LYX: big gap between paragraphs where figures should be

Post by zizrjb »

Dear all,

I'm using LYX 2.0.6 and ClassicThesis document type to write my thesis. I'm facing a problem with the whitespace that LYX leaves where the figures has to be and places the figure in a different page!

Simply I'm facing the same problem discussed here:
http://latex-community.org/forum/viewto ... 19&t=20945
where the whitespace left between text is supposed to be filled with a figure!

I have tried the solutions suggested in the quoted question, but had no success.

Here's what I have in the preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\usepackage[bindingoffset=0.5in,margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage[section,above]{placeins}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}
  {\normalfont\fontsize{12pt}{14pt}\selectfont\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
%\usepackage{setlength}
%\setlength{\intextsep}{-1ex} % remove extra space above and below in-line float
\usepackage[belowskip=-10pt,aboveskip=0pt]{caption}
Hope this makes sense!

I guess there was just not enough space for the picture left on the page, but it is very hard to tell with this little information.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
