LaTeX forum ⇒ Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figure doing whatever it wants. Topic is solved

[SebRM]

Hey guys! So i am working on a pdf with TexShop.
I am trying to include the following lines: [I will mark them with **]

\section{}
\bf{title}
Plain Text
Fig.~\ref{figure}
Plain Text
** \begin{figure}[h]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{run_integrate2-FvsN}
\caption{}
\label{run_integrate2-FvsN}
** \end{figure}
\\

\bf{title2}
Plain Text

ISSUE: When I run these things, the figure appears below the {title2} section, It doesn't care if I write [h, or p, or t]
it still appears at the end of that section, I do not understand why.
Your help would be really apreciated!

Welcome to the forum!

The code (maybe based on some older Internet sample code) is not optimal. I recommend to never use \bf and to use \\ only in tables, never in text.

It could be like this:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex})

\section{title}
Plain Text
For example, see fig.~\ref{run_integrate2-FvsN}% same as in \label
Plain Text
\begin{figure}[htbp!]
\centering%if you like
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{run_integrate2-FvsN}
\caption{figure caption text}
\label{run_integrate2-FvsN}
\end{figure} 
\section{title2}
Plain Text

Figures float for optimal page breaks. They stay in the same chapter though. If you want to let them stay even in the same section, use

\usepackage[section]{placeins}

in the preamble.
