%\section{Introduction}
%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Sometimes it is necessary to insert in a given document very large
% images; either they are larger than a spread, or they do not exceed
% the width of a spread. In the first case it is necessary to use
% to large sheets of paper folded in the proper way and inserted in the
% printed document as special inserts; or for documents to be read on
% the screen such large sheets have to be attached to the document as
% separate files to be viewed in windows different from that where the
% document is being read. 
%
% In the other case it is possible to manage such large figures in
% different ways; we define a single command that, according to
% different settings, can insert such figures in eight different display
% modes.
%\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
% \item
% The normal \LaTeX\ kernel full page display mode, but setting the placement option to |[p]| to the figure environment. Apparently
% there is no need to define a new command for this display mode, except
% the advantage of using the same command as the other modes and a few
% small further functionalities provided by this the new command.
%\item
% The landscape display mode is available with the |lscape| package
% and other similar ones. Again this display mode appears superfluous,
% but the advantage is to use the same command as the other display modes.
%\item
% The screen-wide display mode, where two facing pages display a large
% figure divided in two halves, each one set in its page shifted to the
% spine so as to occupy on each page the text width plus the internal
% margin; with suitable aspect ratio, both facing pages are practically
% full. No other text appears  on the page with this display mode, except
% the caption in the right page external margin.
%\item
% The slim screen-wide image is similar to the previous mode, but since
% the figure is slim, it is set at the top of two facing pages, with text
% underneath; the caption is under the right figure half in the right
% page, and the left text block height is set so that that the first
% lines of both text blocks are aligned.
%\item
% The slim tall image is set to the side of the text block with text
% wrapping  it. Recurse is made either to the |wrapfig| package
% or the newer  |wrapfig2| one if the latter exists, therefore the
% software might sometimes hick-up a little bit, because of the
% idiosyncrasies of both |wrapfig| and |wrapfig2| that perform
% very well in most but not all circumstances; see that package
% documentation for such |wrapfig| and |wrapfig2|
% limitations. With one of these packages we limit the use of this
% display mode to images that have a “height over width” aspect ratio
% not lower than~2; we provide also some option arguments so as to correct
% small imperfections in the sizing of the text indention 
%\item
% A very large image, typically A3 sized, occupies a full spread
% including the lateral margins; it is a solution to inputting, for
% example, a line drawing of a technical device, that otherwise
% should be attached as a separate document; a very large table
% that does not fit the usual A4 paper and that cannot be split in chunks
% by means of |longtable|, and cannot be scaled down to unreadable font
% sizes.
%\item
% A rather tall not so slim image can be typeset in the total height
% mode; this height is the paper (trimmed page) height; the image
% appears in a textless page, shifted to the spine, taking into
% account if the page is an odd or even numbered one. The image
% is scaled so that leaves on it side the external margin plus a part
% of the text width, generally sufficient for a side caption; it reaches the
% top and the bottom limits of the trimmed page. Should this space
% be to narrow for a decently typeset caption, a warning
% message is issued but the compilation is not stopped. It is up
% to the user to control how bad is the caption typesetting and
% possibly to provide a different display mode in order to get a
% better result.
% \item 
% Anothe display mode, that we call Total Width
%\end{enumerate}
%
% In any case, depending on the page geometry and the image aspect
% ratio, it is very handy to have available a single command that
% changes the display mode by just changing a single input optional
% argument. In facts the user might start with one of the eight
% described display modes; after examining the document draft the
% user might chose another display mode, and it suffices to change
% the optional argument, without changing the whole code.
%
% \bigskip
%
% \noindent\fbox{\textcolor{red}{WARNING}}\quad This package performs
% as expected with documents typeset in \texttt{twoside} mode, and with
% a page design where the internal margins of both the odd and even pages
% are equal (symmetrical page design). For example, it does not work
% with this document designed to work in \texttt{oneside} mode and
% where the the left page margin is always larger than the right one
% of each page; this page design is functional to the documentation
% of the \TeX\ system software.
%
%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%\section{Installation}
%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% This package is already installed with any complete and up to date
% \TeX\ system distribution, \TeX\ Live or MiK\TeX.
%
% Should the user have available a basic or a partial \TeX\ system
% installation, the simplest way to install this package is to download
% the |swfigure.zip| file from the Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive Network
% (CTAN), to decompress it either in the very folder where there is
% the document main or single document file or, for a general use, in
% the user |texmf| personal tree; it might be necessary that the user
% should directly create this personal tree; how to do it is described
% in the documentation of the user \TeX\ system distribution.
%
% The same holds true if the user employs a vintage \TeX\ system
% distribution; this package requires the \LaTeX3 modern language
% functionalities, therefore a \LaTeX\ kernel with a date after
% 2019-01-01. Lacking this modern kernel, the package does not work,
% because packages |xparse| and |xfp| are used for its
% internal workings.
