Figures flowing past end of section.

[Maarten Sneep <maarten.sneep@xs4all.nl>]

Hi,

Subject say some, let me elaborate to make myself perfectly clear. I 
have a few figures at the end of a section, right before the start of 
the next section. The figures however end up in the wrong location. 
I've seen various permutations of the following: figures are placed in 
a location where they don't fit (with the figure starting below the 
lower margin and only 50% fitting on the page) and an empty page-end, 
followed by the section title, followed by one figure below the title, 
and the second figure (on yet another new page) ...

Are there commands to flush the figures, or is there another, more 
elegant solution?
Which part of the setup would you need to see to help me solve this 
issue?

Kind regards,

Maarten

Note that this is a fit on five measurements. For our frequency range, 
no extrapolation was needed, but the error on the value of the King 
correction factor may be as large as 10\percent{}.
