I have a landscape book and I figured out that it would make sense to put figures on the side of pages as illustrated in the following image:

enter image description here

I know that there are wrap figures, but as far as I know, they are positioned relative to a paragraph, and I want to have a dedicated area on the side of a page.

    the nearest latex offers by default is \marginpar – David Carlisle Oct 27 '17 at 21:37

    Maybe have a look at the flowfram package. – Michael Palmer Oct 28 '17 at 00:50
  • @MichaelPalmer but as far as I can tell, flowfram redefines many things such as figures, tables, chapters. That’s a bit unfortunate because I already have all the things defined for the book – Uko Oct 28 '17 at 08:12
  • You illustration suggests that you are looking for an automatic way to change the width of the text block for each page. I don't see how you can achieve this within book. (And to be honest it doesn't seem straightforward with flowfram either.) Maybe some advanced luatex wizardry could do it. – Michael Palmer Oct 28 '17 at 12:37
  • Even with flowfram you have a problem when a paragraph breaks between two columns with different widths. I suspect the only real solution is to manually break the paragraphs (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/163075/how-to-arrange-a-large-picture-on-the-side-on-the-current-page/163104?s=1|36.7830#163104) and use minipages. – John Kormylo Oct 28 '17 at 13:53
  • Actually, wrapfigure will do the job, but again, you have to insert it precisely where the paragraph breaks (and pad the figure to \textheight). – John Kormylo Oct 28 '17 at 14:06