%
%
%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%\section{Usage}\label{sec:Usage}
%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% This package defines a single user command\slash environment,
% |DFimage|. The command is usable when the image fills up the page
% or the spread, so that it contains no text, except the caption; the
% environment is recommended when the large image is in a page or a
% spread that contains also some text.\\
% \fbox{\color{red} Warning!} This particular environment
% cannot be nested and cannot contain a |\DFimage| command.
%
% The syntax is the following:
%\begin{ttsyntax}
%\cs{DFimage}\oarg{display mode}\marg{image file name}\%
%\qquad \oarg{lof entry}\marg{caption}\oarg{label}\%
%\qquad\parg{height correction}\aarg{line correction}\barg{width test}!\meta{precaption}!
%\vspace{0.5\baselineskip}
%or
%\vspace{0.5\baselineskip}
% \Benv{DFimage}\oarg{display mode}\marg{image file name}\%
%\qquad \oarg{lof entry}\marg{caption}\oarg{label}\%
%\qquad\parg{height correction}\aarg{line correction}\barg{width test}!\meta{precaption}!
%\meta{environment textual contents}
%\Eenv{DFimage}
%\end{ttsyntax} 
% \noindent where:
%\begin{description}[noitemsep]
%
%\item[\meta{display mode}]
% is one of the following uppercase acronyms:
% \texttt{NF} (Normal Figure),  \texttt{RF} (Rotated Figure),
% \texttt{SW} (Spread Wide image), \texttt{HS} (Horizontal Spread-wide
% image), \texttt{VS} (Vertical Slim image), \texttt{FS}
% (Full Spread image), \texttt{TH} (Total Height image), and \texttt{TW} (Total Width image).
%
%\item[\meta{image file name}]
% is the name of the image graphic file; remember that the \LaTeX based
% \TeX\ system typesetting programs accept graphic files in the formats
% with extensions \texttt{.pdf}, \texttt{.eps}, \texttt{.jpg},
% \texttt{.png}, and few other less common ones. It is not necessary to
% specify the extension, but it is not forbidden.
%
%\item[\meta{lof entry}]
% is the optional entry to the List Of Figures; it defaults to the
% \meta{caption} text, but if the latter is sort of lengthy, it is
% better to enter a shorter text in that list.
%
%\item[\meta{caption}]
% is the caption text. Its number prefix is adapted to the main or the
% current language setting as it happens with any figure in standard
% \LaTeX.
%
%\item[\meta{label}]
% this optional argument is the string that forms the \cs{label} command
% argument; of course, if this argument is not specified, the figure
% number and its page cannot be referenced with \cs{ref}, \cs{pageref}
% and other similar commands.
%
%\item[\meta{height correction or color}]
% is a round parenthesis delimited optional argument; as a
% \emph{height correction} it is a fractional number lower than~1
% (default 0.8) with which to further scale the scaled image height
% to be included; it is used by some display modes, and it is ignored
% by others. In the total height mode, it can be used to scale the
% captions width.
%
%\item[\meta{line correction}] is an angle bracket delimited optional
% argument preset to zero. It is relevant only with the slim
% vertical image display mode. Sometimes the |wrapfig| package
% indents the wrapping text in such a way as to leave to much or too
% little vertical space around the image and its caption; by examining
% the document draft it is possible to correct the predetermined
% number of indented lines by increasing or decreasing the vertical
% space by any (integer) number of lines. With |wrapfig2| it is
% possible to use a final optional asterisk that changes the
% information relative to the number of indented lines into a
% correction of such number; its easier to count the missing or
% the extra indented lines, that the whole number of such lines.
%
%\item[\meta{width test}] this further vertical bar-delimited argument
% is used only when dealing with vertical slim images; when they are
% scaled down in order to fit in the available space, their width may
% become too small to allow a decently typeset caption below the
% image. A test is made to compare the scaled image width with a
% fraction of the text block width in order to skip the image insertion
% if the image width becomes too small; the default value for this
% \meta{width test} fraction is \texttt{0.25}, but the user can specify
% a different value, even zero; with the zero value this width test is
% skipped.
%
%\item[\meta{precaption}] is an optional color declaration delimited by
% exclamation points; the default value is ‘empty’; it is used only
% by the \texttt{FS} display mode in order to typeset a caption, for
% example, with a contrasting color over the background image average
% color, and/or with a displacement of the first or only caption line,
% and/or with a different font.
%
%\end{description}

%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \section{Display mode peculiarities}
%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Each of the listed display modes has its own pros and cons.
% In the following the phrase “aspect ratio” refers to the “height
% over width” ratio either of the image or of the available space
% where to put the image and possibly its caption.
%\begin{description}[noitemsep]
%
%\item[\texttt{NF}]
% This display mode is convenient when the image
% aspect ratio is close to the text block one. Of course the user
% does not know in advance the vertical space occupied by the caption,
% therefore the optional \meta{height correction} comes handy for
% small adjustments; this display mode is fully and freely floating,
% although its positioning option is fixed to~|[p]|, a float-only page.
