Re: [NTG-context] placefigure[right] draws figures inside framed text (Willi Egger)

8 Jul 2009

      Hello Willi,

Thanks for your answer.
Your suggestion works ... if I would be free to choose the framed text to be 0.5
textwidth. However, the framed text is source code and I do need the entire textwidth
because otherwise I'm going to get line wraps and that'll make things look ugly.
I expected  placefigure[right] to be clever enough to see that there is no room
beside the framed text, and either place the figure above it or beneath it.
My current workaround is to put the placefigure[right] macro earlier in the flow
of text if possible, or use placefigure[force].

Regards,

Jos

Hi,

use \framedtext[width=.5\textwidth]{...}. Framed text breaks over the  
lines. Do not use a \vbox

Hello,
I'm using framed text to display verbatim sourse code. The frame  
should use
the entire textwidth, so I use width=broad.
A problem occurs when I use a figure placed at the right side of  
the page,
before a framed text section: the figure is drawn *inside* the frame.
With non-framed text everything works fine.
I include an example. It consists of a d.tex file and METAPOST file
a.mp. To reproduce the problem, first convert a.mp to a-1.pdf using
the mptopdf utility. Then texexec --pdf d.tex
