Figures, Tables, and New Paragraphs

Post by Makaremi »

Hello,

I am writing a tex file in a given template. The problem that I have is with the paragraphs after figures and tables. Take a look at this code:

Code: Select all

... have been considered.
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{./figures/AlgorithmWavelet.eps} 
\caption{A wavelet decomposition ...}
\label{fig:AlgorithmWavelet}
\end{figure} 
To study ...
No matter where latex decides to put the figure, I expect it to have "To study ..." in a new paragraph. But in this case, latex keeps them in one line. The simplest solution that crossed my mind was to put \\ right before the figure begins. This gives me the new paragraph indented, which I don't like, and \noindent does not work when I use it at the beginning of the new paragraph.
What should I do?
If you think that having the template would help, you can find it here http://vlsi.uwindsor.ca/resources/vlsithesis.tar.gz
I appreciate your help.

Simply put an empty line between \end{figure} and "To study..." to start a new paragraph.

Thank you, that helped. Actually it made an indented paragraph which I fixed with \noindent. And life is beautiful again. :)
