position of section

Post by mus »

I am using the Book class and would like to keep the completeness of a section. That means I would like to have the case A not the case B in the following.

Case A
----- page break ----
text of section 1
blank
----- page break ----
figure of section 1
Title of section 2
text of section 2


Case B
----- page break ----
text of section 1
Title of section 2
text of section 2
----- page break ----
figure of section 1


Anyone has some suggestion?

Thanks a lot!

A figure can only be placed at a certain position if there's enough space left on the current page. There are some possible solutions but for the present you could start with some placement parameters for the figure environment.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  % figure contents
\end{figure}
If that doesn't help, we can discuss other solutions later on.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Insert a \clearpage command right after the float environment to force its output. Nevertheless the figure can only be placed if there enough space left on the page. You may have to resize the concerned figure to make it appear where you want.
