Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Graphics are not where I want them to be

[Celleb]

Hi,

I have started to work with Latex by using a template provided by my university department. Unfortunately I am running into problems with graphics. I use this code to implement a picture:

Code: Select all

Durch grafische Lösung ergeben gerade Wellenfunktionen aus dem ersten Fall die Schnittpunkte P, die ungeraden Wellenfunktionen aus dem zweiten Fall die Schnittpunkte I:
\begin{figure}[h]
  \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.90\textwidth]{Figures/Bilder/grafische_Loesung.jpg}
\end{figure}

and it works just fine as I want it to be:

good.JPG (46.74 KiB) Viewed 4272 times

But on other occasions Latex just puts it somewhere else:

Code: Select all

\section{Potentialtopf}

\subsection{Töpfe mit endlicher Tiefe}
\begin{figure}[h]
  \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.50\textwidth]{Figures/Bilder/Topf_endlich.jpg}
\end{figure}

\subsubsection{Fall $E>0$}
Dieser Fall kann gerechnet werden wie der Potentialwall mit $E>V_0$.

And the picture is somewhere at the bottom:

bad.JPG (43.23 KiB) Viewed 4272 times

I thought the [h] after {figure} would put the picture just where the code is? I don't care if this results in a pagebreak.

Can somebody please help me? Thank you!

Wie funktionieren Gleitobjekte?

How to influence the position of float environments like figure and table in LaTeX?

Johannes Links are very good. Just a small minor addition for keeping figures within (sub)sections: Wie kann ich das Gleiten von Abbildungen und Tabellen auf den Abschnitt begrenzen? (as I see that you write in German). You are also welcome to post on our German partner site TeXwelt.de.
