[LavaTyper]

When I click on a hyperlink to a figure or table in my own document, and the caption is at the bottom of the figure or table, why does clicking on the link place the caption at the top of the resulting page?

This causes me to have to then scroll up to see the figure or table after I've already clicked on it.


See example below and attached figure.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true, pdfstartview=FitV, linkcolor=blue, citecolor=black, plainpages=false, pdfpagelabels=true, urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}



\begin{document}

\section{My First Section}

\begin{figure}[!h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{MyPDFOfTangent}
\caption{\label{figure:mypdfoftangent}caption goes here}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
