A more general algorithm for placing of floats could = be

In an environment of 'n' columns a float can be 1 to n = columns wide. I do
mean n and not n-1

there is sufficient space left at the point that it = is encountered in the
input stream. If there is insufficient space then it = can appear at the
bottom of the next column(s) if there are sufficent = columns otherwise on a
separate page.

A float can appear at the top of the next column(s) = provided that there are
sufficient columns otherwise on a separate = page.

A float can appear 'here' across the column(s). = Personally I think this
option is dreadful but I have seen books where it has = been used. You never
know which text follows which.
