Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problems with Figure Placement

[billyquant24]

Hi,

Before, I had figures in my latex file without captions. my code is like this,

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
  \includegraphics[width=10cm]{fola}
\end{center}

I was able to get the figure to appear where it wanted, and everything was fine. When I tried to add captions, Latex placed them in the spot, not where I wanted it to be. I think this is a spacing problem.

For example, if I wanted two figures on one page, and there was only space left for one, then latex would add one, with some text, and would add the second image on the next page.

Is there any way to fix this?

Many Thanks

Hi,

for adding captions, use a {figure} environment. Add options to make placement easier, such as \begin{figure}[!htb] or less, depending on your needs. Use \caption within this figure environment for producing captions. Don't use the {center} environment there, use \centering instead.