% Therefore don't use it if the image is not really such as to occupy
% most of the text block area. 
%
%\item[\texttt{RF}]
% This display mode is convenient when the image
% aspect ratio is close to the reciprocal of the text block one. This
% mode accepts the \meta{height correction} in order to leave space
% for the caption. It is a fully and freely floating object with the
% same pros and cons as the \texttt{NF} display mode.
%
%\item[\texttt{VS}]
% This mode is convenient for tall and slim figures with aspect ratio
% not lower than~2; but for obvious reasons, it should not be too
% large, let's say, not larger than about~3 or~4. As always this depends
% on the page design and the caption size. The limitations of the
% underlying |wrapfig| or |wrapfig2| packages forbid their usage too
% close to explicit lists and texts typeset in special modes with a
% different measure from normal text. Again it is up to the user to chose
% where to insert the |DFfigure| environment or the |\DFimage| command.
% The |wrapfig| or |wrapfig2| package documentation, and our experience,
% show that the best position is just before a new paragraph; the
% environment end should be placed after a suitable number of full
% paragraphs, even if not all of them  are involved with wrapping.
%
% If the aspect ratio of the image to include is lower than~2, the
% following message is printed in the document where the image
% should appear (of course with |#1| replaced by the actual image
% file name):\\[2ex]
%\begin{minipage}{0.7\textwidth}
%\begin{verbatim}
%      ===========================================
%      Figure #1 is not tall enough.
%      Consider using a display mode different
%      from VS; may be NF or RF are better suited.
%      ===========================================
%      Nothing done!
%      ===========================================
%\end{verbatim}
%\end{minipage}\\[2ex]
% A similar action and a similar message is output if the \emph{scaled}
% image width becomes too small.
%
%\item[\texttt{SW}]
% This display mode is convenient when a really large
% image requires two pages to display all its details; its aspect ratio
% should be close to the aspect ratio of the total space
% available for the two page spread; depending on the page design this
% total space approximate value is probably around~0.5.
% The object to be included in the document should start on an even
% page, therefore it floats to the first even page available; this may
% force a page break where the current page is not fully completed and 
% may be shorter than the other text pages; the user
% then should help the automatic positioning by choosing very carefully
% where to insert the \cs{DFfigure} command in the source text; possibly
% the user should chose an end of paragraph close to the end of a page.
% The command or the environment may be used even within a source file
% paragraph; with a little attention: there should be no space between
% the end document command and the first character of the following text.
%
%\item[\texttt{HS}]
% This display mode is convenient when the initial image aspect
% ratio is very small; if it is smaller than~0.3 its insertion
% leaves enough space beneath the two image halves (plus caption)
% so that normal text can fill the space under such spread wide
% slim figure. The constraints described for display mode \texttt{SW}
% apply also to this mode.
%
% \item[\texttt{FS}]
% The \texttt{SW} mode occupies a spread without invading the lateral
% margins; it simply occupies only the internal margin. On the opposite,
% the \texttt{FS} Full Spread mode occupies also the lateral margins;
% typically a full spread of two A4 pages, can contain a rotated A3 page,
% without scaling down its contents. With this full occupation of both
% facing pages, there is no room for any caption; therefore the actual
% image, besides occupying an A3 page, should have a minimum white
% margin around, so that a caption can be superimposed to the image white
% part if its original bottom margin that, upon rotation, becomes the
% right one, is large enough. If the original image has no margins, the
% caption is typeset ove the image, but it may be coloured with
% contrasting color compared to the average background one.
%
% \item[\texttt{TH}]
% This mode is suited for tall figures that do not show well when their
% height is scaled to the text height; the upper and lower margins are
% available for a larger scale factor; even the internal margin is
% helpful to gain some space. In this case, though, the page header and
% footer should be avoided and the figure caption should be set at the
% image side, without any rotation; the little problem that arises in
% this case is that the caption, always close to the external margin,
% should not be rotated and its measure should be adapted in order to
% properly use the horizontal space left on the page. If this space is
% too narrow the figure, in spite if being taller then wide, is too
% wide: it has an aspect ratio higher than one but not enough. This
% display mode requires that the image has an aspect ratio greater
% than, say,  $\sqrt2$, otherwise the caption measure becomes too short.
% A warning message is issued if the total space left on the page is
% smaller than the external margin, where the caption would have the
% same measure as a marginal note. In spite if this fact, compilation
% goes on, and the attentive user not only evaluates the result,
% and examines the \texttt{.log} file where he finds the explanation
% of the possibly too bad result.
% \item[\texttt{TW}]
% A another Total Width mode is defined such that the scaled
% image and its (side) caption occupy the upper part of the page/paper.
