I want several figures in my paper to appear near the text that they are
affiliated with.  So I specify
\begin{figure}[htb]
That works fine for a while.

But suppose I have
\begin{figure}[hbt]
stuff1
\end{figure}
text
\begin{figure}[hbt]
stuff2
\end{figure}


If figure 1 won't fit [h] here, or at the [b] bottom of the page, it goes on
the top of the next page.  Fine.  but then I want figure 2 to follow right
after figure 1, not at the bottom of the page.  Is there any way to do this?
