Latex: Text cannot be placed below image

Question

I\'m having a problem with an image and some text. I have this code:

Some text...\\\\

\\begin{figure}[ht]
\\centering
\\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{picture.jpg}         


        

Answer 1

If you really need to have the figure in that place, use the float package:

In the preamble:

\usepackage{float}

then, in the text:

Some text...

\begin{figure}[H]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[scale=0.75]{picture.jpg}
  \caption{The caption}   
  \label{fig:picture}
\end{figure}

Some more text...

Even though, is more preferable to let LaTeX place the floats.

Another way to do the same thing is by using the caption package.

In the preamble:

\usepackage{caption}

then, in the text:

Some text...

\begin{center}
  \includegraphics[scale=0.75]{picture.jpg}\\
  \caption{figure}[LOF entry]{The caption}   
  \label{fig:picture}
\end{center}

Some more text...
