Blindingly obvious trick when optimising figure positioning

[Steve Rickaby]

Interesting responses to this post, which I guess highlight the range of media on which we are working. I posted the simple 'trick' because it helped me, and I thought it might help someone else.

In this case the media is a 600+pp textbook on software security. I have been working on it most of this winter, and have necessarily had to become somewhat obsessive in order to maintain my tenuous hold on sanity. At some point it will be converted into an e-book, although this is a process with which I am not involved. If as a result I was guilty of book-centric thinking, my bad.
