Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Latex picture

[ipmax]

I used the following code to put a picture to my document

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[htb]
   \centering
   \includegraphics[scale = 0.5]{documentation/meanstd_3.5_experiment.eps}
   \caption{Mean and Standard Deviation method with 3.5$\sigma$}
\end{figure}

However, this code puts the picture in random place. I want it exactly below my paragraph so that I can read the paragraph and see the picture. Now I have to scroll 5 pages down to see the picture though the text is at its place.

Could anyone help me?

Add

Code: Select all

\usepackage{float}

to your preamble, and use H as a float parameter, e.g.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[H]

Before you try to solve the issue using the sledgehammer method with float, you should use other placement options for your floating objects (note the exclamation mark).

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!htb]
% float content
\end{figure}
