%
% The standard \LaTeX\ floating environments, namely |figure|
% and |table|, allow user to place floating material in a
% document. But they do not introduce a style in which this
% material must be formatted. In this package, styles are
% joined with floats and mini-floats are introduced. Mini-floats
% are prepared at a mini-page and allow captions within.
% Basing on mini-floats, a number of service commands for
% figures and tables are defined. The ability to create
% other types of mini-floats is introduced with the
% |\newminifloat| command.
%
% \tableofcontents
%
% \section{Basic Commands}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\FloatStyle}
% The |\FloatStyle|\oarg{type}\marg{style} command sets a style for
% the float of the given \meta{type}. If the \meta{type} is omitted,
% the default style is specified. It will be applied to a float or
% mini-float if no specialized style was defined.
% This command is available in the preamble only.
%
% To specify the style of a mini-float and of service commands based on it,
% add the `|mini|' prefix to the float type. The default styles are
% \begin{quote}
%     |\FloatStyle{}|\\
%     |\FloatStyle[minifigure]{\footnotesize\centering}|\\
%     |\FloatStyle[minitable]{\footnotesize\centering}|
% \end{quote}
% This means that the formatting of floats prepared with standard
% |figure| and |table| environments does not changed, but service
% commands based on mini-figures and mini-tables use a special
% formatting with |\footnotesize| font and the centered alignment.
%
% \DescribeMacro\normalfloatstyle
% This command is applied inside floats or mini-floats to reset
% formatting style of subsequent floating material to the standard
% formatting with paragraph alignment and the normal font of
% normal size.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\minifig}
% \DescribeMacro{\minitabl}
% We start with the basic commands, namely |\minifig| and
% |\minitabl|. They prepare a material in a mini-page and allow
% using the |\caption| command in the body. Their syntax is
% similar to the |\parbox| command:
% \begin{quote}
% |\minifig |\oarg{pos}\oarg{height}\oarg{inner-pos}\marg{width}\marg{body}\\
% |\minitabl|\oarg{pos}\oarg{height}\oarg{inner-pos}\marg{width}\marg{body}
% \end{quote}
% The \meta{pos} is a vertical alignment parameter for
% mini-page (|t|, |b|, or |c|) with respect to
% surrounding text; the \meta{height} is a mini-page height
% required; the \meta{inner-pos} is a vertical alignment
% of text inside the mini-page (|t|, |b|, |c|, or |s|);
% and the \meta{width} is the mini-page width.
% The \meta{body} is prepared in the style specified by the
% |\FloatingStyle| command and can contain the |\caption| command inside.
%
% All other floating extension commands are based on
% these two commands.
%
% \section{Side Figures and Tables}
%
% For small figures and tables, it is preferable to insert them
% inside a text instead of using floating mechanism. The
% typographic rules usually require an illustrative material to
% occupy an outer side of page. In two-side mode, this means
% figure and tables should be on the right side if a page number is
% odd and on the left side if page number is even. In one-side
% mode, figures and tables must occupy the right side of page.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\sidefig}
% \DescribeMacro{\sidetabl}
% The following commands support such a placement:
% \begin{quote}
% |\sidefig|\oarg{pos}|(|$w_1$|)(|$w_2$|)|\marg{figure}\marg{text}\\
% |\sidefig*|\oarg{pos}|(|$w_1$|)(|$w_2$|)|\marg{figure}\marg{text}\\
% |\sidetabl|\oarg{pos}|(|$w_1$|)(|$w_2$|)|\marg{table}\marg{text}\\
% |\sidetabl*|\oarg{pos}|(|$w_1$|)(|$w_2$|)|\marg{table}\marg{text}
% \end{quote}
% We use the term \textit{mini-float} for the
% small illustrating material (figure or table), however
% taking into account that it is not a float at all. It is inserted in
% the main flow next to a paragraph box specified in the last
% parameter of above described commands.
%
% The no-star forms of above described commands place a mini-float
% next to the specified text on the outer side of page (to the
% right for odd page and to the left for even page). In two-column
% or one-side mode, mini-float is always posed to the right. The
% star-forms provide the reverse placement. By default, mini-float
% is vertically centered with respect to the text and the
% |\strut| command is inserted at the beginning and at the end
% of the \meta{text} to provide normal baseline
% distances of the first and last lines of the text from
% surrounding text lines.
%
% All parameters in square and round brackets are optional and mean
% the following:
% \begin{desclist}{}{}[\meta{pos}]
% \item[\meta{pos}] specifies mini-float alignment (|t|,
% |b|, or |c|; default is |c|) with respect to text
% box and can contain additional chars controlling the text body
% preparation: |j| means the last line of the text to be
% justified to the right and |n| means suppressing of struts
% insertion (they should be inserted manually if necessary);
%
% \item[$w_1$] is the width of mini-float; and
%
% \item[$w_2$] is the width of the text box.
% \end{desclist}
%
% You can omit units in the width parameters. In this case,
% the width value is considered as a multiple of |\unitlength|
% (similarly to the use of length dimensions in the picture environment).
%
% If both width parameters are absent, the width of both mini-float and
% text body is calculated as |(\linewidth-1.5em)/2|. If $w_2$ is absent,
% the text body width is calculated as |\linewidth-|$w_1$|-1.5em|.
