I have found that it is awkward to provide empty space for figures
at the top of selected pages
in a document. I usually accomplish this by means of \topinserts
scattered thoughout the document.
SURELY it must be possible to collect these \topinserts together and
position them at the BEGINNING of the document.
A macro which I can envision doing this might look (when it is
called) something like this:
\Topinsert{3}{\vskip 5 true in} %figure on page 3
I have a feeling such a macro would be VERY difficult to write.
However, it would be TREMENDOUSLY useful.
Has anyone seen such a macro as this?? Might anyone be willing
to write one????
Many thanks!
