I have a problem - when I insert figures in my document, latex creates a huge space between sections and text.

enter image description here

Any idea of how I change this? I may have code something in my main that went wrong, but I don't know what I am looking for in the main declaration..

My code for inserting the figure: enter image description here

    Probably same thing as https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/10743/why-does-latex-stretch-small-sections-across-the-whole-page-vertically/10747#10747 – Torbjørn T. May 22 '17 at 06:57

    Without MWE we can only speculate. My speculation is, that you do not allow the figure to float but have a two-side document using a class that automatically uses \flushbottom. So either allow the figures to float or use explicte \raggedbottom. And please always add a MWE to your questions. – Schweinebacke May 22 '17 at 06:58
  • not really related to the figure, (unless you used [H]) just that you have specified flush bottom and that is the only way to achieve that in this case (apparently) we have to guess as you have shown no code. – David Carlisle May 22 '17 at 06:59
  • Just let me know, what you need to see. My code for inserting figures is in the question. I can post my code for the main as well if needed? – Sine Palm May 22 '17 at 07:08

    Please do not show a screenshot of a code snippet. Add a MWE (see the link in my first comment)! Nevertheless: That's a exactly what David and I have speculated in our comments above. With [H] you don't allow the figure to float. And that's the main reason for your trouble. See: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/370627/why-should-the-h-option-not-be-used-in-floats – Schweinebacke May 22 '17 at 07:09
  • So sorry, but I don't know how to create a MWE, the link you send do no tells anything about creating it, but only how useful it is. I don't know where in my code things are wrong - I only know, that when I insert figures, a huge space appears... – Sine Palm May 22 '17 at 07:18
  • When I remove [H] it gets lot worse - even huger space and the figure on the next page and other figures before the figure, that should be number 1. – Sine Palm May 22 '17 at 07:21

    You should only use [H] if you really want the figure to stay exactly where you put it in your code. In other cases use a combination of h, t, b and p. If you use floating figures in all cases (no H), then the order is not changed. The issue in your document arises from the use of non-floating figures with \flushbottom as others noted in the comments already. If you don't allow TeX to do its work don't wonder why it's not doing its work. – Skillmon May 22 '17 at 07:34

    There are a lot of links in the answers to the MWE question. Several of them references How-Tos. Speculation: The reasons for odd reordering of figures are more [H] and is already explained in the answers to the link above. But if you do not want floats, see the link in the topmost comment. Nevertheless, I would really recommend to allow floating. – Schweinebacke May 22 '17 at 07:34

  • Basically, a MWE is something that anyone could copy and paste into their own editor that would demonstrate your issues on compile, but without any other errors (unless they are part of your particular problem). You should begin with \documentclass and end with \end{document} so we know the entire setup and can reproduce it. Help us help you. – sk8forether May 22 '17 at 16:12
