Placing two-column floats at bottom of page

+

You specified placement ‘[htbp]’ for your full-width figure or +table, but they always get placed at the top of the page... Well, +it is what the documentation says: LaTeX, unadorned, only +allows full-width floats at the top of a page, or occupying (part of) a +float page. +

The stfloats package ameliorates the situation somewhat, and +makes LaTeX honour ‘[b]’ placement as well; the +dblfloatfix package combines a tidied version of the changes +made in stfloats with the + + float ordering corrections defined in + fixltx2e. +

A particular problem with stfloats and dblfloatfix +is that the float will appear, at its earliest, on the page after it +is specified. This has two undesirable side-effects: first, there may +be no bottom float on the first page of a document, and second, float +numbers may become “entangled” (particularly if you’re using +dblfloatfix that ensures that the early-specified bottom +float is set before any single column floats). +

(The FAQ team doesn’t know of any package that will make +LaTeX honour ‘[h]’ placement of double-column floats, but the +midfloat package can be pressed into service to provide +something approximating the effect it would have.) +
