Page Break after figures

Post by chw0112 »

Hi all,

I have a problem with my figures towards the end of my document. As there will be quite e afew, I thought it wise to keep some of the bigger ones together at the end so they don't mess up the flow of my text in the main article.

Sooo, I have a \section{Figures} with all the figures following. After this section there is a \section{Acknowledgements}. However I can't keep the acknowledgements from jumping in front of the last figure.

Here is my header (lots of possibly unnecessary stuff in there, haven't tidied it yet) and an example of the figures in question:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,onecolumn]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\textwidth 6.25in
\oddsidemargin 0in
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\textwidth 6.25in
\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}

\section{Figures}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\begin{picture}(14,12)
\put(0.5,12){Oscilloscopes}
\put(0,8){\line(0,1){3}}
\put(0,8){\line(1,0){3}}
\......
\end{picture}
\caption{Blahblahblah}
\label{fig:DD2011}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\def\svgwidth{12cm}
\input{da.pdf_tex}
\caption{blahblah}
\label{fig:da}
\end{figure}
\newpage
\section{Acknowledgements}
No matter what/where I put the \newpage or pagebreak, the acknowledgements jump in front of the last image. Any ideas why??

Many thanks!

Page Break after figures

Hi,

welcome to the board!

You could simply use \clearpage instead of \newpage. \clearpage forces the output of the stored figures and tables.
