Here's a replacement for /pub/archive/macros/latex/misc/wrapfig.sty from its author, Donald Arseneau (asnd@erich.triumf.ca). I know that picinpar is suggested by the doggie book as a solution to the problem of flowing text past figures, but this works well, too. People who have already made some use of it might like the bug fix. ------------------------------------- cut here -------------------------------- % % W R A P F I G .

<\caption> etc. \end{wrapfigure} % -- - --- % [number of narrow lines] {left or right} {width of figure} % % Usage: % This is a different type of *non-floating* figure environment for LaTeX. % A figure of the specified width appears on the left or right (as specified) % of the page. LaTeX will try to wrap text around the figure leaving a gap of % \columsep by producing a number of short lines of text. LaTeX calculates % the number of short lines needed based on the height of the figure plus % the length \intextsep. You can override this guess by giving the optional % argument specifying the number of shortened lines (counting each displayed % equation as 3 lines). Cautions: % o Wrapfigure should not be used inside another environment (e.g., list) % o It does work in two-column format, but that would be silly. % o Since it does not float, it may be out of sequence with floated figures. % o The automatic rules (lines) that may be placed above or below floats % are ignored here. You must insert the rules manually. % % Placement: % LaTeX will not move a wrapfigure to the best place, so it is up to YOU % to position it well. Any changes to the document can ruin your careful % positioning so wrapfigures should be positioned just before printing a % final copy. Here are the rules for good placement: % o The environment should be placed so as to not run over a page boundary. % o Only ordinary text should have to flow past the figure; no section % titles please. Equations are acceptable if they fit. % o It is convenient to give \begin{wrapfigure} just after a paragraph has % ended. But if you want to start in the middle of a paragraph, you must % put the environment between two words where there is a natural linebreak % (like "must" and "put" above). % \newcount \WF@wrappedlines % used globally \def\wrapfigure{\@ifnextchar[{\WF@raptfig}{\WF@raptfig[-1]}} \def\WF@raptfig[#1]#2#3{\relax\ifx\par\@@par\else\typeout {WARNING: wrapfigure used inside another environment.}\fi \ifnum#10>\z@ % 10*num. lines specified (0 if blank) \global\WF@wrappedlines#1\global\advance\WF@wrappedlines\@ne \else % calc num. lines later \global\WF@wrappedlines\z@ \fi \ifvmode % Between paragraphs: Start new one.
