Does anyone know how to place figures at the bottom of a page ? At the moment, it automatically goes at the top of a new page...

I am using LyX.

    Isn't the \begin{figure}[!hbt] works for this? More about this. – m0nhawk Jan 06 '13 at 15:23

    @m0nhawk hbt will not choose bottom as the first option, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39017/how-to-influence-the-position-of-float-environments-like-figure-and-table-in-lat/39020#39020 for an extensive explanation of the LaTeX algorithm. However, this may not help if LyX is used. – Frank Mittelbach Jan 06 '13 at 16:06

You insert the figure following the menus Insert > Float > Figure. Once the figure is placed and the cursor is positions on/in it, follow the menus Edit > Float Settings... Here you can update the float placement:

enter image description here

This will change the code in the code window to add the float placement specifier for the [b]ottom:

\begin{figure}[b]

\end{figure}
