Latex wrapfigure

Question

I have two problems and one additional question.

First problem

The figure wrapping does not work well, the text top and the top of the figure does not align perfectly, there is one extra line. How could could I prevent this?

Second problem

As you can see on the second page, there is gap in the text, I do not want it.

Addition question

Is there a way that, the latex recognize, there is not enough space for the picture, than the figure and the text will start at the top of the page.

Addition information

As you can see, I am using scale=0.35, because there are more than one figure and I want to keep the same scale on each figure and each figure have different width and height.

begin{wrapfigure}{l}{\wd0} makes the cut in as wide as box0 but you have not set box 0 so this is a completely arbitrary value???? — David Carlisle, Dec 21 '22 at 12:18
If I only use \begin{wrapfigure}{l}, the I cannot use \centering, and if I do not use \centering then the figure does not appear on the screen. — mala97, Dec 21 '22 at 12:22
the width option is mandatory you can not omit it. I guess you want {0pt} which is a special value to mean "as wide as the figure" You get that accidentally here as box0 happens to be empty in this example so \wd0 is 0pt — David Carlisle, Dec 21 '22 at 12:26
The additonal question is addressed by the L and R options (see page 2), but instead of moving to the top of the page, it moves to the start of the next paragraph. It is posible to insert wrapfigure into the middle of a paragraph, but the manual positioning is tricky. — John Kormylo, Dec 21 '22 at 17:38
@JohnKormylo The top means, move to the next page, so basically \newpage command. But the figure should be on the left part of the page. — mala97, Dec 21 '22 at 18:06

\intextsep is a vertical space added before and after a float. To align the top line of the paragraph with the wrapped figure, it is possible to set it to 0pt using \setlength{\intextsep}{0pt}. However, to affect only wrapped figures, it is only added to the beginning of the wrapfigure environment.

The second required parameter is the width of the figure. When specifying a width of zero (0pt), the actual width of the figure will be used as the wrapper width.

Second time you forget to add wrapfigure. But the code does not solve the Second problem. If I copy and paste the your code, and the scale become 0.45, then the second problem occures — mala97, Dec 21 '22 at 13:22
@mala97 Corrected! Thank you for your feedback. In specific cases you can use the first optional parameter (number of narrows lines) \begin{wrapfigure}[9]{l}{0pt} in the second figure when scale = 0.45. — Simon Dispa, Dec 21 '22 at 13:29
Is there a way to solve my Addition question? Or I just have to add \newpage every single time? — mala97, Dec 21 '22 at 13:40
@mala97 I don't know of any automatic solution. (There are many manual adjustments that are made to a final version of a document. Even rewrite paragraphs.) — Simon Dispa, Dec 21 '22 at 13:51

This shows how to use \needspace. The trick is to measure the height needed first.

Actually, one should use a named savebox instead of box 0 unless you are inside a group. It should be okay, but every once in a while it isn't.

It ocurred to me that one could use \parshape and \afterpage to add a wrapped image at the top of the page. It even uses wrapfigure if the image will fit on this page, or if the image stretches beyond the first paragraph. However, it must be used with only one paragraph left on the page.

The tricky bit was getting \parshape and wrapfigure to work from inside another environment.

Cool solution, but I have found maybe the best one: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/515781/287023, we should also add the following (one extra line at the top) \BeforeBeginEnvironment{wrapfigure}{\setlength{\intextsep}{0pt}} — mala97, Dec 31 '22 at 13:24
Mine (second solution) doesn't leave a gap at the bottom of the page. But you will also need \BeforeBeginEnvironment{wrappage}{\setlength{\intextsep}{0pt}} which also uses \intextsep. — John Kormylo, Dec 31 '22 at 15:36
