Re: Wrapping text around an image

Uwe,
Thank you for the quick response.

The wrapping I have been able to achieve is more like column splitting.  I 
would like to have a warning sign or note icon and actually wrap around the 
image meaning it goes under the image too.  To clarify, the image in question 
is neither a figure nor a table and should not be indexed as either.

Hi,

If you follow the procedure given in the documentation pointed by Uwe, 
you should get what you want (see attached screenshot of a pdf in Adobe 
reader). This is a result with 1.6.6 on WinXP.

If you still cannot, start from a new file (no special preamble) to see 
if the failure comes from some incompatibilities.

Note that you may have to set both the float and the picture sizes.

Best regards,

Olivier



I was able to achieve

      the image with no 
      figure or table label.

And

text 
that

What I really want is my note or warning in a box, but I think I can manage 
that part.

The best documentation I found so far was

http://www.mackichan.com/index.html?techtalk/414.htm~mainFrame

but I can't seem to get it to work quite right.


My image is 62px x 62px.  I would like to have some padding around it and just 
wrap around that.  Any chance you can send me an example doing something like 
this?


Thank you,

Vlad

When I used the floating figure, the image was centered which was not
the style I was looking for.
When I used the \begin{wrapfigure} LaTex directive all the text was
placed under the image (sized to the image) instead of wrapping around.

Has anyone figured out how to do this?
Have a look at sec. 3.2.2 "Wrap Floats" of the EmbeddedObjects manual
that you find in LyX's help menu. It is also described in the LyX
Userguide, sec. 4.6.1.4 Wrap Floats.