%
% The placement of side-floats in the document consists in the following
% steps:
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item Decide where you want to insert a side-float;
% \item Insert a |\sidefig| or |\sidetabl| command after a word that finishes
%       the line before the supposed side-float position;
% \item Specify a width of float in its parameter and set the top alignment
%       as the \meta{pos} parameter (e.g.\ |\sidefig[t](|$w_1$|)|);
% \item Prepare the side-float in the first mandatory parameter of the command
%       (e.g.\ |\sidefig[t](|$w_1$|)|\marg{figure});
% \item Enclose enough text going after the command in braces;
% \item Translate the document;
% \item Find what part of the text is redundant in the \meta{text} parameter;
% \item Move it after the close brace;
% \item If the same paragraph continues after the close brace, add the |j|
%       letter to the \meta{pos} parameter. Also change the |t| alignment
%       to |c| alignment in the \meta{pos} parameter;
% \item Translate the document once more;
% \item If the side-float has a wrong placement (this can appear when paragraph
%       with a side-float begins at the end of page), insert the star after
%       the side-float command and translate the document once more.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ifleftsidefloat}
% While preparing a side-float, it is sometimes necessary to
% provide conditional placement depending on the side a mini-float
% is posed. The command
% \begin{quote}
% |\ifleftsidefloat|\marg{left-clause}\marg{right-clause}
% \end{quote}
% provides this. It is useful in parameters of |\sidefig| or
% |\sidetabl| and processes \meta{left-clause} if the
% mini-float is posed to the left and \meta{right-clause}
% otherwise.
%
% Side-floats can be also used within floating environments to pos
% a caption near a figure or table.
%
% \section{Floating Figures and Tables}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\fig}
% \DescribeMacro{\tabl}
% The following commands envelop floating
% environments:
% \begin{quote}
% |\fig|\oarg{placement}|(|$w$|)|\marg{body}\\
% |\fig*|\oarg{placement}|(|$w$|)|\marg{body}\\
% |\tabl|\oarg{placement}|(|$w$|)|\marg{body}\\
% |\tabl*|\oarg{placement}|(|$w$|)|\marg{body}
% \end{quote}
% The \meta{placement} is a float placement parameter
% describing places where a float can appear. The default value is
% |ht| (here or at the top of page).
% The optional $w$ parameter defines a
% width of box occupied by the float (the width of nested
% |\minifig| or |\minitabl|). If it
% is omitted, the float has the maximum width equal to the
% |\linewidth|.
%
% The |\fig| and |\tabl| commands envelop the |figure|
% and |table| environments respectively. Their star-forms
% envelop |figure*| or |table*| environments respectively.
%
% \section{Two Floating Figures or Tables Side by Side}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\figs}
% \DescribeMacro{\tabls}
% The following commands place two figures or tables side by side.
% \begin{quote}
% |\figs|\oarg{placement}|(|$w_1$|)(|$w_2$|)|\marg{body1}\marg{body2}\\
% |\figs*|\oarg{placement}|(|$w_1$|)(|$w_2$|)|\marg{body1}\marg{body2}\\
% |\tabls|\oarg{placement}|(|$w_1$|)(|$w_2$|)|\marg{body1}\marg{body2}\\
% |\tabls*|\oarg{placement}|(|$w_1$|)(|$w_2$|)|\marg{body1}\marg{body2}
% \end{quote}
% The \meta{body1} is a body of the left figure or table and
% the \meta{body2} is a body of the right figure or table.
% Other parameters are optional. The meaning and default value of
% the \meta{placement} parameter is the same as described
% above. The $w_1$ and $w_2$ parameters are
% widths of left and right boxes. If
% they both are omitted, the left and right boxes will have the
% width equal to |(\linewidth-1em)/2|. If $w_2$
% is omitted, the right box will occupy the rest of horizontal space
% minus |1em|. If both parameters are specified, the rest
% space is inserted between boxes. If the total width of left and
% right floats exceeds the |\linewidth|, the floats will overlap
% at the middle (a negative horizontal space is inserted between them).
%
% In the |\tabls| command, boxes of the left and right bodies are
% top-aligned, but, in the |\figs| command, the bottom alignment is
% used. The star-forms of this commands are based on the |figure*|
% or |table*| environments respectively.
%
% \section{Declare a Mini-float and Service Commands}
%
% \DescribeMacro\newminifloat
% If a new type of float is introduced, the respective mini-float
% and service commands can be helpful for it. To prepare them, use
% the following declaration:
% \begin{quote}
% |\newminifloat|\marg{gen}\marg{type}\marg{placement}\marg{pos}
% \end{quote}
% Here \meta{gen} is a root for command names to be generated, \meta{type}
% is a float type, \meta{placement} is a default placement on the page,
% and \meta{pos} is a vertical alignment for pair of floats.
%
% This command declares 4 commands: |\mini|\meta{gen}, |\side|\meta{gen},
% |\|\meta{gen}, and |\|\meta{gen}|s|. For example, the commands
% described in previous sections are declared as follows:
% \begin{quote}
% |\newminifloat{fig}{figure}{ht}{b}|\\
% |\newminifloat{tabl}{table}{ht}{t}|
% \end{quote}