% The given image is scaled to occupy the internal margin plus 80\%
% of the text block width; the remaining horizontal space is provided
% for a side caption and its lateral spaces, If the aspect ratio
% of the original image is not smaller than text block and internal
% margin widths divided by the paper height, the scaling might produce
% a scaled image too tall to fit into the paper. No tests are made
% in this sense, but it is up to the user the best choice for
% displaying a given image. On an A4 paper, depending on the page
% design, the aspect ratio available should be approximately 1.8,
% therefore this design accommodates a large number of different
% aspect ratio images, from a not so slim tall portrait image to
% a landscape image. A square image, scaled as described above, 
% may occupy approximately the upper half of the page.
% The caption is always well typeset in the adjacent free space,
% and it is possible to slightly modify its measure by using  an
% optional argument.

% \section{Acknowlegements}
%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% This package would not exist if Heinrich Fleck did not need
% to insert several large images in his documents; he asked
% me to create suitable commands and/or environments and he tested
% all the series of progressive developments of this package; believing
% that this package might be useful to other \TeX\ users, he invited
% me to submit the result to the \TeX\ community, and here it is.
% Heinrich did not want his name as a co-author, because he insists
% that he was “just” a tester. He was precious and I warmly thank him.
% 
% Thanks also to Benedict Wilde who spotted some errors and suggested
% the use of specific settings for the PDF viewer.
%
% Thanks also to the unknown person nicknamed “dylan.bacc” on the \GuIT\ 
% forum, who induced me to work on the sixth display mode. I knew that
% using the |memoir| class, with suitable settings, and having available
% an advanced printer, it was possible to print documents with pages of
% different formats and page designs; but this was not my aim: I wanted
% something possibly independent from the document class and not
% requiring any particular printer.
% The seventh display mode came to our minds when we found tall figures
% that did not show well scaled to the \emph{text block} height, but could
% show better if scaled to \emph{paper} height, with the caption at their
% side; actually we found that it was better to scale the image to a
% width of the internal margin plus 80\% of the text width, and placing
% the image flush to the upper paper border and to the spine. The eighth display mode is a varinat of the preceding one and allows to place some text beneath the image and caption block.

% The required \TeX\ format with is date, and the identification of this
% package have already ben inserted by the initial commands  of this
% documented file.
%
% Here we call the initial required packages and, since the necessary
% software to define some \LaTeX3 (L3) language “functions” are already
% part of the \LaTeX\ kernel, we just use them in order to define a
% robust \LaTeXe/L3 interface to create some testing macros that accept
% many logical operators that act on items that, besides boolean
% variables, are also numerical expressions connected with relation
% operators; for further details it suffices to examine the
% |interface3.pdf| file, that is integral part of any recent \TeX\ 
% system distribution. We needed also some commands to compare strings
% or to check if a given string was included into an L3 sequence
% (list) of strings.
%
% The syntax of the new testing macro is the following:
%\begin{ttsyntax}
%\cs{fptest}\marg{test}\marg{true}\marg{false}
%\end{ttsyntax}
% The logical operators that are usable in the \meta{text} phrase
% are \verb+||+ (\texttt{OR}), \verb+&&+ (\texttt{and}), and \verb+!+
% (\texttt{NOT}), plus other less common ones; the \verb+!+ negates the
% status of boolean variables, but also the numerical relation operators;
% these, on turn, may be paired so that, for example |>=| behaves as
% as~|!<|.
%
% The comparisons of strings with the following syntax
%\begin{ttsyntax}
%\cs{CompStrings}\marg{string\ped{1}}\marg{string\ped{2}}
%\end{ttsyntax}
% Produces a boolean result that may be used as a \meta{test} argument
% to |\fptest|.
% The |\SetList| macro defines a named L3 sequence variable containing
% the reference list of valid display modes, while the |\TestList| is
% an L3 function that tests if a given string is listed in a named
% sequence list. Their syntax is the following:
%\begin{ttsyntax}
%\cs{SetList}\marg{list name}\marg{comma separated string list}
% \cs{TestList}\meta{string}\marg{list name}\marg{true}\marg{false}
%\end{ttsyntax}
% The fields \meta{true} and \meta{false}, as usual, are the actions
% to be executed if the test is true  or false; the test is true if
% \meta{string} is listed into the \meta{named list}.

% Now we define the “real” user macro necessary to chose the
% \meta{display mode} and the various parameters necessary for the
% desired one. See section~\ref{sec:Usage} on page\pageref{sec:Usage}
% for its syntax and the other necessary arguments.  Notice that only
% two arguments are mandatory: the \meta{image file name} and the
% \meta{caption} text. All the other eight optional parameters are
% delimited by various delimiters; the first one, \meta{display mode}
% has as default setting the acronym \texttt{SW} for a “Spread-Wide”
% display mode; this mode was the one this package was initially
% conceived for, and its initials recall this priority. All other
% modes came afterwards. The other optional parameters may have a
% default value, but they are ignored by certain modes that don't use
% those parameters. As for the previous macro, for |\DFimage|
% the \meta{lof entry} defaults to the full \meta{caption} text. 
