LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats. + +See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. +</pre> + +your figures (or tables) are failing to be placed properly. LaTeX +has a limited amount of storage for 'floats' (figures, tables, or +floats you've defined yourself with the <i>float</i> package); if +you don't let it ever actually typeset any floats, it will run out of +space. +<p>This failure usually occurs in extreme cases of + + +<a href="FAQ-floats.html">floats moving "wrongly"</a>; +LaTeX has found it can't place a float, and floats of the same type +have piled up behind it. LaTeX's idea is to ensure that caption +numbers are sequential in the document: the caption number is +allocated when the figure (or whatever) is created, and can't be +changed, so that placement out of order would mean figure numbers +appearing out of order in the document (and in the list of figures, or +whatever). So a simple failure to place a figure means that no +subsequent figure can be placed; and hence (eventually) the error. +<p>Techniques for solving the problem are discussed in the + +<a href="FAQ-floats.html">floats question</a> +already referenced. +<p>The error also occurs in a +long sequence of <code>figure</code> or <code>table</code> +environments, with no intervening +text. Unless the environments will fit "here" (and you've allowed +them to go "here"), there will never be a page break, and so there +will never be an opportunity for LaTeX to reconsider placement. +(Of course, the floats can't all fit "here" if the sequence is +sufficiently prolonged: once the page fills, LaTeX won't place any +more floats, leading to the error. +<p>Techniques for resolution may involve redefining the floats using the +<i>float</i> package's <code>[H]</code> float qualifier, but you are unlikely +to get away without using <code>\</code><code>clearpage</code> from time to time. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>float.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float.zip">macros/latex/contrib/float</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tmupfl">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tmupfl</a> +</body> |
