Peace,

Is it necessary to force very float to be 'here definitely' if I actually
want it to be correctly placed in the text?

Marwan,

You might want to read this:

Calling an aspect of the software "pathetic" isn't a good way to endear
yourself to a list you've inhabited for a month, and therefore not a way to
get a maximal response.

That's not to say I've never expressed frustration (see
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg61985.html), but I'd
been on the list 7 years when I wrote that.

As far as your question, the bigger your graphics, the less likely you'll like
where LaTeX puts them. Personally, I use "here definitely" quite a bit,
especially for large graphics, or graphics which really should come
immediately after the text that calls them.

I'm pretty sure this is a LaTeX thing, not a LyX thing, so anything you use that employs LaTeX will have this problem, which is why the "here definitely"
option is available.

Thank you for the response...

As it happens the graphics are large, taking up, lengthwise about 40% of the page. And they tend to need to be where i put them for the most part.

Regarding 'pathetic', you point is noted and accepted.

Peace
