Feature inquiry: Spread a figure over two pages

[hayalaso]

I was looking for a way to have a Figure spread over two pages, i.e. have the same caption.

I found this thread in Stack Overflow that uses the command \ContinuedFloat. I tried to use it but I got errors while compiling. Is there a command inside aastex that I could use for this purpose?

Thank you

I am not sure of the details of that command and AASTeX v6+. I can imagine that if you have a figure so large that it flows off the page and thus needs to be placed on another page might be too big for our publisher during production. If it is just barely flowing off the page, you should use the scaling options in \includegraphics.

The option that most people use is to have separate figures with their own figure calls but then use the \figurenum{text} command to relabel the figures accordingly:

The example would be like this:

\begin{figure} \includegraphics{fig1a.pdf} \caption{This is figure 1} \end{figure}

\begin{figure} \figurenum{1} \includegraphics{fig1b.pdf} \caption{Figure 1 (continued)} \end{figure}

The example is exactly what I wanted.

Thank you so much.
