force a figure to be in a certain section when using wrapfigure (again)
Jason Lewis
Further to my last post regarding layout with wrapfigure. I have put together
an example document of the kind of problem I am encountering. There are three
subsections. The first one illustrates what I want, and the second two
illustrate how wrapfig is not acheiving it. This may well be because I am
using wrapfig outside its designed limits.
Anyway, the basic idea is that I want each subsection to have an image in the
right hand side of it. I ALWAYS want the image in that place and if the image
is too tall for the section, i'd like the section have a blank horizontal gap
after it.
I'm open to any suggestions that may help me achieve this.
Thanks... here is my sample latex. Sorry about the wrapping. Not sure how to
counter that. I can email a .gz or something if anyone wants.
Thanks.

Not using the \wrapfill that I posted yesterday :-(
Donald Arseneau as...@triumf.ca
Jason Lewis
I'll give that a go, sorry. I overlooked it with all the dissapointment of my
first post being utterly unreadable :(
How do I use it by the way?

Put \wrapfill before \section
You could put it into the \section command.
Donald Arseneau as...@triumf.ca
Jason Lewis
I worked out how to use it, and it kind of solves the problem but leaves a
large blank strip under the section. Try it with the code I posted before and
you'll see what I mean.
Thanks,

I have experimented a bit with your macro, and it does work very nicely with
large paragraphs of text. but it falls down as soon as there is a 1 line
paragraph followed by a longtable. It sticks too much vertical space at the
end if the wrapfill command or something. I can send you an example to
illustrate if you like.
Any ideas how I could minimize that?
BTW, I didn't realise you wrote wrapfigure. Its great. Thanks.

Donnald recommended I use this macro to solve my problem:
\makeatletter
\def\wrapfill{\par
\ifx\parshape\WF@fudgeparshape
\nobreak
\ifnum\c@WF@wrappedlines>\@ne
\advance\c@WF@wrappedlines\m@ne
\vskip\c@WF@wrappedlines\baselineskip
\global\c@WF@wrappedlines\z@
\fi
\allowbreak
\WF@finale
\fi
}
\makeatother
Which works pretty well but I found would leave large gaps after the
\wrapfill command when wrapping happened around a longtable.
Mitchell from #latex on irc.freenode.net suggested removing the \vskip
from the macro. That pretty much has solved the problem except for
images close together now run into each other a little.

The \wrapfill works fine. It is the calculation of the "number of
wrapped lines" that is wrong: A tabular environment counts as one
line even when it occupies 10 lines of space. The wrapfigure
documentation explains this, and suggests what to do. Try it with
more text after the table instead of \wrapfill -- you will see the
same excess space.
I don't really expect longtable to act sanely in wrapping text!

That's nonsense. The \vskip is the entire point of the macro!
You'r generating the document from a database, right? Is there
ever any text below the table, and do you ever want it to take
up the full line width? If not, then don't use wrapfigure! Use
a tabular environment, or even a \leftline, containing a
tabular env in one column, and the figure in another column.
If you really do want wrapping text (rather than side-by-side
columns) then have whatever program generates the document
insert a correction for the number of lines in the table.
Something like
...
\end{lontable}
% That table had 10 lines, so correction is 9
\addtocounter{WF@wrappedlines}{-9}

Yes, I am generating from a database. There is never text below the
table. it would be nice if the text above the table could take up the
whole line when the image is small. but, if thats too hard, I'm happy
for the lines not to ever fill up a whole line.
I have been trying various combinations of tabular, and long table. I
have not tried sticking the whole lot in a tabular yet. I will try that
now. I never thought of that before.

I'll try that too. I think though that your correct, and wrapfigure is
not what I'm after.
