  • Another participant recommends using h! to override internal constraints for figure placement.
  • A subsequent reply indicates that using h! did not resolve the issue.

I have \begin{figure}[h] ... \end{figure},

but it's just placing the figure at the top of the page.

do i need some package? which one?

thanks very much.

Try to use h! in order to override the internal constraints when determining the "here" position.
