
\begin{figure*}
\includegraphics[opt]{f1}\hfill \includegraphics[opt]{f2}\\[6pt]
...
\includegraphics[opt]{f8}\hfill \includegraphics[opt]{f8}
\caption{...}
\end{figure*}
2. If you have different captions, you need to reduce various
separators and floatfractions to accommodate all figures in a
single page:
\setlength\floatsep {12\p@ \@plus 2\p@ \@minus 2\p@}
\setlength\textfloatsep{20\p@ \@plus 2\p@ \@minus 4\p@}
\setlength\intextsep {12\p@ \@plus 2\p@ \@minus 2\p@}
The above are the default values, change to suit your need. Also the
following would also help:
\renewcommand\floatpagefraction{.99}
