-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label textflow</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Flowing text around figures</h3>
-<p/>There are several LaTeX packages that purport to do this, but they
-all have their limitations because the TeX machine isn&#8217;t really
-designed to solve this sort of problem. Piet van Oostrum has
-conducted a survey of the available packages; he recommends:
-<dl>
-<dt><code>floatflt</code><dd> <i>floatflt</i> is an improved version
- (for LaTeX2e) of <i>floatfig.sty</i>, and its syntax is:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{floatingfigure}[options]{width of figure}
- figure contents
-\end{floatingfigure}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-
-There is a (more or less similar) <code>floatingtable</code>
-environment.
-<p/>The tables or figures can be set left or right, or alternating on
-even/odd pages in a double-sided document.
-<p/>The package works with the <code>multicol</code> package, but doesn&#8217;t work well
-in the neighbourhood of list environments (unless you change your
-LaTeX document).
-<dt><code>wrapfig</code><dd> <i>wrapfig</i> has syntax:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{wrapfigure}[height of figure in lines]{l,r,...}[overhang]{width}
- figure, caption, etc.
-\end{wrapfigure}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-
- The syntax of the <code>wraptable</code> environment is similar.
-<p/> Height can be omitted, in which case it will be calculated by the
- package; the package will use the greater of the specified and the
- actual width. The <code>{l,r,<em>etc</em>.}</code> parameter may
- also be specified as <code>i</code><em>(nside)</em> or
- <code>o</code><em>(utside)</em> for two-sided documents, and uppercase
- may be used to indicate that the picture should float. The
- overhang allows the figure to be
- moved into the margin. The figure or table will entered into the
- list of figures or tables if you use the <code>\</code><code>caption</code> command.
-<p/> The environments do not work within list environments that end
- before the figure or table has finished, but can be used in a
- parbox or minipage, and in twocolumn format.
- <dt><code>picins</code><dd> <i>Picins</i> is part of a large bundle
- that allows inclusion of pictures (e.g., with shadow boxes,
- various MSDOS formats, etc.). The command for inserting a
- picture at the start of a paragraph is:
- <blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>parpic</code><code>(width,height)(x-off,y-off)[Options][Position]{Picture}</code><br>
- <em>Paragraph text</em>
- </blockquote><p>
-
- All parameters except the <em>Picture</em> are optional. The picture
- can be positioned left or right, boxed with a rectangle, oval,
- shadowbox, dashed box, and a caption can be given which will be
- included in the list of figures.
-<p/> Unfortunately (for those of us whose understanding of German is not
- good), the documentation is in German. Piet van Oostrum has written
- a summary in English.
-</dl>
-All of the above deal insertions at one or other margin; they are able
-to take advantage of the TeX <code>\</code><code>parshape</code> primitive that allows
-you to adjust the margins of the text of a paragraph, by line (Knuth
-provides an example of such use, with text typeset in a circle,
-half-overlapping the margin, in chapter 14 of the TeXbook). To
-place insertions in the middle of a paragraph requires effort of an
-entirely different sort; the <i>cutwin</i> package does this for
-you. It requires a set of &#8220;part line widths&#8221; (two per line), and
-typesets the &#8220;cutout&#8221; section of the paragraph line by line. The
-examples in the package documentation look enticing.
-<p/>Plain TeX users only have one option: <i>figflow</i> (which
-doesn&#8217;t work in LaTeX). <i>Figflow</i> only offers flowed
-figures at the start of the paragraph, but it seems perfectly
-functional. Syntax is
-<blockquote>
- <code>\</code><code>figflow{</code><em>&lt;<i>width</i>&gt;</em><code>}{</code><em>&lt;<i>height</i>&gt;</em><code>}{</code><em>&lt;<i>figure</i>&gt;</em><code>}</code>
-</blockquote><p>
-(the user is responsible for having the dimensions correct, and for
-ensuring the figure fits on the page).
