17  \centering
18  \fbox{\parbox{0.6\textwidth}{\centering\vspace{2cm}[placeholder image]\vspace{2cm}}}
19  \caption{A basic figure with a caption.}

25\section{Figure Placement}
26
27LaTeX uses placement specifiers:
28\begin{description}
29  \item[\texttt{h}] Here --- at this position in the text
30  \item[\texttt{t}] Top of the page
31  \item[\texttt{b}] Bottom of the page
32  \item[\texttt{p}] On a dedicated floats page
33  \item[\texttt{H}] Exactly here (requires \texttt{float} package)
34\end{description}
35
36Use \verb|[htbp]| for maximum flexibility. Use \verb|[H]| to force exact placement.

59\section{Figure with Image File}
60
61When working with sublimated, images in the same folder are resolved automatically:
62
63\begin{verbatim}
64\begin{figure}[h]
65  \centering
66  \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{results-plot.png}
67  \caption{Experimental results.}
68  \label{fig:results}
69\end{figure}
70\end{verbatim}
71
72Supported formats: PNG, JPEG, PDF (vector), EPS (with conversion).

74\section{Multiple Cross-References}
75
76Figures~\ref{fig:basic} and \ref{fig:comparison} show different approaches.
77Subfigure~\ref{fig:before} shows the baseline while \ref{fig:after} shows the improvement.
