[Tex/LaTex] Aligning graphics within wrapfigure

graphicsvertical alignmentwrapfigure

I'm trying to create a biography section for a list of authors am crammed for space. So when declaring the wrapfigure to provided text wrapping around each author's tessellated bio photo, I need to reduce the number of lines wrapped.

Here is a minimal example:

\documentclass[english]{article}

\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[pangram]{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\section*{Biography}

\begin{wrapfigure}[5]{L}{25mm}
    \includegraphics[width=25mm,height=25mm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}
\end{wrapfigure}
\textbf{Author Alpha} \Blindtext[1][13]

\begin{wrapfigure}[5]{R}{25mm}
    \includegraphics[width=25mm,height=25mm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}
\end{wrapfigure}
\textbf{Author Beta} \Blindtext[1][13]

\begin{wrapfigure}[5]{L}{25mm}
    \includegraphics[width=25mm,height=25mm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}
\end{wrapfigure}
\textbf{Author Gamma} \Blindtext[1][13]

\begin{wrapfigure}[5]{R}{25mm}
    \includegraphics[width=25mm,height=25mm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}
\end{wrapfigure}
\textbf{Author Delta} \Blindtext[1][13]

\end{document}

However it appears that the author images are not centered with the text wrap boundary. I would like to align the images at the top of the boundary to make the word wrapping as tight as possible.

As there are not floats, I suggest you the set of plain TeX macros provided by insbox, which does a better job in this case. It defines a \InsertBoxL{number of non-shortened lines at the beginning of the paragraph}{object inserted}[optional: number of supplementary shortened lines (in case TeX makes a wrong calculation of necessary sorter lines)] command, and a similar \InsertBoxR. I added an example code to fine-tune the vertical position of the inserted graphics, playing with the optional arguments of \raisebox:

\documentclass[english]{article}

\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[pangram]{blindtext}
\input{insbox}

\begin{document}
\section*{Biography}

\InsertBoxL{0}{\includegraphics[width=25mm,height=25mm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}}[-1]
\textbf{Author Alpha} \Blindtext[1][13]

\InsertBoxR{0}{\raisebox{0pt}[17.9mm]{\includegraphics[width=25mm,height=25mm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}}}[-1]
\textbf{Author Beta} \Blindtext[1][13]

\InsertBoxL{0}{\includegraphics[width=25mm,height=25mm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}}[-1]
\textbf{Author Gamma} \Blindtext[1][13]

\InsertBoxR{0}{\includegraphics[width=25mm,height=25mm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}}[-1]
\textbf{Author Delta} \Blindtext[1][13]

\end{document}

You have to carefully adjust the dimensions of your image and the number of lines the wrap figure will extend ( for example [10] in \begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{5.5cm}).

An example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,wrapfig,lipsum}
%------------------------------------------
\begin{document}
This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may
embed tabular environment inside wraptable environment and customize as you like.
%------------------------------------------
\begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{5.5cm}
\rule{5.5cm}{7.1cm}
\caption{A wrapped figure}\label{wrap-fig:1}
\end{wrapfigure}
%------------------------------------------
This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may
embed tabular environment inside wraptable environment and customize as you like. This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may

%
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{minipage}{6cm}
\centering
\rule{\textwidth}{3cm}
\caption{my figure}\label{fig:2}
\end{minipage}%
\end{figure}%

\lipsum[2-3]

Figure~\ref{wrap-fig:1} is a wrapped figure.

One possibility would be to move the minipage inside the parts environment, and ending it as soon as enough material has been wrapped, as the following example illustrates:

\documentclass{exam}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\begin{questions}
\question Answer all parts below: 

\begin{parts}
\begin{minipage}{\linewidth} 
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{9cm}
\hfill
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{./20x20grid-axes.png}
\end{wrapfigure}
\part[1] 1 + 1 = \answerline

\fullwidth{\begin{solution}\begin{align*} \boxed{ 2 } \end{align*}\end{solution}}

\part[1] 2 + 2 = \answerline

\fullwidth{\begin{solution}\begin{align*} \boxed{ 4 } \end{align*}\end{solution}}

\part[1] 3 + 3 = \answerline

\fullwidth{\begin{solution}\begin{align*} \boxed{ 4 } \end{align*}\end{solution}}
\end{minipage}

\part[1] 3 + 6 = \answerline

\fullwidth{\begin{solution}\begin{align*} \boxed{ 6 } \end{align*}\end{solution}}

\end{parts}
\end{questions}

\end{document}

The demo option for graphicx simply replaces actual figures with black rectangles; do not use that option in your actual document.
