Type around a picture?

Hello,

I 'm new to Lyx & LaTeX.
I want to make a little book about my codesnippets in C++.

So at the left side of the screen, I put a snapshot of my code.
Then my explanation fills op the rest of the space at the right side and under the picture.

How is this done in Lyx?
Or Perhaps Someone knows a good template to do this?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi and welcome,

what you are asking for is wrapping text around a picture. Not a strength of LaTeX.
You can do it using packages denoted to this (wrapfig, floatflt) but all require manual work to make it nice.

On the other hand, how often have you seen text floating around pictures in serious textbooks in your field?
