Figures and tables on left page, text on right page

[Jasper]

Hi,

I have a layout problem in LateX. In my report I would like to put the
figures and tables on the left page, while text is displayed on the right
page.

Does anybody know how to accomplish this?

Best regards,
Jasper.

The dpfloat package might help.

I looked at the dpfloat package, but it is not quite what I mean. I would
like to have a "oneside document" for the text and put occasionaly some
figures on the opposing (left) page.

So, the dpfloat probably won't work for that case.

Now I understand what you are after (wasn't clear from your original
message). However, I don't know of any automatic way to produce such a
document. I probalby would do it by hand with something like pstops or
pdfpages.

You can force a blank page every other one with the following code (I tested
it!). Now, if you put in \thing what you want you can put material on the
left pages. It needs some more thinking, but I suppose it can works... (you
have to "clear" \thing afterward, take care of header, etc etc...
maybe use a box...)

Hope this helps, Romano

\usepackage{afterpage}

\newcommand{\thing}{\relax}
\newcommand{\blankpage}{
\null
\vfill
\thing
\vfill
\thispagestyle{empty}
\addtocounter{page}{-1}
\afterpage{\afterpage{\blankpage}}
\eject
}

\begin{document}

\afterpage{\blankpage}
