Position a figure in Latex

Post by DaneDane »

Hello.

I've got a problem when compiling my latex file. I use the figure environment to include an .eps in my document. However, every time I compile, the picture is shown at the end of the document and not at the position where I put it in the code.

Anybody knows, how to make it right?

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{Figure}
\end{figure}

Always give LaTeX an option along with "h" in case things don't fit: usually "ht". If that fails, load the float package and try "H".

Hi Dane,

welcome to the board!
You could try the ! option and more, perhaps test:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!htbp]
See figure syntax and options.

Thanks a lot for the fast replies! It works with the float package and the option "H".
