Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Absolute positioning of figure

[CJFugate]

I've only used floats to postion my figures. One of my figures looks something like this is my document -

This is a sentence at the very top of the page in my document
***************************************************************
* *
* Figure *
***************************************************************
which was cut in half by the figure and continues below the figure.

I would like to push the figure to the top of the page so it doesn't cut that sentence in half. Is there an easy way to do that?

Thanks!

In order not to part the sentence you should leave a blank line before and after the float environment. And appropriate placement parameters will do the rest.

Code: Select all

Preceding Text.

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