%
% Actually \cs{DFimage} just examines the \meta{display mode}, and
% accordingly passes the necessary parameters to the actual macros
% that implement the various mode displays. It outputs an error
% message if the \meta{display mode} acronym was misspelt. 
% The |\DFimage| command (and environment) needs the full list

% In the following subsections the eight specific display mode macros
% are examined and commented.
%^^A=====================================
% \subsection{The \cs{SWfigure} macro for Spread Wide images}
%^^A=====================================
%The specific macro for spread-wide images has the following syntax:
%\begin{ttsyntax}
%\cs{SWfigure}\marg{image file name}\oarg{lof entry}\marg{caption}\oarg{label}
%\qquad\parg{height correction}\aarg{lines}|\meta{width thest}|!precaption!
%\end{ttsyntax}
% The various arguments have already been described; as you see the
% \meta{display mode} argument is not there anymore, as well as the
% last two optional arguments of |\DFfigure|. Notice that the
% \meta{caption} text, the third argument of this macro, is used also
% to initialise the \meta{lof entry}, so that if the user does not
% specify such short caption entry, the default is identical to the
% full caption. Notice the the last arguments are not actually used;
% they are needed in the definition due to the way |DFimage| transfers
% its arguments to the called macros.
%
% The working strategy is the following: the initial image to be divided
% in two halves is stored in a box; this box is examined in order
% to find its total width and heigh, so as to be able to compute the
% aspect ratio. All other dimensions are examined to have available
% all the necessary data to display the image halves in the requested
% way.
%
% Notice that the |trim| option to |\includegraphics|, that is being
% used to divide the initial image in two exact halves, maybe should
% be used without specifying other options; but, most important,
% it requires actual numbers, not macros; therefore we have to make
% use of the usual “dirty” trick of defining an expanded macro
% |\x| within a group that the macro itself closes upon its
% expansion; in this way the optional argument of the |\includegraphics|
% macro contains only keywords and numbers and may be executed
% without errors.
%
% Let $W$ be the total spread width and $w$ be the original image
% width; let $H$ be the text height and $h$ the original image height;
% compute the $A_\mathrm{W}$ to be the aspect ratio of the spread
% available space $H/W$. Similarly let $A_\mathrm{fig}$ be the initial
% image aspect ratio; we have to scale the image with a
% scaling factor such that the image keeps its aspect ratio, but
% its scaled height does not exceed the text block height, and
% its scaled width does not exceed the spread width; of course the
% aim is to maintain the scaled image as large as possible therefore 
% we have to chose the most suited of the two scaling factors that
% can be computed from the given data and the inequalities 
% described above.
% In mathematical terms we have to chose the initial image scaling
% factor $S$ such that:
%\begin{equation}
%S= \left\{
%  \begin{array}{lll}
%    w/W &\mathrm{if}& A_\mathrm{fig} \leq A_\mathrm{W}\\
%    h/H &\mathrm{if}& A_\mathrm{fig}   >  A_\mathrm{W}
%  \end{array}
%\right.
%\label{equ:ScalingFactor}
%\end{equation}
% This choice is made by testing the various ratios by means of
% the L3 |\fptest| function, that computes such ratios and compares them.
% The \meta{test} shows exactly which lengths are used to
% compute the ratios, and which comparison is executed; the commented
% line over the |\fptest| macro emphasises this correspondence. Once the
% scaling factors are found the boxes containing the half figures
% are scaled and further on are inserted in floating figure
% environments; we use one of the dirty tricks: the matrioska dolls; this
% metaphor describes nested |\makebox|es used to mask their actual
% widths, but capable to push the images towards the spread spine.
% Eventually the caption is set in the right margin of the right
% spread page, rotated $90^\circ$ counterclockwise.
% The |cleartoeven| guaranties that the first float is set into an even
% numbered page. A final |\clearpage| ensures that both floats are
% output.

%\subsection{The \cs{NFfigure} macro for normal full
% page figures}
%^^A========================================
% This code is without surprises, except that it receives from the
% |DFimage| selector macro five usable arguments (plus three more
% ones that are not actually used); the fifth (optional) one
% being delimited by round parentheses; by default, it contains the
% value 0.8, but the user can pass to the selector macro a different
% value in order to reduce the actual image size so as to leave
% enough space beneath it for the caption; the user, in facts, does
% not know in advance how many lines would occupy a structured
% complex caption.

% \subsection{The \cs{RFfigure} macro for rotated figures}
%^^A========================================
% There are no new comments to make about this almost standard
% way of displaying a large figure, except, perhaps, the fact
% the instead of invoking the |lscape| package, the whole figure
% is rotated by means of rotating the very box that was used
% to contain the scaled image; the selector macro does not pass
% any \meta{height correction} argument to this macro, because
% it automatically scales the box containing the image and 
% the caption so as to fill up the height or the width of the
% text block. Of course the macro L3 signature includes also
% the descriptors of unused arguments.

