Hi,

I need some help with the basic layout on my report on anchor testing facilities.

Could you help me how too Layout my document?
The picture and the short decription have to be arranged that it is very easy to read at a first glimpse without having to read the detailed description.
Also the pictures are in different sizes, but I want to have a consistent look for each subsection.

Any ideas?

I will recommend you to include your images by using something like this:
· [H] will put the figure right here where the code is written.
· the figure will be centered
· width=0.9\textwidth is the best solution in my opinion when you have images with different sizes since each figure will look better this way together with the text.
· the caption [] will appear in the index of figures
· the label is always useful to link your figure, I recommend you \autoref{fig:my_image}, this will automatically print:
"look at the \autoref{fig:my_image}" = look at the Figure 1.
if you write in german, you should set the german babel to get Darstellung oder so was anstatt Figure...


\begin{figure}[H]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{your_image.eps}
\end{center}
\caption[My beautiful image.]
{\label{fig:my_image}My image looks very good.}
\end{figure}

I hope this helps you.

Thanks! I just tried it, but the Picture didn't show up.
I changed the first \begin{figure}[H] to\begin{figure}[h!]. (I looked it up on wikipedia.)
Maybe it was just a typing error.

But anyway now it work and look very good. Thanks!

To be able to use the H, you must include the float package

Code: Select all

\usepackage{float}

Sorry I forgot it...thanks Robin...

I guess h! is almost the same as H

[nitrogen28]

Now it works with H, when I use the float package.
With h! I had troubles getting the pictures on the right page.

Thank for your help!
