One of the figures appear in the middle of a page (on its own) when the figure does not fit the other text. How to show it on top of the new page?
If all else fails, just add \vspace*{3in} to the bottom of your figure below the \caption. Then by trial and error change the 3in dimension until you get the look you want. This is of course pure brute force, but sometimes that's a lot easier than trying to get LaTeX to do things the "right" way.
When in doubt, use brute force.

I think I misunderstood your question. Are you asking "how do I get floats on pages by themselves to be at the top of the page, rather than vertically centred?"?.
If so, here's how to customise the float page. From source2e, glue is inserted at the top and bottom of the page, and between each float on the page. This inserted glue is given by the following parameters:
\setlength\#fptop{0\p# \#plus 1fil}
\setlength\#fpsep{8\p# \#plus 2fil}
\setlength\#fpbot{0\p# \#plus 1fil}
Simply redefine these to get the output you like. For example, for top- and bottom- aligned floats: (untested)
\makeatletter
\setlength\#fptop{0pt}
\setlength\#fpsep{8pt plus 1fil}
\setlength\#fpbot{0pt}
\makeatother
You can insert a pagebreak via \clearpage or \newpage, then use the t option on the figure environment:
...
\clearpage
\begin{figure}[t!]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=.75]{graphic/...}
\caption{}
\label{fig:}
\end{figure}
...
If there's nowhere for the figure to fit then it will go on a page by itself. See the FAQ answer on floats for more information on how to customise this behaviour.

I'd like to create a virtual space where I want to mix 3D elements and html content. I have seem some demos with WebVR but didn't work for me. WebAR is also an interesting option.
Thanks
Unfortunately, this isn't possible at the moment, because
there is no proper way to get your hands on the rastered output of the HTML in order to use it as a texture in WebGL and
there is no way to get any html-element shown in a WebVR-context
There is certainly work being done in both directions, but your best bets would probably be a-frame (https://aframe.io/) or reactVR (https://developer.oculus.com/blog/introducing-the-react-vr-pre-release/) which both at least have a bit of that html-feeling to it and can handle text pretty well (nothing compared to the power of html+css, but they will get there at some point).
Another option is to use a library like html2canvas (https://html2canvas.hertzen.com/) to get some rendered output from a piece of html which you can then use as a texture. Also has it's limits but might be worth a try...
Have fun!
Has anyone figured out a way to dynamically mutate text on the screen without triggering a render?
A large part of my screen utilizes setNativeProps for moving parts, meaning that the animations become lagged despite using shouldComponentUpdate. I would like to use the Text tag instead of the TextInput tag workaround suggested in this post for stylistic reasons.
Best case scenario is a workaround that involves setNaiveProps as it would follow the pattern of the rest of the screen; however, I currently plan to render all the numbers 0-9 on the screen an move them into place at the moment, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
As it turns out, you can actually format TextInputs the same exact way as Text elements (from what I have tested). For placing text horizontally, you have to set the width (something I had trouble with before). For those still interested in the original question however, you can nest TextInputs inside of a Text Element (one per text element because there is no justification and it automatically places them in a row). Styling applied to the Text Element will apply to the TextInput.
I'm trying to make 3 different circles to my website. I don't want to insert it as a graphic/image file. So I've been trying to achieve it using CSS3, but I can't really work my fingers around it.
What will it look like?
I have uploaded a picture of what I'm trying to achieve at: www.sp34k.com/etc/circles.jpg
I can't really show the code I've been trying to use to achieve this, as it all looks totally weird and nothing floats currectly.
What I've tried
What I've tried is to make 3 circles with position absolute and then use % (percentage) to determine the width of the colored parts, but I can't twist my mind around how it should be set up.
Any suggestions is appreciated,
Mike
Here is a simple try of me to achieve the effect you want:
DEMO
edit: css-only solution
It can be easily animated with javascript or keyframes. Arbitrary content would go into the inner div. To change the percentage, simply adjust the angle of the pseudo-elements.
With a little more effort this could be easily refined I guess;)
Note: the transform has the webkit-prefix, so it works only in chrome/safari - to see it in firefox or other browsers, you need to change the prefix.
P.S. I will animate it when I'm home from work.
Good one by Christoph but he is using SASS/SCSS which are comparatively slow then normal CSS because they have to be converted to CSS before browser render it so I have have a different Solution for you

I have a part A in a document with some text and listings/figures in between. The figures and listings are positioned using htb.
Following this part A, there is the bibliography. However a couple of figures do not fit and are therefore are offset to another page, which is fine. But: I do want to limit the offset space to part A and not have the figures be placed within the bibliography text. Also, I don't want to force page of float for all figures (hp positioning or something). A page of floats at the end of part A and before the bibliography would be fine.
So my questions is, is there a way to exclude some parts of a LaTex document from being used for positioning floats that did not fit someplace before?
Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't you just put a \clearpage right before the bibliography? That forces out all floats that haven't found a place yet.
I'm using LaTeX and I would like to have vertical rule along left side of page, topmargin to bottommargin, 0.5in from the left edge of the page. I want this on every page, so I assume that means it must somehow be tied to the header or the footer?
I've made no progress at all, so I need help with (1) making the full-length rule itself and (2) making it happen automatically on every page of the document.
Can someone tell me how to do that?
I got a working answer to my question on the Latex Community forum: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9072&p=34877#p34877
The answer I got uses the 'Background' package and this code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{background}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate filler text for the example
\SetBgScale{1}
\SetBgAngle{0}
\SetBgColor{black}
\SetBgContents{\rule{.4pt}{\paperheight}}
\SetBgHshift{-9cm}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-90]
\end{document}
Works great and was easy to adjust to put one vrule in left margin area and one in the right margin area.
There could be a LaTeX package to do this for you, but I'm more of a TeX person, so I tried to come up with a TeX solution (not always the best idea to mix plain TeX with LaTeX but I think I have it working).
Try this. Box 255 is the box register that TeX places the page contents into before the page is output. What I've done is taken the existing output routine, and changed it to insert into box 255: a 0-height, 0-width infinitely shrinkable-but-overflowing set of boxes containing a rule that is the height of the page, 0.4pt thick and with any luck, half an inch away into the left. The existing contents of box 255 is then added after this rule. Then I call the previous output routine which outputs the page (which now includes a rule), and also the headers and footers.
\newtoks\oldoutput
\oldoutput=\expandafter{\the\output}%
\output{%
\setbox255\vbox to 0pt{%
\hbox to 0pt{%
\vsize\ht255%
\vbox to \ht255{%
\vss
\hbox to -0.5in{%
\hss
\vrule height \ht255 width 0.4pt%
}%
}\hss
}\vss
\box255%
}%
\the\oldoutput
}%
Put it before your \begin{document} command. This might not solve your problem completely, but hopefully it should get you started. Here's a great page for learning about TeX primitives and built-in things.
Have a look at the eso-pic package. From memory, what you want would look like this:
\AddToShipoutPicture{%
\setlength\unitlength{1in}%
\AtPageUpperLeft{%
\put(0.5,\topmargin){\vrule width .5pt height \textheight}%
}%
}
It's not clear in your question if you want the line to span the text area or the whole paper height. Depending on the case, you have to replace \topmargin and \textheight by the correct values, either 0pt or whatever your top margin is, or by \paperheight. See the geometry package if you don't already use it for how to control those dimensions.
