Is anyone able to make use of floatflt in lyx 1.2.0 to place an image/figure
in the midst of a paragraph and have the text flow around it?
textxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx-------------
xxxxxxxxxxx| |
xxxxxxxxxxx| figure |
xxxxxxxxxxx| |
xxxxxxxxxxx-------------
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I tried following the instructions in the Extended lyx documentation but it
didn't/doesn't work. I added "\usepackage{floatflt}" in the document's
preamble and then followed the instructions to the letter:
textxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxERT: \begin{floatingfigure} [r]{3cm}
<inserted figure (postscript figure image)>
ERT:\end{floatingfigure}xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When I do a view -> postscript, I see the other images in the document (not
floatingfigure, just normal inserts or floats) but the floatingfigure doesn't
show up. Instead, there is a blank line between the first ERT and the ending
ERT. The image does show up in lyx.
I want/need to know how to get this working for future use. I was on a tight
schedule to get a grant out and had to ditch lyx and use StarOffice to write
it because of the inability to flow text around an image. I would greatly
appreciate instructions or pointers on getting it working with lyx.
