Figures are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are
usually "floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a page.
Figures will not be split between two pages.
<p>
The optional argument [placement] determines where LaTeX will try to
place your figure. There are four places where LaTeX can possibly put
a float:
<ul>
<li><TT>h</TT> Here - at the position in the text where the figure
environment appears.
<li><TT>t</TT> Top - at the top of a text page.
<li><TT>b</TT> Bottom - at the bottom of a text page.
<li><TT>p</TT> Page of floats - on a separate float page, which is a page
containing no text, only floats.
</ul>
The standard report and article styles use the default placement tbp.
<p>
The body of the figure is made up of whatever text, LaTeX commands,
etc., you wish. The
<a href="caption.html"><tt>\caption</tt></a>
command allows you to title your figure.
