From the linked guidelines:
Authors should keep in mind when choosing an appropriate optional placement argument for the figure/table environments that most IEEE journals strongly favor the positioning of floats to the top of the page and rarely, if ever, use bottom floats.
So perhaps it should rather be placement: top
?
Notably, it also says this though:
Middle in-text placement (“here”) is usually not used for IEEE work with one notable exception—IEEE Computer Society conferences.
I changed it to be placement: top
. For the "rare exception" one can still manually set the placement
to something different. Having a sane default is helpful for 90% of the cases and a good initial guess when composing a paper.
Agreed. Thanks!
According to the official IEEE template guidelines figures must be placed to the top or bottom of the page. This sets the figure parameter
placement

to adhere to this guideline.
