Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Appendix title below figure

[kodaly]

Hello,
I'm new to latex and I'm using a template I found on overleaf. I'm struggling with my appendix; for some reason, when I add an image, the appendix title will appear below the image instead of at the top. It is probably a very simple mistake, but I'm learning it by myself and still need to grasp a lot of things.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[round]{natbib}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}

\newtheorem{definition}{Definition}[section]
\newtheorem{interview}{Interview}[section]
\newtheorem{satz}{Satz}[section]

\usepackage[top=25mm, bottom=20mm, vmargin=25mm, includehead]{geometry}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0cm}
\setlength{\parindent}{5mm}
\setlength{\parskip}{2mm}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{0mm}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0cm}



\newpage
\appendix
\section{Abbildungen}

\begin{figure}

\caption{Schema zur Metakognition} \centering\cite{Egle}
\end{figure}

\end{document]

I am also very sorry if I did not post the example correctly, this is my first contribution.

thanks in advance,
Di.

figure is a float environment. Floats can, float. The default float options for figures in latex are tbp. I think, you want hbp or bp for this float. See an introduction to LaTeX for more information about floats.

And please use the code tag to mark code. Otherwise the new online compiling feature (see the Run LaTeX here button below my examples) would not work. And for the same reason, please try to show a compilable minimal working example, like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}% NOTE: german would be outdates/old spelling
\usepackage{xcolor}

%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}% NOTE: Not needed from LaTeX 2018-04-01
\usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pdflscape}% Better alternative to lscape with respect to PDF viewers.
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}% NOTE: The package knows options!
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[round]{natbib}% NOTE: I would recommend to use biblatex + biber!
\usepackage{hyperref}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}% NOTE: This is not suitable for German.

\newtheorem{definition}{Definition}[section]
\newtheorem{interview}{Interview}[section]
\newtheorem{satz}{Satz}[section]
\newtheorem{beispiel}{Beispiel}[section]
\newtheorem{bemerkung}{Bemerkung}[section]
\newtheorem{literaturverzeichnis}{Literaturverzeichnis}[section]

\usepackage[top=25mm, bottom=20mm, vmargin=25mm, includehead]{geometry}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0cm}% NOTE: You should not manipulate the length on your own. Use geomtry options!
\setlength{\parindent}{5mm}% NOTE: Combination of paragraph intend with
\setlength{\parskip}{2mm}%      paragraph skip is nonsense
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{0mm}% NOTE: You should not manipulate the length on your own. Use geomtry options!
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0cm}% NOTE: You should not manipulate the length on your own. Use geomtry options!

\begin{figure}[hbp]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}

\end{figure}

\end{document}

But maybe in your case it would be better not to use floats, because in a figure appendix they don't make sense. So maybe:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}% NOTE: german would be outdates/old spelling
\usepackage{xcolor}

%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}% NOTE: Not needed from LaTeX 2018-04-01
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pdflscape}% Better alternative to lscape with respect to PDF viewers.
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}% NOTE: The package knows options!
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[round]{natbib}% NOTE: I would recommend to use biblatex + biber!
\usepackage{hyperref}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}% NOTE: This is not suitable for German.

\newtheorem{definition}{Definition}[section]
\newtheorem{interview}{Interview}[section]
\newtheorem{satz}{Satz}[section]
\newtheorem{beispiel}{Beispiel}[section]
\newtheorem{bemerkung}{Bemerkung}[section]
\newtheorem{literaturverzeichnis}{Literaturverzeichnis}[section]

\usepackage[top=25mm, bottom=20mm, vmargin=25mm, includehead]{geometry}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0cm}% NOTE: You should not manipulate the length on your own. Use geomtry options!
\setlength{\parindent}{5mm}% NOTE: Combination of paragraph intend with
\setlength{\parskip}{2mm}%      paragraph skip is nonsense
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{0mm}% NOTE: You should not manipulate the length on your own. Use geomtry options!
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0cm}% NOTE: You should not manipulate the length on your own. Use geomtry options!

\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}
\captionof{figure}[Schema zur Metakognition]{Schema zur Metakognition \cite{Egle}}

\end{document}

would be better.

ok, so first of all, thank you for the help!
most importantly: if I choose the last option you mentioned, it tells me that for \captionof "Package caption Warning: The option `hypcap=true' will be ignored for this particular \caption on input line 329. See the caption package documentation for explanation.sequence." It appears below the appendix title tho, so thats already a win.

Regarding your package edits; as I said I used an overleaf template from a German paper to mess as less as possible with packages, design etc. So everything until line 32 was not my own work. Thank you for the edits tho!

Bad code is bad code regardless of where it comes from. I consider it my responsibility to at least point out bad code, if not correct it immediately. Not only so that someone doesn't claim at some point that I recommended it, but also so that others are warned and don't adopt it carelessly.
