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.
