Figures in LaTeX

Question

How do you have a figure imported so that it appears on the bottom of a page with a caption? When I import it and put a caption on it normally, it always appears at the top of a page.

Just an example:

Caption below

\begin{figure}[h]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{thatcat.jpg}
  \caption{That cat!} % caption line
\end{figure}

caption below

Caption above

\begin{figure}[h]
  \centering
  \caption{That cat!} % caption line
  \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{thatcat.jpg}
\end{figure}

caption above

if i'd like to have tet between two figures how can i do it ? – Fady Kamal May 28 '13 at 01:07
@FadyKamal what does "tet" mean? – Yamaneko May 28 '13 at 02:53
@FadyKamal I think you'll need to use a package to include multiple figures, like `subfig` or `subfigure`. Then, you'll just need to put your caption between the two `subfigures`. – Yamaneko Jul 29 '13 at 21:10

To add to freyrs:

If if you put \caption above the \includegraphics the caption will be above the figure, if you put \caption below the \includegraphics the caption will appear below the figure.
