Figures are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are
usually "floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a page.
Figures will not be split between two pages.
</P>
<P>
The optional argument <CODE>[placement]</CODE> determines where LaTeX will try
to place your figure. There are four places where LaTeX can possibly
put a float:
</P>
<OL>
<LI>
<CODE>h</CODE> (Here) - at the position in the text where the figure
environment appears.
<LI>
<CODE>t</CODE> (Top) - at the top of a text page.
<LI>
<CODE>b</CODE> (Bottom) - at the bottom of a text page.
<LI>
<CODE>p</CODE> (Page of floats) - on a separate float page, which is a page
containing no text, only floats.
</OL>
<P>
The standard report and article classes use the default placement
<CODE>tbp</CODE>.
</P>
<P>
The body of the figure is made up of whatever text, LaTeX commands, etc.
you wish. The <CODE>\caption</CODE> command allows you to title your figure.
