In my experience, warp floats are very difficult to work with, since the algorithm almost always fails when the figure+caption is relatively large wrt to the page. The hints described in the manual Uwe points at work to a certain degree, but are far from guaranteeing correct placement. At any rate, they should only be used on the very last draft, when no more text editing is going to happen. To make matters worse, the algorithm may end up placing part of the float *on top* of regulat text, thus making it unreadable. My current method is to use regular floats up until the end, and then convert them to wrap floats before the final print/pdf generation. This process would be much easier if LyX offered a facilty to convert figure floats to wrap float, instead of requiring manual conversion. I am not sure it it would be easy, or even possible, but it would be a grealy welcome feature.

Floating wrapper figure with image drawn out of page
I'm usiing Lyx 1.6.2 under Macosx to put a floating wrapped figure with a .tiff image inside a framed box. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the image is being placed near the bottom of the page so that it is half drawn outside, and the next page also contains the space reserved for the float, but with no image. Difficult to explain, so here's the test case and generated pdf: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/145894/floating.lyx http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/145894/floating.pdf Any ideas on what could I do?
