floatspositioning
I have a little problem with the placement of my picture. I want to insert it at the end of the introduction chapter but its place is not where I want.
I think the problem become from the:
\begin{figure}
...
\end{figure}
Because when I insert the picture without using \begin{figure}... the picture is at the end of the chapter as I want.
Look the picture below.
The following setup delays the placement of a single float to the end of a chapter. The environ package allows to capture the contents of an environment into a macro (see How can one pass the contents of a LaTeX environment to a macro?). Making sure that any banked/stored float is flushed \AtEndDocument.
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{environ}% http://ctan.org/pkg/environ
\let\chapendfigure\relax
\let\oldchapter\chapter
\renewcommand{\chapter}{\chapendfigure\oldchapter}
\AtEndDocument{\chapendfigure}
\NewEnviron{chapendfig}{%
\global\let\chapendfigureBODY\BODY%
\gdef\chapendfigure{%
\begin{figure}\chapendfigureBODY\end{figure}%
\let\chapendfigure\relax%
}%
}
\begin{document}
\chapter{A chapter}
\begin{figure}
\centering\rule{.8\textwidth}{.2\textwidth}\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}
\begin{chapendfig}
\centering\rule{.8\textwidth}{.2\textwidth}\caption{Another figure}
\end{chapendfig}
%\show\chapendfigure
%\show\chapendfigureBODY
\lipsum[1-25]
\chapter{Another chapter}
\end{document}
The final figure positioning can be changed inside the \chapendfigure macro (defined inside the chapendfig environment. Even though the above example delays a figure, it can be used for table (or any other float) as well.
A simple way (for the \chapter* figures) is to just redefine \thefigure within the figure environments that need to be changed.
\begin{figure}
\renewcommand\thefigure{A} % Make this Figure A
...
A working example:
\documentclass[]{amsbook}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
% Set counter to include Chapter
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithin{figure}{chapter}
\begin{document}
\chapter*{Introduction}
Content references Fig.~\ref{fig:a}
\begin{figure}[h]
\renewcommand\thefigure{A} % Make this Figure A
\centering
\includegraphics[width=3in]{test.pdf}
\caption{Caption}\label{fig:a}
\end{figure}
\chapter{One}
Content references Fig.~\ref{fig:one}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=3in]{test.pdf}
\caption{Caption}\label{fig:one}
\end{figure}
\chapter*{Conclusion}
Content references Fig.~\ref{fig:b}
\begin{figure}[h]
\renewcommand\thefigure{B}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=3in]{test.pdf}
\caption{Caption}\label{fig:b}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
