graphics
I would like to add a figure, but I would like to control both width and length of figure. I know to control length and width separately but not together. Could anyone let me know the command to do that.
I am using the following commands:
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[height=8cm]{Images/abc}
\caption{abc}
\label{fig:abc}
\end{figure}
Ignoring the question you are asking, there is a simple solution to your actual problem: \includegraphics has an optional argument keepaspectratio, that (quoting the manual),
if set to true then specifying both
widthandheight(ortotalheight) does not distort the figure but scales such that neither of the specified dimensions is exceeded.
Thus, you can simply write
\includegraphics[height=5cm,width=.5\textwidth,keepaspectratio]{some_image.jpg}
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}
%------------------------------------------

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.

Here you are:
And the result:
Be very careful! By defining both
heightandwidth, you will distort the aspect ratio of the images. See the manual of the graphics bundle for more details and how to avoid distortions. To avoid the distortion, you can use thekeepaspectratio-option, as presented in the last command.
