I hope the example file to be self-explaining; but there is perhaps one tricky case enclosed: the program reports a collision between figure 3 & 4, but that's not true; indeed figure 3 collides with a section heading (it can not be completely set before the next \section command is to be honored); by consequence figure 3 is truncated and figure 4 OMITTED). For more details please refer to FLOATFIG TEX . NOTE: You cannot expect satisfying results as long as there is any collision warning message. Th.
