LaTeX figure placement problem solved. Place figures in sections in LaTeX.

If you use LaTeX and you tend to have a lot of figures, they will start to float too much… and you will get misplaced figures that make it difficult to read your documents (even for proof reading!). Here is the solution to this perennial LaTeX problem… there is a package for that… and it’s name is placeins.

Here with the option “section”, all figures in a section will be placed in that section.

Now LaTeX will place your figures sensibly, all thanks to this wonderful package!

\usepackage[section]{placeins}
