Document Classes ⇒ modencv | No 'figure' Enviroment available

[mathfeel]

I try to insert a figure to a moderncv document using:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphics}
...
\begin{figure}[tb]
...
\end{figure}

and got this error:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: Environment figure undefined.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.142 \begin{figure}
                    [htb]

I thought figure is defined in graphicx, but I guessed wrong. Anyone know how to use figure in this and caption in this class?

No, it is defined in the document class.

You can try loading the float or caption package, and define it for yourself using \newfloat resp. \DeclareCaptionType. (No idea if this actually works.) But I doubt that it's a good idea having floating environments in a CV...

Since I guess you don't need floating, I recommend using the command \captionof of the caption package for getting captions, for example:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[margin=10pt,font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}
...
\begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth}
  \centering
  \includegraphics{filename}
  \captionof{figure}{your caption}
\end{minipage}