%    \end{macrocode}
%^^A========================================
% \subsection{The \cs{VSfigure} macro for tall and slim figures}
%^^A========================================
% This is the most critical macro (because it depends
% on the |wrapfig| package) in order to set the image with its
% caption on the external side of the text block, with the text flowing
% around it. Package |wrapfig| has several limitations concerning
% the text that flows around the image. Nevertheless with a “normal”
% textual contents of the text block the result may be very good.
%
% The user is recommended to attentively read the |wrapfig|
% documentation because it has several limitations. Here we suggest
% the user to open the environment just before a paragraph and
% close it after several paragraphs; remember that since the opening
% and the closing statements are far away from one another, it is
% possible to forget this situation and insert another such
% environment, or a |\DFimage| command, within the former one 
% and this will produce undesirable effects; never ever nest two
% |Dfimage| environments and never ever insert a |\DFimage| command
% within an environment.
%
% The user should help a little bit the correct performance of
% this macro; for this reason, besides the \meta{height correction}
% factor, the selector macro may pass to it also the \meta{line
% correction} in order to correct the amount of lines the wrapping
% text should be indented; by playing with both corrections
% good results may be obtained.
%
% Notice that only with this macro a test on the initial image
% aspect ratio is performed; should this image have an aspect ratio
% smaller than~2, the process is aborted and a message is printed
% in the output document that informs the user and recommends to
% use another \meta{display mode} code.
%
% Furthermore, should the image be very slim and tall, the 
% \meta{height correction} may conveniently reduce its height,
% but, in order to avoid changing its aspect ratio, it reduces
% also its width; eventually the width is reduced to the point that
% beneath the image there would not be enough space for a decently
% typeset caption. A further optional delimited argument is available:
% its delimiting tokens are two vertical bars, \verb+| |+, and its
% default value is \texttt{0.25}. This means that if the scaled
% image becomes narrower than this coefficient times the text width,
% an other message is typeset in place of the figure. Depending on the
% various elements that influence these tests, the user can try
% different values for this coefficient, even reaching the value zero,
% that eliminates such test on the scaled image width.

%\subsection{The \cs{FSfigure}~macro for Full Spread figures}
%^^A%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Although using certain classes, such as |memoir|, it is possible to
% typeset documents on pages of different sizes and to print them on
% advanced printers that use different sized papers, this package aims
% to be independent form any class and any printer; it is limited to
% the ordinary default paper size A4, as it is usual in Europe, but
% letter paper is also valid; ideally it would typeset an A3 sized
% image on a full spread, i.e. by filling also the space  of all the
% lateral margins.
%
% Actually with American paper sizes there is not a series of sizes
% that behaves as the ISO A series, but this macro tries to adjust the
% large image to the available full spread; this means an image as
% large as two standard pages. 
%
% If the available image is taller than large, with an aspect ratio
% around~$\sqrt2$, it turns the image 90° counterclockwise; cuts it in
% two identically sized halves, and sets them on two facing pages joining
% them at the spine but covering the greatest part of both pages, so
% as to avoid exceeding either the paper height or twice the paper width.
% If the image has an landscape aspect ratio close to $\sqrt{1/2}$, it
% does the same, except rotating the image.
%
% In any case the user creates a separate PDF file to be imported into
% the document that is supposed to contain it; it is better if this PDF
% is of vectorial type, i.e. any drawing and all fonts should be
% vectorial; this PDF might contain photos or similar images of
% rasterised type, but the pixel density should be suitably high in
% order to preserve the image quality.
%
% The user has two choices: $(a)$ either the image has its own margins,
% or $(b)$ the image is cropped and has no white margins.
%
% Normally this display mode does not leave space for a caption;
% therefore if a caption is needed, it is overprinted on the image;
% in case $(a)$ there are no problems because the caption goes over
% the white right margin (rotated 90° counterclockwise); while in
% case $(b)$ the caption is over printed on the right side of the
% image; depending on the image “background” a different color 
% might be more suited compared to the the default color (black).
% The last macro argument takes care of inserting before the caption
% any declaration that may involve color, displacement, font encoding
% (seldom necessary), family, series, shape and size; 
%
% With all the above constraints the syntax of this \cs{FSimage}
% macro is the following; it uses one of the main macro delimited
% optional arguments in a different way:
%\begin{ttsyntax}\setfontsize{9.25}%
%\cs{FSimage}\marg{image file name}\oarg{lof entry}\marg{caption text}\oarg{label string}
%\qquad\parg{height correction}\aarg{line correction}\barg{width text}!\meta{precaption}!
