% We need to know the vertical position on the page where the figures

% The zref package also provides the page number. It gives the

% "first" page is numbered as zero. Just as positions within a page
% are not really known until a page is shipped out, the page number
% isn't known either. Generally, if you're near the middle or the end
% of the page, then \thepage or abspage is correct, but it is often
% wrong near the top of the page. The only way around this seems to be
% to place a label on the page, in a manner similar to what is done
