Floats

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

float-to

This field is the option 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, in the case of a `figure' environment, you will be asked if you want to insert a `center' environment inside the figure.

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.
