How do I insert an image at a specific point in the document?
You can influence the location LaTeX chooses to place an image using so-called placement specifiers, which are options provided to the figure environment. The following code fragment uses [h!]
, which instructs LaTeX to try to place the figure exactly where it appears in the text instead of letting it 'float' to another location in the document.
\begin{figure}[h!]
\caption{A picture of a gull.}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{Image File Name}
\end{figure}
Despite using [h!]
LaTeX might not be able to place the figure exactly where it was encountered. For more information on figure placement, see the Overleaf article Positioning images and tables.
