Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ problem with adding figure

[rayman]

Hello! I am having a problem with adding a figure to my text. I mean it has been added but it appears all the time in the wrong place, it pops up always on the last page, why it is like that?

here is the command I use

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[H]
	\centering
		\includegraphics[scale=0.30]{C:/Users/Jacek/Desktop/labsh3.jpg}
		\caption{Harmonisk svängning}
	\label{1}
\end{figure}

and the packages I use

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage[swedish]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{url} %url

Thanks!

[…] I mean it has been added but it appears all the time in the wrong place, it pops up always on the last page, why it is like that? […]

Because you give the wrong placement parameter to the figure environment. What you try to do only works with the float package. I would try another approach.

Code: Select all

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

Further explanations and solutions via forum search.

unfortunately that one does not work either.
It is very strange, I have always used the same command so far and it always worked but for some reason it does not work now.....

Now it works, the package was needed like you mentioned, thank you!:)
