Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Automatically detecting wrapfigure width?

[crispy_chunks]

Hi, for the concern of my reader I will wrap some pictures in my text with \wrapfigure. Typically the code for this would looke like:

Code: Select all

\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{5cm}
 \centering
 \includegraphics[scale=\highresscaledown,keepaspectratio=true]{../Images/(E)-3-methyl-4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazole.png}
 % (E)-3-methyl-4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazole.png: 2069x1101 pixel, 96dpi, 54.74x29.13 cm, bb=0 0 1552 826
\end{wrapfigure}

Now the problem is I will have, maybe 30 of these wrapped pictures, and I need them to scale the same way. I can easily define the scale for \includegraphics to use (so I can control the scale of all the pictures at once.), but I would like wrapfigure to also allocate enough space in the text for the picture bases on this scale. The pictures will have variable length. Is there a way for wrapfigure to automatically detect how much space it needs to allocate for the wrapped picture? I have experimented with the calc package and \setlength but have not come up with a solution.

I don't have much time right now, but I think you should be able to do what you want with a savebox. See http://lglinux.blogspot.com/2008/01/mea ... vebox.html. Good luck.
