All - I am experiencing some strange behavior with external graphics. I use one file to setup all the graphics for later inclusion. All that is in the file is a bunch of "\useexternalgraphics" statements, so I can reference the graphics by name later. The problem comes when I try to use "\placefigure" instead of "\externalfigure". Here is an example:
Figure setup:
\useexternalfigure[Figure 1][Figure1][scale=520,type=pdf,factr=broad] % This sets up the file 'Figure1.pdf' for later inclusion
If I then reference it using
\externalfigure[Figure 1]
the figure is included at the spot following the text, and fits on the remainder of the page, which is what I want. But if I try to add a caption to it by using
\placefigure [force][] {} {\externalfigure[Figure 1][Figure 1]}
the figure gets the caption, but always is placed on the top of the following page. Why is this?
because it dos not fit (spacing around it, \placefigure [force,none][] {} {\externalfigure[Figure 1][Figure 1]} may help -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
