I'm trying to use the tikz-uml package for generating uml diagrams. As I was trying, I found that for some reason page number appears at the bottom of the page. I tried to disable it by using \pagestyle{empty}. With this the page number disappears from the page. But when I include the picture in the latex document, the figure caption comes at the bottom of the page, meaning, the diagram occupies the full page.
I have used here an example from tikz-uml package, which generates the page number. Note you need to download the tikz-uml package from http://www.ensta-paristech.fr/~kielbasi/tikzuml/index.php?lang=en
Can any one help me with this issue?
