Hello professor, can figures and tables be forced into a section? sometimes my figures appear in the section after, like this one: It is almost due date and this is stressing me out :( thanks! |

Hello @diana200001 Figures and tables are floating “objects”. Such objects must be referenced in the proper section but, due to pagination requirements, they may be exhibited elsewhere, e.g., in the previous or subsequent section. The pagination requirements may be due to, e.g., the figure would be too low on the page and overlap the margins, or even out of the page. Please always use “[htbp]” or “[htp]” in the figure/table environments, and let LaTeX do its magic. What you believe is the best (correct) may indeed be inadequate, and LaTeX knows best! 😃 |
