[Tex/LaTex] Wrapfig doesn’t detect new page

wrapfigure

MWE:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{mwe}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\blindtext \blindtext \blindtext \blindtext 

\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0.5\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[height=150pt,width=0.5\textwidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{A caption}
\end{wrapfigure}

\blindtext 

\end{document}

PICTURE

I want wrapfig do detect new page and start the text from the left margin of the page. Instead, the margin is such like the figure was still there

I would prefer an automated solution, as not to manually specify the number of narrow lines using the optional argument of wrapfig. I frequently change the text before the wrapfig.

Best Answer

Use package needspace and then:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{mwe}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{needspace}

\begin{document}

\blindtext \blindtext \blindtext \blindtext 

\Needspace{150pt}%% Same as image height 
\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0.5\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[height=150pt,width=0.5\textwidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{A caption}
\end{wrapfigure}
\blindtext 

\end{document}

I used only the image height for \needspace. In reality it should include the caption height.

[Tex/LaTex] Text not spanning full page after wraptable

wrapfigure/wraptable works inside section* also. But one should note the following from wrapfig manual` enter image description here

Hence you should add enough text just below the wraptable environment.

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{wrapfig,lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{wraptable}{r}{5cm}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
    \hline
    $i$ & $NW_{i1}$ & $NW_{i2}$ & $NW_{i3}$ \\\hline\hline
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\\hline
    1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\\hline

  \end{tabular}
  \caption{Some table}
\end{wraptable}
\lipsum[4-5]

\section*{A section}
\subsection*{subsections are nice}
Some text.

\begin{wraptable}[13]{r}{5cm}

  \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}

    111 & 01001 \\\hline
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{table two}
\end{wraptable}
\lipsum[1-2]


\subsection*{the next subsection}
text. 

\begin{wraptable}[7]{r}{8cm}
  \centering
  %\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.3}% (MyValue=1.0 is for standard spacing)
  \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
    \hline
    $w$ & $A(w)$ \\\hline\hline
    0 & $\frac{0}{8}$ \\\hline
    1 & $\frac{4}{8}$ \\\hline

  \end{tabular}
  \caption{table 3}
\end{wraptable}
\lipsum[3-4]

[Tex/LaTex] How to correctly use geometry package with wrapfig package to avoid wrong layout

Don't

use capital letters (like R) for float specifiers. Capital letters mean the figure can float.
don't use a group to wrap the wrapfigure environment.

Do

put sufficient text in the paragraph following wrapfigure.
specify the number of lines to be cut (so as to accomodate wrapfigure) as tols by olga.saucedo.

Here is the commented code.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[margin={2.2cm}]{geometry}%
\usepackage{wrapfig, blindtext}

\begin{document}
\section{The problem}
\begin{wrapfigure}[12]{r}{0.3\textwidth}
\centering
\rule{0.9\linewidth}{0.75\linewidth}
\caption{\label{fig:d1}Integrating a function}
\end{wrapfigure}

To find a numerical value for the integral of a real valued function of a real
variable over a specific range over the real line. This means to
evaluate
\[
I={\displaystyle\int\limits_{a}^{b}}f\left(  x\right)  \ dx
\]
Geometrically, this integral represents the area under $f(x)$
from $a$ to $b$.%

We can always approximate the area by dividing it in equal width strips and
then sum the areas of all the strips.
