Manually Place a Figure in LaTeX (here: End of Chapter/Section)

Question

I have a little problem with the placement of my picture. I want to insert it at the end of the introduction chapter but its place is not where I want.

I think the problem become from the:

\begin{figure}
...
\end{figure}

Because when I insert the picture without using \begin{figure}... the picture is at the end of the chapter as I want.

Look the picture below.

Exact/Manual Placing/Positioning of Figures/Pictures/Tables/"Normally Floating Objects" in LaTeX by Using the float Package

---

• The float package provides the H placement option.
• H places a figure (float) exactly where you put it in the code.
• The remaining code is the same as for normal figures (floats).
• Warning: Many very experienced users here seem to dislike this solution for some reason whereas I still like it because the code is the same for floating and non-floating objects.
• Normally one is supposed to let LaTeX decide where to place a figure (for a nicer layout).
• I found myself often in a situation (e. g. supervisor wishes a specific position) where I was happy that the float package offers a manual approach.
