Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ inset ?

[tim4dev]

I am new to Latex.

Make-up a small book for themselves.

There are two questions (see the picture in attach):

1. What name is gray box ? I mean the name of "gray box" in the printing industry. Inset ?

2. How to do it ? To the text was located on the side (left or right) from the image.

Thanks.

Hi,

you could use the \fcolorbox command like here:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\fcolorbox{black}{gray}{
  \parbox[b]{6cm}{\blindtext}
  \ \includegraphics[height=7cm,width=4cm]{test}}
\end{document}

Thank you very much!

I found something else Vertical alignment of minipages

That's what happened:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!h] 
  \fcolorbox[gray]{0.92}{0.92}{
    \begin{minipage}[!t]{0.7\textwidth}
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting
 industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text
 ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type
 and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not
 only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting,
 remaining essentially unchanged...
    \end{minipage}
    \hspace{0.2cm}
    \begin{minipage}[!t]{0.4\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[height=7cm,width=5cm,keepaspectratio=true]{test}
      \caption{Shaft axis alignment}
      \label{fig:shaft_axis}
    \end{minipage}
  }
\end{figure}