%\end{ttsyntax}
% The above is the full definition, but the fifth, sixth and seventh
% arguments are not used; they are necessary for the special
% mechanism of argument transfer from the environment or command
% opening statement arguments to this actual macro.
%
% Moreover, since the included image overlaps the top and bottom
% margins, if these contain the header and footer such elements
% would show if the image is not sufficiently opaque; in any case the
% footer would show because it overlaps the image. Since most
% images are not really opaque it is better to locally  use the
% \texttt{empty} page style, but without using the |\thispagestyle|
% command, because it holds for just one page, while the spread
% occupies two pages. The macro provides this setting but it has
% to create a group in case the |\DFimage| command is used, while
% it is not necessary when using the |DFimage| environment,
% therefore the current environment is tested and the opening
% |\bgroup| and closing |\egroup| commands are used only if the
% code is used without the environment.
%
% Therefore the code steps are the following:
%\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
%\item
% The initial figure is loaded into a box from which the necessary
% measures are taken; in particular its width and its height in
% order to check the aspect ratio, or better, which dimension is greater
% than the other.  If the height is smaller than the width the image is
% sort of landscape and we proceed splitting the total image box into
% two equal halves, with a vertical cut in the middle. 
%\item
% Otherwise the image is as a portrait, and we split the total image
% block into two halves with an horizontal cut in the middle; such two
% boxes need a rotation of 90° anticlockwise due to the horizontal cut of
% an original that was higher than wide image. With this operation we
% simulate a rotation of the original image, because it is not allowed to
% simultaneously rotate and trim the original image; the trimming
% action apparently cannot be executed together with any other one
% among the many other that the |\includegraphics| command can
% do\footnote{Actually it can, provided that the trim option with
% its arguments is specified before any other option.}.
% Of course, with this rotation of the half pictures we have to
% redefine the height and width to use for scaling.
%\item
% The |\fptest| is used to compare the aspect ratios of any of the two
% equal halves with the aspect ratio of the paper. If the former
% aspect ratio is higher than the latter, the scaling factor is
% based on the heights, otherwise on the widths, so as to resize
% both half picture boxes to fit within the paper.
%\item
% The |\cleartoeven| command allows to use the main macro even within
% a paragraph; in any case it possibly inserts a blanc page and restarts
% working on an even page. First is sets the left half picture box;
% that complicated series of vertical and horizontal boxes of different
% specified dimensions contains displacements and the material to output;
% That complicated alternating set is to guarantee that no overfull
% vertical or horizontal boxes are created, in spite of the fact that
% an object larger than the text block is being output; at the same
% time the box must be flush right in order to reach the spine.
%\item
% The right half is even more complicated to build, because there
% is also the caption to set on the right of the page, overwriting
% the right part of the image, but the idea is always to close
% correctly every box putting the right spacing commands  at the
% beginning or at the end of each box.
%\item
% Eventually a |\clearpage| flushes out everything that is still in 
% the figure stack and possibly restores the vertical or horizontal
% typesetting mode depending on the status that was in force when
% the |\DFimage| command  or the |DFimage| environment started their
% expansion. 
% Due to the size of the images that completely fill up all the
% margins, probably the best way to output such huge images is at
% the end of a chapter, or at the end of the whole document.

%\subsection{The \cs{THfigure} macro for the Total Height figure}
%^^A========================================
% This Total Height display mode exploit the total paper height to
% scale a figure and sets the image close to the spine independently
% from the fact that the spine ins on the right of even numbered
% pages, and on the left on odd numbered ones; a test is made on the
% page parity, that in any case is going to contain only the figure
% with its caption and nothing else. For this reason the macro provides
% a \cs{cleartopage} at the beginning and another similar command on the
% end. As usual this macro is not supposed to be used by the user,
% who should use the command \cs{DFimage}; using the environment
% is recommended if it is used within a paragraph, but it should not
% include any text.
%
% The full syntax is the following:
%\begin{ttsyntax}\setfontsize{9.25}%
%\cs{FSimage}\marg{image file name}\oarg{lof entry}\marg{caption text}\oarg{label string}
%\qquad\parg{caption width percent}\aarg{line correction}\barg{width text}!\meta{precaption}!
%\end{ttsyntax}
% although the last three arguments are not used.
%
% All the code before the first \cs{cleartopage} command is used to
% examine the dimensions of the original image, and to perform the
% necessary assignments to the various dimensions and boxes. The
% test on the relationship between the \cs{DFwidth} image width and
% the sum of the text and internal margin widths is to compute the
% caption measure and assign the result to the dimension
% register \cs{TScaptionwidth}; this width is tested to control if it
% is too small; in case a warning message is issued.
%
% The following question is natural: When is this display mode
% convenient? After all, also  the \texttt{VS} display mode applies
% to tall and slim images, so this  \texttt{TH} mode and the other
% \texttt{VS} mode are in competition. In a way they are, but their
% results are very different; The latter mode produces images non
% larger than half the test block and not taller than the text block.
