I have a figure which takes up an entire page of space. When I use \includegraphics to put it in my document, instead of appearing on the next page, it appears at the end of the section.

However, I want the full-page figure to appear on the following page. In other words, in the below MWE, I want:

(page 1) all of TEXT A, followed by the amount of TEXT B necessary to fill the rest of the page

(page 2) the full-page figure

(page 3) the remainder of TEXT B

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} % for \includegraphics \usepackage{lipsum} % for filler text \begin{document} \section{First Section} \lipsum[1-4] % TEXT A \includegraphics{full_page_image} \lipsum[1-4] % TEXT B \section{Second Section} \end{document}

You can use the \afterpage{<content>} macro from the afterpage package to place things directly after the current page. I'm not sure if you only want the image or a real figure with maybe a caption.

For an image only:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} % for \includegraphics \usepackage{lipsum} % for filler text \usepackage{afterpage} \begin{document} \section{First Section} \lipsum[1-4] % TEXT A \afterpage{\noindent\includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{image}} \lipsum[1-4] % TEXT B \section{Second Section} \end{document}

Using a figure environment. The issue here is that earlier figures might be still unplaced and be then be placed before.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} % for \includegraphics \usepackage{lipsum} % for filler text \usepackage{afterpage} \begin{document} \section{First Section} \lipsum[1-4] % TEXT A \afterpage{% \begin{figure}[p]% \includegraphics[width=.99\textwidth,height=.99\textheight]{image}% %\caption{..} \end{figure}% \clearpage } \lipsum[1-4] % TEXT B \section{Second Section} \end{document}

This is similar to Werner's answer, but the \afterpage{..\clearpage} ensures that the figure is placed at the next page (Ok, this might be normally the case anyway). The figure could also be outside \afterpage and then an \afterpage{\clearpage} would be enough to flush it, but the code above is the safest IMHO.

For this you need to make the image float. So, you should use (substituting \rule{\textwidth}{\textheight} for your fullpage image):

enter image description here

\documentclass{article} %\usepackage{graphicx} % for \includegraphics \usepackage{lipsum} % for filler text \begin{document} \section{First Section} \lipsum[1-4] % TEXT A \begin{figure}[p] \rule{\textwidth}{\textheight} \end{figure} \lipsum[1-4] % TEXT B \section{Second Section} \end{document}

Note that it is perfectly fine inserting a figure environment (that floats) without specifying a \caption.
