General ⇒ My figures are always going to last page

[HypnosiS]

Hello,

I am using *.png figures in my document. Most of the time even if I use [ht!] my figures are always going to the last page of the document. Then I solved this problem with \usepackage{float} and typing [H].

Now,

I have two big figures and I wanted to rotate them by \usepackage{rotating}. Now pictures are rotating and captions are also rotating. However, now [H] parameter doesnt work and again these 2 pictures are going to back even if I use [ht!].

Can anyone solve my problem? Why my figures always want to go back?

Code: Select all

\begin{sidewaysfigure}[ht!]
  \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.95\textwidth]{matrix}
    \caption{Full correlation matrix for 2 countries}
    \label{correlation}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

Hi,

you could force the output of your figures a some place by inserting \clearpage or \cleardoublepage.

Hi,

Thank you very much. I used \clearpage but it didnt work. Then I searched from google and a guy said (http://people.cs.uu.nl/piet/floats/node1.html) I need to use afterpage package with \clearpage. When I used it, my big pictures are replaced to where I want.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{afterpage}
...
\afterpage{\clearpage}
\begin{sidewaysfigure}[h!]
  \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.95\textwidth]{matrix}
    \caption{Full correlation matrix for 2 countries}
    \label{correlation}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

Also I did this one:

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\include{intro}
\include{ch2}
\include{ch3}
\include{ch4}
\end{document}

In that case, figures are not going back but going at the end of each chapter. I wrote here since some people might read and find useful.

Hi there,

From what I get, by rotating your big picture LaTeX does not find any way to include the graphics inside your text. Instead of \clearpage, have you tried something like: \newpage or \pagebreak before and after your graphics.

It might be that you need to give LaTeX the chance and the space to include your graphics in your text. Therefore, even [H] or [!h] want do the trick, mainly because it only strongly encourages to put the figure there.

Cheers

A sidewaysfigure or sidewaystable always uses a whole page, so options like !ht are rarely useful but often destructive here. Without optional argument it will usually be placed on the very next page.

Hi fatra, it didnt help to solve the problem. Again big pistures are going to back.

Hi sommerfee,
This is cool. Without any parameters, I again get the same solution. Thank you very much. Sometimes thinking simple is more helpful. Im astonished, why didnt I try that
