Hi,

I need some help with the basic layout on my report on anchor testing facilities.
My code looks like this.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper ]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{geometry}                
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage[naustrian]{babel}

\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{`convert #1 `dirname #1`/`basename #1 .tif`.png}

Could you help me how too Layout my document?
The picture and the short decription have to be arranged that it is very easy to read at a first glimpse without having to read the detailed description.
Also the pictures are in different sizes, but I want to have a consistent look for each subsection.

Any ideas?

I will recommend you to include your images by using something like this:
· [H] will put the figure right here where the code is written.
· the figure will be centered
· width=0.9\textwidth is the best solution in my opinion when you have images with different sizes since each figure will look better this way together with the text.
· the caption [] will appear in the index of figures
· the label is always useful to link your figure, I recommend you \autoref{fig:my_image}, this will automatically print:
"look at the \autoref{fig:my_image}" = look at the Figure 1.
if you write in german, you should set the german babel to get Darstellung oder so was anstatt Figure...


\begin{figure}[H]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{your_image.eps}
\end{center}
\caption[My beautiful image.]
{\label{fig:my_image}My image looks very good.}
\end{figure}

I hope this helps you.

Thanks! I just tried it, but the Picture didn't show up.
I changed the first \begin{figure}[H] to\begin{figure}[h!]. (I looked it up on wikipedia.)
Maybe it was just a typing error.

But anyway now it work and look very good. Thanks!

To be able to use the H, you must include the float package

Code: Select all

\usepackage{float}

[corderin]

Sorry I forgot it...thanks Robin...

I guess h! is almost the same as H

[nitrogen28]

Now it works with H, when I use the float package.
With h! I had troubles getting the pictures on the right page.

Thank for your help!
