I am trying to use wrapfigure to place a figure within my document and I have noticed something odd occurring.

Code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,tikz,wrapfig}
\begin{document}    
\begin{wrapfigure}[9]{r}{4cm}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \fill (0, 0) rectangle (4, 4);
    \end{tikzpicture}   
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\vspace{5mm}
\begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{4cm}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \fill (0, 0) rectangle (4, 4);
    \end{tikzpicture}   
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

Output:

The first figure wraps correctly and as expected, however the second figure seems to have dropped down by a line. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

  • Here, the problem disappears if there is text before the first figure. – Denis Jan 06 '16 at 14:15
  • @Denis If there is text before the first figure then both are dropped down by 1 line, is there anyway to fix this without manually modifying the \vspace? – user2850514 Jan 06 '16 at 14:45
  • You are completely right. I was only suggesting this to obtain an even look. – Denis Jan 06 '16 at 14:53

The output is precisely what's expected, at least judging from the code.

You can remove the space by setting \intextsep:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,tikz,wrapfig}

\setlength\intextsep{0pt}

\begin{document}    

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{4cm}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \fill (0, 0) rectangle (4, 4);
    \end{tikzpicture}   
\end{wrapfigure}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{4cm}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \fill (0, 0) rectangle (4, 4);
    \end{tikzpicture}   
\end{wrapfigure}

\vspace{5mm}
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{document}

  • What's the default value? Can we add or remove from it? – khatchad Apr 04 '18 at 17:15
  • @RaffiKhatchadourian It's a LaTeX parameter, so setting it might have adverse effects for other floats. Its default value is 12pt plus 2pt minus 2pt. – egreg Apr 04 '18 at 17:19

A quick fix for this would be to use the \vspace{-fontsize} command to jump up by one line (change fontsize to the font size you are using).

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,tikz,wrapfig}
\begin{document}    
\begin{wrapfigure}[9]{r}{4cm}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \fill (0, 0) rectangle (4, 4);
    \end{tikzpicture}   
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\vspace{5mm}
\begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{4cm}
    \vspace{-11pt}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \fill (0, 0) rectangle (4, 4);
    \end{tikzpicture}   
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

Output

With:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,tikz,wrapfig}

\begin{document}
\mbox{}

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{4cm}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \fill (0, 0) rectangle (4, 4);
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]

\vspace{2mm}

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{4cm}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \fill (0, 0) rectangle (4, 4);
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

I am getting the following output that is visually correct: enter image description here
