Figure Placement Problem

Post by Xeeebhaa »

Hallo LaTeX community,
Currently I writing my Thesis report using LaTeX. I have been noticing the following problem.

I need the figures and text to be aligned in a page in the following orientation

text
figure
text
figure

However, what I obtain is

figure
text
text
figure

At times, this gets frustrating. Sometimes the figure jumps to the end of the next page. Tried out googling. Yet to find a proper solution. Would be helpful, if someone could suggest me a proper solution

Regards

Figure Placement Problem

Post by Stefan Kottwitz »

Hi,

welcome to the board!

As you saw, Google is not always a solution. It's not teaching or explaining, you could just be lucky to find a solution if you used good matching keywords. I recommend to read a LaTeX introduction or tutorial, have a look at: LaTeX Resources for Beginners.

Regarding the figure placement, here I posted an explanation recently: Order of appearance of tables and figures.