% The former mode produces images that are taller than the text block
% and possibly larger than the text block. Therefore this is one of
% the possible criteria to chose which display mode is more suitable
% for a given image. another other criterion deals with the image aspect
% ratio and the available space aspect ratio; since the height of the
% \texttt{TH} scaled image is fixed, the user should pay attention to
% its width; the scaled image width, in facts, should not exceed the
% sum of the internal margin width and the test block one, otherwise
% the space for the caption becomes too small and a warning message
% is issued. At the same time if the scaled image width is smaller
% than approximately one half of the text width plus the internal
% margin one, the space remaining for the caption becomes too large.
%
% After that the |figure| environment is coded starting with
% the control on the page parity; depending on this parity different
% dirty tricks with several kinds of boxes are performed so as to
% set into the page a huge block that fills all the available vertical
% space on the paper; the parity influences the order in which the various
% embedded boxes interact with one another, but the main point is
% that the box containing the caption must be on the external side
% of the box containing the image; its measure may be fine tuned 
% (increased or reduced) with respect to available white space; the
% argument \meta{caption width percent} delimited by round parentheses
% by default equals 0.8, but the user can specify a different value
% to the selector macro, so that the caption measure is that specified
% percentage of the computed caption width.
%
% After closing the |figure| environment a final \cs{clearpage} is
% issued so that the figures stack remains completely empty; in
% particular the current figure is output, but the initial typesetting
% mode is restored, so that if the environment was specified in the
% middle of a paragraph the paragraph continues to be typeset without
% problems; of course if the environment is followed by a blanc line,
% such settings become ineffective because a new paragraph is started.
% The end of the \cs{DFimage} command provides to close the group,
% therefore all the assignments to the various registers are restored.

%^^A========================================
%\subsection{The \texttt{TW} for the Total Width
% image plus its side caption}
%^^A========================================
% This particular mode is a variant of the \texttt{FH} full height mode,
% where scaling of a not sufficiently narrow image, may produce a figure
% that does not exceed the page dimesions, but that might leave such a
% small narrow strip of white space to typeset the caption that it comes
% out as a very poorly typeset object. This other \texttt{TW} does not
% have this drawback, but it might produce figures that exceed the paper
% height in order to remain within the preset limits foreseen for a nicely
% typeset side caption.
%
% Some details are pretty delicate, but let us start from the beginning.
% The  seven code lines afterthe first one, are the usual lines similar
% to those at the beginning of the other macros; The original image is
% stored in a box, from which all possible metric informations are derived
% and the scaling factor is computed; afterward the boc is scaled
% according to the computed scaling factor, and re-stored into the
% same box.
%
% Command |\cleartopage| behaves as usual and sets the |\if@SWtmode|
% so as to be able to restore the typesetting modo (horizontal or
% vertical) at the end of this macro expansion. This means, also,
% that for this display mode both the command and the homonymous
% environment |DFimage| may be used.
%
% The page style is set to |empty|, so that the full width block may
% be set flush to the top of the paper, without overwriting any page
% decoration; even the possible folio in the bottom margin is not
% overwritten onto the image.
% 
% The test for the parity of the folio number is taken; the true and
% the false branches are very similar, bat the actions that differ
% because depend on the folio parity are interspersed between the
% other code lines. This is why two |figure|environments are defined,
% even if their contents is pretty similar.
%
% We comment the true branch for odd numbered figures, and with slight
% changes they equal those for the even numbered page; Therefore we
% omit the latter.
%
% We box the figure and the caption into an |\hbox| named |\DFimageII|;
% the image box |\DFimageI| si typeset inside a |\parbox| were the measure
% is specified as the boxed image width. The |\parbox| as well as the
% following |minipage| environment are but vertically centred, so that
% we are sure that the caption median will coincide with that of the
% boxed image. As you see the caption is at the right of the boxed
% image, and in an odd numbered page the caption is close and partially
% over the external margin; the opposite takes place for the even
% numbered pages, and again the caption is close or over such page
% external margin.
%
% We can now measure the various geometric properties of the image-caption
% block; notice that his block is large as the internal margin plus
% spaces plus the caption for a total of |\paperwidth|. We should
% keep this in mind in order to re-box the block into a |\textwidth|
% wide box with the necessary stretch and shrink horizontal glue
% in oder to let it fit the paper width wich is larger that the
% text width

% Moreover we measure the upper white margin, that is white, because
% of the |empty| page style, but the header box, its separator from
% the text, the |\topmargin| with its 1~inch offset, in order to raise
% the image-caption box to be flush to the upper paper border.
% Now we can fill up a vertical box of the computed height; this box
% is inside the text block, but it must overlap the upper vertical
% space so the real height of this box is smaller than its contents
% and a vertical stretch and shrink glue is necessary.
% Eventually with these nestes vertical and horizontal boxes we can
% output the whole contents and the result is as we expected.
