Hi
I am using kile (latex editor for kde) and have created a simple how to
file, the code is below, what is happening is that it compiles
fine, however where I have the picture inserted this a
appears first then the text that in the source is above it. I would
have expected this the other way round. I thought I would ask here to
see if anyone can shed light on what is going on. I use lyx normally
but want to learn produce some pure LaTeX files so I can learn both.
That is because figures are floats: LaTeX puts them where it wants, with
hints from you. Read this:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions
or something similar.
If you want the graphic exactly where it is in the text, then you need
to load the float package:
\usepackage{float}
and use the "here definitely" option:
\begin{figure}[H]
....
\end{figure}
That tells LaTeX: Put it where it is.

If you start a new file with File - New or you can start a specifc type
of file with File - New (from template) the latter gives you some basic
headers for that type
of file, e.g c, python, latex etc.
