I am using lscape to include a figure in the middle of my text on a landscape page. However, instead of breaking to the landscape page at the point where I start the landscape environment, I would like to simply have the figure appear automatically on the next available page. Here's an illustration.

Right now, my document looks like this:

Large blank space at end of first paragraph on first page, second page is figure, third page is full.

I want it to look like this (for the image, I split up my text above and below the landscape environment manually, which is not desirable):

Text flows to the bottom of page one and resumes at the next word after the figure on page three.

Here is the source for the document (the first image shown above):

    don't use landscape you want a float so use sidewaysfigure from rotating package – David Carlisle Jul 15 '22 at 21:49
  • sidewaysfigure breaks hyperref, by the way. – Ben Zelnick Jul 16 '22 at 20:39
  • huh?........... – David Carlisle Jul 16 '22 at 22:03
  • Sorry. I meant that when you try to use autoref to reference a sidewaysfigure, it gives you the section number reference instead (as if the label was written right below section, subsection, etc. and not in the figure itself). Do I need to put a figure environment inside of the sidewaysfigure environment to prevent this? – Ben Zelnick Jul 17 '22 at 20:12
  • seems to be a different question, you could ask on this site or if you think it's a bug raise it at github, either way with a complete small example. – David Carlisle Jul 17 '22 at 20:16
  • For anyone having that problem: I fixed it by moving label below everything else. It wasn't working because label was at the beginning of the sidewaysfigure environment, not the end. – Ben Zelnick Jul 28 '22 at 19:44
