1.2.1-19 Placing Figures Near Their Citations

When tables and/or graphics are combined with text, each figure should be placed near its first citation in the text, preferably in the same display frame.

Additional Information:
Users may not bother to find and look at a figure if it is displayed separately from its citation in the text. As an exception, if a figure is cited at several points in the text, then it might be desirable to allow optional display of the figure at user request, perhaps as a temporary window overlay at each point of citation. Also, if a figure is cited at several points in printed text, and particularly if that text may be accessed at different places by its readers, then it might be desirable to group figures consistently at a particular location, such as at the end of each section.
