i've recently switched from fop to itext on a project i'm working on 
because i needed to get text to wrap around an image.  i've managed to get 
the text wrapping without a problem, but I've run into a bit of a problem 
with image alignment.

this is bascially the code i am using now:

image1.setAlignment(Image.RIGHT | Image.TEXTWRAP);
image2.setAlignment(Image.RIGHT | Image.TEXTWRAP);
document.add(image1);
document.add(image2);
document.add(a whole bunch of text as a Paragraph);

now what i get looks like:

texttexttext+---++---+
texttexttext|   ||   |
texttexttext| 2 ||   |
texttexttext|   || 1 |
texttexttext+---+|   |
texttexttext     |   |
texttexttext     +---+
texttexttexttexttextte
texttexttexttexttextte

in case my ascii art gets jumbled, image 1 is on the left hand edge
of the page, image 2 is to the left of image1, and the text wraps
around a rectangle which is this big:
 image1.width+image2.width X max(image1.height,image2.height)


what i want, and what i thought was the intuitive meaning of the the
image alignment, would be this:

texttexttexttext+---+
texttexttexttext|   |
texttexttexttext|   |
texttexttexttext| 1 |
texttexttexttext|   |
texttexttexttext|   |
texttexttexttext+---+
texttexttexttext+---+
texttexttexttext|   |
texttexttexttext| 2 |
texttexttexttext|   |
texttexttexttext+---+

where each image is aligned with the left edge of the page.

Suggestions as to an easy way to accomplish this(i.e.
without resorting to absolute positioning)?
