-  This section will provide examples of how to create figures, and different types of multi/sub-figures. Additionally, if you have many figures in a section and they are bleeding too much into the following sections a \textbackslash{}clearpage command can be issued before the next section.

Additionally, if you have many figures in a section and they are bleeding too much into the following sections a \textbackslash{}clearpage command can be issued before the next section. However, note that this will force the next section to begin on a new page. Note that the first ``figure'' is actually a plate; a plate is the proper title associated with a photograph, using the environment `plate' instead of figure and command listofplates will generate everything for you.
