span figure

[Pau <vim.unix@googlemail.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to take as much place as possible for a centered figure on a page.

For this, I am doing

 \placefigure
   [here]                   % Place
   []                          % Label
   {}                          % Legend
{
 \externalfigure[Figure.pdf]
                [factor=broad] % Also: max, fit
                %[width=10cm]  % Does not work with factor
}

By playing with width I get something very close to what I need, but I
can see that there's always an initial blank skip at the beginning of
the page which is larger than the skip at the bottom.

I have tried with

\vskip-1.5cm

and similar, but this does not move the figure up.

How can I take as much place as possible in a page for a figure with
identical empty spaces, at the top and the bottom?

If I set it to [top] or [center] or [mid] I do not see any difference.

thanks,

Pau
