Which tool should I use to easily maintain my training material? I thought about using LaTeX + Beamer so that I can easily put under versi...

So I have a Latex file with some plots. However there's a problem with the figure floats in the image. I have a picture right before a page break, and latex pushes the to big plot down to the next.

I have two images that I want to display on a page as figures. Each eats up little less than half of the space available so there's not much room for any other stuff on that page, but I know there is enough space for both of the figures. I tried to place the figures with [ht] and [hb], both [h] and both [ht] but still I can't get those t...
