how to put figure in the middle of chapter content

Post by harrymatth »

Hi,
I am creating a thesis using latex. The problem I see with the large figures are, they are always placed at the end of the chapter.
If I want to place a figure some where in the middle of the chapter content, then is any trick to do that? I have used the [h] option while calling figure but that does not work at all.
Thanks

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Try other placement parameters.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
% figure content
\end{figure}
Very large figures should be placed on their own page without any text.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!p]
% figure content
\end{figure}

Thanks for your help. That works perfectly.

By the way, I am looking for ``Section 3 of the Board Rules''. Where is that.

Thanks

Can't actually be overlooked since it can be found in the »Announcements« on top of every sub-forum here.
