How to use it

The Floating Figures style option is fully compatible with L^ATEX's standard figure facility:

Floating Figures and standard figures may be requested in any sequence,
Floating Figures can be captioned like standard figures,
captioned Floating Figures are inserted in the list of figures which may be printed by the standard \listoffigures command.

A Floating Figure may be requested as follows:

   \documentstyle[floatfig]{article}
   \begin{document}
   \initfloatingfigs
           .
           .
   \begin{floatingfigure}{5.6cm}
   \vspace{6.cm}
   \caption{Intermolecular potential K-Xe}% optional !
   \end{floatingfigure}
           .
           .
   \end{document}

where 5.6cm specifies the width of the figure space. A Floating Figure may only be requested in vertical mode, that is between paragraphs.

A Floating Figure will be set as soon as possible after its request has be encountered by TEX. That means, it will be tested if there is enough vertical space on the current page; otherwise the figure moves to the next page.

Floating Figures are set alternating, that is on the right hand side on odd and on the left hand side on even numbered pages.
