 \item[\meta{height correction}] is an optional argument with a preset value of 0.8, it reduces the image height by that value, in order to assure that the figure has enough space for the image and its caption; if captions are not “narrative” (too many sentences) the value of 0.8 should be suited in most cases; the user, while revising the document drafts might decide to use a different value, of course always not greater than~1. This correction may be used with some display modes that concern only one page, not a full spread.

 We stress the first optional argument meaning, whose default value is \texttt{SW}. It specifies the \meta{display mode}.
 \begin{description}[noitemsep]
 %
-\item[\texttt{SW}] is the acronym that specifies the \meta{display mode} for a  Spread Wide figure; it consists into a full spread, without any text, and with its caption typeset in the external margin of the odd numbered page in a vertical fashion. Since this display mode needs to start on an even page, the user should carefully find the proper place where to insert the user macro \cs{DGimage} (named as “steering” macro, since it decides which large figure style to use), because it starts a new page and possibly inserts a blank page if the new one is odd numbered.

The steering macro can be also inserted within a paragraph\footnote{remeber to leave a space before \cs{DFimage} and no space after the last argument.}, and after its complete expansion restores the vertical mode; nevertheless, even so, it may insert a blank page if the next page is odd numbered.
 %
-\item[\texttt{HS}] refers to a Horizontal Slim image, that requires a spread wide display mode, such that the first of the facing pages is an even numbered one, and with some text beneath both half images; since the caption is under the right half, the space occupied by this part of the image is higher than that in the facing page, it is necessary to equalise these vertical spaces, and the specific code takes care of this constraint. Also in this case the user should carefully chose the place where to insert the steering macro.

Also in this case the user should carefully chose the place where to insert the steering macro.
 %
 \item[\texttt{VS}] This case refers to a Vertical Slim image. This situation requires a really slim image, so that if its “height over width” ratio (its aspect ratio) is smaller than~2, the macro does not insert anything, except a message in its place, that informs the user about the cause of this refusal and suggests other display modes. The procedure is based on the use of the \pack{wrapfig} functionalities; this package has several limitations that the user should check in its documentation. Nevertheless, if there is enough “normal” text available to wrap the figure, the result is quite good. There are two parameters to fine tune the wrapped image with its caption: the \meta{height correction} and the \meta{line correction}.
