Re: Figure placement

I am frustrated by figure placement. I have a figure near the top
of an article that, if I write \begin{figure}[!h], it gets put in
the middle of a sentence, but if I write \begin{figure}[!t] it
naturally goes above the title.
 
Is it possible to force a figure to go where I want it?

"Forcing" of floats is generally a bad idea, if you want a figure or
table at a specific place, use the tabular or includegraphics commands
without wrapping them into a floating environment.

I do use the placeins package to place \FloatBarriers between sections,
this ensures that floats are placed near where they are referred to. The
rest I leave to LaTeX.
