# Fix Figure and Table Placement Issues in LaTeX

> Control figure and table placement in LaTeX with float options, barriers, and layout tuning.

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

```latex float-control.tex theme={null}
\usepackage{placeins}

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

\FloatBarrier
```
