Attributes

float

If Float has the value 1 (true), then the processing system is free to move the figure to a convenient location. (Where convenient location may be described in the style sheet or may be application dependent.) A value of 0 (false) indicates that the figure should be placed precisely where it occurs in the flow.

label

Label specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes.

Generally, an explicit Label attribute is used only if the processing system is incapable of generating the label automatically. If present, the Label is normative; it will used even if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.

pgwide

If Pgwide has the value 0 (false), then the InformalFigure is rendered in the current text flow (with flow column width). A value of 1 (true) specifies that the figure should be rendered across the full text page.
