I'm not convinced that this is correct; I'm sure I have had floats
(including figures) placed where I asked them to be placed. :-)

Be that as is it were; if you put:

\usepackage{float}

in your preamble and then do

\begin{figure}[H]

<whatever>

\end{figure}

the figure will appear ***exactly*** where you put it --- provided
of course that there is room for it there.  Elsewise you'll get a
page break just before the figure.
