*.eps files at the end of current chapter ...

[Tokyo]

Hi everybody -
in my thesis I have added figures and tables. The problem is that in
the *.pdf file the tables are shown right where they should be, but the
figures are listed at the very end of the chapter. LaTeX creates a new
page before the next chapter starts and there the figures are shown one
after each other. How can I get rid of that problem ? All I want is
that they are shown in the text as the tables are too ...

Here a few lines how I included the figures:

\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{./Grafiken/}} \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
...
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering{\includegraphics*[scale=0.7]{Systemkegel}}
\captionof{figure}{Systemkegel} %caption in the table of figures
works perfectly !
\end{figure}
...

Hope there is someone out there who can help me ! Thank you !

Hi and happy new year.

The "H" option only works if you are using the float package.
Otherwise you have to use h, t, b. Use the float package. If you
already have this package on the preamble I suggest -- but I am not
sure if it works -- to remove the * in
\includegraphics*

Also, for pdflatex the extension eps is not correct. Try to convert
your graphics to png or jpg.

Bye

You can force latex to place figures immediately using \clearpage.
Whethere this is a good idea or not, I don't know.

\clearpage is effective, but there are better ways.

These figure logjams are usually due to over-restrictive float
placement. For example, using \begin{figure}[t] for a figure
that larger than the largest allowable top-figure.

You should use [htbp] or [tbp] whenever possible and make
sure your float-placement parameters are reasonable.
