Hi all,
I've inserted a figure into a document I'm working on, but I can't seem to get the words to wrap around the figure. I have a large white spot on the left side of the page, that's just begging for some text. I've looked in the two guides I have and neither say anything about this can anyone help? I'm using the following bit to add the figure.
Code: 
\begin{figure}[h]
\captionstyle{flushleft} \onelinecaptionsfalse
\includegraphics[width=2.5in,height=2.5in]{stru.eps}
\caption{xxxx structure.} \label{fig:xxx}
\end{figure}

Thanks

1. How can I wrap my figures in LaTeX to make them more visually appealing?

One effective way to wrap figures in LaTeX is by using the float package and the \begin{figure}[h] command. This will allow the figure to float to the top of the page and avoid interrupting the flow of text. You can also use the wrapfigure package to wrap the figure in a specific location within the text.

2. What is the best way to make sure my figures are properly aligned with the rest of my document in LaTeX?

To ensure proper alignment of figures in LaTeX, it is important to use the correct placement options such as [htbp] after the \begin{figure} command. This will allow LaTeX to place the figure in the desired location according to its rules and guidelines. You can also use the \centering command before the \includegraphics command to center the figure in the document.

3. How can I resize my figures in LaTeX without losing image quality?

To resize figures in LaTeX without losing image quality, it is recommended to use the \includegraphics command from the graphicx package. This command allows you to specify the width or height of the figure, while maintaining its aspect ratio. You can also use the \scalebox command to resize the figure by a specific factor.

4. Is there a way to wrap multiple figures together in LaTeX?

Yes, you can wrap multiple figures together in LaTeX using the subcaption package. This will allow you to create subfigures with individual captions and a main caption for the entire group. You can also use the minipage environment to wrap figures side by side within a larger figure.

5. Can I add a border or frame around my figures in LaTeX?

Yes, you can add a border or frame around your figures in LaTeX using the TikZ package. This package allows you to create custom frames and borders for your figures, as well as add labels, arrows, and other visual elements. You can also use the \fbox command to add a simple border around your figure.
