How do I put an image next to the text?

Post by joeschmidt »

Right now I have this list:

AB = 1991

BC = 67

CD = 1984 Image goes here

DE = 49

EF = x

FA = y

I am aiming to put the image
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{challenge3.png}
right next to the large blank space to the right of this list, because right now wherever I put this line for the graphics, it move down the rest of the text, like if I put it after BC = 67, it will create a huge space between BC = 67 and CD = 1984 where the image is, and I don't want that. Thanks!

Put the \includegraphics command inside a \smash command, then it is treated like a zero-height object:

Code: Select all

\smash{\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{challenge3.png}}
Another possibility would be setting the bounding box in the \includegraphics command, please read the grfguide document to find out how to do this.
