Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to wrap a tikz picture?

[drowsy]

Hi,

how can I wrap my text around a tikz picture?

The picture is a tall and narrow diagram column.

I tried wrapfig and floatflt, but they produce compilation errors.

Please build a minimal working example (MWE) to show this undesired behaviour. Attach the log file if necessary. To simplify this task, you can replace your picture by drawing a grid.

Code: Select all

\draw[style=help lines] (-3,-10) grid (3,10);

Longer text passages can be generated with the blindtext package.


Best regards

Well, wrapfig compiles, but it says:

\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{10cm}
\begin{tikzpicture}

Package wrapfig Warning: wrapfigure used inside a conflicting environment on in
put line 8.


Package wrapfig Warning: Stationary wrapfigure forced to float on input line 34
.

Basically, it moves the picture like 14 pages later.

I will produce a MWE, but the document is very large, so it takes time to make it minimal.

In the meantime, can you tell me what works for you?
This might help faster and better then requesting MWEs...

ok, the problem was that I put it inside a very long definition
environment and did not notice that.

In your initial post you talked about errors. But these messages are (only) warnings.

[...] In the meantime, can you tell me what works for you?

A MWE should always show what you are doing wrong and not what is working for me. Another point is that I'm not intended to give a solution immediately. It would have no learning effect. Nevertheless you get my MWE with wrapfig.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\parindent0em

\begin{document}
  \begin{wrapfigure}{r}{7cm}
    \centering
    \begin{tikzpicture}
      \draw[style=help lines] (-3,-8) grid (3,8);
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \caption{Tall and narrow figure}\label{fig:tnfigure}
  \end{wrapfigure}
  \blindtext[4]
\end{document}

The dimensions of the picture can of course be adapted.

In your initial post you talked about errors.

I did, but the very first sentence was asking for an example.

Anyway, thank you. Problem solved

[...] the very first sentence was asking for an example [...]

But you also talked about compilation and your own efforts. And I'm still interested in these efforts in the sense of a MWE.

Huh? See my earlier post, the problem was that I had a loooong
definition(did not notice it) and a float inside.
