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.
