LyX ⇒ Keep floating Figures within a Subsection

[brianeno]

Hello,

I am using LyX to write my thesis but I have the following problem. Often LyX decides, at the produced PDF, to place graphics and images outside the section or subsection they belong to in order to keep formating. I can understand that, but I am looking for some time now on how to prevent it and always keep the graphics within their section. I would appreciate your help and advise.

Hi,

you could use the placeins package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[section]{placeins}

This prevents figures from floating cross section boundaries. Furthermore, you can use its command \FlotBarrier before subsections for limiting the floating.

Thanks Stefan,

it seems that is not that straight forward to edit the tex code in Lyx. (A bit weird) .. but I found out searching for the placeins that you can check the document's properties at Lyx and select Float Placement as: Here Definitely which keeps the figure at place. The Here if possible options gave me lots of errors.
Thanks a lot
V.
