|| '''Slide 1'''

'''Title Slide'''
|| Welcome to this spoken tutorial on ''' Wrap Text Around an Image.'''
|-
|| '''Slide 2'''

'''Learning Objectives'''
|| In this tutorial, we will learn how to
* Use the '''wrapfig''' package
* Write the syntax and set placement in '''wrapfigure'''
* Adjust the width and spacing between the image and text
|-
|| '''Slide 3'''

'''System Requirements'''

To record this tutorial, I am using:
* Linux Mint OS version 21.3
* TeXworks Editor version 0.6.6
|| To record this tutorial, I am using the following setup.
|-
|| '''Slide 4'''

'''Pre-requisites'''
|| To follow this tutorial, learners should have basic knowledge of LaTeX
|-
|| '''Slide 5: '''

'''Code files'''

The following code files are required to practice this tutorial:

1. wrapfig-eg.tex

2. Free-Stock-Photos.jpg

These files are provided in the Code Files link of this tutorial page
|| The following code files are required to practice this tutorial.

These files are provided in the '''Code Files''' link of this tutorial page.
|-
||
|| Let us get started
|-
|| '''Highlight :'''

'''\usepackage{wrapfig}'''

'''\usepackage{graphicx}'''
|| The''' wrapfig '''package allows text to wrap around the figures.

We load the '''graphicx '''package to include images in our document.
|-
|| Click the green Typeset button

Show the output
|| Click the green Typeset button to run the code.

Output shows images placed normally with some white space around them.

Let us see wrapping text around the figures.
|-
|| '''Uncomment the lines 12, 14, 35, 41'''

Run the code

Show the output
|| Uncomment the lines 12, 14, 35, and 41

Run the code.

We see the '''text wrapped '''around the figures

Let us see how the code works.
|-
|| '''Highlight :'''

'''lines 12 to 14'''
|| The environment '''wrapfigure''' is used to wrap the text around the figure.

'''Wrapfigure''' environment has 2 arguments in line 12.

The argument '''{r}''' next to '''wrapfigure''' is used to position the figure to the right.

Next argument '''{.4\textwidth}''' specifies the allotted width for the figure.

The text will be wrapped around this width.

Note that \'''includegraphics '''command is inside the '''wrapfigure''' environment.
|-
|| '''Highlight :'''

'''lines 35, 39, 41'''
|| Here '''{L} '''positions the figure to the left side.

'''Width '''is '''.6\textwidth.'''

The output shows one figure on the right and the other on the left side.
|-
||
|| Let us see the width specifications in detail.
|-
|| Comment the line 35

Uncomment the line 36

Run the code and show the output
|| Comment line 35.

Uncomment line 36.

Run the code

Here is the output of the code.

We see some white space to the right of the second figure.
|-
|| '''Highlight:'''

'''line 36, 39'''
|| Here the width of the actual figure '''(.6\textwidth) '''is much smaller than the allotted wrapfigure width '''(.8\textwidth)'''.

So, we see the white space
|-
|| Comment the line 36

Uncomment the line 37

Run the code and show the output
|| Comment the line 36

Uncomment line 37.

Run the code.

Output shows, figure''' '''is''' '''overwritten by text.
|-
|| '''Highlight:'''

'''line 37, 39'''

click the typeset button and show the output
|| Here the width of the actual figure '''(.6\textwidth) '''is bigger than the allotted '''wrap figure''' width '''(.4\textwidth)'''.

So we get the undesirable output.

It is important to allocate proper space for wrapping based on the figure’s width.
|-
|| '''Slide 6'''

'''Summary'''

In this tutorial, we have learnt how to:
* Use the wrapfig package
* Write the syntax and set placement in wrapfigure
* Adjust the width and spacing between the image and text
|| With this we come to the end of this tutorial.

Let us summarise.
|-
|| '''Slide 7'''

'''Assignment'''
|| As an '''Assignment'''
* Insert an image on the right side with a specified width and
* Wrap the text around it.
|-
|| '''Slide 8'''

'''Thank you'''
|| Thank you for joining
