Float behavior is controlled by layout rules, not exact insertion points.

​
Symptoms

  • Figure appears several pages later.
  • Table jumps to top or bottom unexpectedly.
  • Too many unprocessed floats warnings.

​
Fix Workflow

  1. Use sensible float hints ([htbp]).
  2. Reduce oversized figures/tables.
  3. Insert float barriers between sections.
  4. Avoid forcing every float with [H].

​
Example

float-control.tex
\usepackage{placeins}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{plot.pdf}
  \caption{Model performance}
\end{figure}
