latex fix figure position code example

Example 1: Start Image from top of page Latex

I assume you issue a \clearpage (or something similar) just before using \begin{figure}...\end{figure}, right? If this is the case, add \mbox{} (or \null) after the figure environment before starting a new \chapter and your alignment should be fixed. Since there's nothing else on the page, LaTeX centres it, since that would be the best way to present the information.

Example 2: move figure to right latex

\begin{landscape}
\vspace*{1cm}
\hspace*{2cm}\includegraphics[width = 0.4 \linewidth]{figures1}\hspace*{-2cm}
\end{landscape}
