### Facing floats on 2-page spread

If a pair of floats are to be forced to form a 2-page spread (in a book, or whatever), the first must lie on the left side of the spread, on an even-numbered page. The dpfloat package provides for this: the construction to use is:

>     \begin{figure}[p]
>       \begin{leftfullpage}
>         <left side figure>
>       \end{leftfullpage}
>     \end{figure}
>     \begin{figure}[p]
>       \begin{fullpage}
>         <right side figure>
>       \end{fullpage}
>     \end{figure}

The construction has no effect unless the standard class option `twoside` is in effect.

Full documentation of the package (such as it is) is to be found in README.dpfloat
