4.4.2 Floats

Figures and tables (i.e., floats) may also be inserted using AUCTeX. After choosing either `figure' or `table' in the environment list described above, you will be prompted for a number of additional things.

float position
This is the optional argument of float environments that controls how they are placed in the final document. In LaTeX this is a sequence of the letters `htbp' as described in the LaTeX manual. The value will default to the value of LaTeX-float.

caption
This is the caption of the float.

label
The label of this float. The label will have a default prefix, which is controlled by the variables LaTeX-figure-label and LaTeX-table-label.

Moreover, you will be asked if you want the contents of the float environment to be horizontally centered. Upon a positive answer a `\centering' macro will be inserted at the beginning of the float environment.

User Option: LaTeX-float
Default placement for floats.

User Option: LaTeX-figure-label
Prefix to use for figure labels.

User Option: LaTeX-table-label
Prefix to use for table labels.
