How to position a figure enviroment above footnote?

Question

It's a simple question: I'd like to put figure on the bottom of the page, but above footnote. I'm using memoir, but with documentclass{article} the result is the same.

Example:

\documentclass[article]{memoir}

\begin{document}
Some text\footnote{The footnote}

\begin{figure}[b]
\vspace{2cm}
\caption{Bild 2}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

I don't want to use a process of trial and error for each figure in my document, "hacking" the position option with an [h].

Answer 1

You can use \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc} or (only in memoir) the command \feetbelowfloat.

\documentclass[article]{memoir}
\feetbelowfloat
\begin{document}
Some text\footnote{The footnote}

\begin{figure}[b]
\vspace{2cm}
\caption{Bild 2}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
