Bash scripting: convert float to integer
As bash is not able to handle floats the best way is to convert a float number (which is represented as a string, for example an output with awk) into an integer.
To do this [1,2]:
float=1.23
int=${float%.*}

“Too many unprocessed floats” in LaTeX
! LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats.
This error in LaTeX means that it is unable to handle more than a specific number of figures and tables (yes, there is a limit! no more than roughly 30).
Unless you want to replot and combine figures an easy solution is to add the package ‘morefloats’:
\usepackage{morefloats}
