Latex: Text cannot be placed below image
If you really need to have the figure in that place, use the float
package:
In the preamble:
\usepackage{float}
then, in the text:
Some text...
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{picture.jpg}
\caption{The caption}
\label{fig:picture}
\end{figure}
Some more text...
Even though, is more preferable to let LaTeX place the floats.
Another way to do the same thing is by using the caption
package.
In the preamble:
\usepackage{caption}
then, in the text:
Some text...
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{picture.jpg}\\
\caption{figure}[LOF entry]{The caption}
\label{fig:picture}
\end{center}
Some more text...

I'm having a problem with an image and some text. I have this code:
Some text...\\ \begin{figure}[ht] \centering \includegraphics[scale=0.75]{picture.jpg} \caption{The caption} \label{fig:picture} \end{figure} Some more text...
Basically, I want this:
Some text. (Above image in the code) [end of page / new page] image Some more text. (Below the image in the code) [start of new section]
But, what the above code gives me is this:
Some text. (Above image in the code) Some more text. (Below the image in the code) [end of page / new page] image [start of new section]
Latex insists on putting everything but a new section above the image even though its below the image in the code. Its probably because the image floats on top - but whats my alternative? There's not enough space on the first page to display the image there, to I cannot use [h] as the float-alignment.
I can "hack it", by creating an empty new section, like
\section*{}
, but this creates some white-space, which looks weird. Any suggestions? -
Frederik Wordenskjold about 14 yearsThanks, it works! How do I let latex place the floats? If I dont add the [ht] or whatever float I want, it just places the image at the end of my document. Am I placing the image in a weird place? Where would you place it?

Alessandro Cuttin about 14 yearsuse preferably two placing options: [tb] for small figures, that stay well with the text on a single page; otherwise, for large figures, use [p]. More control on floats placement can be achieved with the package placeins

Frederik Wordenskjold about 14 yearsCool, I didnt know about those. [tb] seems to place the image exactly where it logically should be placed, so that seems to be exactly what I wanted.
