How to force two figures to stay on the same page in LaTeX

Question

I have two images that I want to display on a page as figures  Each eats up little less than half of the space available so there s not much room for any other stuff on that page  but I know there is enough space for both of the figures  I tried to place the figures with  ht  and  hb   both  h  and both  ht  but still I can t get those two images on the same page but instead at least few paragraphs between them    How do I force those two figures to stay on the same page

Try using the float package and then the  H  option for your figure   usepackage float         begin figure  H   centering  includegraphics fig1   caption Write some caption here  label fig1   end figure   as already suggested by this insightful answer  https   tex stackexchange com questions 8625 force-figure-placement-in-text

try  h   first but else you can do it the ugly way   LateX is a bit hard in placing images with such constraints as it manages placing itself  What I usually do if I want a figure right in that spot is do something like    text in front of image here    newpage    figure1    figure2  text after images here   I know it may not be the correct way to do it but it works like a charm         edit  You can do the same if you want a little text at top of the page but then just use  clearpage  Of course you can also scale them a bit smaller so it does not happen anymore  Maybe the non-seen whitespace is a bit larger than you suspect  I always try to scale down my image until they do appear on the same page  just to know for sure there is not like 1  overlap only making all of this not needed

If you want to have images about same topic  you ca use subfigure package and construction    begin figure    subfigure first image   includegraphics image  label first     subfigure second image   includegraphics image  label second     caption main caption  label main label   end figure    If you want to have  for example two  different images next to each other you can use    begin figure    begin minipage   5 textwidth     includegraphics image     caption first    end minipage    begin minipage   5 textwidth     includegraphics image     caption second    end minipage   end figure    For images in columns you will have  1   2   3   4  in the source  but it will look like   1   3    2   4

I had this problem while trying to mix figures and text  What worked for me was the  H  option without the     option   begin figure  H   H  tries to forces the figure to be exactly where you put it in the code  This requires you include  usepackage float  The options are explained here

You can put two figures inside one figure environment  For example    begin figure  p   centering  includegraphics fig1   caption Caption 1   includegraphics fig2   caption Caption 2   end figure    Each caption will generate a separate figure number

If you want them both on the same page and they ll both take up basically the whole page  then the best idea is to tell LaTeX to put them both on a page of their own    begin figure  p    It would probably be against sound typographic principles  e g   ugly  to have two figures on a page with only a few lines of text above or below them     By the way  the reason that   h  works is because it s telling LaTeX to override its usual restrictions on how much space should be devoted to floats on a page with text  As implied above  there s a reason the restrictions are there  Which isn t to say they can be loosened somewhat  see the FAQ on doing that
