I'm currently writing an internship report and I'd like to make an appendix with every pictures of my PDF and on le last page a glossary. But I'm in trouble the glossary print before or in the middle of the figures.

I'm not really good with strict rules, most of my solutions act like "fixes"

    \appendix
    \part{Annexes}
\newpage
    \center

    \begin{figure}%FT17
        ...
    \end{figure}        

    %Glossary is shown here

    \begin{figure}%Usines
        ...
    \end{figure}

    \begin{figure}%VentesElec1
        ...
    \end{figure}

    \begin{figure}%VentesElec2
        ...
    \end{figure}

    \begin{figure}%RenaultNissan
        ...
    \end{figure}    

    \begin{figure}%COP21
        ...
    \end{figure}

    \begin{figure}%OrganigrammeDEAS
        ...Some Tikz Stuff...
    \end{figure}

    \printglossaries

  • I used \begin{figure}[H] from float package and it seem to work but I think it's a bit... harsh or disgusting (don't know the exact name) – Biboozz Jul 05 '16 at 14:33
  • welcome to tex.sx. do you have any other text in your appendix? (it doesn't look like it.) you don't need to place your graphics in the figure environment; \includegraphics can be set by itself, and a package such as \capt-of used to include captions if you want them. also, \begin{center} ... \end{center} or \centering should be used instead of \center; and the centering needs to be rurned off before you print your glossary. – barbara beeton Jul 05 '16 at 14:37
  • Actually I need the figure environment because I'm using a system of \label (\refstepcounter{figure}\label{#1}\addtocounter{figure}{-1}) and \ref({\hyperref[#1]{\textsc{Figure ~\ref{#1}}}) for each one. – Biboozz Jul 05 '16 at 14:41
  • are you saying you need the figure environment for the \label and \ref? that's not actually true. it's the \caption that identifies the \label, and captions provided with the capt-of package also support \ref. (if you are creating a list of figures, that might require some additional attention.) – barbara beeton Jul 05 '16 at 14:46
  • Ok I'll try it. But with my system the label isn't carried by the caption but by the picture. Like that it's easier when you click on a link it focus on the picture and not the caption. – Biboozz Jul 05 '16 at 14:49
  • in that case, more information is necessary. a compilable example is preferable, including (especially) the \documentclass. your system seems rather unusual in that respect. – barbara beeton Jul 05 '16 at 14:52
  • I understand i'll try to give you a working small example instead of my whole code... – Biboozz Jul 05 '16 at 14:54
  • here it is (I have a problem with my .glo so I don't know if it work of if it's me) – Biboozz Jul 05 '16 at 15:05
  • You could put \clearpage before \printglossaries. That will cause a page break, but it will ensure all the floats are processed before the glossary. If you have a problem with the .glo file, try makeglossariesgui it has some diagnostic tools that might work out what the problem is. (See this answer for examples.) – Nicola Talbot Jul 05 '16 at 17:03

here it is (I have a problem with my .glo so I don't know if it work of if it's me)

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\newcommand{\figlabel}[1]{\refstepcounter{figure}\label{#1}\addtocounter{figure}{-1}}
\newcommand{\figref}[1]{\hyperref[#1]{\textsc{Figure ~\ref{#1}}}}

\begin{document}

\newacronym{POCM}{POCM}{Picture of My Cat}

Hello World! Here is a \gls{POCM} (\figref{fig:CAT} et \figref{fig:CAT2}).

\newpage
\appendix
\section{Appendix}
\newpage
\begin{figure}
    \center
    \figlabel{fig:CAT}
    \fbox{Mew !}
    \caption{Picture of my cat : Mew}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
    \center
    \figlabel{fig:CAT2}
    \fbox{MewTwo !}
    \caption{Picture of my other cat : MewTwo}
\end{figure}

  • When you clock on the ref of a picture it focus on the picture and not the caption – Biboozz Jul 05 '16 at 15:07

    this should really be added to the question, not posted as an answer. you can always edit your own questions. but it's a good demonstration of the problem. i haven't tried it yet, but think the technique might work as well using minipage (non-floating) rather than figure. – barbara beeton Jul 05 '16 at 15:20
