question regarding \placefloats

question regarding \placefloats

Dear Reader,

I have a document with figures and tables. I have tried to use the command
  \placefloats to create a list of all my floats as recommended on the page
Floating Objects, section Flushing floats. There it states: The command
\placefloats outputs all pending floats. I hoped to get a list with all
tables, all figures and all other possible floats.That list would either be
sorted per chapter or sorted per float. However, I was not able to make it
work at all.

In the appendix, you can find my struggles.
First:
\placefloats does not work.

\placelistoffloats does not exist as a command

My solution is two seperate commands, one for the tables \placelistoftables
and one for the figures \completelistoffigures.

Question: how to use \placefloats correctly to get a list of all floats?


Second:

\startcombination[1*2] looks nice, but does not add information to the
\placelistoffigures .

My solution is to place the \startcombination inside a \placefigure.

Question: Is there a better way?


Kind regards, thanks,

Susanne

Floating objects or floats exist in many instances. One predefined instance is figure and a second is table. So \placelistofINSTANCEs will give you the list. You can define more floating objects, for example a sidebox, etc.

The figure and table lists can be combined:

\definecombinedlist [figuresandtables] [figure,table]

\placelistoffiguresandtables

or something like that.

\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2] % my preferred syntax

\stopcombination

allows you to create a combined (matrix) of graphics. It is indeed generally used inside a float construct such as \startplacefigure ... \stopplacefigure.


By the way, "alternative=label" is a favorite of mine, making it unnecessary to explicitly include labels, as in:

\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2,alternative=label]
  {My top graphic}
  {My bottom graphic}
\stopcombination

rather than

\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2]
  {My top graphic}    {a}
  {My bottom graphic} {b}
\stopcombination
