The main reason for me is the need of "embedded" graphics (I'm not sure about the technical term typographically. In german it is "eingespiegelte Bilder".) The task could be like: - typesetting a book on art history - 450 pages A4 - 150 pictures included - all pictures should be placed close to the first time they are mentioned in the text - the shouldn't be more than two pictures per page. We will have three possibilities: a) Some pictures are in landscape format - they can be set width to textwidth. b) Others are moderate portrait format - in this case the title/caption can be set next to it (right/left) and both together can be set width to textwidth as well. c) But others are extreme portrait format (maybe height to width four to one). They need to be included into the text (with text floating around at one side). As a) and b) are set either at the top or at the bottom of a page it is necessary that also the graphics of case c) can be set this way. So I need to set figures with the following options: - ability to float - placing option top/bottom of page - placing option left/right respectively inner/outer edge of page - can be set to whole textwidth - can be alternatively included into the text (but floating, not only into the paragraph were they are mentioned)). Which TeX mode (LaTeX/ConTeXt) or which additional package can do this job? Thank you, Steffen Wolfrum Berlin, 25. August 2003
